GParted_Core::FILESYSTEMS and ::FILESYSTEM_MAP and the methods that
query and manipulate them are self-contained. Therefore move them into
a separate SupportedFileSystems module.
Also having a single class maintaining all FileSystem interface objects
will make testing all the file system types much easier as there will be
no need to duplicate this functionality in the test.

The last distribution to include the separate 'udevinfo' command was
RHEL / CentOS 5 with udev 095. All supported distributions have much
newer versions of udev and instead have the 'udevadm' command.
A user reported that GParted was slow to refresh on FAT32 file systems:
"can take very long, up to several minutes; can be reproduced by running
dosfsck manually". This is because the file system was large and almost
full, and GParted performs a file system check just to to report the
file system usage.
Created a 4 GiB FAT32 file system and almost filled it with 4 KiB files,
just over 970,000 files.

Testing performance of the current fsck.fat:

512 bytes per logical sector
4096 bytes per cluster
8388608 sectors total
/dev/sdb2: 973008 files, 978846/1046527 clusters
real 0m11.552s
user 0m2.183s
sys 0m7.547s
Free sectors in the file system according to fsck.fat:
(1046527 - 978846) * 4096 / 512 = 541448 sectors
Repeating this test while also using 'blktrace /dev/sdb2' and Ctrl-C
around the test in a separate terminal, reports these numbers of I/Os
being performed:
Read requests Read bytes
15,563 165 MiB
Prior to this commit [1] from 0.0.9, GParted used libparted's
ped_file_system_get_resize_constraint() to report the minimum size to
which a FAT* file system can be resized. Use this test program [2] to
performance test this method:
# time ./fscons /dev/sdb2
dev=/dev/sdb2
sector_size=512
min_size=7909522
max_size=8388608
real 0m2.673s
user 0m0.070s
sys 0m1.834s
Free sectors in the file system according to libparted
ped_file_system_get_resize_constraint():
8388608 - 7909522 = 479086 sectors
blktrace reports these numbers of I/Os being performed:
Read requests Read bytes
7,821 71 MiB
So using libparted resize constraint is a bit faster but is still
reading too much data and is really too slow. Also when testing GParted
using this libparted method against a corrupted FAT32 file system, on
every refresh, one popup dialog is displayed for each error libparted
detects with the file system, each of which needs acknowledgement.
Example popup:
Libparted Error
\DIRNAME\FILENAME.EXT is 107724k, but is has 1920
clusters (122880k).
[ Cancel ][ Ignore ]
There could be a huge number of such errors in a corrupted file system.
Not really suitable for use by GParted.
Test the performance of mtools' minfo command to report the file system
figures:
# time minfo -i /dev/sdb2 :: | \
> egrep 'sector size:|cluster size:|small size:|big size:|free clusters='
sector size: 512 bytes
cluster size: 8 sectors
small size: 0 sectors
big size: 8388608 sectors
free clusters=67681
real 0m0.013s
user 0m0.004s
sys 0m0.019s
Free sectors in the file system according to minfo:
67681 * 8 = 541448 sectors
blktrace reports these numbers of I/Os being performed by minfo:
Read requests Read bytes
1 16 KiB
This matches with minfo just reading information from the BPB (BIOS
Parameter Block) [3] from sector 0 and the FS Information Sector [4]
usually in sector 1. Note that the free cluster figure reported by
minfo comes from the FS Information Sector because it only reports it
for FAT32 file systems, not for FAT16 file systems. Scanning the File
Allocation Table (FAT) [5] to count free clusters is exactly what mdir,
without the '-f' (fast) flag, does. Test the performance of mdir:
# export MTOOLS_SKIP_CHECK=1
# time mdir -i /dev/sdb2 ::/ | fgrep 'bytes free'
277 221 376 bytes free
real 0m0.023s
user 0m0.011s
sys 0m0.023s
Free sectors in the file system according to mdir:
277221376 / 512 = 541448 sectors
blktrace reports these number of I/Os being performed by mdir:
Read requests Read bytes
5 448 KiB
So minfo and mdir together provide the needed information and are 2 to 3
orders of magnitude faster because they only read the needed BPB and FAT
data from the drive. Use these together to read the file system usage.

