* rewritten by: Alexis Rosen * rewritten by: Cedric Morin for php&SPIP * * (Excerpts from Chuck's notes: * this becomes complex, due to our dear friend, the NFS mounted mail spool. * the netbsd code didn't do this properly, as far as I could tell. * * - you can't trust exclusive creating opens over NFS, the protocol * just doesn't support it. so to do a lock you have to create * a tmp file and then try and hard link it to your lock file. * - to detect a stale lock file you have to see how old it is, but * you can't use time(0) because that is the time on the local system * and the file gets the times of the NFS server. when is a lock * file stale? people seem to like 120 or 300 seconds.) * * NB: It is _critical_ that nfslock()ed files be unlocked by nfsunlock(). * Simply unlinking the lock file is a good way to trash someone else's lock * file. All it takes is for the process doing the unlink to get hung for * a few minutes when it doesn't expect it. Meanwhile, its lock expires and * a second process forces the lock and creates its own. Then the first * process comes along and kills the second process' lock while it's still * valid. * * Security considerations: * If we're root, be very careful to see that the temp file we opened is * what we think it is. The problem is that we could lose a race with * someone who takes our tmp file and replaces it with, say, a hard * link to /etc/passwd. Then, if the first lock attempt fails, we'll * write a char to the file (see 4. below); this would truncate the * passwd file. So we make sure that the link count is 1. We don't really * care about any other screwing around since we don't write anything * sensitive to the lock file, nor do we change its owner or mode. If * someone beats us on a race and replaces our temp file with anything * else, it's no big deal- the file may get truncated, but there's no * possible security breach. ...Actually the possibility of the race * ever happening, given the random name of the file, is virtually nil. * * args: path = path to directory of lock file (/net/u/1/a/alexis/.mailspool) * namelock = file name of lock file (alexis.lock) * max_age = age of lockfile, in seconds, after which the lock is stale. * stale locks are always broken. Defaults to DEFAULT_LOCKTIME * if zero. Panix mail locks go stale at 300 seconds, the default. * notify = 1 if we should tell stdout that we're sleeping on a lock * * Returns the time that the lock was created on the other system. This is * important for nfsunlock(). If the lock already exists, returns NFSL_LOCKED. * If there is some other failure, return NFSL_SYSF. If NFSL_LOCKED is * returned, errno is also set to EEXIST. If we're root and the link count * on the tmp file is wrong, return NFSL_SECV. * * Mods of 7/13/95: Change a bit of code to re-stat the lockfile after * closing it. This is to work around a bug in SunOS that appears to to affect * some SunOS 4.1.3 machines (but not all). The bug is that close() updates * the stat st_ctime field for that file. So use lstat on fullpath instead * of fstat on tmpfd. This alteration applies to both nfslock and nfslock1. * * Mod of 5/4/95: Change printf's to fprintf(stderr... in nfslock and nfslock1. * * Mods of 4/29/95: Fix freeing memory before use if a stat fails. Remove * code that forbids running as root; instead, if root, check link count on * tmp file after opening it. * * Mods of 4/27/95: Return the create time instead of the lockfile's fd, which * is useless. Added new routines nfsunlock(), nfslock_test(), nfslock_renew(). * * Mods of 1/8/95: Eliminate some security checks since this code never * runs as root. In particular, we completely eliminate the safeopen * routine. But add one check: if we _are_ root, fail immediately. * * Change arguments: take a path and a filename. Don't assume a global or * macro pointing to a mailspool. * * Add notify argument; if 1, tell user when we're waiting for a lock. * * Add max_age argument and DEFAULT_LOCKTIME. * * Change comments drastically. * */ if (!defined('_ECRIRE_INC_VERSION')) return; include_spip('inc/acces'); define('_DEFAULT_LOCKTIME',60); define('_NAME_LOCK','spip_nfs_lock'); // http://doc.spip.org/@spip_nfslock function spip_nfslock($fichier,$max_age=0) { $tries = 0; if (!$max_age) $max_age = _DEFAULT_LOCKTIME; $lock_file = _DIR_TMP . _NAME_LOCK .
