gvfs commit b358ca "Make sure metadata is always returned by
query_writable_namespaces()" changed the
query_writable_namespaces vfunc to never return NULL, but the error
checking in g_daemon_file_query_writable_namespaces still assumes vfunc
failure implies NULL return value and GError set. This causes a memory
leak as on failure the GError will be set but the vfunc implementation
will have created its own default list so NULL will not be returned, and
the GError will never be cleared.
This commit directly checks if the GError is set to detect failures,
my_error is directly dereferenced in the error block anyway.
This also removes an unneeded call to g_file_attribute_info_new(); as
the vfunc always returns us a non-NULL GFileAttributeInfoList.

In g_file_make_directory_with_parents(), the my_error variable is used
for several different purposes throughout the whole function, not all of
which are obvious. This explains the situation with some comments.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719455
So shortcut it.
I wrote this patch less as a performance optimization and more as a
clarification, so that people looking at the code can be assured of this
invariant.

A critical message is printed when a parameter of g_file_equal() is not
a GFile. When we read the documentation before this commit, we can think
that passing NULL or another type than GFile is allowed, but it is not
the case.
Another option is to allow NULL parameters. But for consistency with
e.g. g_str_equal(), it's probably better to keep the code as is.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732357
Add a note to the documentation for g_file_new_for_commandline_arg()
that this function is intended to operate on strings already in the GLib
filename encoding on Windows.
This has been the case for a long time, but this documents the
requirement.

Usually async methods copy/ref its arguments so caller can
forget about them. g_file_replace_contents_async() and
g_output_stream_write_async() are exceptions.

Assume unix platforms support the original POSIX.1 standard.
Specifically, assume that if G_OS_UNIX, then we have chown(),
getcwd(), getgrgid(), getpwuid(), link(), <grp.h>, <pwd.h>,
<sys/types.h>, <sys/uio.h>, <sys/wait.h>, and <unistd.h>.
Additionally, since all versions of Windows that we care about also
have <sys/types.h>, we can remove HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H checks everywhere.
Also remove one include of <sys/times.h>, and the corresponding
configure check, since the include is not currently needed (and may
always have just been a typo for <sys/time.h>).

It's not difficult to do; not all backends implement it, and for some
it may be difficult to implement query_info_on_read(), so let's just
do both.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706254
In the real_..._async wrapper for GFile.measure_disk_usage, skip the
wrapping of the progress callback in the case that the user gave a NULL
callback to the async function. This is a performance improvement
because the sync version won't have to do continuous sampling of the
clock to issue a call to the wrapper which will then do nothing.
Unfortunately, I made this simplifying assumption when writing the
wrapper, but forgot to actually implement it when making the sync call.
As a result, the wrapper is still called, and invokes the NULL callback,
causing a segfault.
Make sure we pass NULL if the user's callback was NULL.

