As discussed in the previous commit "Don't crash probing libparted
unrecognised encrypted file system (#152)", detect_filesystem() accepted
a NULL lp_device pointer and dereferenced it leading to the crash.
Document the requirement for lp_device parameter to be non-NULL via an
assert and also correctly const the parameters.
This forces needing to const the lp_partition parameter to
get_partition_path() too. Also assert it's non-NULL requirement.
Closes#152 - GParted crashed when trying to probe an encrypted
partition containing content that libparted doesn't
recognise
Create a LUKS encrypted partition and open it. Then either leave the
contents blank or create a file system which libparted doesn't
recognise, such as: exfat, f2fs, lvm2 pv, minix or reiser4. When
GParted probes the disk device it crashes.

The relevant sequence of events goes like this:
detect_filesystem_in_encryption_mapping(path, ...)
lp_device = NULL
get_device(path, lp_device)
lp_device = ped_device_get(path.c_str())
return true
lp_disk = NULL
lp_partition = NULL
get_disk(lp_device, lp_disk) // + default parameter strict=true
lp_disk = ped_disk_new(lp_device)
// No libparted recognised disk label or file system found, so
// NULL returned.
destroy_device_and_disk(lp_device, lp_disk)
ped_device_destroy(lp_device)
lp_device = NULL
return false
detect_filesystem(lp_device, lp_partition, ...)
path = lp_device->path
The key points are:
1. get_device() created a PedDevice object pointed to by lp_device;
2. get_disk() didn't find a libparted recognised disk label or file
system but also unexpectedly destroyed the PedDevice object and
assigned NULL to lp_device;
3. detect_filesystem() dereferenced lp_device assuming it was still
valid.
Implement the simplest possible fix by telling get_disk() to not
destroy the needed PedDevice object when there's no recognised content.
This is the same as how get_disk() is called in set_device_from_disk().

Even though blkid is considered mandatory [1] GParted should still
perform reasonably when blkid is not available, provided that is not too
onerous a task. Also use libparted file system identification inside
encryption mappings.

Closes 148 - Encrypted file systems are no longer recognised
GParted no longer recognises file systems inside LUKS encryption, apart
from the few recognised by GParted's internal detection. Bisected to
this commit:

Pass device and partition names to blkid (#131)
Prior to this commit blkid was run querying all known block devices
including active encryption mappings, hence prior recognition. With
this commit blkid was run only for named or found disk devices and
associated found partitions from /proc/partitions, so no more
recognition of encrypted file systems.
Fix by running blkid on the encryption mapping just before querying for
the file system. This restores the level of functionality that existed
before.
Closes 148 - Encrypted file systems are no longer recognised
To avoid making set_luks_partition() more complicated extract the file
system detection portion into a new function.
Closes 148 - Encrypted file systems are no longer recognised
Since changes for issue #131 "GParted hangs when non-named device is
hung" FS_Info cache is initialised, cleared and loaded via one call to
load_cache_for_paths(). It runs blkid for named or found disk devices
and associated found partitions from /proc/partitions, rather than
running blkid and letting it report for all block devices.
To avoid the possibility of using blkid on an encryption mapping on a
non-specified and possibly hung block device GParted can't just specify
all encryption mappings. Instead only encryption mappings which belong
to the above identified block devices should be probed. That requires
identifying LUKS encryption data in the block devices first so will
require subsequently loading additional data into the FS_Info cache and
running blkid again.
To accommodate this make the FS_Info cache incrementally loadable,
rather than doing everything in a single call to load_cache_for_paths().
Have a separate clear_cache() call which initialises and clears the
cache and make load_cache_for_paths() just run blkid and insert data for
the named paths.
Closes 148 - Encrypted file systems are no longer recognised
Reiser4 has introduced new disk format which includes support for
spanning the file system over multiple block devices (subvolumes)
[1][2]. As such the output of the debugfs.reiser4 for the UUID has
changed slightly. So far the new reiser4progs package (version 2.0.x)
is only available as a Debian experimental package.
Using reiser4progs 1.2.1 the old output was like this:

The GitLab CI ubuntu_test job has occasionally been failing like this,
perhaps once every few weeks or so.

