Bug 774818 - Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a
passphrase
When composing, describing and implementing the operation just need the
code to query and set the Partition object directly containing the file
system, instead of the enclosing encryption mapping to make it work.
The operation details for setting a new UUID on an encrypted ext4 file
system become:
Set a new random UUID on [Encrypted] ext4 file system on /dev/sdb4
+ calibrate /dev/sdb4
+ Set UUID on /dev/mapper/sdb4_crypt to a new, random value
+ tune2fs -U random /dev/mapper/sdb4_crypt
tune2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Also note the now documented rule in apply_operation_to_disk() which
says each operation must leave the status of the encryption mapping and
file system as it found it.
Bug 774818 - Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a
passphrase
Provide and use a single interface for getting the file system string
for display, regardless of whether the partition is encrypted or the
encryption mapping is active or not.
Example return values for get_filesystem_string() for different types
and states of Partition objects:
1) Plain ext4 file system: -> "ext4"
2) Closed encrypted: -> "[Encrypted]"
3) Open encrypted ext4 file system: -> "[Encrypted] ext4"
This simplifies the code in TreeView_Detail::create_row() which sets the
file system type displayed in the main window. The same method will
then also be used when setting the operation description as each
operation is updated to handle encrypted file systems.
Bug 774818 - Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a
passphrase
The previous commit changed how the code behind the main window
retrieved the file system label for display. This is the relevant
changes in TreeView_Detail::create_row():
+ const Partition & filesystem_ptn = partition.get_filesystem_partition();
...
- Glib::ustring temp_filesystem_label = partition.get_filesystem_label();
+ Glib::ustring temp_filesystem_label = filesystem_ptn.get_filesystem_label();
treerow[treeview_detail_columns.label] = temp_filesystem_label;
In the case of an encrypted file system get_filesystem_label() is now
called on the Partition object directly rather than on the outer
Partition object containing the LUKS encryption.
The code behind the Information dialog always obtained and used the
Partition object directly containing the file system to call
get_filesystem_label() since read-only LUKS support was added.
Therefore the virtualised PartitionLUKS::get_filesystem_label() is no
longer needed, so remove it.
Bug 774818 - Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a
passphrase
There are multiple cases of code wanting to work with the Partition
object directly containing the file system, regardless of whether it is
within a PartitionLUKS object or not. The code had to do something
similar to this to access it:
const Partition * filesystem_ptn = &partition;
if ( partition.filesystem == FS_LUKS && partition.busy )
filesystem_ptn = &dynamic_cast<const PartitionLUKS *>( &partition )->get_encrypted();
...
// Access Partition object directly containing the file system
filesystem_ptn-> ...
Implement and use virtual accessor get_filesystem_partition() which
allows the code to be simplified like this:
const Partition & filesystem_ptn = partition.get_filesystem_partition();
...
// Access Partition object directly containing the file system
filesystem_ptn. ...
Bug 774818 - Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a

More recent versions of blkid don't report an ISO9660 file system on the
whole disk device if partitions can be reports for embedded partitions.
However when querying the whole disk device directly then the expected
ISO9660 file system is reported. For example on CentOS 7 with the
previous ISO images:
# wget http://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git/plain/tests/ts/isosize/sample.iso.gz
# dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M of=/dev/sdc
# zcat sample.iso.gz | dd of=/dev/sdc
# blkid -v
blkid from util-linux 2.23.2 (libblkid 2.23.0, 25-Apr-2013)
# blkid | fgrep /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc1: UUID="2013-01-04-22-05-45-00" LABEL="ARCH_201301" TYPE="iso9660" PTTYPE="dos"
# blkid /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc: UUID="2013-01-04-22-05-45-00" LABEL="ARCH_201301" TYPE="iso9660" PTTYPE="dos"
# wget http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.6.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-8.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso
# dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M of=/dev/sdc
# dd if=debian-8.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso bs=1M of=/dev/sdc
# blkid | fgrep /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc1: UUID="2016-09-17-14-23-48-00" LABEL="Debian 8.6.0 amd64 1" TYPE="iso9660" PTTYPE="dos"
/dev/sdc2: SEC_TYPE="msdos" UUID="17F3-1162" TYPE="vfat"
# blkid /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc: UUID="2016-09-17-14-23-48-00" LABEL="Debian 8.6.0 amd64 1" TYPE="iso9660" PTTYPE="dos"
This behavioural difference with blkid is probably as a result of newer
versions of udev informing the kernel of the partitions embedded within
the ISO9660 image, and not directly as a result of a change in blkid
itself. Older distributions don't have partition entries for the above
ISO images, but CentOS 7 (with udev 219) and later distributions do have
partition entries:
# fgrep sdc /proc/partitions
8 16 8388608 sdc
8 17 252928 sdc1
8 18 416 sdc2
Fix by ensuring that the blkid FS_Info cache has entries for whole disk
devices, even if each entry has all empty attributes because there is a
partition table and not a recognised file system.
Calling blkid on whole disk devices containing partition tables produces
output like this, with newer versions of blkid:
# blkid /dev/sda
/dev/sda: PTTYPE="dos"
# blkid /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb: PTTYPE="gpt"
This will be loaded into the FS_Info cache as a blank entry for the
device by run_blkid_load_cache(). There will be a path name but all the
other attributes will be blank because there are no TYPE, SEC_TYPE, UUID
or LABEL name value pairs. With older versions of blkid no output is
produced at all. In that case load_fs_info_cache_extra_for_path() will
create the same blank entry with just the path name defined.

FileSystem::resize() (and derived) is only ever called from a single
location and always with the fill_partition argument supplied [1].
Therefore providing a default for the argument is unnecessary. So
remove it.
[1] Since these two commits from 2006-06-17, before GParted 0.3.0, which
added resize_filesystem() and maximize_filesystem() methods to wrap
calls to p_filesystem->resize() into a single location:
08245cd08c
cleanups in the core and the fs'es (resize)
2d7fb5700b
more cleanups in the core and the fs'es (these changelogs are getting
It made the code look a little messy, is easily resolved in the build
system and made the dependencies more complicated than needed. Each
GParted header was tracked via multiple different names (different
numbers of "../include/" prefixes). For example just looking at how
DialogFeatures.o depends on Utils.h:
$ cd src
$ make DialogFeatures.o
$ egrep ' [^ ]*Utils.h' .deps/DialogFeatures.Po
../include/DialogFeatures.h ../include/../include/Utils.h \
../include/../include/../include/../include/../include/../include/Utils.h \
../include/../include/../include/Utils.h \
After removing "../include/" from the GParted header #includes, just
need to add "-I../include" to the compile command via the AM_CPPFLAGS in
src/Makefile.am. Now the dependencies on GParted header files are
tracked under a single name (with a single "../include/" prefix). Now
DialogFeatures.o only depends on a single name to Utils.h:
$ make DialogFeatures.o
$ egrep ' [^ ]*Utils.h' .deps/DialogFeatures.Po
../include/DialogFeatures.h ../include/Utils.h ../include/i18n.h \
Linux-swap is recreated as part of copy, resize and move operations and
the code was special cased to implement that by calling the linux-swap
specific resize method. However the displayed text always said "growing
file system" and then proceeded to recreate linux swap. Example
operation:
Copy /dev/sdb1 to /dev/sdb2
...
+ copy file system from /dev/sdb1 to /dev/sdb2
Partition copy action skipped because linux-swap file system does not contain data
+ grow file system to fill the partition
+ create new linux-swap file system
+ mkswap -L"" -U "77d939ef-54d6-427a-a2bf-a053da7eed4c" /dev/sdb2
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 262140 KiB
LABEL=, UUID=77d939ef-54d6-427a-a2bf-a053da7eed4c
Fix by writing recreate_linux_swap_filesystem() method with better
messaging and use everywhere maximise_filesystem() was previously used
to recreate linux-swap. Also as this is a create step, erase the
partition first to prevent the possibility of any other file system
signatures being found afterwards. Now the operation steps are more
reflective of what is actually being performed.
Copy /dev/sdb1 to /dev/sdb2
...
+ copy file system from /dev/sdb1 to /dev/sdb2
Partition copy action skipped because linux-swap file system does not contain data
+ clear old file system signatures in /dev/sdb2
+ create new linux-swap file system
+ mkswap -L"" -U "77d939ef-54d6-427a-a2bf-a053da7eed4c" /dev/sdb2

Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
resize_filesystem() was meeting two different needs:
1) when called with fill_partition = false it generated operation
details;
2) when called from maximize_filesystem() with fill_partition = true it
skipped generating any operation details;
then ran the switch statement to select the resize implementation. So
extract the common switch statement into new method
resize_filesystem_implement().
Then observe that the only time resize_filesystem() was called to grow
the file system was when re-creating linux-swap. Therefore change that
call to use maximize_filesystem() and rename to shrink_filesystem() and
modify the operation detail messages to match.
Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
Make the methods called below apply_operation_to_disk() follow a
standard naming convention:
* Contains "_partition"
Uses libparted to query or change the partition in the disk label
(partition table).
E.g.:
calibrate_partition()
create_partition()
delete_partition()
name_partition()
resize_move_partition()
set_partition_type()
* Contains "_filesystem"
Manipulates the file system within the partition, mostly using the
FileSystem and derived class methods.
E.g.:
create_filesystem()
remove_filesystem()
label_filesystem()
copy_filesystem()
erase_filesystem_signatures()
check_repair_filesystem()
resize_filesystem()
maximize_filesystem()
* Other
Compound method calling multiple partition and file system related
apply methods.
E.g.:
create()
format()
copy()
resize_move()
resize()
move()
Rename:
Delete() -> delete_partition()
change_uuid() -> change_filesystem_uuid()
Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
Until now an encryption mapping has been modelled as a Partition object
similar to a partition like this:
.encrypted.device_path = "/dev/sdb1"
.encrypted.path = "/dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt"
.encrypted.whole_device = false
.encrypted.sector_start = // start of the mapping in the partition
.encrypted.sector_end = // end of the mapping in the partition
However accessing device_path in the start to end sector range is not
equivalent to accessing the partition path as it doesn't provide access
to the encrypted data. Therefore existing functions which read and
write partition data (GParted file system copying and signature erasure)
via libparted using the device_path won't work and will in fact destroy
the encrypted data. This could be coded around with an extra case in
the device opening code, however it is not necessary.
An encrypted block special device /dev/mapper/CRYPTNAME looks just like
a whole disk device because it doesn't contain a partition and the file
system it contains starts at sector 0 and goes to the end. Therefore
model an encryption mapping in the same way a whole disk device is
modelled as a Partition object like this:
.encrypted.device_path = "/dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt"
.encrypted.path = "/dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt"
.encrypted.whole_device = true
.encrypted.sector_start = 0
.encrypted.sector_end = // size of the encryption mapping - 1
Now GParted file system copy and erasure will just work without any
change. Just need to additionally store the LUKS header size, which was
previous stored in the sector_start, for use in the
get_sectors_{used,unused,unallocated}() calculations.
Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
Split out the switch statement selecting the copy implementation and
associated copy file system operation detail message into a separate
copy_filesystem() method, matching how a number of other operations are
coded. This is why the previous copy_filesystem() methods needed
renaming.
Re-write the remaining copy() into if-operation-fails-return-false style
to simplify it. Re-write final complicated conditional check repair and
maximise file system into separate positive if conditions for swap and
larger partition to make it understandable.
The min_size parameter to copy() was queried from the partition_src
parameter also passed to copy(). Drop the parameter and query inside
copy() instead.
Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
Rename GParted_Core methods:
copy_filesystem(4 params) -> copy_filesystem_internal()
copy_filesystem(5 params) -> copy_filesystem_internal()
copy_filesystem(10 params) -> copy_blocks()
See the following commit for the desire to do this.
Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
Files were named Block_Copy and the class was named block_copy. Change
to the primary naming convention of CamelCase class name and matching
file names.
Also make CopyBlocks::copy_block() a private method as it is only used
internally within the class.
Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
These two methods had a lot of repeated and common code. Both determine
if the partition has any pending operations, notify the user that
changing the busy status can not be performed, and report any errors
when changing the status.
Extract the common code into sub-functions check_toggle_busy_allowed()
and show_toggle_failure_dialog() to handle showing the message dialogs.
Also refactor toggle_busy_state() to make it clear that it handles 5
cases of swapon, swapoff, activate VG, deactivate VG and unmount file
system.
Also remove out of date comment near the top of toggle_busy_state()
stating there can only be pending operations for inactive partitions is
out of date. Some file systems can be resized while online and
partition naming is allowed whatever the busy status of the file system.
Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
The primary reason to refactor unmount_partition() is to pass the
Partition object to be unmounted, rather than use member variable
selected_partition_ptr so that it doesn't have to handle the differences
between encrypted and non-encrypted Partition objects. The calling
function can deal with that instead. Then there were lots of small
reasons to change almost every other line too:
* Return success or failure rather than updating a passed pointer with
the result. Leftover from when the function used to be a separate
thread:
commit 52a2a9b00a
Reduce threading (#685740)
* Pass updated error string by reference rather than by pointer. Likely
another leftover.
* Stop borrowing the updated error string as a local variable for the
error output from the umount command. Use new umount_error local
variable instead. Was bad practice making the code harder to
understand.
* Rename failed_mountpoints to skipped_mountpoints to better reflect
that it contains the mount points not attempted to be unmounted
because two or more file systems are mounted at that point.
* Rename errors to umount_errors to better reflect it contains the
errors from each failed umount command.
* Document the reason for mount points being skipped.
* Update the skipped mount points message to state definitely why they
could not be unmounted rather than stating most likely.
* Simplify logic processing the error cases and return value.
* Made static because it no longer accesses any class members.
* Remove out dated "//threads.." comment from the header. Another
leftover from when the function use to be a separate thread.
Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
Reorder the parameters into the same order in which they occur in the
row, i.e. Name first, then Mount Point and finally Label. Rename local
variables in load_partitions(1 param) and parameters of
load_partitions(5 params) prefixing with "show_" to make it clearer the
variables track if that column will be displayed or not.
create_row() populates the values for each row to be displayed in the UI
from the relevant Partition object. However load_partitions(5 params)
independently decided if the Name, Mount Point and Label columns were
empty and should be displayed.
Getting the mount point value is more complex for encrypted file systems
because it has to call get_mountpoints() on the inner encrypted
Partition object. load_partitions(5 params) didn't account for this.
Fix by making create_row() both copy the values into each row and at the
same time check if they are empty to decide if they should be displayed
or not.
Bug 775475 - Mount Point column displayed for encrypted file systems
even when empty
If the GParted main window is closed before the initial device load
completed gpartedbin never exits. The main window closes but the
process sits there idle forever. Subsequently running GParted reports
this error:
# gparted
The process gpartedbin is already running.
Only one gpartedbin process is permitted.
If the user is running GParted from a desktop menu they will never see
this error so they will never know why GParted won't start any more.
More technically, it is if the main window is closed before the
Win_GParted::on_show() callback completes.
I assume the Gtk main loop doesn't setup the normal quit handling until
the on_show() callback finishes drawing the main window for the first
time. Following this hint [1], move the initial device load from the
on_show() callback to immediately after it completes by using a run once
idle callback setup in on_show().
This looks exactly the same to the user except now gpartedbin exits when
the main window is closed during the initial device load. Note that
GParted finished the device load before exiting. This is exactly the
same as happens when exiting during subsequent device refreshes.

