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].

Closes#136 - 1.2.0: test suite is failing in test_PipeCapture
Also with exfatprogs 1.1.0 [1], tune.exfat and exfatlabel gained the
capability to report and set the exFAT Volume Serial Number [2][3][4].
This is what blkid and therefore GParted reports as the UUID.
Report serial number:
# tune.exfat -i /dev/sdb1
exfatprogs version : 1.1.0

# echo $?
0
# blkid /dev/sdb1

# tune.exfat -I 0xf96ef190 /dev/sdb1
exfatprogs version : 1.1.0
New volume serial : 0xf96ef190

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.

On Fedora 31 with blkid from util-linux 2.34 it reports information for
sdb (partitioned drive) and sdb1 (empty partition) with only no
information for sdc (empty whole disk drive). Hence no FS_Info cache
entry and re-execution of blkid just for sdc.
On older CentOS 7 with the same disk layout blkid reports this:
# blkid -v
blkid from util-linux 2.23.2 (libblkid 2.23.0, 25-Apr-2013)
# blkid /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc

And stracing GParted shows these executions of blkid:

...
This time on CentOS 7 with blkid from util-linux 2.23.2 it reports
information for only sdb (partitioned drive), but not sdb1 (empty
partition) or sdc (empty whole disk drive). Hence no FS_info cache
entries and re-execution of blkid for both sdb1 and sdc.
GParted needs blkid identification of file system images, LVM Logical
Volumes or any other partitions named on the command line which it
wouldn't normally scan [1]. Now every name of interest is passed to
blkid, additional executions of blkid won't get any extra information
and are redundant. Therefore remove this unnecessary code.
Note that these last 2 commits remove creation of "blank" cache entries
(just block special with blank fstype and other attributes) when blkid
reports no information for a particular path. Those entry were needed
to suppress unnecessary additional execution of blkid. However now that
blkid is only executed once (excluding querying the label) this is no
longer necessary. All the getter functions return suitable blank values
when no cache entry is found.

Closes#131 - GParted hangs when non-named device is hung
A user reported that GParted would hang at "scanning all devices...",
when a fully working disk was named on the command line, but another
device on the machine was hung.
This can be replicated like this:
(on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS for it's NBD support)
1. Export and import NBD:
# truncate -s 1G /tmp/disk-1G.img
# nbd-server -C /dev/null 9000 /tmp/disk-1G.img
# nbd-client localhost 9000 /dev/nbd0
2. Hang the NBD server and therefore /dev/nbd0:
# killall -STOP nbd-server
3. Run GParted:
$ gparted /dev/sda
Tracing GParted shows that execution of blkid never returns.
# strace -f -tt -q -bexecve -eexecve ./gpartedbin 2>&1 1> /dev/null | fgrep -v ENOENT

# killall -CONT nbd-server
2. Delete NBD setup:
# nbd-client -d /dev/nbd0
# killall nbd-server
# rm /tmp/disk-1G.img
Fix this by making GParted specify the whole disk device and partition
names that it is interested in to blkid, rather than letting blkid scan
and report all block devices. Do this both when GParted determines the
devices for itself and when they are named on the command line.
Also update example blkid command output being parsed and cache value
with this change to how blkid is executed.
Closes#131 - GParted hangs when non-named device is hung
GParted already always reads /proc/partitions for whole disk device
names no matter whether it uses whole disk devices named on the command
line, from /proc/partitions or from libparted. As /proc/partitions
lists all the block devices that the kernel knows about, and therefore
all the possible ones blkid could probe, so use it to provide partition
names and device to partition mapping. See code comments for more
details about the assumptions the /proc/partition parsing code makes and
the fact that these are confirmed by examining the Linux kernel source.
This commit just adds debugging to print the existing vector of
validated devices GParted shows in the UI and the vector with all
partitions added, ready for but not yet passed to blkid.

Closes#131 - GParted hangs when non-named device is hung
Now FS_Info::load_cache() and ::load_cache_for_paths() are nearly next
to each other, merge them together to simplify the code a little. This
makes the special case to ensure that file system images named on the
command line were queried by blkid and loaded into the FS_Info cache [1]
become the normal cache loading method. Already passing all discovered
or named devices to load_cache_for_paths() is also a step on the way to
doing it for all devices and partitions of interest.
Just need to ensure that load_cache_for_paths() always loads the cache
as load_cache() did, rather than only when it hadn't already been
loaded. Otherwise GParted will only ever run blkid and load the cache
once at startup and not on each refresh.

This is not strictly necessary as members are already recognised using
blkid since this commit earlier in the sequence "Recognise ATARAID
members (#75)". However it makes sure active members are recognised
even if blkid is not available and matches how file system detection
queries the SWRaid_Info module.

This matches how the array device is displayed as the mount point for

Extend the DMRaid module member cache to save the array device name and
use as needed to display as the mount point.
Closes#75 - Errors with GPT on RAID 0 ATARAID array
Again this is to stop GParted allowing overwrite operations being
performed on an ATARAID member while the array is actively using the
member. This time for dmraid started arrays using the kernel DM (Device
Mapper) driver.
The DMRaid module already uses dmraid to report active array names:
# dmraid -sa -c
isw_ecccdhhiga_MyArray
To find active members in this array, (1) use udev to lookup the kernel
device name:
# udevadm info --query=name /dev/mapper/isw_ecccdhhiga_MyArray
dm-0
(2) list the member names exposed by the kernel DM driver through the
/sys file system.

