The Haiku operating system
Go to file
Augustin Cavalier 0059775c1d packagefs: Make directory nodes rw_locked instead of child entries.
This saves 40 bytes from the size of Node (on 64-bit architectures.)
UnpackingDirectory is still at 200 bytes, while UnpackingLeafNode
is now 96 instead of 136. This saves ~5MB of memory on my system
(UnpackingLeafNodes go from 16.2MB to 11.2MB.)

The general strategy is for Directories to use their own locks, while
all other nodes read-lock their parent directory during use. There are
a few edge cases around node creation and removal in the case of
non-directory nodes; see inline comments in Volume's
_RemoveNodeAndVNode as well as packagefs_put_vnode.

Since it's now possible for a node's parent to change or be deleted
when we don't have the lock (but only a reference), we need a lock
protecting just that field to hold while we acquire a reference to
the parent. (Right now, this is just one static rw_lock for all Nodes;
this could be changed in the future if necessary, but it seems performant
enough for the moment.)

Tested with basic system functionality, installing/uninstalling packages,
uninstalling packages with files still in use, HaikuPorter builds, and
more. All still seems to work as expected.

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

  • Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
  • Clean, clear, concise code.
  • Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.

Contributing

Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!

Contributing code