Turns out there are 2 bugs in resier4progs. One causes debugfs.reiser4
to report a null UUID if the first byte of the UUID happens to be zero
[1], and the other cases mkfs.resier4 to write a corrupted UUID,
sometimes a null (all zeros) UUID [2].
There is a 1 in 256 chance of getting a null UUID [2] when creating and
reading a reiser4 file system, hence the occasional failure of the CI
job. The centos_test job isn't affected because CentOS doesn't have the
reiser4progs package.
Fix this by detecting when reiser4 reports a null UUID and assign a
dummy UUID to make the test pass. This does mean that there is a 1 in
256 chance of not detecting a true failure. However that still means
there is a 255 in 256 chance of detecting a true failure. That's good
odds. When a null UUID is detected for a reiser4 file system the test
output looks like this:
[ RUN ] My/SupportedFileSystemsTest.CreateAndReadUUID/reiser4

Print the kernel version and supported file systems inside the GNOME

CI job runner's distribution to identify kernel features. Supported
file systems identifies which ones can be mounted, should that be
possible in future. Print supported file systems before and after the
tests because checking for support may load additional modules. See
calls to Utils::kernel_supports_fs() for: btrfs, jfs, nilfs2 and xfs.
Closes#147 - GitLab CI test failure from *.CreateAndGrow/jfs
For the first time ever the ubuntu_test GitLab CI job failed running the
JFS grow test like this. Fragment from tests/test-suite.log:

JFS can only be grown when mounted by the kernel and GParted only
enables JFS grow support when, among other things, kernel support is
detected.
Unknowingly the JFS grow test had always previously been skipped, even
in the ubuntu_test CI job which installs jfsutils, because the kernel
didn't support JFS. Capture of this test from another run of the
ubuntu_test CI job:
[ RUN ] My/SupportedFileSystemsTest.CreateAndGrow/jfs
test_SupportedFileSystems.cc:641: Skip test. grow not supported or support not found
[ OK ] My/SupportedFileSystemsTest.CreateAndGrow/jfs (0 ms)
Plus additional debug added into the job based on what
Utils::kernel_supports_fs() does to identify kernel support:
$ fgrep jfs /proc/filesystems || true
$ modprobe jfs || true
modprobe: FATAL: Module jfs not found in directory /lib/modules/3.10.0-1160.11.1.el7.x86_64
$ fgrep jfs /proc/filesystems || true
Therefore until now every GitLab job runner machine kernel didn't
support JFS, but for the first time ever this ubuntu_test job ran on a
runner machine where the kernel did support JFS, hence the attempt to
use losetup.
Examining test_SupportFileSystems.cc there are 24 file system tests
which specify SKIP_IF_NOT_ROOT_FOR_REQUIRED_LOOPDEV_FOR_FS(), but only
17 exclusions in .gitlab-ci.yaml [1]. The 7 tests without exclusions
are:
*.CreateAndReadLabel/lvm2pv
*.CreateAndReadUUID/lvm2pv
*.CreateAndWriteLabel/lvm2pv
*.CreateAndWriteUUID/lvm2pv
*.CreateAndGrow/jfs
*.CreateAndGrow/nilfs2
*.CreateAndShrink/nilfs2
For LVM2 PVs reading and writing of labels and UUIDs aren't implemented
(only reading of UUIDs could be supported as the others are impossible)
so those tests are always skipped. Add unit test exclusions just for
completeness.
JFS grow is this case. NILFS2 grow and shrink are more cases where
kernel support is needed. Add unit test exclusions to stop attempting
to run JFS and NILFS2 resizing tests, which don't currently work because
losetup doesn't work in the GitLab CI docker images [1].

Change the name from first_creatable_fs to default_fs to be more

to index the items in the combo_filesystem derived ComboBox, make it's
type an int to match the type of the parameter passed to
Gtk::ComboBox::set_active() [1]. Initialise default_fs to -1 (no
selection) in the class constructor [2], which also allows removal of
local variable set_first just used to track whether first_creatable_fs
had been assigned yet or not.