* src/TreeView_Detail.cc: Removed text_color hard coding
- Removed hard coding of Partition and Filesystem text_color
which was based on if partition was TYPE_UNALLOCATED.
- Removed hard coding of Mount text_color which was based
on if partition was busy. Lock symbol provides this indicator.
- Closes GParted bug #413810 - Don't hardcode text colour in

The GParted_Core::mount_info and GParted_Core::fstab_info maps and the

a separate Mount_Info module and reduce the size of the monster
GParted_Core slightly.
The FS_Info module has a pseudo multi-object interface and used the
constructor to load the cache. However all the data in the class is

FS_Info objects and provide an explicit load_cache() method.
The Proc_Partitions_Info has a pseudo multi-object interface and uses
the constructor to load the cache. However all the data in the class is

variables, yet was needed just to call the member functions.

Vol_id has been retired and removed from all supported distributions.
See earlier commit "Remove use of retired vol_id from FS_Info module
(#767842)" for more details. Therefore remove it's use from GParted
entirely.
GParted is already reading /proc/partitions to get whole disk device
names. The file also contains the major, minor device number of every
partition. Use this information to pre-populate the cache in the
BlockSpecial class.
# cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
8 0 20971520 sda
8 1 512000 sda1
8 2 20458496 sda2
...
9 3 1047552 md3
259 2 262144 md3p1
259 3 262144 md3p2
...
253 0 18317312 dm-0
253 1 2097152 dm-1
253 2 8383872 dm-2
253 3 1048576 dm-3
Note that for Device-Mapper names (dm-*) the kernel is not using the
canonical user space names (mapper/*). There is no harm in
pre-populating the cache with these names and will help if tools report
them too. It is just that for DMRaid, LVM and LUKS, GParted uses the
canonical /dev/mapper/* names so will still have to call stat() once for
each such name.
For plain disks (sd*) and Linux Software RAID arrays (md*) the kernel
name is the common user space name too, therefore matches what GParted
uses and pre-populating does avoid calling stat() at all for these
names.
Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
Creation of every BlockSpecial object used to result in a stat() OS
call. On one of my test VMs debugging with 4 disks and a few partitions
on each, GParted refresh generated 541 calls to stat() in the
BlockSpecial(name) constructor. However there were only 45 unique
names. So on average each name was stat()ed approximately 12 times.
Cache the major, minor number associated with each name after starting
with a cleared cache for each GParted refresh. This reduces these
direct calls to stat() to just the 45 unique names.
Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
The FS_Info cache is loaded from "blkid" output and compares block
special names. Therefore switch to using BlockSpecial objects so that
comparisons are performed by the major, minor device number instead.
Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
FS_Info module caches the output from blkid as a single string and uses
regular expressions to find the line matching the requested block
special file name. This is not compatible with using BlockSpecial
objects to represent block special files, and perform matching by major,
minor device number. Therefore parse the blkid output into a vector of
structures containing the needed fields, ready for switching to
BlockSpecial objects in the following patch.
Interface to the module remains unchanged.
Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
Vol_id was removed from udev 142, released 2009-05-13, and udev switched
to using blkid instead [1]. All currently supported distributions use
later versions of udev (or systemd after the udev merge), except for
RedHat / CentOS 5 with udev 095. However RedHat / CentOS 5 does provide
blkid and vol_id is found in udev specific /lib/udev directory not on
the PATH. Therefore effectively vol_id is not available on any
supported distribution and blkid is always available. Therefore remove
use of vol_id from the FS_Info module. Less code to refactor and test
in following changes.

Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
The SWRaid_Info cache is loaded from "mdadm" command output and
/proc/mdstat file. It contains the member name which is used to access
the cache, therefore switch to using BlockSpecial objects so that
comparison is performed using the major, minor device number.
Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
The LUKS_Info module cache is loaded from "dmsetup" command and compares
block special files, therefore switch to using BlockSpecial objects so
that comparisons are performed by major, minor device number.
Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
Small optimisation which avoids constructing an extra BlockSpecial
object when determining if a btrfs member is mounted. Rather than
extracting the name from the BlockSpecial object in
btrfs::get_mount_device() and re-constructing another BlockSpecial
object from that name in GParted_Core::is_dev_mounted(), pass the
BlockSpecial object directly.
Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
There are no known errors which affect the remaining caches in GParted.
However those caches which compare block special devices will be changed
to use BlockSpecial objects so comparison is by major, minor device
number rather than by name.
Change btrfs member cache loaded from "btrfs filesystem show" output to
use BlockSpecial objects.
Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
On some distributions having btrfs on top of LUKS encrypted partitions,
adding a second device and removing the first device used to mount the
file system causes GParted to no longer be able to report the file
system as busy or the mount points themselves.
For example, on CentOS 7, create a single btrfs file system and mount
it. The provided /dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt name is reported, via
/proc/mounts, as the mounting device:
# cryptsetup luksFormat --force-password /dev/sdb1
# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 sdb1_crypt
# mkfs.btrfs -L encrypted-btrfs /dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt
# mount /dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt /mnt/1

GParted loads the mount_info mapping from /proc/mounts and with it the
/dev/dm-3 name. When GParted is determining if the encrypted btrfs file
system is mounted or getting the mount points it is using the
/dev/mapper/sdb2_crypt name. Therefore no information is found and the
file system is incorrectly reported as unmounted.
Fix by changing mount_info and fstab_info to use BlockSpecial objects
instead of strings so that matching is performed by major, minor device
numbers rather than by string compare. Note that as BlockSpecial
objects are used as the key of std::map [1] mappings operator<() [2]
needs to be provided to order the key values.

Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
In some cases creating an LVM2 Physical Volume on top of a DMRaid array
reports no usage information and this partition warning:
Unable to read the contents of this file system!
Because of this some operations may be unavailable.
The cause might be a missing software package.
The following list of software packages is required for lvm2
pv file system support: lvm2.
For example on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (with GParted built with
--enable-libparted-dmraid) create an LVM2 PV in a DMRaid array
partition. GParted uses this command:
# lvm pvcreate -M 2 /dev/mapper/isw_bacdehijbd_MyArray0p2
But LVM reports the PV having a different name:
# lvm pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-isw_bacdehijbd_MyArray0p2 lvm2 a-- 1.00g 1.00g
This alternate name is loaded into the LVM2_PV_Info module cache. Hence
when GParted queries partition /dev/mapper/isw_bacdehijbd_MyArray0p2 it
has no PV information against that name and reports unknown usage.
However they are actually the same block special device; major 252,
minor 2:
# ls -l /dev/mapper/isw_bacdehijbd_MyArray0p2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 252, 2 Jul 2 11:09 /dev/mapper/isw_bacdehijbd_MyArray0p2
# ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-isw_bacdehijbd_MyArray0p2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 2 11:09 /dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-isw_bacdehijbd_MyArray0p2 -> ../../dm-2
# ls -l /dev/dm-2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 252, 2 Jul 2 11:09 /dev/dm-2
To determine if two names refer to the same block special device their
major, minor numbers need to be compared, instead of string comparing
their names.
Implement class BlockSpecial which encapsulates the name and major,
minor numbers for a block special device. Also performs comparison as
needed. See bug 767842 comments 4 and 5 for further investigation and
decision for choosing to implement a class.
Replace name strings in the LVM2_PV_Info module with BlockSpecial
objects performing correct block special device comparison.

Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
Background
GParted stored a list of paths for Device and Partition objects. It
sorted this list [1][2] and treated the first specially as that is what
get_path() returned and was used almost everywhere; with the file system
specific tools, looked up in various *_Info caches, etc.
[1] Device::add_path(), ::add_paths()
[2] Partition::add_path(), ::add_paths()
Mount point display [3] was the only bit of GParted which really worked
with the path list. Busy file system detection [4] just used the path
provided by libparted, or for LUKS /dev/mapper/* names. It checked that
single path against the mounted file systems found from /proc/mounts,
expanded with additional block device names when symlinks were
encountered.
[3] GParted_Core::set_mountpoints() -> set_mountpoints_helper()
[4] GParted_Core::set_device_partitions() -> is_busy()
GParted_Core::set_device_one_partition() -> is_busy()
GParted_Core::set_luks_partition() -> is_busy()
Having the first path, by sort order, treated specially by being used
everywhere and virtually ignoring the others was wrong, complicated to
remember and difficult code with. As all the additional paths were
virtually unused and made no difference, remove them. The "improved
detection of mountpoins, free space, etc.." benefit from commit [5]
doesn't seem to exist. Therefore simplify to a single path for Device
and Partition objects.
[5] commit 6d8b169e73
changed the way devices and partitions store their device paths.
Instead of holding a 'realpath' and a symbolic path we store paths
in a list. This allows for improved detection of mountpoins, free
space, etc..
This patch
Simplify the Device object from a vector of paths to a single path.
Remove add_paths() and get_paths() methods. Keep add_path() and
get_path() for now.

When Win_GParted::activate_delete() was stepping through the operation
list removing operations (2 & 3 in the above recreation steps) which
related to the new partition never to be created it called
get_partition_new() on all operations in the list. This included
calling get_partition_new() on the check operation (1 in the above
recreation steps). As partition_new was not set or used by the check
operation get_partition_new() asserted false and crashed GParted.
Fix by populating the partition_new member in OperationCheck objects,
thus allowing get_partition_new() to be called on the object. As a
check operation doesn't change any partition boundaries or file system
attributes, just duplicate the new partition from the original
partition.