Previously, g_file_copy() would (on Unix) create files with the
default mode of 644. For applications which might at user request
copy arbitrary private files such as ~/.ssh or /etc/shadow, a
world-readable copy would be temporarily exposed.
This patch is suboptimal in that it *only* fixes g_file_copy()
for the case where both source and destination are instances of
GLocalFile on Unix.
The reason for this is that the public GFile APIs for creating files
allow very limited control over the access permissions for the created
file; one can either say a file is "private" or not. Fixing
this by adding e.g. g_file_create_with_attributes() would make sense,
except this would entail 8 new API calls for all the variants of
_create(), _create_async(), _replace(), _replace_async(),
_create_readwrite(), _create_readwrite_async(), _replace_readwrite(),
_replace_readwrite_async(). That can be done as a separate patch
later.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699959
Previously, we called g_file_query_info() *again* on the source at the
very end of the copy. This has the lame semantics that if the source
happened to be deleted, we would fail to apply attributes to the
destination. This could even be a security flaw.
This commit changes things so that we query info from the source
*stream* after opening - i.e. on Unix we use the proper fstat() and
friends. That way we operate more atomically.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699959
In the *_async_thread() functions, call the corresponding synchronous
function instead of calling the interface vfunc, which can be NULL.
In some cases the check for the vfunc == NULL was done, but to be
consistent it is better to always call the synchronous version (and the
code is simpler).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=548353
We need to close the stream *before* applying the file modes, because
g_file_replace() allocates a temporary file. At the moment we're
applying the modes to the extant file, then immediately rename()ing
over it with the default perms.
This regressed with commit 166766a89f.
The real fix here is to have g_file_create_with_info() so that we can
atomically create a file with the permissions we want.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696014
There are two benefits to this:
1) We can centralize any operating system specific knowledge of
close-vs-EINTR handling. For example, while on Linux we should never
retry, if someone cared enough later about HP-UX, they could come by
and change this one spot.
2) For places that do care about the return value and want to provide
the caller with a GError, this function makes it convenient to do so.
Note that gspawn.c had an incorrect EINTR loop-retry around close().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682819
Ok, this function was just an awful mess before. Now the problem
domain is not trivial, and I won't claim this new code is *beautiful*,
but it should fix the bug at hand, and be somewhat less prone to
failure for the next person who tries to modify it. There's only one
unref call for each object now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692408
When an error occurs while reading the file input stream in
g_file_load_contents (e.g. because the operation was cancelled), the
code is correctly calling g_task_return_error(), but in the callback
from the close operation, g_task_return_boolean() will be called again.
Code that cleans up its state in the async callback will then be called
twice, leading to invalid memory access.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692202
The attached patch adds support for the btrfs "clone" ioctl which
makes Copy-on-Write reflinks, resulting in cheap O(1) copies when
source/destination are on the same filesystem. The ioctl itself is
quite straightforward, and GNU coreutils has had support since 7.5
(--reflink=auto --sparse=auto).
The ioctl only operates on regular files and symlinks, and always
follows symlinks; checks have been added accordingly.
This patch would be very useful for everyone who uses btrfs
filesystems (Meego folks for instance). On systems that don't have
btrfs, or if the the source is not on a btrfs filesystem, the ioctl
returns EINVAL, and the fallback code is triggered. Hence this will
cause no problems for non-btrfs users.

Add a new GFileMonitorFlag: G_FILE_MONITOR_WATCH_HARD_LINKS. When set,
changes made to the file via another hard link will be detected.
Implement the new flag for the inotify backend.

Add a pair of new APIs: one to GFile to create a new file from a
commandline arg relative to a given cwd and one to
GApplicationCommandLine to create a GFile from an arg, relative to the
cwd of the invoking commandline.

Reimplement gioscheduler in terms of GTask, and deprecate the original
gioscheduler methods. Update docs to point people to GTask rather than
gioscheduler and GSimpleAsyncResult, but don't actually formally
deprecate GSimpleAsyncResult yet.

When creating a directory fails for some reason other than
the parent not existing, don't clear the error before we try
to propagate it.
To reproduce, run 'ostadmin init' on /ostree or otherwise try to
run the function on a directory with a parent directory where the
current user is not allowed to write.

