After this patch, "UnitTester BSymLink" passes.
BSymLink::ReadLink() in BeOS would always return the length of the
link unless an error occurred. Before this patch, Haiku instead seemed
to emulate posix readlink() behavior, returning the number of bytes
copied into the output buffer.
BeOS also did not guarantee that the string written into the output
buffer is NULL terminated if the output buffer cannot contain the
entire link contents, but the Haiku implementation does since it is is
a basic safety issue.
This patch fixes this and updates the Haiku API docs to describe the
behavior explicitly.
Fixing this required changing behavior in bfs_read_link, which
required changes in many more places.
docs/user/storage/SymLink.dox:
src/kits/storage/SymLink.cpp:
* Don't return B_BUFFER_OVERFLOW if the provided buffer is not large
enough to hold the link contents.
* Update documentation to clearly describe behavior.
src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/bfs/kernel_interface.cpp:
* Change bfs_read_link() to always return the link length. This is
called by common_read_link in the VFS, which is called by
_kern_read_link().
src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/btrfs/kernel_interface.cpp:
src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/exfat/kernel_interface.cpp:
src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/ext2/kernel_interface.cpp:
src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/iso9660/kernel_interface.cpp:
src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/netfs/client/netfs.cpp:
src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/nfs/nfs_add_on.c:
src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/ramfs/kernel_interface.cpp:
src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/reiserfs/Iterators.cpp:
src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/reiserfs/Iterators.h:
src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/reiserfs/Volume.cpp:
src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/reiserfs/Volume.h:
* Update the implementation of read_link for these filesystems. Some
of them were incorrect, and some had just copied the posix behavior of
bfs from before this patch.
* Use user_memcpy in ext2_read_link()
* Use user_memcpy in nfs fs_read_link()
* Use user_memcpy in reiserfs StreamReader::_ReadIndirectItem and
StreamReader::_ReadDirectItem
* Remove unused method Volume::ReadObject in reiserfs.
src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/packagefs/nodes/UnpackingLeafNode.cpp:
src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/packagefs/package_links/PackageLinkSymlink.cpp:
* Update UnpackingLeafNode::ReadSymlink and
PackageSymLink::ReadSymLink() to set the bufferSize out parameter to
the symlink length. Both of these are called by
packagefs_read_symlink.
* Use user_memcpy
src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/netfs/client/netfs.cpp:
* netfs seems mostly unimplemented. Added a FIXME note for future
implementers so that they know to implement the correct behavior.
src/system/libroot/posix/unistd/link.c:
* readlinkat() was just wrapping _kern_read_link() because before this
patch it had expected posix behavior. But now it does not, so we
need to return the number of bytes written to the output
buffer.
src/build/libroot/fs.cpp:
* Update _kern_read_link() in the compatibility code to emulate the
Haiku behavior on the host system. This is done by using an
intermediate buffer that is guaranteed to fit the link contents and
returning its length. The intermediate buffer is copied into the
output buffer until there is no more room.
src/tests/kits/storage/SymLinkTest.cpp:
* This patch also resolves some test failures similar to those
resolved in

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