The previous commit (Fix crash reading NTFS usage when there is no

is too small on 64-bit machines. Also this member variable stores no
FileSystem class information and was being used as a local variable.
Replace with local variables of the of the correct type, wide enough to
store the npos not found value.
Bug 764658 - GParted crashes when reading NTFS usage when there is no

As part of the internal block copy operation 5 initial ranges of blocks
are copied using different block sizes to determine the fastest. Then
the remainder is copied using the fastest block size. Each of these
copies reports progress independently, so during the benchmarking phase
the progress bar flashes 5 times as it goes from 0 to 100% in a fraction
of a second, before showing the progress of the remainder.
This looks bad, so report a single progress bar for all the ranges of
blocks copied in a single copy operation.
Already have variables done and length which track progress within each
copied range; and total_done which records amount copied in previous
ranges. Just add total_length to allow overall progress to be reported.

for the explanation.
Bug 762366 - Add progress bar to NTFS file system specific copy method
The timed progress tracking callback for execution of xfs copy follows
this pattern:
sigc::connection c;
...
c = Glib::signal_timeout().connect( ... sigc::mem_fun( *this, &xfs::copy_progress ) ..., 500 /*ms*/ );
... execute_command( ... );
c.disconnect();
As with output progress tracking callbacks for ext2/3/4 and ntfs file
system specific commands, pass the callback slot and a flag into
execute_command() and connect the timed callback inside. This
simplified the pattern to:
... execute_command( ...|EXEC_PROGRESS_TIMED,
static_cast<TimedSlot>( sigc::mem_fun( *this, &xfs::copy_progress ) ) );
NOTE:
The type of sigc::mem_fun() doesn't allow the compiler to choose between
the two overloaded variants of execute_command() with the fourth
parameter of either (full types without typedefs of StreamSlot and
TimedSlot respectively):
sigc::slot<void, OperationDetail *> stream_progress_slot
sigc::slot<bool, OperationDetail *> timed_progress_slot
Therefore have to cast the result of all callback slots to the relevant
type. Hence:
static_cast<StreamSlot>( sigc::mem_fun( *this, &{CLASS}::{NAME}_progress ) )
static_cast<TimedSlot>( sigc::mem_fun( *this, &xfs::copy_progress ) )

Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
For the relevant stream from a file system specific command being
tracked, there were 2 callbacks attached: update_command_output() and
update_command_progress(). When called, update_command_progress() just
emitted signal_progress to call the file system specific progress
tracker callback. Like this:
signal_update.emit() -> update_command_output()
-> update_command_progress()
signal_progress.emit() -> {CLASS}::{NAME}_progress()
Instead just connect the file system specific progress tracker callback
directly to signal_update and bypass the unnecessary
update_command_progress() method and the signal_progress signal. Like
this:
signal_update.emit() -> update_command_output()
-> {CLASS}::{NAME}_progress()
Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
All the output progress tracking callbacks for execution of ext2/3/4 and
ntfs file system specific commands followed this pattern:
sigc::connection c = signal_progress.connect( sigc::mem_fun( *this, &ext2::..._progress ) );
bool success = ! execute_command( ... );
c.disconnect();
return success;
Instead, pass the callback slot and a flag into execute_command() and
connect the callback inside. This simplifies the pattern to:
return ! execute_command( ...|EXEC_PROGRESS_STDOUT,
sigc::mem_fun( *this, &ext2::..._progress ) );
Note that as the progress tracking callbacks are only registered against
updates to the relevant stream from the tracked commands they won't be
called when the other stream is updated any more.
Also note that signal_progress is a member of the FileSystem class and
derived objects so lives as long as GParted is running, therefore the
progress tracking callbacks need explicitly disconnecting at the end of
execute_command(). However signal_update is a member of the PipeCapture
class of which the output and error local variables in execute_command()
are types. Therefore there is no need to explicitly disconnect the
signal_update callbacks as they will be destructed along with the
callback slots when they go out of scope at the end of the
execute_command() method.
Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
Remove unused members: fraction and progress_text from the
OperationDetail class now that the ProgressBar class has superseded
their use. This also allows removal of timer_global member from the
copy_blocks class. Timer_global was only used to track the elapsed time
copying blocks and allow the remaining time to be estimated and written
into progress_text. The ProgressBar class also does this itself
internally.
Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
Most of the file system specific command progress trackers followed this
pattern:
void {CLASS}::{NAME}_progress( OperationDetail *operationdetail )
{
ProgressBar & progressbar = operationdetail->get_progressbar();
// parse output for progress and target values
if ( // have progress and target values )
{
if ( ! progressbar.running() )
progressbar.start( target );
progressbar.update( progress );
operationdetail->signal_update( *operationdetail );
}
else if ( // found progress finished )
{
if ( progressbar.running() )
progressbar.stop();
operationdetail->signal_update( *operationdetail );
}
}
That is a lot of repetition handling progress bar updates and
OperationDetail object update signalling. Remove the need for direct
access to the single ProgressBar object and provide these two
OperationDetail methods instead:
// Start and update in one
run_progressbar( progress, target, optional text_mode );
stop_progressbar();
Now the file system specific command progress trackers can become:
void {CLASS}::{NAME}_progress( OperationDetail *operationdetail )
{
// parse output for progress and target values
if ( // have progress and target values )
{
operationdetail->run_progressbar( progress, target );
}
else if ( // found progress finished )
{
operationdetail->stop_progressbar();
}
}
Make ProgressBar::get_progressbar() a private method to enforce use of
the new way to access the progress bar via the run_progress() and
stop_progressbar() methods. Then make the Dialog_Progress a friend
class to OperationDetail so that the Apply pending operations dialog can
still access the single ProgressBar object for its querying needs.

these two previous commits:

Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
XFS uses a file system specific method to copy the partition using
"xfsdump | xfsrestore". Monitor progress by periodically querying the
destination file system usage and comparing to the source file system
usage. Use 0.5 seconds as the polling interval to match that used by
the internal block copying algorithm.
NOTE:
The number of used blocks in the source and destination file system will
be very close but may not match exactly. I have seen an XFS copy finish
with the following progress text:
1.54 GiB of 1.50 GiB copied (-00:00:02 remaining)
Allow the progress bar to overrun like this as it is informing the user
that it actually copied a little more data and took a little longer than
expected. Needs these two previous commits to correctly round and
format the negative time remaining:

Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
1) Multiple progress bars
The OperationDetail class contains member fraction which is used to feed
data to the current operation progress bar shown in the Applying pending
operations dialog. Dialog_Progress::on_signal_update() gets called for
every updated OperationDetail object and depending on whether fraction
is > 0.0 or not, switches between showing a growing or pulsing progress
bar. This leads to the conclusion that every OperationDetail object
currently being updated is effectively driving the single on screen
progress bar with different data.
The Copy_Blocks code is careful to update text and faction in a single
OperationDetail object and everything is good. The on screen progress
bar is switched into growing mode and then grows to 100%.
Since external command output is updated in real time [1] there are two
OperationDetail objects, one for stdout and one for stderr, which are
updated whenever data is read from the relevant stream. Also now that
progress is interpreted from some external command output [2][3][4] a
separate OperationDetail object is getting updated with the progress
fraction. (Actually the grandparent OperationDetail of the ones
receiving stdout and stderr updates as used by the file system specific
*_progress() methods). In the normal case of an external command
which is reporting it's progress two OperationDetails are constantly
being updated together, the OperationDetail object tracking stdout and
it's grandparent receiving progress fraction updates. This causes the
the code in Dialog_Progress::on_signal_update() to constantly switch
between growing and pulsing progress bar mode. The only reason this
doesn't flash the progress bar is because the stdout OperationDetail
object is updated first and before the 100 ms timeout fires to pulse the
bar, it's grandparent is updated with the new fraction to keep growing
the bar instead.
2) Common code
The Copy_Blocks code currently tracks the progress of blocks copied
against target amount, which it has to do anyway. That information is
then used to generate the text and fraction to update into the
OperationDetail object and drive the on screen progress bar. This same
level of tracking is wanted for the XFS and ext2/3/4 file system
specific copy methods.
Conclusion and solution
Having multiple sources of progress bar data is a problem and makes it
clear that there must be only one source of progress data. Also some
code can be shared for tracking the amount of blocks copied and
generating the display.
Therefore have a single ProgressBar object which is used everywhere.
This commit
It just creates a single ProgressBar object which is available via all
OperationDetail objects and Copy_Blocks is updated accordingly. Note
that the ProgressBar still contains debugging and that the GUI progress
bar of the current operation is still driven via the fraction member in
any OperationDetail object.

Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
Write a generic progress bar class. Has the following features:
* Has separate progress and target numbers, rather than a single
completion fraction, to enable the the next feature.
* Optionally generates text reporting the amount of data copied using
the progress and target numbers like this:
"1.00 MiB of 16.00 MiB copied"
* After running for 5 seconds, also add estimated remaining time.
(Waits to allow the data copying rate to settle down a little before
estimating the remaining time). Looks like this:
"1.00 MiB of 16.00 MiB copied (00:01:59) remaining)"
The ProgressBar class is not driving the visual progress bar yet. It
has just been added into the internal block copy algorithm and generates
debug messages showing the progress bar is operating correctly.
Debugging looks like this:
DEBUG: ProgressBar::start(target=2.0636e+09, text_mode=PROGRESSBAR_TEXT_COPY_BYTES)
DEBUG: ProgressBar::update(progress=1.30023e+08) m_fraction=0.0630081 m_text="124.00 MiB of 1.92 GiB copied"

Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
At the moment any messages for an encrypted file system aren't shown,
only messages from the outer PartitionLUKS object are shown. Also in
Win_GParted::activate_paste() the selected Partition object, possibly
a derived PartitionLUKS, is cloned and the messages cleared.
Therefore a set of accessor methods must be provided to query and modify
partition messages. Messages will be stored in the Partition object to
which they are added and retrieved from all. So in the case of a
derived PartitionLUKS they will be retrieved from the messages vector of
the PartitionLUKS object itself and the messages vector for the
encrypted file system it contains.
To replace code like this in GParted_Core:
partition_temp->messages = messages;
We might naturally provide a set_messages() method which assigns the
messages vector and is used like this:
partition_temp->set_messages( messages );
However on a PartitionLUKS object what should set_messages() do? By the
name it will replace any existing messages in the PartitionLUKS object
itself, but what should happen to the messages for the contained
encrypted Partition object? Should they be cleared or left alone?
Rather than implement set_messages() with unclear semantics implement
append_messages(), which in the PartitionLUKS object case will clearly
leave any messages for the contained encrypted Partition object alone.
Append_messages() is then used to add messages as the Partition or
PartitionLUKS objects when populating the data in GParted_Core.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
For LUKS formatted partitions add an encryption section into the
Information dialog and display the type of encryption, path, UUID and
status of the encryption.
The file system section continues to display appropriate file system
details, including the partition graphic with the file system specific
border colour and correct usage. The details will either be of a plain
file system, an encrypted file system, or nothing when there is no open
dm-crypt mapping, leaving the encrypted file system inaccessible.
Should there be LUKS encryption directly within LUKS encryption then the
details of the inner encryption will be displayed in the file system
section. However this configuration will not be further supported by
GParted.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
There is already the set of methods in the Partition class to report the
file system usage. Virtualise them and provide PartitionLUKS specific
implementations to calculate the usage of a file system wrapped in LUKS
encryption.
See the ascii art and comment in PartitionLUKS.cc for the details of
those calculations.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
LUKS headers don't provide any concept of label. Also there is already
the method Partition::get_filesystem_label() for getting the *file
system* label, so virtualise it and provide an appropriate
implementation to get the label of an encrypted file system represented
within a derived PartitionLUKS object. This causes the label to be
displayed correctly in the main window.
It also happens to display the encrypted file system label in the
Information dialog for a LUKS formatted partition. However the whole
Information dialog will be addressed differently in a following commit.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
In the File System column in the GUI, when there is an open dm-crypt
mapping, display the colour square for the encrypted file system within
and the text as "[Encrypted] FSTYPE". For closed mappings nothing can
be known about the encrypted file system within so continue to display a
purple square and the text "[Encrypted]".
Looks like:
Partition | File System
...
/dev/sdb3 # ext4
v /dev/sdb4 * # extended
/dev/sdb5 # [Encrypted]
/dev/sdb6 * # [Encrypted] unknown
/dev/sdb7 * # [Encrypted] ext4
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
Partition object represents a region of a disk and the file system
within. GParted always displays the colour base of the type of the file
system. Therefore remove the color member and always look it up from
the type of the file system as needed.
This makes one less member that will need virtual accessor methods with
different handling in the derived PartitionLUKS class.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
When there exists an open dm-crypt mapping, populate the encrypted
Partition object representing the encrypted file system.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
Absolute minimum implementation of a PartitionLUKS class which can be
constructed, polymorphically copied and destroyed. Contains an
"encrypted" member of type Partition to represent the encrypted file
system within the LUKS format.
Create PartitionLUKS objects instead of base Partition objects when a
LUKS formatted partition is found. Only the base Partition object
member values have been populated, and the "encrypted" member remains
blank at this point.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
This is the equivalent change as made to set_mountpoints() in an earlier
commit. Change GParted_Core::set_used_sectors() from being called with
a vector of partitions and processing them all to being called per
partition. This is in preparation for calling set_used_sectors() on a
single Partition object inside a PartitionLUKS object.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
Previously GParted_Core::set_mountpoints() was called with a vector of
partitions and processed them all. Now make set_mountpoints() process a
single partition and push the calls to it down one level from
set_devices_thread() into set_device_partitions() and
set_device_one_partition(). This is in preparation for having an
encrypted file system represented as a Partition object inside a
PartitionLUKS object and needing to call set_mountpoints() for the inner
single Partition object.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
Only load the LUKS_Info cache of active dm-crypt mappings when the first
LUKS partition is encountered. Not needed from a performance point of
view as the longest that I have ever seen "dmsetup table --target crypt"
take to run is 0.05 seconds. Just means that the dmsetup command is
only run when there are LUKS partitions and the information is needed.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
Populate the used, unused and unallocated figures in the Partition
object for a LUKS formatted partition. See comment in
luks::set_used_sectors() for the rational of what is used, unused and
unallocated.
As that rational mentions, a LUKS header does not store the size of the
encrypted data and is assumed to extend to the end of the partition by
the tools which start the mapping.