Bug 569921 - dosfsck -n delays device scan
Move snap_to_*() method calls from the point when all operations are
added to the list, to earlier when Resize/Move, Paste (into new) and
Create New dialogs are composing the new partition objects. In
particular for the Resize/Move operation, to just before updating the
file system usage.
This change finally resolves this bug.
Because of the dialog call chains into Dialog_Base_Partition,
snap_to_alignment() must be added into:
* Dialog_Base_Partition::prepare_new_partition() for the Resize/Move and
Paste (into new) dialogs; and
* Dialog_Partition_New::Get_New_Partition() for the Create New dialog.
Closes#48 - Error when moving locked LUKS-encrypted partition
The current device has to be passed to the dialog constructors and then
on to the Dialog_Base_Constructor. Note that the Dialog_Partition_New
constructor is already passed the current device, however it still needs
to pass it on to Dialog_Base_Constructor.
This is ready so that snap_to_*() methods can access the current device
when they are called from within these dialogs.

None of the snap_to_*() methods report any errors so remove the unused

Closes#48 - Error when moving locked LUKS-encrypted partition
PATCHSET OVERVIEW
A user had 2 adjacent partitions which were aligned to multiples of
33553920 bytes (32 MiB - 512 bytes), not MiB or cylinders. As far as
GParted is concerned this is not aligned. The second partition
contained closed LUKS encrypted data. Recreate this setup with:
# truncate -s 200G /tmp/disk.img
# losetup -f --show /tmp/disk.img
/dev/loop0
# sfdisk -u S /dev/loop0 << EOF
65535 2162655 83
2228190 78904140 83
EOF
# partprobe /dev/loop0
# echo -n badpassword | cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/loop0p2 -
When trying to move the second LUKS encrypted partition to the right by
any amount, with the default MiB alignment, GParted displays this error
dialog and fails to even queue the operation:
Could not add this operation to the list
A partition with used sectors (78907392) greater than its
length (78905344) is not valid
[ OK ]
Overview of the steps involved:
1. The Resize/Move dialog composed a new partition to start a whole
multiple of MiB after the end of the previous non-aligned partition.
The new partition also had it's size increased to a whole multiple of
MiB, to 78907392 sectors (38529 MiB) which was 1.59 MiB larger than
before. Neither the start or end of the new partition are aligned at
this point.
2. Win_GParted::activate_resize() applied the change back to the closed
LUKS partition object, additionally making the used sectors equal to
the partition size.
(To match the fact that when opened the LUKS mapping it will
automatically fill the new larger partition size).
3. GParted_Core::snap_to_mebibyte() then aligned the partition start and
end to whole MiB boundaries, reducing the partition size in the
process to 78905344 (38528 MiB).
4. GParted_Core::snap_to_alignment() reported the error saying that it
couldn't add the operation to the list because it was invalid to have
the file system used sectors larger than the partition size.
Fix this by having the snap to alignment adjustments applied before the
dialogs update any associated file system usage. Specifically the
Resize/Move, Paste (into new) and Create New dialogs as these are the
only ones which either create or modify partition boundaries.
Validation done by snap_to_alignment() will continue to occur at the
current point when the operation is added to the list.
THIS COMMIT
snap_to_alignment() is doing two different jobs, it is (1) optionally
adjusting the new partition boundaries for MiB or Cylinder alignment;
and (2) checking that the partition boundaries and file system usage are
valid.
Split those into two different functions (1) snap_to_alignment() and
(2) valid_partition(). For now valid_partition() still calls
snap_to_alignment() so there is no functional change with this commit.
Closes#48 - Error when moving locked LUKS-encrypted partition
With the same case as from the previous commit, the very long "Mounted
on ..." text is now wrapped, but the text may not be left justified.
Slowly adjust the dialog width and see how the text wrapping is updated
to fit the size adjustment but the text is centred rather than left
justified.
This is because setting the halign property to Gtk::ALIGN_START does not
guarantee left alignment of text for wrapped or ellipsized Gtk::Labels.
Use the xalign property instead.
To set the xalign property there is a method in the GtkMisc (Gtk::Misc)
base class:
gtk_misc_set_alignment (Gtk::Misc::set_alignment)
However, GtkMisc (Gtk::Misc) was deprecated in Gtk 3.14 (Gtkmm 3.14)
and in Gtk 3.16 (gtkmm 3.16) set_alignment() was replaced with the
introduction of two new methods:
gtk_label_set_xalign (Gtk::Label::set_xalign)
gtk_label_set_yalign (Gtk::Label::set_yalign)
Add a check for Gtkmm method Gtk::Label::set_xalign() in configure.ac
and use it when available.

