This conversion is unfortunate in the sense that Unix local domain sockets are relatively lightweight. LocalHost UDP sockets are much heavier weight since they rely on the full UDP stack. If anyone is up for a complete redesign, then using some shared memory and a POSIX message queue would be lightweight again.
This commit also fixes several bugs that were not testable before the inode tree deadlock. I cannot say that the logic is 100% stable but it does not have basic functionality.
Squashed commit of the following:
fs/userfs: Order locking so that access to the shared I/O buffer is also locked.
fs/userfs: Converts to use LocalHost UDP loopback for IPC.
fs/userfs: This completes coding of the UserFS client and of the UserFS feature in general. This feature is being merged to main now because I believe it is innocuous. It is, however, untesed. The next step will be to develop a test case to verify the feature.
fs/userfs: Completes the request logic for the UserFS client. Still need the logic that receives the responses.
fs/userfs: Completes coding for most of the server side of the user filesystem logic.
fs/userfs: Big design changes, simplications. Use Unix domain local sockets instead of message queues. Easier to transfer big data in local sockets than message queues. Remove character drvier 'factory' it is not necessary.
fs/userfs: Minor reparitioning; volume private info does not need to be held on the OS client side.
libc/userfs: Add some of the server side logic.
fs/userfs: Add some UserFS initialization logic.
fs/userfs: Add frame work for the UserFS proxy. Remove all references to a block driver. There is no block dricer... what was I thinking?
fs/userfs: Add some initialization of the character driver, 'factory' device.
fs/userfs: Rename from fusefs to userfs to that we don't stomp on someone else's cool name.
Add a header file describing the fusefs interface.
This happened after adding these three new procfs entries:
fs/block
fs/mount
fs/usage
Of course, there is no directory fs in this case, only three files that have fs/ in their relative pathnames. The logic was detecting that fs was the name of the enty to report, but it was then declaring that fs was a file (because fs/block is of type file).
This was fixed by adding a check for matching lenghts. i.e., if strlen(fs) != strlen(fs/block), then report fs as a directory instead of a file.
fs/mount: Implements procfs /proc/fs/blocks and /proc/fs/usage files, replacing the NSH df command.
fs/mount: Implements procfs /proc/fs/mount file, replacing the NSH mount command when there are not arguments.
fs/: Move prototype of foreach_mountpoint out of include/nuttx/fs/fs.h to fs/mount/mount.h. Add framework for the mount procfs (initial commit is just a close of the net/route table procfs.
Change all calls to mq_send() and mq_timedsend() in the OS to calls to nxmq_send() and nxmq_timedsend(), making appropriate changes for differences in return values.
sched/mqueue: Add internal function nxmq_send() and nxmq_timedsend() that are equivalent to mq_send() and mq_timedsend() except that they do not create cancellation points and do to not modify the errno variable.
Replace all calls to sigqueue() in the OS proper with calls to nxsig_queue() to avoid accessing the errno variable.
sched/signal: Add nxsig_queue() which is functionally equivalent to sigqueue() except that it does not modify the errno variable.
This is analogous to similar renaming that was done previously for semaphores.
Squashed commit of the following:
sched/signal: Fix a few compile warnings introduced by naming changes.
sched/signal: Rename all private, internal signl functions to use the nxsig_ prefix.
sched/signal: Rename sig_removependingsignal, sig_unmaskpendingsignal, and sig_mqnotempty to nxsig_remove_pendingsignal, nxsig_unmask_pendingsignal, and nxsig_mqnotempty to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_findaction and sig_lowest to nxsig_find_action and nxsig_lowest to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_allocatepingsigaction and sig_deliver to nxsig_alloc_pendingsigaction and nxsig_deliver to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_cleanup, sig_release, sig_releasependingaction, and sig_releasependingsignal to nxsig_cleanup, nxsig_release, nxsig_release_pendingaction, and nxsig_release_pendingsignal to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_tcbdispatch and sig_dispatch to nxsig_tcbdispatch and nxsig_dispatch to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_releaseaction and sig_pendingset to nxsig_release_action and nxsig_pendingset to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_initialize and sig_allocateactionblock to nxsig_initialize and nxsig_alloc_actionblock to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
This commit backs out most of commit b4747286b1. That change was added because sem_wait() would sometimes cause cancellation points inappropriated. But with these recent changes, nxsem_wait() is used instead and it is not a cancellation point.