Provide a minimal implementation of a luks file system class which only
does busy detection.
NOTE:
For now, read-only LUKS support, a LUKS partition will be busy when a
dm-crypt mapping exists. Later when read-write LUKS support is added
GParted will need to look at the busy status of the encrypted file
system within the open LUKS partition and map LUKS partition busy status
to encryption being open or closed.

Renamed from DEV_MAP_PATH to DEV_MAPPER_PATH. Moved so that the
constant is logically intended for use outside of the DMRaid class.
Also specifically make the string constant have external linkage, rather
than the default internal (static) linkage for constants, so that there
is only one copy of the variable in the program, rather than one copy in
each compilation unit which included DMRaid.h. Namely DMRaid.cc and
GParted_Core.cc.

The Partition(path) constructor is no longer used. Remove.
When a base class destructor is virtual, derived class destructors are
also virtual [1] even if they don't have the virtual qualifier.
As the Operation destructor is virtual, derived Operation* classes
destructors are virtual too. Add virtual qualifier just to reflect what
the C++ language mandates the compiler implement.
[1] Derived class with non-virtual destructor
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7403883/derived-class-with-non-virtual-destructor
The sector_size parameter is unnecessary as the value can be retrieved
from the sector size of the selected Partition object on which the
create new, copy & paste or resize/move operation is being performed.
For the create new and resize/move operations it is trivial as the
existing unallocated or in use Partition object on which the operation
is being perform already contains the correct sector size. For the copy
& paste operation, which can copy across disk devices of different
sector sizes, we merely have to use the sector size of the existing
selected (destination) Partition object rather than copied (source)
Partition object. Hence these relevant lines in the new code:
Dialog_Partition_Copy::set_data(selected_partition, copied_partition)
new_partition = copied_partition.clone();
...
new_partition->sector_size = selected_partition.sector_size;
The struct FS constructor initialised every member *except* filesystem
and busy. Then in *most* cases after declaring struct FS, assignments
followed like this:
FS fs;
fs.filesystem = FS_BTRFS;
fs.busy = FS::GPARTED;
But member busy wasn't always initialised.
Add initialisation of members filesystem and busy to the struct FS
constructor. Specify optional parameter to the constructor to set the
filesystem member, or when left off filesystem is initialised to
FS_UNKNOWN.
Final step for full polymorphic handling of Partition objects is to
implement a virtual copy constructor. C++ doesn't directly support
virtual copy constructors, so instead use the virtual copy constructor
idiom [1]. (Just a virtual method called clone() which is implemented
in every polymorphic class and creates a clone of the current object and
returns a pointer to it).
Then replace all calls to the (monomorphic) Partition object copy
constructor throughout the code, except in the clone() implementation
itself, with calls to the new virtual clone() method "virtual copy
constructor".
Also have to make the Partition destructor virtual too [2][3] so that
the derived class destructor is called when deleting using a base class
pointer. C++ supports this directly.

Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
SQUASH: When first using pointers to Partition and calling delete
Copy assignment of Partition objects is now only performed in a few
places in the Operation and OperationResizeMove classes when updating
the displayed PartitionVector. (From Refresh_Visual() when each
operation is visually applied to the display_partitions vector; the
new_partition from the operation is copy assigned over the top of the
relevant existing partition in the display_partitions vector).
In general polymorphic copy assignment is complicated [1], and is now
unnecessary given the above limited use. All that is needed is a way to
polymorphically replace one Partition object with another in a
PartitionVector.
First, prevent further use of Partition object copy assignment by
providing a private declaration and no implementation, so the compiler
enforces this. Second implement and use PartitionVector method
replace_at() which replaces a pointer to one Partition object with
another at the specified index in the PartitionVector.

Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
Now use a pointer to the Partition object in Dialog_Base_Partition class
and derived classes, Dialog_Partition_{Copy,New,Resize_Move}. This is
equivalent to how the Partition objects are managed in the Operation and
derived classes.
The Partition object is allocated and copy constructed in each derived
classes' set_data() method, called from each constructor and deallocated
in the destructors. Considering the remaining Big 3, these classes are
never copy constructed or copy assigned so provide private definitions
and no implementations so the compiler enforces this.
Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
Change Win_GParted::copied_partition from Partition object which is
copied by value into a pointer to a Partition object object which is
allocated, copy constructed and deleted. Required as part of the
polymorphic implementation of Partitions.
As before when managing the lifetime of pointers to objects in a class
the Big 3 of destructor, copy constructor and copy assignment operator
need to be considered. A destructor is added to finally delete
copied_partition. A single Win_GParted object is only ever created and
destroyed in main(). The class is never copy constructed or copy
assigned. Make the compiler enforce this with private declarations and
no implementations.
Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
Operation classes now internally use pointers to Partition objects and
take on management of their lifetimes. As before, with the
PartitionVector class, when storing pointers in a class the Big 3 of
destructor, copy constructor and copy assignment operator also have to
be considered.
First, all the Partition objects are allocated in the derived Operation*
class parameterised constructors and freed in the associated
destructors. However the Operation classes are never copy constructed
or copy assigned; they are only ever created and destroyed. Only
pointers to the derived Operations are copied into the vector of pending
operations. Therefore the copy construtor and copy assignment operator
aren't needed. To enforce this provide inaccessible private
declarations without any implementation so that the compiler will
enforce this [1][2].
This example code fragment:
1 OperationCheck o1( device, partition );
2 OperationCheck o2 = o1;
3 o2 = o1;
Does these OperationCheck calls:
1 Implemented parameterised construtor,
2 Disallowed copy constructor,
3 Disallowed copy assignment
Trying to compile the above code would fail with errors like these:

Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
The Operation classes contain partition objects which are copied by
value. Need to replace these with pointers to Partition objects instead
and manage their lifetimes so that they can be used polymorphically.
First step is to protect the partition members partition_new,
partition_original, and for OperationCopy class only, partition_copied
within the Operation classes and provide accessor methods.
get_partition_new() and get_partition_original() accessors are
implemented in the Operation base class so all derived classes get an
implementation. get_partition_new() is also virtual so that
OperationCheck and OperationDelete can override the implementation and
assert that they don't use partition_new. get_partition_copied() is
provided for the OperationCopy class only so can only be accessed via an
OperationCopy type variable.
Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
Remove PartitionVector push_back() and insert() methods which copy
construct Partitions objects into the vector. All the code has already
been changed to dynamically allocate Partition objects and use the
adoption variants of these methods named, push_back_adopt() and
insert_adopt(). Remove the no longer used methods.
Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
GParted_Core and Operation classes both have an insert_unallocated()
method which do the same thing with very nearly identical code. Both
methods insert unallocated partitions into the vector of partitions
within the specified range of sectors to fill in any gaps larger than
1 MiB. The only difference was how the two methods got the device path;
the GParted_Core class method got it via a parameter and the Operation
class method got it by calling get_path() on its device member variable.
The GParted_Core insert_unallocated() method gets called during device
scanning and the Operation one gets called when constructing the visual
for a pending operation.
Consolidate down to a single insert_unallocated() implementation by
making the Operation class method call the GParted_Core class method.
Make the GParted_Core class method static and public so that it can be
called using the class name from outside the class.
Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
The current code uses push_back() and insert() to copy Partition objects
into the vector of pointers. This has a few issues:
1) Unnecessary copying of Partition objects;
2) Hides the nature of the PartitionVector class as a manager of
pointers to Partition objects by providing copy semantics to add
items. It is generally better to be explicit;
3) C++ doesn't provide polymorphic copy construction directly, but this
is easily worked around by following the Virtual Constructor idiom
[1], which would allow PartitionLUKS derived class objects to be
copied into the vector.
Add push_back_adopt() and insert_adopt() methods which add a pointer to
a Partition object into the PartitionVector adopting ownership.

Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
The PartitionVector class is now internally using pointers to Partition
objects and taking on management of their lifetimes. It therefore has
to implement the Big 3: destructor, copy constructor and copy assignment
operator [1][2]. This is because the implicitly-defined copy
constructor and assignment operator perform memberwise "shallow copying"
and the destructor does nothing. This not correct for classes which
contain non-class types such as raw pointers.
The semantics of the interface still copies each Partition object into
the PartitionVector when they are added with push_back() and insert().
Note that a PartitionVector object is explicitly copy assigned in
Win_GParted::Refresh_Visual(). They are also implicitly copied when
(1) the implementing vector is resized larger to allow it to hold more
pointers to Partition objects than it previously had capacity for; and
(2) a Partition object is copied including the logicals PartitionVector
member.

Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
Lots of files which use the Partition class relied on the declaration
being included via other header files. This is bad practice.
Add #include "Partition.h" into every file which uses the Partition
class which doesn't already include it. Header file #include guards are
specifically to allow this.
get_partitions() method was returning a vector of partitions. However
the calling code only needed to know whether any partitions were found
or not. Replace with found_partitions() method reporting the needed
boolean.
Now use of std::vector<Partition> partitions is hidden within the
Dialog_Rescue_Data class implementation.
Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
Just creates PartitionVector class and includes it in partition.h so
that it is built and validated by the compiler. Not used anywhere yet.
Implementation strategy is to create a PartitionLUKS class derived from
the Partition class. This implies polymorphism of Partition objects,
which in C++ requires using pointers and references to objects, and not
using objects directly. (See C++ object slicing). Later this

Bug 467925 - gparted: add progress bar during operation
Return newly constructed partition object by reference rather than by
copy from the Copy, Resize/Move and New dialog classes. This is another
case of stopping copying partition objects in preparation for using
polymorphic Partition objects. In C++ polymorphism has to use pass by
pointer and reference and not pass by value, copying, to avoid object
slicing.
The returned reference to the partition is only valid until the dialog
object containing the new_partition member is destroyed. This is okay
because in all three cases the returned referenced partition is copied
into a context with new lifetime expectations before the dialog object
is destroyed.
Case 1: GParted_Core::activate_paste()
Referenced new_partition is copied in the OperationCopy constructor
before the dialog object goes out of scope.
Operation * operation = new OperationCopy( ...,
dialog.Get_New_Partition( ... ),
... );
Case 2: GParted_Core::activate_new()
Referenced new_partition is copied in the OperationCreate
constructor before the dialog object goes out of scope.
Operation * operation = new OperationCreate( ...,
dialog.Get_New_Partition( ... ) );
Case 3: GParted_Core::activate_resize()
Temporary partition object is copied from the referenced
new_partition before the dialog object goes out of scope.
Partition part_temp = dialog.Get_New_Partition( ... );
Bug 757671 - Rework Dialog_Partition_New::Get_New_Partition() a bit
This is just to make the parameter name in the Dialog_Partition_New
constructor and set_data() method match the name of the equivalent
parameter in the Dialog_Partition_Copy and Dialog_Partition_Resize_Move
classes. (All three classes inherit from Dialog_Base_Partition and have
similar interfaces).
Bug 757671 - Rework Dialog_Partition_New::Get_New_Partition() a bit
Automatically load the cache of SWRaid information for the first time if
any of the querying methods are called before the first explicit
load_cache() call. Means we can't accidentally use the class and
incorrectly find no SWRaid members when they do exist.
Bug 756829 - SWRaid member detection enhancements
Busy file systems are accessed via a mount point, LVM Physical Volumes
are activated via the Volume Group name and busy SWRaid members are
accessed via the array device, /dev entry. Therefore choose to show the
array device in the mount point field for busy SWRaid members.
The kernel device name for an SWRaid array (without leading "/dev/") is
the same as used in /proc/mdstat and /proc/partitions. Therefore the
array device (with leading "/dev/") displayed in GParted will match
between the mount point for busy SWRaid members and the array itself as
used in the device combo box.