The Gdk::RGBA data type was introduced to replace Gdk::Color in

With this commit we make the change to Gdk::RGBA data type which is the
modern replacement to Gdk::Color. Gdk::RGBA can be used almost as a
drop in replacement because it keeps most of the Gdk::Color interface.

Mostly add, but also remove, #includes so both DialogFeatures.h and .cc
include exactly the header files each needs to get the definitions they
use.
Header file #include guards are there to specifically enable this.
To better reflect that it is loading the supported actions for one file
system into the treeview, just like it's parent load_filesystems() is
initiating the loading for all the file systems.
Open the File System Support dialog, either add or remove some file
system specific commands used by GParted and press the
[Rescan For Supported Actions] button. The supported actions don't
change. However after just closing and reopening the dialog, the
supported actions do reflect the added or removed file system specific
commands.

Display "other" in the File System Support dialog (!13)
The problem is that commit made a subset copy of the
GParted_Core::FILESYSTEMS vector, obtained from get_filesystems(), so
when the rescan ran and the FILESYSTEMS vector was updated with new
supported actions, the dialog still displayed the original subset copy,
so didn't reflect the changed supported actions.
Fix by passing a reference to the GParted_Core::FILESYSTEMS vector,
obtained from get_filesystems(), and perform the necessary filtering
inside the dialog, like before the above faulty commit. Additionally
finding and adding "other" file system to the end of the list.

Having a member variable named 't' which is used to share state in a
Dialog_Progress object between on_signal_show() and on_cancel() methods
is horrible. Rename to something more meaningful.
Also initialise m_curr_op in the constructor's initialisation list,
rather than later when first used in on_signal_show(). Not strictly
required, but avoids this POD (Plain Old Data) member variable being
undefined in the Dialog_Progress object between construction and when
on_signal_show() previously assigned to it for the first time and
started using it.

Some icon themes only provide large icons for stock items. This can
cause problems like overly large icons appearing in the GParted UI.
Found on Kubuntu 16.04 LTS with default breeze icon theme.
Be compatible with these icon themes by forcing scaling of stock icons
to the requested size.
Icons are used either by Gtk::Image widgets, or Gtk::CellRendererPixbuf
objects for comboboxes/treeviews. For Gtk::Image widgets we add
Utils::mk_image() that constructs Gtk::Image widgets and then sets the
pixel-size property. For Gtk::CellRendererPixbuf we add
Utils::mk_pixbuf() that first loads a Gdk::Pixbuf and then scales if
needed.

It is not creating a dialog (a pop-up window managed by GParted code
itself). It is launching independent yelp program to display the help,
so remove the "_dialog" from the name to avoid any possible confusion.
In Gtk3 the progress bar height is fixed and defined by the CSS theme in
use. Changing the widget allocation size does nothing, it is always
rendered the same way.
In many themes, including Adwaita, the progressbar is very, very thin.
Provide custom CSS to specify a height of 8 pixels.
The CSS source string has to be differentiated for Gtk pre and post
3.20, because Gtk 3.20 introduced some breaking changes in the way CSS
is handled.

Starting from Gtkmm3 Gdk::Cursor objects cannot be constructed directly,
but instead you have to get a smart pointer to an instance by calling
the static member function Gdk::Cursor::create().

