  1. Nachos Instructional OS: Part 3B CS 170, Tao Yang

  2. Topics • File system implementation. • Assignment 3B for File system extension

  3. Nachos Kernel Read/write Nachos File System Linux openFile objects openFile objects openFile objects SynchDisk • Two versions: • A ``stub'' version is simply a front-end to the Linux. • A Nachos version implemented on top of a raw disk. • Function layers (from top to down): • FileSystem object • Directory support. • File control block (I-node) support • Free block map • OpenFile objects (many) • Created by every call to open/access a file in a directory. • SynchDisk object • Created by synchDisk = new SynchDisk("DISK") in system.cc • The Disk object. • Created by disk = new Disk(name,..) in SynchDisk::SynchDisk() Disk

  4. Nachos Kernel Read/write Disk Size openFile objects SynchDisk • Machine/disk.h #define SectorSize 128 // number of bytes per disk sector #define SectorsPerTrack 32 // number of sectors per disk track #define NumTracks 32 // number of tracks per disk #define NumSectors (SectorsPerTrack * NumTracks) // total # of sectors per disk Disk

  5. File System Layers in Nachos FreeMap Bitmap for 32x32 disk sectors Nachos kernel thead Directory: Manage a directory of file names FileSystem: Directory management file create/open/delete FileHeader: i-node (File control block) OpenFile: access individual file with read/write/seek. Operate on bytes. SynchDisk: synchronous access to a disk with concurrent threads. Operate on sectors. Disk: low-level interface that initiates asynchronous IO to physical disk sectors Base Operating System (Linux for our class)

  6. Operations of File System Object • FileSystem(bool format). • called once at ``boot'' time. • For the stub version, just use Unix file system • Otherwise create a directory/control info. • Sector 0 is fileheader (i-node) for FreeMap. • Sector 1 is i-node for directory table. • Create(char *name, int initialSize). • Create a Nachos disk file. ``initialSize'' is ignored in the stub version; Unix doesn't require it. • OpenFile *Open(char *name). • Assume both read and write access. • in the stub version, Open simply opens the Unix file. • Remove(char *name) • List()

  7. Directory Object contains 10 DirectoryEntry objects (directory.h) • Directory content has 10 table entries.  fit into a 128B sector. • Stored in Sector 1 • Directory space is allocated in FileSystem() during initialization … Bool inUse --- is this entry used? Int sector --- location of file header (i-node) Filename -- 9 characters+ 1 for ‘\n’ 128 bytes …

  8. memory directory.cc Disk Directory Directory Block • Limit • FileNameMaxLen 9 // 9 characters at most for a file name • NumDirEntries 10 // at most 10 files • Directory Object attributes • tableSize -- # of directory entries which is 10 now. • table = in-memory directory entries, each of which is for one Nachos file. Content is copied from and copies back to a disk DirectoryFile. • Operations • Directory (int size) -- Create an in-memory directory of the desired size. • FetchFrom (OpenFile *file) -- Fetch disk DirectoryFile that contains directory entries, and copy to in-memory directory table. • WriteBack(OpenFile *file) -- Write back in-memory directory content to disk DirectoryFile • called every time when a file is added or removed to directory. • FindIndex (Char *name) --Search a file string name in a directory • Add (Char *name, int sector) – Add file name into a directory with disk sector no that contains the file header (i-node). • Remove(char *name) – remove a file.

  9. memory filehdr.h: File header (File control block, i-node) Disk File control block File header … int numBytes; // file size int numSectors; //sectors used • Fit in one sector (128 bytes) • Operations • Allocate(BitMap *bitMap, int fileSize); • FetchFrom (int SectorNo) -- Fetch Fileheader sector from disk. • WriteBack(int SectorNo) -- Write back in-memory file header content to disk • ByteToSector(int offset) –Convert a file offset in bytes to a sector no Data sector int dataSectors[NumDirect] Data sector pointer 0 Data sector Data sector pointer 1 … Data sector Data sector pointer 29

  10. Nachos Kernel Read/write OpenFile Object openFile objects openFile objects openFile objects SynchDisk • OpenFile(int sector) • sector – disk location of file control block. • Load FCB from disk create an in-memory OpenFile object • Seek(int position) • Read/write in the current position • Read(char *buffer, int numBytes) • Write(char *buffer, int numBytes) • Read/write in a specific position • ReadAt(char *buffer, int numBytes, int FilePosition). • Identify specific sectors in the file and fetch them, copy to buffer. • WriteAt(char *buffer, int numBytes, int FilePosition) • May read partially written sectors first, and then write out updated sectors. • Length(). Return the file size. Memory Disk File control block OpenFile Obj

  11. Nachos Kernel Read/write SynchDisk Object: Synchronously access a disk openFile objects SynchDisk • Filesys/synchDisk.cc • SynchDisk () • Called only once to create a physical disk object. Set the disk interrput hander as RequstDone(). • Create lock/semaphore for synchronization. • Notice that physical disk is an asynchronous device (disk requests return immediately, and an interrupt happens later on). • ReadSector(int sectorNumber, char* buffer) • Send a read request for a sector • Wait IO complete (wait for interrupt using a semaphone) • WriteSector(int sectorNumber, char* data) • Send a sector write request. Wait for interrupt. • RequestDone() • Disk interrupt handler. Wake up any thread waiting for the disk request to finish.