Bug 756829 - SWRaid member detection enhancements
In cases where blkid wrongly reports a file system instead of an SWRaid
member (sometimes confused by metadata 0.90/1.0 mirror array or old
version not recognising SWRaid members), the UUID and label are
obviously wrong too. Therefore have to use the UUID and label returned
by the mdadm query command and never anything reported by blkid or any
file system specific command.
Example of blkid reporting the wrong type, UUID and label for /dev/sda1
and the correct values for /dev/sdb1:
# blkid | egrep 'sd[ab]1'
/dev/sda1: UUID="10ab5f7d-7d8a-4171-8b6a-5e973b402501" TYPE="ext4" LABEL="chimney-boot"
/dev/sdb1: UUID="15224a42-c25b-bcd9-15db-60004e5fe53a" UUID_SUB="0a095e45-9360-1b17-0ad1-1fe369e22b98" LABEL="chimney:1" TYPE="linux_raid_member"

...
NOTES:
* In mdadm terminology the label is called the array name, hence name=
parameter for array md/1 in the above output.
* Metadata 0.90 arrays don't support naming, hence the missing name=
parameter for array md127 in the above output.
Bug 756829 - SWRaid member detection enhancements
Add active attribute to the cache of SWRaid members. Move parsing of
/proc/mdstat to discover busy SWRaid members into the cache loading
code. New parsing code is a little different because it is finding all
members of active arrays rather than determining if a specific member is
active.
Bug 756829 - SWRaid member detection enhancements
Detection of Linux SWRaid members currently fails in a number of cases:
1) Arrays which use metadata type 0.90 or 1.0 store the super block at
the end of the partition. So file system signatures in at least
linear and mirrored arrays occur at the same offsets in the
underlying partitions. As libparted only recognises file systems
this is what is detected, rather than an SWRaid member.
# mdadm -E -s -v
ARRAY /dev/md/1 level=raid1 metadata=1.0 num-devices=2 UUID=15224a42:c25bbcd9:15db6000:4e5fe53a name=chimney:1

2) Again with metadata type 0.90 or 1.0 arrays blkid may report the
contained file system instead of an SWRaid member. Have a single
example of this configuration with a mirrored array containing the
/boot file system. Blkid reports one member as ext4 and the other as
SWRaid!
# blkid | egrep 'sd[ab]1'
/dev/sda1: UUID="10ab5f7d-7d8a-4171-8b6a-5e973b402501" TYPE="ext4" LABEL="chimney-boot"
/dev/sdb1: UUID="15224a42-c25b-bcd9-15db-60004e5fe53a" UUID_SUB="0a095e45-9360-1b17-0ad1-1fe369e22b98" LABEL="chimney:1" TYPE="linux_raid_member"
Bypassing the blkid cache gets the correct result.
# blkid -c /dev/null /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: UUID="15224a42-c25b-bcd9-15db-60004e5fe53a" UUID_SUB="d0460f90-d11a-e80a-ee1c-3d104dae7e5d" LABEL="chimney:1" TYPE="linux_raid_member"
However this can't be used because if a user has a floppy configured
in the BIOS but no floppy attached, GParted will wait for minutes as
the kernel tries to access non-existent hardware on behalf of the
blkid query. See commit:
18f863151c
Fix long scan problem when BIOS floppy setting incorrect
3) Old versions of blkid don't recognise SWRaid members at all so always
report the file system when found. Occurs with blkid v1.0 on
RedHat / CentOS 5.
The only way I can see how to fix all these cases is to use the mdadm
command to query the configured arrays. Then use this information for
first choice when detecting partition content, making the order: SWRaid
members, libparted, blkid and internal.
GParted shell wrapper already creates temporary blank udev rules to
prevent Linux Software RAID arrays being automatically started when
GParted refreshes its device information[1]. However an administrator
could manually stop or start arrays or change their configuration
between refreshes so GParted must load this information every refresh.
On my desktop with 4 internal hard drives and 3 testing Linux Software
RAID arrays, running mdadm adds between 0.20 and 0.30 seconds to the
device refresh time.

GParted waits forever when attempting to set a FAT16/32 file system

mlabel asks a question and is waiting for input. Force cancelling the

other signals. Have to kill mlabel with signal 9 (kill) to regain

Bug 755214 - Refactor operation merging
Move the code from OperationCreate::apply_to_visual() into new method
Operation::insert_new() in the parent class. This is in preparation for
the following commit.
Bug 755214 - Refactor operation merging
The apply_to_visual() method for the change UUID, format, label file
system and name partition operations duplicated identical code. This
code was just substituting the partition in the disk graphic vector with
the new partition recorded in the operation, as none of these operations
change the partition boundaries. Move this duplicate code into the
parent class in new method Operation::substitute_new().
Bug 755214 - Refactor operation merging
After previous commit "Replace open coded merge of resize/move into
create operation (#755214)" the second created partition would disappear
from the disk graphic in the following sequence: create new #1, create
new #2 leaving space preceding, resize #1 larger. The create new #2
operation still existed and was shown in the operation list. It was
just that it disappeared from the disk graphic.
Remember that when each operation is created it records the partition,
or the unallocated space, to which the operation is applied at the time
the operation is created in the partition_original member variable. In
the above sequence the resize #1 larger operation was merged back into
the create new #1 operation. When visually re-applying the create
new #1 operation to the disk graphic, it left a smaller unallocated
partition following it. This was smaller than the unallocated partition
recorded in the create new #2 operation, hence it failed to visually
re-apply to the disk graphic.
The insight to fix this is that it doesn't matter what size the
unallocated space was when the create new operation was constructed. It
only matters that the new partition to be created fits in the available
unallocated space currently in the disk graphic.
Bug 755214 - Refactor operation merging
Creation of the various operations involved various implicit rules about
how the different types of operations were merged in different cases.
This was open coded in each ::activate_*() method. Abstract this into
new merge_operations() method and make the merging rules explicitly
specified.
NOTE:
The removal of operation type checking in the MERGE_LAST_WITH_ANY cases
is not a problem because all the Operation*::merge_operations() methods
ensure the operation types match as part of the merge attempt.
Bug 755214 - Refactor operation merging
Rename Win_GParted::Merge_Operations() to merge_two_operations(). To
reflect what it does and in preparation for further refactoring of the
code.
Be more strict on the validation of the first and second indexes. The
first operation must also be before the second operation in the
operation[] vector. (It is actually a programming bug if first and
second fail validation. However so far g_assert() is only being used to
validate pointers, which if wrong would likely cause the program to
eventually crash when dereferenced later. In this case a bug would
merely cause the incorrectly specified pair of operations to not be
merged).
Move validate_display_partition_ptr() declaration in the header file to
be in the same ordering as it's definition in the source file.
Bug 755214 - Refactor operation merging
Win_GParted::Merge_Operations() method was modifying the internals of
Operation* objects; in particular the partition_new member variable.
This is breaking data hiding and encapsulation tenant of object oriented
programming.
Implement exactly the same operation merge semantics, but hide the
manipulation of the internals of the Operation* objects within the
Operation* classes themselves.

Command exit status is a 1 byte value between 0 and 255. [1][2] However
at the Unix API level the value is encoded as documented in the
waitpid(2) manual page. This is true for the Glib API too. [3] This is
why, for example, the comment in ext2::check_repair() reported receiving
undocumented exit status 256. It was actually receiving exit status 1
encoded as per the waitpid(2) method.
Add shell style exit status decoding [2] to execution of all external
commands. Return value from Utils::execute_command() and
FileSystem::execute_command() functions are now:
0 - 125 - Exit status from the command
126 - Error executing the command
127 - Command not found
128+N - Command terminated by signal N
255 - Unexpected waitpid(2) condition
Also adjust checking of the returned statuses as necessary.

... Exit statuses fall between 0 and 255, though as

... When a command terminates on a fatal signal N, bash uses

If a command is not found, the child process created to

Bug 754684 - Updates to FileSystem:: and Utils::execute_command()
functions
There has been an undocumented rule that external commands displayed in
the operation details, as part of file system manipulations, only get a
time and check mark displayed when multiple commands are needed, and not
otherwise. (GParted checks whether all commands are successful or not
regardless of whether a check mark is displayed in the operation details
or not).
EXCEPTION 1: btrfs resize
Since the following commit [1] from 2013-02-22, GParted stopped
displaying the timing for the btrfs resize command in the operation
details. It being part of a multi-command sequence to perform the step.
This is because FileSystem::execute_command() since the commit can only
check the exit status for zero / non-zero while timing and checking the
command status but btrfs resize needs to consider some non-zero statuses
as successful.

EXCEPTION 3: fat16/32 write label and UUID
Uses Utils::execute_command() rather than FileSystem::execute_command()
so can be separately changed. See the following commit for resolution
of the final commands not yet timed and check mark displayed.
CHANGE:
Lets make a simpler rule of always displaying the time and a check mark
for all external commands displayed in the operation details. However
this makes several of the other single command actions need special exit
status handling because zero success, non-zero failure is not correct
for every case. Specifically affects resizing of reiserfs and check
repair of ext2/3/4, fat16/32, jfs and reiserfs.
After this change all external commands run as file system actions must
follow one of these two patterns of using the EXEC_CHECK_STATUS flag or
separately calling FileSystem::set_status() to register success or
failure of the command:
exit_status = execute_command(cmd, od, EXEC_CHECK_STATUS...);
or:
exit_status = execute_command(cmd, od, ...);
bool success = (exit_status == 0 || exit_status == OTHER_SUCCESS_VALUE...);
set_status(od, success );
Bug 754684 - Updates to FileSystem:: and Utils::execute_command()
functions
Change the two optional boolean parameters into a single optional flags
parameter which uses symbolically defined names. Makes reading the
execute_command() calls much easier to understand. (Implemented as bit
field using the same technique as used for Glib::SpawnFlags [1]).
This changes the calls thus:
execute_command(cmd, od) -> (cmd, od)
execute_command(cmd, od, false) -> (cmd, od, EXEC_NONE) // [2]
execute_command(cmd, od, true ) -> (cmd, od, EXEC_CHECK_STATUS)
execute_command(cmd, od, false, true) -> (cmd, od, EXEC_CANCEL_SAFE)
execute_command(cmd, od, true , true) ->
(cmd, od, EXEC_CHECK_STATUS|EXEC_CANCEL_SAFE)
[1] SpawnFlags bitwise operators in
/usr/include/glibmm-2.4/glibmm/spawn.h.
[2] False and EXEC_NONE are the default values for the optional third
parameter before and after this change respectively and both mean
the same. This is being used in btrfs::resize() and being kept for
now despite it being the default.

Bug 754684 - Updates to FileSystem:: and Utils::execute_command()
functions
Since GParted commit 52a2a9b "Reduce threading (#685740)", released in
GParted 0.15.0, application of operations occurs in the main thread
running the UI, therefore long running libparted actions such as
resizing a FAT16 or FAT32 file system hang the UI for as long as it take
to complete the operation.
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gparted/commit/?id=52a2a9b00a32996921ace055e71d0e09fb33c5fe
Though this problem exists for all libparted actions, it is particularly
noticeable when performing a large resize of fat16/fat32/hfs/hfs+ file
systems.
To address this significant cause of an unresponsive GUI, this
enhancement adds threading to the libparted ped_file_system_resize
function call.