Create an active Linux Software RAID member which is larger than /dev
virtual file system and GParted will report the usage figure of the /dev
virtual file system for the SWRAID member.
# df -h /dev
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs 732M 0 732M 0% /dev
# sgdisk -n 1:1M:+1G /dev/sdb
# mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md1 --level=linear --raid-devices=1 --force /dev/sdb1
mdadm: Defaulting to version 1.2 metadata
mdadm: array /dev/md1 started.
GParted reports the usage of /dev/sdb1 as:
Partition Mount Point Size Used Unused Unallocated
/dev/sdb1 /dev/md1 1.00GiB 0.00B 731.04MiB 292.96MiB
However GParted should have reported the usage as "---" for unknown
because it isn't coded to query the size of the SWRAID member within a
partition.
The fault has been bisected to this commit:
Extend un/mounting and usage reporting to unsupported file systems (!13)
95903efb1f
What happens for busy Linux Software RAID array members:
* GParted_Core::is_busy()
has custom code to identify busy members.
* GParted_Core::set_mountpoints()
has custom code to add the array device name as the "mount point" of
the member.
* GParted_Core::set_used_sectors()
falls into the else not a supported file system (because SWRAID
doesn't have a derived FileSystem implementation class).
* GParted_Core::mounted_set_used_sectors()
is called to get the file system usage of mounted, but unsupported
file systems, such as UFS and any others.
* Utils::get_mounted_filesystem_usage()
is called which queries the kernel using statvfs() and gets the file
system usage of the /dev virtual file system because the array
device name will always start /dev.
Fix by ensuring that GParted only asks the kernel for the usage of paths
which it knows are mount points of mounted file systems. (As read from
/proc/mounts and cached in the Mount_Info module). Also rename the
method, by inserting "_fs", to mounted_fs_set_used_sectors() to remind
us that it is for mounted *file systems* only.
Closes#27 - GParted may report incorrect usage for SWRAID partitions
instead of unknown

C++ initialises static member variables before main() is called.
Therefore the static members of:
struct Slots
{
static Gtk::TreeModelColumn<Glib::ustring> text;
static Gtk::TreeModelColumn<bool> sensitive;
private:
static Gtk::TreeModel::ColumnRecord record_;
};
are constructed before Gtk::Main() is called in main(). However the
Gtkmm documentation specifically says that they must be constructed
afterwards [1].
Resolve this by using the Construct On First Use Idiom [2] to delay
initialisation until the slots are first used. Normally this idiom uses
static local objects, however it is being applied to class static
objects here because the objects are accessed in many methods. The
downside of this approach is that the objects are never destructed,
which memory analysers like Valgrind could see as a memory leak, but
that is actually deliberate. That leak can be removed once we can use
C++11 and std::unique_ptr.

Resizing a file system mounted read-only fails. Example:
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb1

* grow partition from 512.00 MiB to 1.00 GiB (SUCCESS)

Issue #10 - Gparted fails to resize btrfs partition that is mounted
read-only
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/issues/10
Fix by preventing online resizing of *all* file systems mounted
read-only, including reiserfs. Instead of displaying the resize dialog
in this case, display an information dialog explaining why the partition
can't be resized. This is similar to what happens when attempting to
create a new partition on a disk without a partition table. The new
dialog looks like:
(!) Unable to resize read-only file system /dev/sdb1
The file system can not be resized while it is mounted read-only.
Either unmount the file system or remount it read-write.

The function was using std::map::count() [1] to test if the file system
entry existed in the map before looking up the value using
std::map::operator[] to avoid having operator[] inserting elements which
don't exist [2].
Rewrite using std::map::find() [3] so that map is only searched once,
and so that it is more obvious what is happening without having to know
the subtleties of std::map::count() and ::operator[].

