2007-02-11[PATCH] uml: umid tidyingJeff Dike
Add an error message when two umids are put on the command line. umid.h is kind of pointless since it only declares one thing, and that is already declared in os.h. Commented the lack of locking of some data in os-Linux/umid.h.

2006-07-01[PATCH] uml: rename and improve actually_do_remove()Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Rename actually_do_remove() to remove_files_and_dir(), make it call closedir(), make it ignore ENOENT (I see it frequently enough). ENOENT is probably due to multiple threads calling the exitcall functions together*, but fixing that is non-trivial; and ignoring it is perfectly ok in any case. * it can surely happen: last_ditch_exit() is installed as SIGTERM handler at boot, and it's not removed on thread creation. So killall vmlinux (which I do) surely causes that. I've seen also a crash which seems to do the same. Installing the handler on only the main thread would make UML do no cleanup when another thread exits, and we're not sure we want that. And mutual exclusion in that context is tricky - we can't use spinlock in code not on a kernel stack (spinlock debugging uses "current" a lot).

2006-07-01[PATCH] uml: fix not_dead_yet when directory is in bad statePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
The bug occurred to me when a UML left an empty ~/.uml/Sarge-norm folder - when trying to reuse not_dead_yet() failed one of its check. The comment says that's ok and means that we can take the directory, but while normally not_dead_yet() removes it and returns 0 (i.e. go on, use this), on failure it returns 0 but forgets to remove it. The fix is to remove it anytime we're going to return 0. But since "not_dead_yet" didn't make the interface so clear, causing this bug, and I couldn't find a convenient name for the mix of things it did, I split it into two parts: is_umdir_used() - returns a boolean, contains all checks of not_dead_yet() umdir_take_if_dead - tries to remove the dir unless it's used - returns whether it removed it, that is we now own it. With this changes the control flow is IMHO a bit clearer and needs less comment for control flow.

2006-05-01[PATCH] uml: error handling fixesJeff Dike
Blairsorblade noticed some confusion between our use of a system call's return value and errno. This patch fixes a number of related bugs - using errno instead of a return value using a return value instead of errno forgetting to negate a error return to get a positive error code Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Cc: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-04-11[PATCH] uml: fix failure path after conversionPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Little fix for error paths in this code. - Some bug come from conversion to os-Linux (open() doesn't follow the kernel -errno return convention, while the old code called os_open_file() which followed it). This caused the wrong return code to be printed. - Then be more precise about what happened and do some whitespace fixes.

2006-03-27[PATCH] uml: prevent umid theftJeff Dike
Behavior when booting two UMLs with the same umid was broken. The second one would steal the umid. This fixes that, making the second UML take a random umid instead.

2006-01-06[PATCH] uml: umid cleanupJeff Dike
This patch cleans up the umid code: - The only_if_set argument to get_umid is gone. - get_umid returns an empty string rather than NULL if there is no umid. - umid_is_random is gone since its users went away. - Some printfs were turned into printks because the code runs late enough that printk is working. - Error paths were cleaned up. - Some functions now return an error and let the caller print the error message rather than printing it themselves. This eliminates the practice of passing a pointer to printf or printk in, depending on where in the boot process we are. - Major tidying of not_dead_yet - mostly error path cleanup, plus a comment explaining why it doesn't react to errors the way you might expect. - Calls to os_* interfaces that were moved under os are changed back to their native libc forms. - snprintf, strlcpy, and their bounds-checking friends are used more often, replacing by-hand bounds checking in some places.

2006-01-06[PATCH] uml: separate libc-dependent umid codeJeff Dike
I reworked Gennady's umid OS abstraction patch because the code shouldn't be moved entirely to os. As it turns out, I moved most of it anyway. This patch is the minimal one needed to move the code and have it work. It turns out that the concept of the umid is OS-independent, but almost everything else about the implementation is OS-dependent. This is code movement without cleanup - a follow-on patch tidies everything up without shuffling code around.