Previously on every refresh for every device, GParted was searching the
PATH to discover if the hdparm command existed. Stracing GParted showed
that calling Glib::find_program_in_path("hdparm") made the following OS
calls:
access("/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin/hdparm", X_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/usr/local/sbin/hdparm", X_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/usr/local/bin/hdparm", X_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/sbin/hdparm", X_OK) = 0
getuid() = 0
stat("/sbin/hdparm", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=137, ...}) = 0
stat("/sbin/hdparm", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=137, ...}) = 0
The Linux VFS is very fast but repeatedly doing this is wasteful.
Remember the result of searching the PATH for the hdparm command at
startup and refresh this when the [Rescan For Supported Actions] button
is pressed in the File System Support dialog. This is the same as
GParted already does for file system specific commands and their
capabilities.
Bug 751251 - Show serial number in device information
Run "hdparm -I /dev/DISK" to get the hard drive serial number of
every device which has one and display it in the Device Information.
The displayed value can either be the actual serial number, "none" or
blank. "none" means the device doesn't have a hard drive serial number,
such as for Linux software RAID arrays, BIOS fake RAID arrays or USB
flash drives. Blank means something went wrong getting the serial
number. Either it couldn't be found in the hdparm output or the hdparm
command wasn't installed.

# hdparm -I /dev/sda

The lvm query commands were always run and the cache loaded even if
GParted, actually blkid, didn't identify any LVM2 PVs. (GParted uses
libparted and blkid to identify partition content and the lvm commands
to provide the needed configuration details).
Now implement complete lazy initialization of the cache. Never force
loading of the cache. The cache is only loaded when the first value is
accessed from it. When there are no LVM2 PVs, the cache is never
queried, so never loaded. All the needed infrastructure for delayed
loading was previously added by this commit from 2011-12-11:
ff8ad04120
Lazy initialize the cache from querying LVM2 PVs (#160787)
Every public member function which access values from the cache already
calls initialize_if_required(). Just need to replace force loading of
the cache with a function which just clears the cache.
On my desktop, only when there are no LVM2 PVs, not loading the cache
and therefore not executing these external commands in
load_lvm2_pv_info_cache() saves 1.0 seconds of the 3.7 seconds it takes
to perform the a refresh in GParted:
lvm vgscan
lvm pvs ... -o pv_name,...
lvm pvs ... -o vg_name,...
Bug 750582 - Refactor the LVM2_PV_Info module object interface and
internal cache representation
GParted used to cache the results of the "lvm pvs" commands used to query
the state of the Logical Volume Manager as a series of lines of text.
Then every time a particular value was queried GParted would split all
the lines of text into fields until the required value was found.
Stop this repeat splitting of cached lines of text. Instead parse the
lines of text into separate fields and store in structures of values of
the correct type in the cache.
Bug 750582 - Refactor the LVM2_PV_Info module object interface and
internal cache representation
The LVM2_PV_Info cache had a pretend multi-object interface, yet all the
data is static. An LVM2_PV_Info object doesn't contain any member
variables, yet was needed just to call the member functions.
Make all the member functions static removing the need to use any
LVM2_PV_Info objects.
Bug 750582 - Refactor the LVM2_PV_Info module object interface and
internal cache representation
An LVM2_PV_Info object contains no member variables as all the data is
static (exists once in the program and accessed by all objects). The
constructor did nothing, except when passed true to load the cache.
Provide a separate load_cache() member function and remove the
constructors and destructor which do nothing. The C++ compiler will
provide a default constructor and destructor, which don't do anything as
there are no member variables to initialise and finalise.
This makes the interface a little easier to understand. Mostly a step
along the way of refactoring how the LVM2_PV_Info cache module works.
Bug 750582 - Refactor the LVM2_PV_Info module object interface and
internal cache representation
The copy, resize/move and new dialog classes (Dialog_Partition_Copy,
Dialog_Partition_Resize_Move and Dialog_Partition_New respectively) had
to be used like this:
construct dialog object passing some parameters
call Set_Data() to pass more parameters
run() dialog
call Get_New_Partition()
There is nothing in the classes which forces Set_Data() to be called,
but it must be called for the dialogs to work and prevent GParted from
crashing.
Make these class APIs safer by making it impossible to program
incorrectly in this regard. Move all the additional parameters from
each Set_Data() method to each constructor. The constructors just call
the now private set_data() methods.
The member variable was named selected_partition. It is assigned from
Win_GParted::selected_partition_ptr (which is a pointer to a const
partition object so is never updated). This gives connotations that it
won't be modified.
However it is updated freely as the new resultant partition object is
prepared before being returned from the dialog, most notable in the
Get_New_Partition() methods.
Therefore rename from selected_partition to new_partition.
The code goes like this:
Dialog_Partition_Copy::Get_New_Partition()
call Dialog_Base_Partition::Get_New_Partition()
Update this->selected_partition with results from running
the dialog.
return this->selected_partition by value.
Save value back to this->selected_partition.
Update this->selected_partition some more.
return this->selected_partition by value.
So there is an unnecessary copy of the partition object returned from
the base class Get_New_Partition() function back to the same variable in
the derived copy class Get_New_Partition() function.
Need to keep the base class Get_New_Partition() function as derived
class Dialog_Partition_Resize_Move uses that implementation as it
doesn't override it, and it's part of the interface.
Avoid this unnecessary copy by moving base class Get_New_Partition()
code into a new private function, called prepare_new_partition(), which
doesn't return anything. Then have Get_New_Partition() in both classes
just return the required partition object. Like this:
Dialog_Base_Partition::Get_New_Partition()
call prepare_new_partition()
return this->selected_partition by value.
Dialog_Partition_Copy::Get_New_Partition()
call Dialog_Base_Partition::prepare_new_partition()
Update this->selected_partition some more.
return this->selected_partition by value.
Bug 750168 - Reduce the amount of copying of partition objects
When Operation objects are created they take a copy of the Device object
to which the operation is to be applied. The Device object includes a
vector of all the contained Partition objects currently on the device,
so these get copied too.
These additional deep copied Partition objects in the Operation object
are never accessed. Therefore don't copy the contained Partition
objects when copying the Device object into the Operation object.
Bug 750168 - Reduce the amount of copying of partition objects
When opening the Manage Flags dialog, creation of the dialog object was
creating a copy of the selected partition object. If this was an
extended partition it also included recursively constructing the
contained logical partitions too.
Instead, replace the partition object in the DialogManageFlags class
with a reference to it.
Bug 750168 - Reduce the amount of copying of partition objects
When opening the Partition Information dialog, creation of the dialog
object was creating a copy of the partition object to be displayed. If
this was an extended partition it also included recursively constructing
the contained logical partitions too.
Instead, replace the partition object in the Dialog_Partition_Info class
with a reference to it.
NOTE:
In C++ a reference is really just a pointer under the hood. As such,
dereferences of a pointer to an object in the context of needing a
reference to the object doesn't copy the object. It merely initialises
the reference from the pointer.
Specifically, with this prototype:
Dialog_Partition_Info( const Partition & partition );
and the dialog object being constructed in Win_GParted::activate_info():
Dialog_Partition_Info dialog( *selected_partition_ptr );
the partition object is not copy constructed. A reference (pointer) to
it is merely passed to the dialog constructor.
Bug 750168 - Reduce the amount of copying of partition objects
Further ensure that a bug doesn't get introduced with the use of
selected_partition_ptr, by asserting that it points to a current
partition object in the vector of display partitions.
After deliberately breaking the code so that selected_partition_ptr
points to some other partition object, trying to display the Information
dialog causes this crash:

Bug 750168 - Reduce the amount of copying of partition objects
Now that TreeView_Details and DrawingAreaVisualDisk classes store and
pass pointers to partition objects in the Gtk signal callbacks, change
the selected partition into a pointer too.
Bug 750168 - Reduce the amount of copying of partition objects
This stops copying of each displayed partition object into the
DrawingAreaVisualDisk class.
Bug 750168 - Reduce the amount of copying of partition objects
This stops copying of each displayed partition object into the
TreeView_Details class.
It also stops copy constructing lots of partition objects when just
clicking on a partition in the disk graphic. The disk graphic needs to
inform the main GUI and then the partition list which partition has been
selected. The call sequence goes like:
DrawingAreaVisualDisk::on_button_press_event(event)
Win_GParted::on_partition_selected(partition_ptr, src_is_treeview)
TreeView_Detail::set_selected(partition_ptr)
TreeView_Detail::set_selected(rows, partition_ptr,
inside_extended)
Relevant source and highlighted comparison line:
140 bool TreeView_Detail::set_selected( Gtk::TreeModel::Children rows,
141 const Partition * partition_ptr, bool inside_extended )
142 {
143 for ( unsigned int t = 0 ; t < rows .size() ; t++ )
144 {
>> 145 if ( static_cast<Partition>( rows[t][treeview_detail_columns.partition] ) == *partition_ptr )
146 {
147 if ( inside_extended )
148 expand_all() ;
149
150 set_cursor( static_cast<Gtk::TreePath>( rows[ t ] ) ) ;
151 return true ;
152 }
153
154 if ( set_selected( rows[t].children(), partition_ptr, true ) )
155 return true ;
156 }
157
158 return false ;
159 }
Then in this function the partition selected in the disk graphic
(partition_ptr parameter) is compared in turn with each partition object
stored in the Gtk::TreeView model to find the matching one to mark it as
selected. This mere act of accessing the partition object stored in a
row of the Gtk::TreeView model causes it to be copy constructed. So
clicking on the 5th partition in the disk graphic will copy construct
the first 5 partition objects just to do a compare to find the matching
one.
This is because it is not possible to get a reference from a
Gtk:TreeViewProxy in gtkmm. Merely accessing a value in a Gtk::TreeView
model takes a copy of that value.

Bug 750168 - Reduce the amount of copying of partition objects
Change from passing a reference to the selected partition, to passing a
pointer to the selected partition in the signal_partition_selected
callbacks between the disk graphic, partition list and core GUI modules.
This is an enabler for the following patches.
Bug 750168 - Reduce the amount of copying of partition objects
Win_GParted::Refresh_Visual() used a local variable containing a copy of
the vector of partitions in the current device to be displayed. After
visually applying pending operations it loaded copies of each partition
object into the GUI widgets to display the disk graphic and partition
list, DrawingAreaVisualDisk and TreeView_Details classes respectively.
When a partition is selected in the UI, again a partition object is
copied. Also several of the partition dialogs, including the
information dialog, take a copy of the partition object. All these are
copies of the same set of partition objects, those currently being
displayed in the UI.
Move the vector of displayed partitions from a local variable in
Refresh_Visual() to a Win_GParted member variable. This will allow for
the above cases to be changed to used pointers and references to the
same set of partition objects.
The valid lifetime of pointers to elements in this partition object
vector is from one refresh to the next, when the vector is cleared and
repopulated with a new set of partition objects. This is exactly what
is needed as the GUI widgets are reloaded on each refresh, the selected
partition is reset and none of the partition dialog objects exist.
Dialog objects being created and destroyed on each use.
On the other hand some copies of partition objects currently being
displayed, still need to be made because they have lifetimes which need
to last longer than the next call to Refresh_Visual(). Specifically the
source of the copy partition and the partition objects copied into the
in the list of pending operations.
Bug 750168 - Reduce the amount of copying of partition objects
BUF in the copy dialog class, Dialog_Partition_Copy, is use to adjust
limits in 2 cases:
1) Minimum size when copying an XFS file system
Minimum size was set to the used space + 2 * cylinder size (typically
plus ~16 MiB). This commit from 2004-12-20 added it:
a54b52ea33
xfs copy now uses xfsdump and xfsrestore. icw some hacks in the other 2
Issues:
* This is increasing the minimum XFS file system size when copying it,
which doesn't happen in the resize case for other file systems.
* It allows an XFS file system to be created which is smaller than the
minimum size allowed by GParted. Copying an empty XFS file system can
create a new file system as small as 26 MiB. This is smaller than the
minimum GParted allows of 32 MiB because that is the minimum
xfs_repair can handle.
Remove this addition when copying an XFS file system and enforce minimum
file system size.
2) Maximum size when copying a file system into empty space larger than
it's maximum size
Maximum size was set to maximum file system size - cylinder size
(typically minus ~8 MiB). Only applied to FAT16 which has a maximum
file system size set in and can be grown. Added by this commit from
2004-12-15:
10e8f3338d
:get_fs now returns a const reference. in copy and resizedialog
...
* in copy and resizedialog filesystems with MAX set now have a max size of MAX - one cylinder .
Issue:
* This is applying a lower maximum resize when copying the file system
compared to that when creating the file system.
NOTE:
GParted currently allows all file systems to be resize to any size,
regardless of the maximum file system size. This is probably an
oversight, but it does allow libparted to convert FAT16 to FAT32 file
system when resizing.
Remove this lower maximum file system size when copying and resizing,
compared to creating.
Bug 749867 - Some limits are adjusted by arcane cylinder size amount
when copying and resizing in a single operation
This commit from 2010-05-20 removed use of cylinder size increase in the
minimum, and cylinder size decrease in the maximum file system sizes
from the resize/move dialog.