"Searches the container for elements with a key equivalent to k and

Copying and moving is now implemented for file systems in the basic
supported category. Also mounting and unmounting of unsupported file
system and reporting their usage while mounted has been added. This is
all the support that GParted has ever implemented for UFS. Therefore
re-assign UFS as a basic supported file system as it looses no
functionality.
Closes!13 - Support copying and moving of unsupported partition content
Want a single term under which the supported actions for all basic
supported file systems are displayed in the File System Support dialog.
"Unknown" isn't the correct adjective because the group includes
unknown, but also includes: BitLocker, GRUB2 core image, ISO9660, Linux
SWRaid, Linux Suspend, REFS and ZFS. Add "other" file system type just
for displaying in the dialog.
Closes!13 - Support copying and moving of unsupported partition content
Introduce a third category of basic file system support to go along with
the existing full and none. Use the file system's entry in
FILESYSTEM_MAP to determine the level of support. See comment in
GParted_Core::init_filesystems() for details.
Add and remove FILESYSTEM_MAP NULL pointer entries as required, so that
only the file system types intended to have basic support have such
entries.
Closes!13 - Support copying and moving of unsupported partition content
PATCHSET OVERVIEW:
Forum user wanted to be able to move a partition with unknown content:
Topic: Can't move/rezise partition on android device (unknown format)
http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=17742
While GParted isn't going to be able to run any sort of file system
check on the unknown content there isn't any reason why such a partition
can't be copied or moved so long as the partition stays the same size.
GParted can just use it's existing internal block copy routine it uses
for copying and moving most partition content. This is no different to
a few of the already supported file system types which don't have a
check-repair tool: exfat, f2fs, nilfs2, udf, ufs.
This patchset introduces a third category called basic file system
support to go along with the existing full and unsupported categories.
Basic supported file systems will just use GParted's inbuilt
capabilities to perform actions so they won't need a derived FileSystem
implementation class. Unknown file systems along with all other
recognised, but otherwise unsupported, file systems will be assigned to
this new basic supported category.
THIS PATCH:
FS_UNKNOWN is used when GParted is unable to identify the contents of a
partition. FS_UNKNOWN is also used to generate a file system support
set with no supported actions, in the FileSystem::FS::FS() constructor
and in GParted_Core::get_fs().
As support for operations on partitions with unknown content is being
added, the second usage will be confusing or even wrong.
FS( FS_UNKNOWN ) constructs the no supported actions set, yet GParted
will support some actions for the FS_UNKNOWN file system type.
Therefore add FS_UNSUPPORTED for the second usage.
Closes!13 - Support copying and moving of unsupported partition content

The CUSTOM_TEXT enumeration is exclusively used as the type of one of
the parameters to the functions get_generic_text() and get_custom_text()
in the FileSystem class and derived classes. The definition of the
enumeration therefore belongs in FileSystem.h. Move it.
After a failed LUKS unlock attempt the password entry dialog shows the
error "Failed to open LUKS encryption". Improve the user experience by
clearing that error message at the start of the next attempt to avoid
contradictory information with the main windows status of "Opening
encryption on $PARTITION" whilst performing the next unlock attempt.
Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings
The Change_UUID_Warning vectors were fat16 and ntfs class member
variables, but are only ever accessed in the get_custom_text() method.
Make them local variables in get_custom_text() instead. Static so that
references to them can be returned.
Same case as for FileSystem Label dialog before; the Partition Name
dialog only has a single line of just 2 widgets. Therefore switch to a
simpler horizontal box widget to lay them out.
The FileSystem Label dialog only has a single line of just 2 widgets; a

Replace the insert() method (which reports an error when inserting a
password with a key which already exists) with the store() method which
replaces or inserts the password depending on whether the key already
exists or not respectively. There is also an optimisation that nothing
is changed if the password to be replaced is the same as the one already
stored. The code in Win_GParted::open_encrypted_partition() is
simplified now it doesn't have to implement this pattern of behaviour
itself.

Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings
The underlying C coded Gtk Entry widget is careful to zero memory after
use, allowing the widget to be safely used for password entry [1].
However the C++ method Gtk::Entry::get_text() just takes the underlying
C string from the Gtk Entry widget and copies it when constructing a
Glib::ustring for the return value [2].
So directly use the Gtk/C API to get the C string instead.
[1] https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/gtk/gtkentrybuffer.c?h=3.22.28#n92
See function trash_area() which zeros memory and its use in
gtk_entry_buffer_normal_insert_text(),
gtk_entry_buffer_normal_delete_text() and
gtk_entry_buffer_finalize().

