2017-06-28Change error handling to new packageJoe Richey joerichey@google.com
This commit changes the error handing for the crypto, filesystem, metadata, pam, and util packages to use the error handling library github.com/pkg/errors. This means elimination of the FSError type, an increased use of wrapping errors (as opposed to logging), switching on the Cause() of an error (as opposed to its value), and improving our integration tests involving TEST_FILESYSTEM_ROOT. This commit also fixes a few bugs with the keyring code to ensure that our {Find|Remove|Insert}PolicyKey functions are always operating on the same keyring. The check for filesystem support has been moved from the filesystem package to the metadata package. Finally, the API for the filesystem package has been slightly modified: * filesystem.AllFilesystems() now returns all the filesystems in sorted order * certain path methods are now public O_SYNC is also removed for writing the metadata. We don't get that much from syncing the metadata, as the actual file data could also be corrupted by and IO error. The sync operation is also occasionally very slow (~3 seconds) and can be unfriendly to battery life. Change-Id: I392c2655141714b16dfdbc84ac09780072be2cf0
2017-05-31filesystem: creating the directories and filesJoe Richey joerichey@google.com
This commit adds in the filesystem subpackage. The goal of this package is to provide and interface for adding to and removing from the metadata storage for a given filesystem. This is primarily done in filesystem.go. To facilitate this functionality, mountpoint.go exposes an interface for querying the system about the current mounted filesystems and their information. Note that this operation is done with a lazy loading mechanism. To refer to other filesystems, we use link files that can be parsed by libblkid. The README is also updated to account for this new dependancy. This package uses the FSError type under the hood so that error messages will include the filesystem name, but callers can still check for specific error instances.