Add partition alignment option to align to MiB (#617409)
This cylinder size limit adjustments were being performed using the

unnecessarily set. Move BUF from the common base class into the
Dialog_Partition_Copy class where it is still used.

The function never modifies any member variables so make it a const
member function.
(FileSystem::get_custom_text() is a virtual function so can't be made
static).
Rename a couple of GParted_Core methods for consistency and to better
distinguish get_filesystem() from get_filesystems() which do completely
unrelated things.
get_filesystem() -> detect_filesystem()
recognise_filesystem_signature() -> detect_filesystem_internal()
Also make detect_filesystem() a static member method as it doesn't use
any member variables. Requirement cascades to get_partition_path().
GParted_Core methods:
flush_device()
get_device()
get_disk()
get_device_and_disk()
destroy_device_and_disk()
commit()
commit_to_os()
settle_device()
This group of methods only call libparted API functions and run external
executables. None of them access any GParted_Core member variables.
Make them all static member functions.
These member functions are only used within the GParted_Core class and
only operate on the static member variable FILESYSTEM_MAP.
Make both functions private and also make init_filesystems() static.
The FileSystem objects stored in the FILESYSTEM_MAP are allocated once
using new in init_filesystems() but never deleted.

Bug 749036 - FileSystem objects are memory leaked in init_filesystems()
Add a partition name entry box to the Create New Partition dialog. The
entry box is greyed out (not sensitive) for partition table types which
don't support partition naming. Currently only supported for GPTs. See
Utils::get_max_partition_name_length() for details.
There was a slightly wider gap between the file system combobox row and
the label entry row when there were only three widgets on the right hand
side of the dialog. This has been removed now that there are four
widgets so that they are all evenly spaced and they line up with the
four widgets on the left hand side.
So far the partition name can be entered and previewed, but isn't yet
applied to the disk.
Bug 746214 - Partition naming enhancements
Adding a partition name entry to the Create New Partition dialog will
need access to these two Device methods: partition_naming_supported()
and get_max_partition_length(). The Set_Data() function already takes
two parameters, only_unformatted and disktype, taken from Device member
variables.
Rather than add two more parameters to the Set_Data() function pass the
Device object instead, replacing the current only_unformatted and
disktype parameters.
Bug 746214 - Partition name enhancements
Rename Gtk::Entry object entry -> filesystem_label_entry in the
Dialog_Partition_New class. This is in preparation for the introduction
of the partition name entry box in the Create New Partition dialog.
Bug 746214 - Partition name enhancements
Previously partition naming had only been implemented for gpt. Make the
code ready to support naming of the other partition table types for
which libparted supports naming. Specifically: amiga, dvh, mac and
pc98 in addition to gpt. Document issues found with some of these
partition table types, which can relatively easily been worked around.
Leave support of naming for partition table types other than gpt
disabled, mostly just to reduce ongoing testing effort, at least until
there is any user demand for it.

On a Linux Software RAID array, as opposed to a hard disk, blkid does
notice creation of the whole disk device file system. However the

This was fixed in libparted 3.1 by commit:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parted.git/commit/?id=f5c909c0cd50ed52a48dae6d35907dc08b137e88
libparted: remove has_partitions check to allow loopback partitions
Fix by deleting old partitions before creating the loop table when
compiled with a broken version of libparted. The GParted UI provides
no feedback while a new partition table is created, and with some
versions of GTK the UI become unresponsive too, so it is important to be
as fast as possible. Evaluated three different methods, deleting 15 and
22 MSDOS partitions on a physical 5400 RPM hard drive using libparted
2.4:
M1) Delete and commit one partition at a time.
Takes up to 24 seconds to delete 15 partitions. With 22 partitions
libparted always reports finding some of the partitions busy and
unable to inform the kernel about the modifications.
Too slow and doesn't work.
M2) Delete all partitions in one go and commit once.
Takes up to 1.4 seconds to delete either 15 or 22 partitions. Never
removes partitions 17 and higher from the kernel.
Doesn't work.
M3) Write GPT table (letting libparted delete any old partitions).
Takes up to 0.8 seconds to delete either 15 or 22 partitions.
Fast and works.
Use method 3 - write a GPT table thus using libparted code to inform the
kernel of the old partition deletions.
Bug 743181 - Add unpartitioned drive read-write support
Older versions of blkid don't correctly distinguish between FAT16 and
FAT32 file systems when overwriting one with the other. This effects
GParted too with these file systems on whole disk devices where only
blkid is used to recognise the contents. See previous fix for why only
blkid is used in this case:
Avoid whole disk FAT being detected as MSDOS partition table
(#743181)
Example:
# blkid -v
blkid from util-linux 2.20.1 (liblkid 2.20.0, 19-Oct-2011)
# mkdosfs -F16 -I /dev/md1
# blkid | fgrep md1
/dev/md1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" UUID="7C23-95D9" TYPE="vfat"
# mkdosfs -F32 -I /dev/md1
# blkid | fgrep md1
/dev/md1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" UUID="7F93-98F4" TYPE="vfat"
So blkid recognised the UUID changed but didn't remove the SEC_TYPE for
the FAT32 file system. See FS_Info::get_fs_type() as it uses this to
distinguish between FAT16 and FAT32. This is a caching update bug in
blkid, because telling blkid not to use the cache gets the right
results:
# blkid -c /dev/null | fgrep md1
/dev/md1: UUID="7F93-98F4" TYPE="vfat"
With testing determined that blkid from util-linux 2.23 and later are
not affected and earlier versions are affected. Mostly recently known
affected distribution is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with util-linux 2.20.1.
The straight forward fix would be to instruct blkid to not use its cache
with 'blkid -c /dev/null'. But using blkid's cache is needed to prevent
blkid hanging for minutes when trying to access a non-existent floppy
drive when the BIOS is set incorrectly. See commit:
18f863151c
Fix long scan problem when BIOS floppy setting incorrect
Instead, when using an older affected version of blkid and when blkid
cache reports a vfat file system, run blkid again bypassing the cache.
The device is known to exist and contain a vfat file system, just not
whether it is a FAT16 or FAT32 file system, so can't be a non-existent
floppy device and won't hang.
Bug 743181 - Add unpartitioned drive read-write support
When writing "loop" partition table over the top of some whole disk
device file system types GParted continued to show those whole disk
device file systems rather than the virtual unknown partition from the
"loop" partition table.
This affected btrfs, jfs, reiser4 and reiserfs. It occurred because of
several factors:
1) Libparted only zeroed the first and last 9.5 KiB (assuming 512 byte
sectors) of the device before writing a new partition table. See
ped_disk_clobber().
2) These file systems have their super blocks and therefore signatures
after the first 9.5 KiB.
3) Whole disk device file system detection is performed using blkid
before checking for a libparted "loop" partition table. See
GParted_Core::set_devices_thread().
Ref:
libparted 3.2: disk.c:ped_disk_clobber()
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parted.git/tree/libparted/disk.c?id=v3.2#n302
Fix by always erasing any possible file system signatures on the device
before creating a new "loop" partition table.
NOTE:
This is typically taking up to 0.5 seconds in my testing on a 5400 RPM
hard drive, during which time the GParted UI is hung and the create
partition table dialog shows the apply button pressed but no other
progress indication.
Bug 743181 - Add unpartitioned drive read-write support
get_device_and_disk() basically calls libparted to get a PedDevice
object representing a disk device and a PedDisk object representing a
partition table. Re-implement get_device_and_disk() using two separate
functions, get_device() and get_disk(), to get one of these objects
each.
No functionality changes with this commit. It enables future commits to
incrementally add support for whole disk devices into GParted without
needing libparted to recognise the contents and create a virtual "loop"
partition table.
Bug 743181 - Add unpartitioned drive read-write support
Need to be able to take different actions in the GParted_Core partition
manipulation methods and in Win_GParted UI methods to deal with
libparted supported partitions or whole disk devices without a partition
table. Add boolean whole_device to the partition object and set
appropriately to allow for this.
Bug 743181 - Add unpartitioned drive read-write support
Function Utils::get_filesystem_kernel_name() returns the name of the
file system as needed for use in the mount command:
mount -t TYPE DEVICE DIR
Needed because the kernel / mount name is 'hfsplus' where as libparted /
GParted, as reported by Utils::get_filesystem_string(), calls it 'hfs+'.
So far just added debugging when mounting a file system to test the
function works.
# ./gartedbin

DEBUG: (hfsplus) # mount -v /dev/sdb5 "/mnt/5"
DEBUG: (nilfs2) # mount -v /dev/sdb1 "/mnt/1"
Bug 742741 - Nilfs2 file system is unusable on RHEL/CentOS 6
For file systems which libparted recognises, when found on the whole
disk device, it reports with partition table "loop" and a partition
covering the whole disk. GParted duly displays this to the user.
For file systems which libparted doesn't recognise it reports
"unrecognised disk label". As of the latest libparted 3.2, these file
system aren't recognised and can't currently be shown when on the whole
disk device:
BitLocker, Crypt LUKS, exFAT, F2FS, LVM2 Physical Volume,
Linux Software RAID, ReFS, Reiser 4
So only when libparted doesn't recognise a file system on the whole disk
device and GParted does, either via blkid or it's internal code, display
this with partition table "none".
Bug 741430 - GParted cannot recognise LVM signature on unpartitioned

duplication. There were 5 separate copies of code to: allocate a

signature.
Bug 741430 - GParted cannot recognise LVM signature on unpartitioned

Embedded devices (Android) use GPT partition names to identify
partitions, instead of file system labels. Add support for viewing and
changing them.
As partition names are used to provide unique identification they are
never copied when copying the contents of one partition to another.
Note that GNU/Linux uses file system labels, UUIDs or device names for
identification during the boot process and afterwards so while partition
names can be used, they are optional and purely for user information.
Bug 741424 - Add support for GPT partition names
This and the following few commits rename variables, methods, classes,
etc from *label_partition* to *label_filesystem* so that the code also
reflects that it is the label of the file system that is being modified
and to separate it from the name partition operation about to be added.
enum OPERATION_LABEL_PARTITION -> OPERATION_LABEL_FILESYSTEM
Bug 741424 - Add support for GPT partition names
Only recognises ReFS file system. No other actions are supported.
Requires blkid from util-linux >= 2.24.
Bug #738471 - ReFS file system is not recognised
Helper to check whether a recognised file system type is supported by
GParted or not. Supported means there is an implementation class and
will appear in the File System Support dialog.
Make supported_filesystem() a static member function so that it can be
called without a class object so that GParted_Core::GParted_Core()
initialiser isn't called multiple times. This requires FILESYSTEM_MAP
to become a static member variable too.
Bug #738471 - ReFS file system is not recognised
get_filesystem_object() takes a constant reference to a FILESYSTEM, but
FILESYSTEM is just an enumeration. So that's a pointer to a constant
int. Just pass by value instead.
RHEL / CentOS 5.6 and later officially support ext4 file system [1].
From RHEL / CentOS 5.3 ext4 file system was included as a technology
preview. Ext4 file system tools are in a separate package e4fsprogs,
using uniquely named commands. The standard e2fsprogs commands only
support ext2 and ext3 file systems.
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb3

Bug #738706 - GParted doesn't support ext4 on RHEL/CentOS 5.x
The device combobox was getting drawn blank, then getting drawn again
with the selected device. This was happening because at the start of
Win_GParted::refresh_combo_devices() the GTK model behind the combobox,
liststore_devices, was cleared, changing the active item, causing the
combobox to get redrawn empty. After the GTK model had been repopulated
the active item was reset causing the comboxbox to get redrawn again,
now showing the selected device. Call flow:
Win_GParted::refresh_combo_devices()
liststore_devices->clear()
//Gtk::Combobox emits signal_change. Registered callbacks
//called.
Win_GParted::combo_devices_changed()
Win_GParted::Refresh_Visual()
...
...
combo_devices.set_active(current_device);
//Gtk::Combobox emits signal_change. Registered callbacks
//called.
Win_GParted::combo_devices_changed()
Win_GParted::Refresh_Visual()
...
This has always been the case, since the device combobox was first added
to GParted before version 0.1 by commit:
3a4b43e0ad
replaced deprecated OptionMenu with ComboBox ...
Fix by temporarily blocking the devices comboxbox from emitting
signal_changed while the GTK model behind the combobox is recreated.
However, since automatic selection of the largest free space was added
[1] in GParted 0.15.0, a more noticeable flashing redraw issue was
caused in which the partition graphic and partition list were both drawn
blank then redrawn fully populated. Some distributions were not
affected by this at all, some only experienced a single flash and others
suffered from two or more flashing redraws. Some affected
distributions: CentOS 5.10, 6.5, 7.0, Debian 6, Fedora 14, 19, 20,
Ubuntu 13.10, Xubuntu 14.04 LTS. Did not occur on Kubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Select largest unallocated partition by default (#667365)
Bug #696149 - Double refresh of display introduced with default
unallocated space
Remove HAVE_LIBPARTED_3_1_0_PLUS definition and replace Autoconf
check for libparted >= 3.1
Currently uses custom check which compiles an executable to check for
libparted version >= 3.1 to determine the availability of the library
parted-fs-resize and the need to include the header <parted/filesys.h>.
Change to use a direct Autoconf check to determine the availability of
the ped_file_system_resize() function in the parted-fs-resize library.
Remove inclusion of the header <parted/filesys.h> as it has always been
included via <parted/parted.h>, at least as far back as parted 1.8.0,
and even in parted 3.0 when ped_file_system_resize() and libparted file
system resize capability didn't exist.
Bug #734718 - Update Autoconf version specific libparted checks and
defines to feature specific ones
While one partition is busy, reformat another partition from the command
line. Afterwards parted/libparted still detects the original file
system and GParted shows errors from the file system specific tools
reporting the new file system doesn't exist. Only limitation is that
the new new file system must be recognised by libparted (or by GParted's
fallback file system signature detection).