This looks like it was stubbed out but not implemented; the vtable
entry dates to commit 3781343738 which
is just alex's initial merge of gio into glib.
I was working on some code that wants an asynchronous rm -rf
equivalent, and so yeah, this is desirable.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680760
Finish deprecating the "handle GSimpleAsyncResult errors in the
wrapper function" idiom (and protect against future GSimpleAsyncResult
deprecation warnings) by adding a "legacy" GAsyncResult method
to do it in those classes/methods where it had been traditionally
done.
(This applies only to wrapper methods; in cases where an _async
vmethod explicitly uses GSimpleAsyncResult, its corresponding _finish
vmethod still uses g_simple_async_result_propagate_error.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667375https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661767
Originally, the standard idiom with GSimpleAsyncResult was to handle
all errors in the _finish wrapper function, so that vmethods only had
to deal with successful results. But this means that chaining up to a
parent _finish vmethod won't work correctly. Fix this by also checking
for errors in all the relevant vmethods. (We have to redundantly check
in both the vmethod and the wrapper to preserve compatibility.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667375https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661767
The "mainloop_barrier" in copy_async_thread() is unnecessary, since
the g_simple_async_result_complete_in_idle() will be queued after all
of the g_io_scheduler_job_send_to_mainloop_async()s, and sources with
the same priority will run in the order in which they were queued.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661767
The logic here is pretty twisted, but basically we were leaking a ref
for each non-existent parent. The clearest way to fix this was to
move to more explicit refcounting logic; when a variable is pointing
to an object, it holds a ref.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675446
g_file_set_attribute() also permits a NULL value for value_p, and requires it
to be NULL to unset it. Also fix the wrong variable name in the documentation.

g_file_make_directory_with_parents() will fail for already

_GNU_SOURCE must be defined before including any other (system)
header, so defining it in glib-unix.h (and hoping no one has included
anything else before that) is wrong. And the "#define _USE_GNU"
workaround for this problem in gnetworkingprivate.h is even wronger
(and still prone to failure anyway due to single-include guards).
Fix this by defining _GNU_SOURCE in config.h when building against
glibc. In theory this is bad because new releases of glibc may include
symbols that conflict with glib symbols, which could then cause
compile failures. However, most people only see new releases of glibc
when they upgrade their distro, at which point they also generally get
new releases of gcc, which have new warnings/errors to clean up
anyway.

Move all the annotations over from gobject-introspection.
They will not be used directly by the introspection scanner for now,
instead they will be extracted by a script and updated manually
until introspection is properly integrated into the glib build
The (linux specific) system call splice can be
used to transfer data between file descriptors
whitout copying them into user space.
See bug #604086 for additional details.
Note: Since we export types with Iface in the name rather than
Interface we have to use some typedefs to make this work. New
interfaces should probably use Interface as the public name.
For details, see bug 587482. The new api:
- Provide new _with_operation() variants of all unmount and eject methods
- Add GMountOperation::show-processes signal
- this can be used to show processes blocking an unmount operation
- Deprecate all unmount and eject methods
- Add g_drive_can_start_degraded() method
- this is to avoid auto-starting degraded drives
- Make g_drive_stop() resp. g_file_stop_mountable() take a GMountOperation
- these ops were recently added and not yet public API so it's fine
to change how they work
- Provide a way to poll mountable files, e.g. g_file_poll_mountable()
- Add some missing file attributes for mountable files
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_UNIX_DEVICE_FILE
- needed for the GDU Nautilus extensions to format a volume
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_CAN_START_DEGRADED:
- mimics g_drive_can_start_degraded()
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_CAN_POLL:
- mimics g_drive_can_poll_for_media()
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_IS_MEDIA_CHECK_AUTOMATIC
- mimics g_drive_is_media_check_automatic()
GFile allows for the possibility that external implementations may not
support thread-default contexts yet, via
g_file_supports_thread_contexts(). GVolumeMonitor is not yet
thread-default-context aware.
Add a test program to verify that basic gio async ops work correctly
in non-default contexts.

Add API for starting/stopping drives. This new API will enable
GVolumeMonitor and GVfs implementations to add support for the
following features
1. Powering down external hard disk enclosures / drives
2. Starting/stopping multi-disk devices (such as RAID/btrfs/ZFS)
3. Connecting/disconnecting iSCSI devices
4. Reacting to the user pressing e.g. the "remove drive" button on
a IBM/Lenovo Ultrabay: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ultrabay
See the bug for the corresponding GVfs and Nautilus changes.
The default implementation of g_file_copy() checked the size of the file
to copy to give useful progress updates unconditionally. This can cause
long delays on 1-connection FTP servers while it tries to open a second
connection before it returns EBUSY. This patch makes this query only
happen when we actually send progress updates.