Closes#75 - Errors with GPT on RAID 0 ATARAID array
The previous commit, made mdadm recognised IMSM and DDF type ATARAID
members get displayed as "linux-raid" (Linux Software RAID array
member). This was because of query method 1 in detect_filesystems().
Fix this now by exposing and using the fstype of the member from the
SWRaid_Info cache.
Closes#75 - Errors with GPT on RAID 0 ATARAID array
Since mdadm release 3.0 (2009-06-02) [1] it has also supported external
metadata formats IMSM (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) and DDF, previously
only managed by dmraid.
A number of distributions have switched to use mdadm and kernel MD
(Multiple Devices) driver for managing these Firmware / BIOS / ATARAID
arrays. These include: Fedora >= 14 [2], RHEL / CentOS >= 6 [3],
SLES >= 12 [4], Ubuntu >= 16.04 LTS.
Therefore additionally parse members in these ATARAID arrays included in
mdadm output, and when activated using the kernel MD driver, in file
/proc/mdstat. Add fstype to the SWRaid_Info cache records to
distinguish members apart. So far the rest of the GParted code
continues to treat all members as FS_LINUX_SWRAID. This will be
resolved in following commits.
Note that this in no way affects how GParted shows and partitions the
array device itself, even those managed by dmraid and use the GParted
DMRaid module. It only affects how GParted shows the member drives
themselves.

Closes#75 - Errors with GPT on RAID 0 ATARAID array
PATCHSET OVERVIEW
A user had a Firmware / BIOS / ATARAID array of 2 devices configured as
a RAID 0 (stripe) set. On top of that was a GPT with the OS partitions.
GParted displays the following errors on initial load and subsequent
refresh:
Libparted Error
(-) Invalid argument during seek for read on /dev/sda
[ Retry ] [ Cancel ] [ Ignore ]
Libparted Error
(-) The backup GPT table is corrupt, but the
primary appears OK, so that will be used.
[ Ok ] [ Cancel ]
This is an Intel Software RAID array which stores metadata at the end of
each member device, and so the first 128 KiB stripe of the set is stored
in the first 128 KiB of the first member device /dev/sda which includes
the GPT for the whole RAID 0 device. Hence when libparted reads member
device /dev/sda it finds a GPT describing a block device twice it's
size and in results the above errors when trying to read the backup GPT.
A more dangerous scenario occurs when using 2 devices configured in an
Intel Software RAID 1 (mirrored) set with GPT on top. On refresh
GParted display this error for both members, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb:
Libparted Warning
/!\ Not all of the space available to /dev/sda appears to be used,
you can fix the GPT to use all of the space (an extra 9554
blocks) or continue with the current setting?
[ Fix ] [ Ignore ]
Selecting [Fix] gets libparted to re-write the backup GPT to the end of
the member device, overwriting the ISW metadata! Do that twice and both
copies of the metadata are gone!
Worked example of this more dangerous mirrored set case. Initial setup:
# dmraid -s
*** Group superset isw_caffbiaegi
--> Subset
name : isw_caffbiaegi_MyMirror
size : 16768000
stride : 128
type : mirror
status : ok
subsets: 0
devs : 2
spares : 0
# dmraid -r
/dev/sda: isw, "isw_caffbiaegi", GROUP, ok, 16777214 sectors, data@ 0

# wipefs /dev/sda
offset type
---------------------------------------------
0x200 gpt [partition table]
0x1fffffc00 isw_raid_member [raid]
Run GParted and click [Fix] on /dev/sda. Now the first member has gone:
# dmraid -s
*** Group superset isw_caffbiaegi
--> *Inconsistent* Subset
name : isw_caffbiaegi_MyMirror
size : 16768000
stride : 128
type : mirror
status : inconsistent
subsets: 0
devs : 1
spares : 0
# dmraid -r
/dev/sdb: isw, "isw_caffbiaegi", GROUP, ok, 16777214 sectors, data@ 0
# wipefs /dev/sda
offset type
---------------------------------------------
0x200 gpt [partition table]
Click [Fix] on /dev/sdb. Now all members of the array are gone:
# dmraid -s
no raid disks
# dmraid -r
no raid disks
# wipefs /dev/sdb
offset type
---------------------------------------------
0x200 gpt [partition table]
So GParted must not run libparted partition table scanning on the member
devices in ATARAID arrays. Only on the array device itself.
In terms of the UI GParted must show disks which are ATARAID members as
whole disk devices with ATARAID member content and detect array busy
status to avoid allowing active members from being overwritten while in
use.
THIS COMMIT
Recognise ATARAID member devices and display in GParted as whole device
"ataraid" file systems. Because they are recognised as whole device
content ("ataraid" file systems) this alone stops GParted running the
libparted partition table scanning and avoids the above errors.

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.
Closes!49 - Add file system interface tests
To match the renaming performed as part of Bug 741424 "Add support for
GPT partition names". In particular this is most closely similar to:

Rename enum to OPERATION_LABEL_FILESYSTEM (#741424)
After the previous commit the lp_device structure pointer parameter is
only used to provide sector_size. Just pass that instead.

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:
# time fsck.fat -n -v /dev/sdb2 | \

512 bytes per logical sector
4096 bytes per cluster
8388608 sectors total
/dev/sdb2: 973008 files, 978846/1046527 clusters
real 0m11.552s

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.

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.