In the OS, all calls to sem_wait() changed to nxsem_wait(). nxsem_wait() does not return errors via errno so each place where nxsem_wait() is now called must not examine the errno variable.
In all OS functions (not libraries), change sem_wait() to nxsem_wait(). This will prevent the OS from creating bogus cancellation points and from modifying the per-task errno variable.
sched/semaphore: Add the function nxsem_wait(). This is a new internal OS interface. It is functionally equivalent to sem_wait() except that (1) it is not a cancellation point, and (2) it does not set the per-thread errno value on return.
sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_post() which is identical to sem_post() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_post in the OS to nxsem_post().
sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_destroy() which is identical to sem_destroy() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_destroy() in the OS to nxsem_destroy().
libc/semaphore and sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_getprotocol() and nxsem_setprotocola which are identical to sem_getprotocol() and set_setprotocol() except that they never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_setprotocol in the OS to nxsem_setprotocol(). sem_getprotocol() was not used in the OS
libc/semaphore: Add nxsem_getvalue() which is identical to sem_getvalue() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_getvalue in the OS to nxsem_getvalue().
sched/semaphore: Rename all internal private functions from sem_xyz to nxsem_xyz. The sem_ prefix is (will be) reserved only for the application semaphore interfaces.
libc/semaphore: Add nxsem_init() which is identical to sem_init() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_init in the OS to nxsem_init().
sched/semaphore: Rename sem_tickwait() to nxsem_tickwait() so that it is clear this is an internal OS function.
sched/semaphoate: Rename sem_reset() to nxsem_reset() so that it is clear this is an internal OS function.
psock_close() and net_close() are internal OS functions and should not set the errno variable.
psock_ioctl() and netdev_ioctl() are internal OS functions and should not set the errno variable.
net_dupsd() and net_dupsd2() are internal OS functions and should not set the errno variable.
net/ and fs/: net_vfcntl(), file_fcntl(), file_dup(), and file_dup2() are all internal OS interfaces and should not modify the errno value.
net/: psock_recvfrom() is an internal interface and should not set the errno nor should it be a cancellation point.
net/: psock_accept() is not a cancellation point.
net/: psock_getsockopt() and psock_socket*9 are an internal interfaces and should not set the errno.
net/: psock_getsockopt() is an internal interface and should not set the errno.
net/: psock_listen() is an internal interface and should not set the errno.
net/: psock_connect(( is an internal interface and should not set the errno nor should it be a cancellation point.
net/: psock_bind() is an internal interface and should not set the errno.
net/: psock_accept() is an internal interface and should not set the errno.
fs/vfs:null check for path on open and buf on write
Null path check is depend on CONFIG_DEBUG_FEATURES and CONFIG_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS, added null checking so it's always performed
Added null checking on buf for write()

There are two issues with it however:
1. Reading from file system on a per packet basis could be slow. I think it probably should have a small, in-memory cache of most frequently used routes for good problem.
2. Currently the delroute logic is disabled due to a problem with the design. NuttX does not currently support truncate(). Therefore, it is not possible to delete entries from the routing table file.
In this current implementation, that leaves the last entry intact at the end of the file. An alternative design might include a tag on each record to indicate if the record is valid or not. That would work but would add complexity to the other routing table functions.
The existing implementation is available for testing purposes only if CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y.
Squashed commit of the following:
net/route: The current delroute design depends on file truncation. However, NuttX does not currently support truncate. Alternative, more complex designs are possible but not implemented. At present the file routing table are otherwise functional but the delroute logic is disabled via CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL. Enable it only if you plan to fix it.
net/route: Fix some issues with locking routing table files.
net/route: Add partial implementation of delroute for the case where the routing table is in a file.
net/route: Add support for seeking to positions in the routing table.
net/route: Add net_addroute_ipv4/6() using a file-based routing table.
net/route: Add net_foreach_ipv4/4() using a file-based routing table.
net/route: Initial build, configuration, and fs utilies to support routing tables in a file.
