Jim906 7020e10ab8 userlandfs: Fix file_cache_read
* Prevent the userlandfs server from calling clone_area on an area
  that might have already been deleted.
* _HandleRequest(FileCacheReadRequest*) waits for a reply from the
  server when bytesRead > 0.  This ensures that the server has time to
  use the area holding the returned data, before that area is deleted
  when the RequestAllocator goes out of scope in the kernel add-on.
  However, if bytesRead is 0, the server will still call clone_area,
  even though by that time the area has probably been deleted.  This
  leads to a B_BAD_VALUE error when the FS tries to use the emulated
  file_cache_read at the end of a file, which differs from the
  normal behavior of file_cache_read.
* _HandleRequest(ReadFromIORequestRequest*) has similar logic in that
  it waits for a server reply, but not if size == 0.  It's possible
  that a similar problem could occur here. This test can be
  dropped if no requests with size 0 are ever sent from the server to
  begin with.
* For other _HandleRequest overrides, the kernel never waits for a
  server reply, and this causes no problems.  This could be because the
  size of data returned fits in the port buffer, so no external area
  needs to be created by RequestAllocator::AllocateAddress.

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!