_WRAP_METHOD(Glib::ustring METHOD const, FUNC) is processed to:

Glib::ustring convert_const_gchar_ptr_to_ustring(const char* str)
{
return (str) ? Glib::ustring(str) : Glib::ustring();
}
So Gtk::Entry::get_text() calls Glib::ustring() constructor which
copies the C string to create the Glib::ustring object returned.
Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings
To keep password dialog open, just keep running it in a loop performing
LUKS mapping unlock attempts with the entered passphrase until it
succeeds or the dialog is cancelled or closed. This is the same model
that is already used for the File Support System dialog and how the
[Rescan For Supported Actions] button is implemented.
Also any error from attempting to open the LUKS mapping is no longer
displayed in a separate error dialog or at all. Will add some sort of
error reporting into the password entry dialog in a following commit.
Creates new method Win_GParted::open_encrypted_partition() which handles
the non UI parts of attempting to open an encrypted partition. Running
"cryptsetup luksOpen" and updating the stored passphrase as needed.
Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings
Initial addition of a password entry dialog. Looks like:
+------------------------------------------------+
| LUKS Passphrase /dev/sdb1 |
+------------------------------------------------+
| Enter LUKS passphrase to open /dev/sdb1 |
| Passphrase: [ ] |
| |
| [ Cancel ] [ Unlock ] |
+------------------------------------------------+
A standard Gtk Dialog is used to accept the password once, with any
errors displayed in a separate error dialog afterwards. This is poor UI
design. A password dialog should remain open for all authentication
attempts and only close when successful or the dialog is cancelled or
closed. This UI design issue will be improved in following commits.
Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings
Add new item to the partition menu to allow the user to open and close
the LUKS mapping. However for now the menu item is always disabled and
there is no implementation behind it to actually open or close the LUKS
mapping. Fragment of the partition menu is now:
...
Format to >
-----------------
Open Encryption <- New menu item
Mount
-----------------
Name Partition
...
Has to be two separate menu items to clearly represent to the user that
LUKS mappings and file system mounting are two separate busy states.
And also in the case of an open but unmounted file system to offer both
actions; close encryption and mount file system.
The text of the menu item automatically changes similarly to how it does
for the Mount/Unmount, Swapon/Swapoff, Activate/Deactivate item
depending on the state of the LUKS mapping. For open LUKS mappings it
will show "Close Encryption" and for all other cases (closed LUKS
mapping or partition is not encrypted) "Open Encryption". Again similar
to how the default of "Mount" is shown for unallocated and unknown
partitions.

Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings
As discussed in "LUKS password handling, threats and preventative
measures" [1] GParted must be able to pass LUKS passphrases to
cryptsetup via standard input to avoid having to write passwords to the
file system and deal with additional security requirements. Therefore
add a way to write input into created child processes. For small
amounts of input, writing up to the pipe buffer capacity won't block
[2]. This is 64K on versions of Linux in any currently supported
distributions.
[1] LUKS password handling, threats and preventative measures
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627701#c56
GParted must not become a password manage so it must never save
LUKS passwords to disk across separate invocations of GParted.
...
GParted should avoid writing a temporary file containing the LUKS
password as it introduces extra complexity with trying to safely
handle and erase file content. Instead GParted must
programmatically pass the LUKS password via standard input to the
cryptsetup command.
[2] pipe(7) manual page:
Pipe capacity
A pipe has a limited capacity. If the pipe is full, then a
write(2) will block or fail, depending on whether the O_NONBLOCK
flag is set (see below). ...
In Linux versions before 2.6.11, the capacity of a pipe was the
same as the system page size (e.g., 4096 bytes on i386). Since
Linux 2.6.11, the pipe capacity is 65536 bytes.
Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings
Use private access into the PasswordRAMStore class to directly obtain
the address of the locked memory, rather than inferring it from the
address of the first stored password. This simplifies
PasswordRAMStoreTest::SetUpTestCase() and avoids encoding most of the
implementation knowledge that the first password will be stored at the
start of the protected memory.