# btrfs filesystem show /dev/sdb2
and GParted reports this error for partition /dev/sdb2:
Unable to read the contents of this file system!
Because of this some operations may be unavailable.
The cause might be a missing software package.
The following list of software packages is required for btrfs
file system support: btrfs-tools.
This is another case of libparted reading from the whole disk device
(/dev/sdb) yet the file system tools use the partition specific block
device (/dev/sdb2), and the Linux buffer cache not providing cache
coherency. Previous scenario was fixed with:
797f0b8eeb
Flush device after wiping a file system (#688882)
This affects libparted 2.0 to 3.1 inclusive and is fixed by:

Fix by calling ped_device_sync() to guarantee cache coherency for each
device during scanning.
Bug #723842 - GParted resizes the wrong filesystem (does not pass the
devid to btrfs filesystem resize)
With linux 3.5 and later, the device used to mount a btrfs file system
is updated in /proc/mounts when the previous mounting device is removed
from the file system. Most recent distributions make /etc/mtab a
symbolic link to /proc/mounts. However some still have /etc/mtab as a
plain file only updated by mount and umount, thus showing the old device
name which is no longer part of the file system.
On Ubuntu 13.10, which has /etc/mtab as a plain file managed by mount
and umount:
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb1
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/1
# btrfs device add /dev/sdb2 /mnt/1
# btrfs device delete /dev/sdb1 /mnt/1
# sync
# btrfs filesystem show /dev/sdb1
# btrfs filesystem show /dev/sdb2
Label: none uuid: e47775a6-e5ad-4fb4-9ea4-1570aa5b4009
Total devices 2 FS bytes used 28.00KB
devid 2 size 2.00GB used 272.00MB path /dev/sdb2
# fgrep btrfs /proc/mounts
/dev/sdb2 /mnt/1 btrfs rw,relatime,space_cache 0 0
# ls -l /etc/mtab
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 842 Apr 15 19:41 /etc/mtab
# fgrep btrfs /etc/mtab
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/1 btrfs rw 0 0
This causes GParted to report /dev/sdb1 as busy and mounted at /mnt/1
when it is no longer mounted. This effects recent releases of Ubuntu,
13.04, 13.10 and 14.04.
Either /etc/mtab is a symlink and is identical to /proc/mounts or
/etc/mtab is a plain file with wrong information. Fix by not reading
mounted file systems from /etc/mtab.
However old distributions only contain 'rootfs' and '/dev/root' device
names for the / (root) file system with '/dev/root' being a block device
rather than a symlink to the true device. For example from CentOS 5.x:
# fgrep ' / ' /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0
# ls -l /dev/root
brw------- 1 root root 8, 3 Jun 4 2013 /dev/root
This prevents identification, and therefore busy detection, of the
device containing the / (root) file system. Used to read /etc/mtab to
get the root file system device name.
# fgrep ' / ' /etc/mtab
/dev/sda3 / ext3 rw 0 0
# ls -l /dev/sda3
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 3 Jun 4 2013 /dev/sda3
As per commit:
409096f739
improved scanning for root mountpoint (/) ...
but, as discussed above, this contains an out of date device name after
the mounting device has been dynamically removed from a multi-device
btrfs, thus identifying the wrong device as busy. Instead fall back to
reading mounted file systems from the output of the mount command, but
only when required.
# mount | fgrep ' / '
/dev/sda3 on / type ext3 (rw)
Bug #723842 - GParted resizes the wrong filesystem (does not pass the
devid to btrfs filesystem resize)
Linux can only show a single device name in /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab
for each mounted btrfs, even if it is a multi-device file system. So
GParted only shows a mount point for one of the devices in the btrfs, no
matter how many devices are part of the file system.
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2
# btrfs filesystem show /dev/sdb1
Label: none uuid: 36eb51a2-2927-4c92-820f-b2f0b5cdae50

# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/1
# grep btrfs /proc/mounts
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/1 btrfs rw,seclabel,relatime,ssd,space_cache 0 0
GParted only shows the mount point for /dev/sdb1 as /mnt/1, but nothing
for /dev/sdb2.
Make GParted report the same mount point for all devices included in a
multi-device btrfs file system.
Add btrfs specific get_mount_device() method to report the mounting
device, if any, for the btrfs file system in the occupying the device in
question. Uses the existing cache of btrfs file system device
membership. Also extract common code from GParted_Core::
set_mountpoints() into set_mountpoints_helper().
Bug #723842 - GParted resizes the wrong filesystem (does not pass the
devid to btrfs filesystem resize)
Busy detection of file systems works by checking if the device is
mounted (appears in the mount_info map). For a multi-device btrfs file
system this will only report one of the devices as busy, not all of
them.
# btrfs filesystem show /dev/sdb1

# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/1
# grep btrfs /proc/mounts
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/1 btrfs rw,seclabel,relatime,ssd,space_cache 0 0
GParted will only report /dev/sdb1 as busy, but not /dev/sdb2.
Add btrfs specific is_busy() method which reports the device as busy if
any of the devices in the btrfs file system are mounted. This uses a
cache which maps device membership in all btrfs file systems. The cache
is cleared on GParted refresh and incrementally populated as each btrfs
partition is checked for busy status.
WARNING:
Removal of the mounting device from a btrfs file system makes it
impossible to determine whether the file system is mounted or not for
linux <= 3.4. This is because /proc/mounts continues to show the old
device which is no longer a member of the file system.

Bug #723842 - GParted resizes the wrong filesystem (does not pass the
devid to btrfs filesystem resize)
Add static member function GParted_Core::is_dev_mounted() so that other
modules can determine if a particular partition contains a mounted file
system or not.
Make it a static member function so that it can be called without
needing the gparted_core object. Extend to make the group of
manipulated variables (mount_info, fstab_info) and manipulating
functions (init_maps(), read_mountpoints_from_file(),
read_mountpoints_from_file_swaps(), get_all_mountpoints()) static too.
Bug #723842 - GParted resizes the wrong filesystem (does not pass the
devid to btrfs filesystem resize)
GParted's primary inbuilt busy detection method is "is the partition
mounted?". A custom method is used for LVM2 PV because its not a
mounted file system.
Make busy detection selectable per file system type.
.fs.busy = FS::NONE (default)
No busy detection.
.fs.busy = FS::GPARTED
Use internal GParted method which checks if the partition is
mounted.
.fs.busy = FS:EXTERNAL
Call the file system type's member function is_busy().
LVM2 PV busy detection changes from a special case to just electing to
call the lvm2_pv::is_busy() method. Linux Software RAID remains a
special case because it's only recognised, but not otherwise supported.

The use after free across threads only happens when an external program
is being executed from a thread other than the main() thread. This is
because by default glib registered callbacks are run by the glib main
loop, which is only called from the main() thread with Gtk::Main::run().
Event sequence:
tid=2193 tid=2202
main()
...
GParted_Core::set_devices()
Glib::Thread::create(... set_devices_thread ...)
Gtk::Main::run() GParted_Core::set_devices_thread()

//eof reached
[1] signal_eof.emit()
return status.exit_status
[2] PipeCapture::~PipeCapture()
[3] return false
[4] pc->sourceid = 0
What is happening is that the PipeCapture destructor [2] is running in
the set_devices_thread() thread and freeing the object's memory as soon
as signal_eof.emit() [1] has been called. Then signal_eof.emit()
returns back to OnReadable() which then returns false [3] back to the
_OnReadable() callback function which then assigns 0 to sourceid member
variable [4] in the already freed object, detected by valgrind as:
Invalid write of size 4
at ... GParted::PipeCapture::_OnReadable(...) (PipeCapture.cc:56)
This is happening because PipeCapture member variable sourceid is being
saved, in a different thread, just so the _OnReadable() callback can be
removed. However a glib IOChannel callback, type GIOFunc(), returning
false will be automatically removed.
GLib Reference Manual 2.26 / IO Channels
https://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.26/glib-IO-Channels.html#GIOFunc
GIOFunc()
Returns : the function should return FALSE if the event source
should be removed
Therefore fix by just not saving the event sourceid at all, and not
calling g_source_remove() to manually remove the callback, but instead
letting glib automatically remove the callback when it returns false.
Bug #731752 - Write after free cross thread race in
PipeCapture::_OnReadable()
OperationDetail was storing its children in a std::vector. This means they
can be moved around in memory arbitrarily, going through indeterminate
lifetimes. This is generally a bad thing for any non trivial object and
in the case of OperationDetail, it created havoc with the way it maintains
pointers between parent/child objects for signal connections. It will now
keep only pointers to children in a std::vector instead, so their lifetime
can be controlled, fixing various crashes.
Bug 729139 - Refactor OperationDetail to address random behavior
As part of the work on bug 652044 - uses deprecated APIs, selectable
vertical alignment was defaulted to ALIGN_CENTER for all labels. The
relevant commits can be viewed in comment 26 of said bug report.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652044#c26
For multi-line labels a vertical ALIGN_CENTER value is not
consistently aesthetically pleasing. This becomes obvious when a
single-line heading label is paired with a multi-line value label.
To improve the aesthetics, a vertical alignment of ALIGN_TOP is
preferred.
Hence re-add the ability to optionally specify a vertical alignment for
labels. If a yalign value is not specified a default vertical alignment
of ALIGN_CENTER is used.
Make the dialog resizable, add a vertical scrollbar to the information
and messages section, and set the initial height to ensure the dialog
fits entirely on an 800x600 screen.
A default height is required because some window managers, such as
fluxbox used in GParted Live, only permit resizing the height by using
the bottom corners of the dialog. If the dialog is too large for the
screen then the user would not be able to resize it.
Note that two default initial heights are used in an effort to minimize
the amount of extra whitespace.

Remove GParted_Core::p_filesystem (#683149)
set_proper_filesystems() used to set GParted_Core::p_filesystem member
variable to one of the FileSystem objects, but that was just treating it
like a local variable. After the commit local variables named
p_filesystem were used where required and set_proper_filesystem() became
a function which did nothing other than call get_filesystem_object().
Now remove set_proper_filesystem() altogether and use
get_filesystem_object() in its place.
Use e2image features added in e2fsprogs 1.42.9 to move/copy
an ext[234] file system more efficiently by skipping unused blocks.
Fall back to the internal copy algorithm if e2image is not found
or does not support move/copy.
Bug #721516 - Use e2image to move/copy ext[234] filesystems

Bug #723232 - BitLocker Disk Encryption not recognised
Restore the order of the source files so that they are once again
compiled in order A-Z, a-z. Order is obtained with:
fgrep .cc src/Makefile.am | LANG=C sort
fgrep .h include/Makefile.am | LANG=C sort
Make the dialog resizable, add a vertical scrollbar and set the minimum
(and therefore initial) height to 500 pixels. This is so that the
dialog entirely fits on an 800x600 screen, thus allowing the rescan
button to be pressed.
100 pixel difference is to account for the size of the top and bottom
GNOME 2 panels and two sets of title bars. Two sets of title bars
because the window manager tries to place the top of dialog title bars
in line with the bottom of the main window title bar.
Bug #342682 - too much information in 'features' dialog
