who are ELF now. Needed because cross-building them is still a
problem. These loaders will try /emul/aout first, but do not
have the baggage that COMPAT_AOUT has.
Kernel:
* Add runtime quantity lfs_ravail, the number of disk-blocks reserved
for writing. Writes to the filesystem first reserve a maximum amount
of blocks before their write is allowed to proceed; after the blocks
are allocated the reserved total is reduced by a corresponding amount.
If the lfs_reserve function cannot immediately reserve the requested
number of blocks, the inode is unlocked, and the thread sleeps until
the cleaner has made enough space available for the blocks to be
reserved. In this way large files can be written to the filesystem
(or, smaller files can be written to a nearly-full but thoroughly
clean filesystem) and the cleaner can still function properly.
* Remove explicit switching on dlfs_minfreeseg from the kernel code; it
is now merely a fs-creation parameter used to compute dlfs_avail and
dlfs_bfree (and used by fsck_lfs(8) to check their accuracy). Its
former role is better assumed by a properly computed dlfs_avail.
* Bounds-check inode numbers submitted through lfs_bmapv and lfs_markv.
This prevents a panic, but, if the cleaner is feeding the filesystem
the wrong data, you are still in a world of hurt.
* Cleanup: remove explicit references of DEV_BSIZE in favor of
btodb()/dbtob().
lfs_cleanerd:
* Make -n mean "send N segments' blocks through a single call to
lfs_markv". Previously it had meant "clean N segments though N calls
to lfs_markv, before looking again to see if more need to be cleaned".
The new behavior gives better packing of direct data on disk with as
little metadata as possible, largely alleviating the problem that the
cleaner can consume more disk through inefficient use of metadata than
it frees by moving dirty data away from clean "holes" to produce
entirely clean segments.
* Make -b mean "read as many segments as necessary to write N segments
of dirty data back to disk", rather than its former meaning of "read
as many segments as necessary to free N segments worth of space". The
new meaning, combined with the new -n behavior described above,
further aids in cleaning storage efficiency as entire segments can be
written at once, using as few blocks as possible for segment summaries
and inode blocks.
* Make the cleaner take note of segments which could not be cleaned due
to error, and not attempt to clean them until they are entirely free
of dirty blocks. This prevents the case in which a cleanerd running
with -n 1 and without -b (formerly the default) would spin trying
repeatedly to clean a corrupt segment, while the remaining space
filled and deadlocked the filesystem.
* Update the lfs_cleanerd manual page to describe all the options,
including the changes mentioned here (in particular, the -b and -n
flags were previously undocumented).
fsck_lfs:
* Check, and optionally fix, lfs_avail (to an exact figure) and
lfs_bfree (within a margin of error) in pass 5.
newfs_lfs:
* Reduce the default dlfs_minfreeseg to 1/20 of the total segments.
* Add a warning if the sgs disklabel field is 16 (the default for FFS'
cpg, but not usually desirable for LFS' sgs: 5--8 is a better range).
* Change the calculation of lfs_avail and lfs_bfree, corresponding to
the kernel changes mentioned above.
mount_lfs:
* Add -N and -b options to pass corresponding -n and -b options to
lfs_cleanerd.
* Default to calling lfs_cleanerd with "-b -n 4".
[All of these changes were largely tested in the 1.5 branch, with the
idea that they (along with previous un-pulled-up work) could be applied
to the branch while it was still in ALPHA2; however my test system has
experienced corruption on another filesystem (/dev/console has gone
missing :^), and, while I believe this unrelated to the LFS changes, I
cannot with good conscience request that the changes be pulled up.]
* Apply DT_PLTRELSZ to (one of) pltrel or pltrela *after* we've finished
parsing the headers, so we know which one.
* Fix sparc64 bogons. (It works now!)
prevents the ftp bounce attack, and we should be secure out of the
box, not require users to tweak obscure stuff.
* allow the version string reported to clients to be changed with '-V vers'.
if vers is empty or `-', don't report a version.
* if -r is given, permanently drop root privs
* if not a REAL user (i.e, GUEST or CHROOT), and ftpd is running on a port
> IPPORT_RESERVED+1, permanently drop root privs
* don't bother reverting to root privs to logout of wtmp/utmp; since the
file descriptor is already open this isn't necessary.
* fix the binding of the port for the PORT/LPRT/EPRT connection to be the
ctrl_addr.su_port-1, not hardcoded to `20' (this was broken in the ipv6
merge). if root privs have been dropped, and this would be a port <
IPPORT_RESERVED, use a random port instead (which isn't RFC959 compliant
but it doesn't appear that many clients care).
* prevent login of a new user if privs have been dropped and already logged
in as a REAL user (existing check already stops GUEST & CHROOT users).
* move the port check stuff into a separate port_check() function, and use
for PORT, LPRT, and EPRT checks. inspired by freebsd
* minor KNF
* minor man page cleanup
chroot specify dir to chroot to for GUEST and CHROOT users, to
override -a anondir or the user's homedir.
homedir specify dir to change to upon login; also used for ~ expansion
and $HOME for subprocesses)
both of these can take % escapes: %u (username), %d (homedir), %c (class).
* fix NLST to take a pathname not a STRING, so that ~ expansion works
* modify CWD to use the homedir parsed from curclass.homedir
* implement format_path(dst, src), to parse src expanding % escapes (see above)
into dst.
* rename format_file() to display_file()
- Redirect standard error to "/dev/null" because "nroff" error messages
for temporary files aren't really useful.
- Don't let "nroff" open temporary file. Use its file descriptor as
standard input.
appears to match that of 'mimencode' (from metamail).