Test that all passwords are zeroed by PasswordRAMStore::erase_all(), the
same method as used in the PasswordRAMStore destructor.
Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings
Application level requirements for secure password management were set
out in "LUKS password handling, threats and preventative measures" [1].
The requirements are:
1) Passwords are stored in RAM and are not allowed to be paged to swap.
(However hibernating with GParted still running will write all of RAM
to swap).
2) Passwords are wiped from RAM when no longer needed. When each
password is no longer needed and when GParted closes.
3) Passwords are referenced by unique key. Recommend using LUKS UUIDs
as the unique key.
(Each LUKS password should only ever need to be entered once for each
execution of GParted. Therefore the passwords can't be stored in any
of the existing data structures such as Partitions or LUKS_Info cache
because all of these are cleared and reloaded on each device
refresh).
There seems to be two possible implementation methods: use an existing
library to provide secure memory handling, or write our own.
Libgcrypt [2] and libsodium [3] cryptographic libraries both provide
secure memory handling. (Secure memory is quite simple really, some
virtual memory locked into RAM which is zeroed when no longer needed).
Linking to an encryption library just to provide secure memory seems
like using a sledge hammer to crack a nut. Also because of requirement
(3) above a module is needed to "own" the pointers to the passwords in
the secure memory. Managing the secure memory ourselves is probably no
more code that that needed to interface to libgcrypt. Therefore handle
the secure memory ourselves.
So far the module is only compiled. It is not used anywhere in GParted.

Mkfs_cmd member variable is being kept as a convenience so that it is

Bug 794253 - Desupport RHEL / CentOS 5 and raise minimum required

Struct FS and struct FS_Limits are strongly related to the FileSystem
class, both being return values from members and associated with storing
file system attributes. Move their definitions from Utils.h into
FileSystem.h.
There are too many different types of things named "filesystem" in the
GParted code with the potential to cause confusion. Namely:
std::vector<FS> FILESYSTEMS
Vector of file system capabilities.
class FileSystem Base class interfacing to file system
specific executables for querying and
modification.
enum FILESYSTEM Symbolic constants representing each file
system type.
Many recent written or re-written functions already used a variable
named fstype. Rename enum FILESYSTEM to enum FSType to clearly
distinguish it from the other things with very similar names. Only
changing the name of the enumeration, not the name of variables of that
type too because that is a lot more lines of code and those can be
changed when the relevant code is re-written.
There are multiple repetitions of the same code getting a FileSystem
object, checking for NULL and then calling the file system specific
get_filesystem_limits(). Extract that into a common function.
GParted_Core::get_filesystem_limits() can't use the file system from the
passed Partition object because that is the current file system which
will be different from the intended file system for new and format
operations. So would look up the wrong derived FileSystem specific
object and call the wrong get_filesystem_limits(). Hence still needing
fstype as a separate parameter to pass the intended file system.

size. Alternatively when creating a new UDF file system use the
device's sector size as the multiplier instead.
Bug 787204 - Minimum and maximum size of the UDF partition/disk
As described in the previous commit, this is so that file system
specific implementations can dynamically determine size limits based on
Partition object attributes: such as the device sector size and the file
system block size. (Assuming set_used_sectors() sets
partition.fs_block_size for the type of file system in question).
Bug 787204 - Minimum and maximum size of the UDF partition/disk
All the code has been switched to call get_filesystem_limits() and use
struct FS_Limits. Remove struct FS members .MIN & .MAX.
Bug 787204 - Minimum and maximum size of the UDF partition/disk
Change Dialog_Partition_New to use a fs_limits rather than struct FS
and .MIN and .MAX. No passing of struct FS_Limits required. Just use
the FILESYSTEMS vector of struct FS to provide the file system type and
look up it's size limits each time the selection changes.
Bug 787204 - Minimum and maximum size of the UDF partition/disk
Refactor Win_GParted::activate_resize() to query the file system size
limits using the new get_filesystem_limits() method and pass those
limits into the dialog class as struct FS_Limits.