... in Dialog_Partition_New::build_filesystems_combo(). set_data()
populates this->FILESYSTEMS[] vector with supported file systems with
cleared, unformatted and extended added to the end. Then
build_filesystems_combo() adds those items to combo_filesystem, skipping
extended. It then makes the last item in the combobox sensitive,
relying on the fact that it is unformatted.
Refactor the code so build_filesystems_combo() no longer relies on
unformatted being the last item in combo_filesystem to always enable it.
... in Dialog_Partition_New::set_data(). As the change signal for
combo_filesystem has already been connected, combo_changed(false) is
automatically called by setting the active selection. Therefore remove
the unnecessary call.
"Type" was rather a generic name. Use "combo_type_changed" which makes
it clear that the boolean parameter indicates whether a change to
combo_type or one of the other ComboBoxes triggered this callback.
On an MSDOS partitioned drive, open the Create New Partition dialog and

351 // combo_filesystem and combo_alignment
352 if ( ! type )
353 {
> 354 fs = FILESYSTEMS[combo_filesystem.get_active_row_number()];
When the partition type is changed to Extended the file system is forced
to be "Extended" too. This is done in ::combobox_changed() method by
modifying combo_filesystem to add "Extended", making that the selected
item and setting the widget as inactive.
Then when the partition type is changed back to primary the file system
combobox is returned to it's previous state. This is done by first
removing the last "Extended" item, making the widget active and setting
the selected item. However as "Extended" is the currently selected
item, removing it forces their to be no selected item and triggers a
change to combo_filesystem triggering a recursive call to
::combobox_changed() where combo_filesystem.get_active_row_number()
returns -1 (no selection) [5] and on line 354 the code accesses item -1
of the FILESYSTEMS[] vector.
Fix by setting the new combo_filesystem selection before removing the
currently selected "Extended" item. This has the added benefit of only
triggering a change to combo_filesystem once when the default item is
selected rather than twice when the currently "Extended" item is removed
and again when the default item is selected.

Found that test_PipeCapture succeeds on Fedora 31 and fails on
Fedora 32. Also test_PipeCapture binary from Fedora 31 and 32 both pass
on Fedora 31 and both fail on Fedora 32. So something outside of the
GParted code and tests is the cause.
Confirmed that this GLib change "Add a missing check to
g_utf8_get_char_validated()" [1], first released in GLib 2.63.0, made
the difference. On Fedora 32 with GLib 2.64.6, rebuilt GLib with that
change reverted and the tests passed. Anyway fix the wrapper GParted
has around g_utf8_get_char_validated() to also handle this case of
reading a NUL character.

Add a missing check to g_utf8_get_char_validated()
Closes#136 - 1.2.0: test suite is failing in test_PipeCapture
Extract call to GLib's g_utf8_get_char_validated() and the associated
workaround to also read NUL characters into a separate function to make
PipeCapture::OnReadable() a little smaller and simpler, so easier to
understand.
Add max_len > 0 clause into get_utf8_char_validated() like this:
if (uc == UTF8_PARTIAL && max_len > 0)
so that the NUL character reading workaround is only applied when
max_len specifies the maximum number of bytes to read, rather than
when -1 specifies reading a NUL termination string. This makes
get_utf8_char_validated() a complete wrapper of
g_utf8_get_char_validated() [1], even though GParted always specifies
the maximum number of bytes to read.
No longer describe the inability to read NUL characters as a bug [2]
since the GLib author's said it wasn't [3].

