parking_lot provides synchronization primitives which aren't
poisoned on panic. This makes it easier to determine which tests
are failing, as a test failure no longer causes all subsequent tests
using that mutex to fail.
For many of Nix's consumers it be convenient to easily convert a Nix
error into a std::io::Error. That's currently not possible because of
the InvalidPath, InvalidUtf8, and UnsupportedOperation types that have
no equivalent in std::io::Error.
However, very few of Nix's public APIs actually return those unusual
errors. So a more useful API would be for Nix's standard error type to
implement Into<std::io::Error>.
This commit makes Error a simple NewType around Errno. For most
functions it's a drop-in replacement. There are only three exceptions:
* clearenv now returns a bespoke error type. It was the only Nix
function whose error couldn't be cleanly mapped onto an Errno.
* sys::signal::signal now returns Error(Errno::ENOTSUP) instead of
Error::UnsupportedOperation when the user passes an incompatible
argument to `handler`.
* When a NixPath exceeds PATH_MAX, it will now return
Error(Errno::ENAMETOOLONG) instead of Error::InvalidPath.
In the latter two cases there is now some abiguity about whether the
error code was generated by Nix or by the OS. But I think the ambiguity
is worth it for the sake of being able to implement Into<io::Error>.
This commit also introduces Error::Sys() as a migration aid. Previously
that as an enum variant. Now it's a function, but it will work in many
of the same contexts as the original.
Fixes#1155
Travis has been super-slow lately (> 6 hours per build). Cirrus is much
faster: about 20 minutes. Cirrus also has slightly better test
coverage, mainly because it doesn't use SECCOMP.
Also,
* Fix the Redox CI build. The old Travis configuration didn't actually
build for Redox, so we never noticed that Redox can't be built with a
stable compiler. Thanks to @coolreader18 for finding this.
* Disable the udp_offload tests on cross-tested platforms. These tests
are failing with ENOPROTOOPT in Cirrus-CI. I suspect it's due to a
lack of support in QEMU. These tests were skipped on Travis because
its kernel was too old.
* Fix require_kernel_version on Cirrus-CI. Cirrus reports the Linux
kernel version as 4.19.112+, which the semver crate can't handle.
* Fix test_setfsuid on Cirrus. When run on Cirrus, it seems like the
file in /tmp gets deleted as soon as it's closed. Probably an
overzealous temporary file cleaner. Use /var/tmp, because no
temporary file cleaner should run in there.
* Skip mount tests on Cirrus. They fail for an unknown reason.
Issue #1351
* Skip the AF_ALG tests on Cirrus-CI
Issue #1352
* kmod tests must run exclusively, because they load and unload a module
with a constant name.
* A few tests were doing some variant of chdir, but weren't taking the
CWD_MTX.
* The kmod tests read files by path relative to CWD, so they need the
CWD_MTX. But they don't need it exclusively, so convert the CWD_MTX
into an RwLock.
* Tests that do change the cwd need to change it back when they're done.
It's not sufficient to check for root privileges, because a
containerized process may have root's euid but still lack important
capabilities. Fix these tests by checking for the CAP_SYS_MOD
capability.
