- Fixed shadowed variable warnings in lfs_dir_find.
- Fixed unused parameter warnings when LFS_NO_MALLOC is enabled.
- Added extra warning flags to CFLAGS.
- Updated tests so they don't shadow the "size" variable for -Wshadow
Paths such as the following were causing issues:
/tea/hottea/.
/tea/hottea/..
Unfortunately the existing structure for path lookup didn't make it very
easy to introduce proper handling in this case without duplicating the
entire skip logic for paths. So the lfs_dir_find function had to be
restructured a bit.
One odd side-effect of this is that now lfs_dir_find includes the
initial fetch operation. This kinda breaks the fetch -> op pattern of
the dir functions, but does come with a nice code size reduction.
One of the big simplifications in littlefs's implementation is the
complete lack of tracking free blocks, allowing operations to simply
drop blocks that are no longer in use.
However, this means the lookahead buffer can easily contain outdated
blocks that were previously deleted. This is usually fine, as littlefs
will rescan the storage if it can't find a free block in the lookahead
buffer, but after changes that caused littlefs to more conservatively
respect the alloc acks (e611cf5), any scanned blocks after an ack would
be incorrectly trusted.
The fix is to eagerly scan ahead in the lookahead when we allocate so
that alloc acks are better able to discredit old lookahead blocks. Since
usually alloc acks are tightly coupled to allocations of one or two blocks,
this allows littlefs to properly rescan every set of allocations.
This may still be a concern if there is a long series of worn out
blocks, but in the worst case littlefs will conservatively avoid using
blocks it's not sure about.

Like most of the lfs_dir_t functions, lfs_dir_append is responsible for
updating the lfs_dir_t struct if the underlying directory block is
moved. This property makes handling worn out blocks much easier by
removing the amount of state that needs to be considered during a
directory update.
However, extending the dir chain is a bit of a corner case. It's not
changing the old block, but callers of lfs_dir_append do assume the
"entry" will reside in "dir" after lfs_dir_append completes.
This issue only occurs when creating files, since mkdir does not use
the entry after lfs_dir_append. Unfortunately, the tests against
extending the directory chain were all made using mkdir.

Before this patch, when calling lfs_mkdir or lfs_file_open with root
as the target, littlefs wouldn't find the path properly and happily
run into undefined behaviour.
The fix is to populate a directory entry for root in the lfs_dir_find
function. As an added plus, this allowed several special cases around
root to be completely dropped.
Using gcc cross compilers and qemu:
- make test CC="arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc --static -mthumb" EXEC="qemu-arm"
- make test CC="powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc --static" EXEC="qemu-ppc"
- make test CC="mips-linux-gnu-gcc --static" EXEC="qemu-mips"
Also separated out Travis jobs and added some size reporting
Rather than tracking all in-flight blocks blocks during a lookahead,
littlefs uses an ack scheme to mark the first allocated block that
hasn't reached the disk yet. littlefs assumes all blocks since the
last ack are bad or in-flight, and uses this to know when it's out
of storage.
However, these unacked allocations were still being populated in the
lookahead buffer. If the whole block device fits in the lookahead
buffer, _and_ littlefs managed to scan around the whole storage while
an unacked block was still in-flight, it would assume the block was
free and misallocate it.
The fix is to only fill the lookahead buffer up to the last ack.
The internal free structure was restructured to simplify the runtime
calculation of lookahead size.
- Write on read-only file to return LFS_ERR_BADF
- Renaming directory onto file to return LFS_ERR_NOTEMPTY
- Changed LFS_ERR_INVAL in lfs_file_seek to assert
- no previous prototype for ‘test_assert’
- no previous prototype for ‘test_count’
- unused parameter ‘b’ in test_count
- function declaration isn’t a prototype for main
The most useful part of -Werror is preventing code from being
merged that has warnings. However it is annoying for users who may have
different compilers with different warnings. Limiting -Werror to CI only
covers the main concern about warnings without limiting users.
Some of the tests were creating a variable `res`, however the test
system itself relies on it's own `res` variable. This worked out by
luck, but could lead to problems if the res variables were different
types.
Changed the generated variable in the test system to the less common
name `test`, which also works out to share the same prefix as other test
functions.
Found by user iamscottmoyers, this was an interesting bug with the test
system. If the new test.c file is generated fast enough, it may not have
a new timestamp and not get recompiled.
To fix, we can remove the specific files that need to be rebuilt (lfs and
test.o).
As a copy-on-write filesystem, the truncate function is a very nice
function to have, as it can take advantage of reusing the data already
written out to disk.