This previous commit [1] suggested that in future partition deletion
might be allowed even while a LUKS mapping was active in that partition.
To allow deletion of a partition while it has active content is wrong.
That is a significant reason GParted has busy detection of otherwise
unrecognised file systems [2] and recognition and busy detection of, but
otherwise not controllable support for, Linux Software RAID [3] and
ATARAID [4][5] arrays.
To automatically close the LUKS partition first would be against the
pattern of behaviour that GParted has established, of requiring explicit
deactivation of file systems, swap and volume groups before allowing
deletion. Therefore update the comment accordingly.

tune.exfat exists in earlier releases of exfatprogs so check it has the
capability by searching for "Set volume serial" in the help output
before enabling this capability.
# tune.exfat
exfatprogs version : 1.1.0
Usage: tune.exfat
-l | --print-label Print volume label
-L | --set-label=label Set volume label
-i | --print-serial Print volume serial
-L | --set-serial=value Set volume serial
-V | --version Show version
-v | --verbose Print debug
-h | --help Show help
(Note the cut and paste error reporting the set volume serial flag as
'-L' rather than actually '-S').

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/exfat-specification#3111-volumeserialnumber-fieldCloses!67 - Add support for reading exFAT usage and updating the UUID
exfatprogs 1.1.0 released 2021-02-09 [1] has gained support for
reporting file system usage [2][3] so add that capability to GParted.
It works like this:
# dump.exfat /dev/sdb1 | egrep 'Volume Length\(sectors\):|Sector Size Bits:|Sector per Cluster bits:|Free Clusters:'
Volume Length(sectors): 524288
Sector Size Bits: 9
Sector per Cluster bits: 3
Free Clusters: 23585
Unfortunately dump.exfat returns a non-zero status on success so that
can't be used to check for failure:
# dump.exfat /dev/sdb1
exfatprogs version : 1.1.0
-------------- Dump Boot sector region --------------
Volume Length(sectors): 524288
...
# echo $?
192
dump.exfat only writes errors to stderr, so use this to identify failure:
# dump.exfat /dev/sdb1 1> /dev/null
# echo $?
192
# dump.exfat /dev/zero 1> /dev/null
invalid block device size(/dev/zero)
bogus sector size bits : 0
# echo $?
234

7ce9b2336bCloses!67 - Add support for reading exFAT usage and updating the UUID
A user had exfat-utils installed and tried to use GParted to create an
exfat file system. GParted ran this command but it failed:
# mkfs.exfat -L '' '/dev/sdb1'
mkexfatfs 1.3.0
mkfs.exfat: invalid option -- 'L'
Usage: mkfs.exfat [-i volume-id] [-n label] [-p partition-first-sector] [-s sectors-per-cluster] [-V] <device>
The problem is that both exfat-utils and exfatprogs packages provide
mkfs.exfat and fsck.exfat commands but they have incompatible command
line options and GParted is programmed for exfatprogs. So far GParted
just checks the executable exists, hence the mis-identification.

Reported versions of exfatprogs commands:
$ mkfs.exfat -V 2> /dev/null
exfatprogs version : 1.0.4
$ fsck.exfat -V 2> /dev/null
exfatprogs version : 1.0.4
Fix this by only enabling exfat support also when the version string of
each command starts "exfatprogs version". Note that this extra checking
is not needed for tune.exfat because only exfatprogs provides that
executable.
Closes#137 - Creating exfat partition with a label fails with error
gparted shell wrapper always exits with a 0 status even if gpartedbin
fails. For example make gpartedbin fail with a non-zero exit status
like this:
$ (unset DISPLAY; unset XAUTHORITY; /usr/sbin/gpartedbin)
(gpartedbin:3936): Gtk-WARNING **: 16:36:06.263: cannot open display:
$ echo $?
1
However the gparted shell wrapper instead exits with successful status
0:
$ (unset DISPLAY; unset XAUTHORITY; gparted)
(gpartedbin:4282): Gtk-WARNING **: 16:39:23.514: cannot open display:
$ echo $?
0
Fix this.
This method is now only called from one location in the code so put it's
two lines of code there.
Closes#131 - GParted hangs when non-named device is hung
Now we always want to run blkid naming all paths, ensure the FS_Info
cache is explicitly loaded first. Report an error if not done so and
remove the cache loading code from running blkid without naming all
paths. Fewer code paths to consider and reason about.