  12. Nachos Kernel Read/write Disk Object openFile objects SynchDisk • Machine/disk.h and disk.cc • Simulates the behavior of a disk I/O device. • a single platter, with multiple tracks (32). • Each track contains 32 sectors • Each sector is 128 bytes • Disk size = 32x32*128 =128K • Asynchronous read/write with an option of disk cache • Supported operations: • Disk(char *name, VoidFunctionPtr callWhenDone, int callArg) • Create a disk: just create a Unix file to simulate. • Setup a handling function (RequestDone in SynchDisk.cc) when a read/write request is done. Disk 128K

  13. Nachos Kernel Read/write Operations in Disk device openFile objects SynchDisk • ReadRequest(int sectorNumber, char *buffer) • Read from the specific location of the “physical disk”. • ticks = ComputeLatency(sectorNumber, FALSE); • interrupt->Schedule(DiskDone, (int) this, ticks, DiskInt); • WriteRequest(int sectorNumber, char *data) • Write data to specific location of the “physical disk”. • ticks = ComputeLatency(sectorNumber, TRUE); • interrupt->Schedule(DiskDone, (int) this, ticks, DiskInt); • ComputeLatency(int newSector, bool writing) • Latency= seek time + rotation time Disk

  14. Assignment 3B Workload • Test C programs ~cs170/nachos-projtest/proj3 • Part B. ~200 in filesys (few in userprog) • Part A and B can be done in parallel • Part B may use Project 2 code without VM. • Work on filesys subdirectoy mainly. • And change system call handling code in userprog if needed (to use this extended file system). • Extend the size of each file from 4K to 100K • single indirect pointers in i-node (file control block).

  15. Emphasis of Project 3B •  Play tradeoffs • Understand the design options • Deadline-driven approach • Choose something simpler and easier to do first. • Still not enough time? • Complete with minimal efforts to pass the tests. • Hidden tests are very similar to public test cases. No complex test cases. • You are good as long as your code can run virtual memory>physical, can support files up to 100K. • Interpret the requirement towards your advantage if vague. If not specified, do something easy.

  16. Part B: Steps for Nachos file system extension • Understand how the Nachos file system operates and how Nachos implements files. • Modify the file system calls from Project 2 to use Nachos file system • Donot have to support VM (Part A/Part B can be done in parallel) • Modify Nachos file system so that the file size can be upto 100K

  17. Files to be modified • Directory filesys • filehdr.cc/.h • Support 30 direct data pointers • New: Support single indirect pointers in i-node and can expand the file length with more sectors allocated. • Write method ExtendFile() that allows a file to grow by certain number of sectors. • openfile.cc • Expand file length/allocate sectors when writing data at the end or beyond. • IndirectPointerBlock.cc (new file to add) This class provides a way for a file header to contain not just direct sectors, but indirect blocks that each have their individual collection of sectors. This allows the file size to exceed the usual 4K. • Directory userprog • exception.cc • Make sure file system calls use extended Nachos file system.

  18. Useful methods in IndirectPointerBlock.cc // Constructor IndirectBlock::IndirectBlock() //Writes the modified object back to the specified sector on disk. void IndirectBlock::WriteBack(int sectorNum) // Retrieves the serialized object from disk. void IndirectBlock::FetchFrom(int sectorNum) // Adds a newly allocated data sector from the file header to this indirect pointer block's list of allocated sectors. void IndirectBlock::PutSector(int sectorNum) // Removes the allocated sectors from the global map of allocated sectors. Essentially removes the data held by this indirect pointer block. void IndirectBlock::Deallocate(BitMap* allocSectorsMap) // Returns the disk sector that is corresponding the specified byte at offset from this indirect pointer block int IndirectBlock::ByteToSector(int offsetFromStartOfIB)

  19. Comparison: Unix file i-node (4K bytes per block)

  20. Step 3: Extend maximum file size • Modify the FileHeader i-node (file control block) to support 100K size. • Option 1: Include 5 data sector pointers, and 25 sectors for single indirect mapping. • At most map 5 + 25*32=805 blocks. Maximum file length = 805*128=103040bytes. • Option 2: single indirect mapping at every entry • Suggest to add a class called IndirectPointerBlock which takes 1 sector (32 entries) • FetchFrom (int sector). WriteBack(int sector). • AddSector (int sector) – add a new sector. • Deallocate(BitMap *freeMap) – deallocate all sectors. • ByteToSector (int offset). – convert an offset in bytes to a sector.

  21. Step 4: File size can grow • Modify the current implementation so that a write beyond the end of the file extends the size of the file. • Gracefully handle the case of the disk being full or maximum size is reached - the user process should not crash. Instead an error should be returned.

  22. Step 4 • Modify WriteAt() method in openfile.cc : • Case 1: Write request is within the bound of the file. Handle like the existing code • Case 2: Write request overwrites some portion of existing file and goes beyond by N bytes. • Case 3: No overwrite to the current data, but goes beyond the end of the file. Here. • To extend a file dynamically, • Extend i-node/data dynamically: include a routine in FileHeader to extend a file by N bytes (by a sector or by a set of sectors)

  23. Testing issues • Need to load user binaries/data into Nachos file system during execution • Example: $ pwd cs170/nachos/code/filesys $ ./nachos -f -cp ../test/Prog1 Prog1 -x Prog1 • Or nachos –f nachos -cp Prog1 Prog1 nachos -x Prog1 Nachos –f Linux file system Nachos file system Nachos –cp Prog1 Prog1 Nachos –x Prog1
