README

Filesystem

The Filesystem is responsible for ensuring that all of its supported file formats can be accessed in a threadsafe manner. It doesn't handle any persistence directly but instead relies on the underlying format's package to handle that itself. This also means that methods like Delete and Rename should not be called on the underlying types directly but be called through the Filesystem's corresponding wrappers instead.

To refer to a file or folder within the Filesystem, so-called SiaPaths are used. They are unix-like paths relative to the specified root of the Filesystem except for the fact that they don't start with a leading slash. Ideally all parts of the siad codebase only have to interact with SiaPaths instead of system paths and the Filesystem would handle all of the translations between SiaPaths and regular system paths. The Filesystem also enforces that files and folders can't share the same name.

The Filesystem is an in-memory tree-like data structure of nodes. The nodes can either be files or directories. Directory nodes potentially point to other directory nodes or file nodes while file nodes can't have any children. When opening a file or folder, the Filesystem is traversed starting from the root until the required file or folder is found, opening all the nodes on demand and adding them to the tree. The tree will be pruned again as nodes are no longer needed. To do so a special locking convention was introduced which will be explained in its own paragraph.

Locking Conventions

Due to the nature of the Filesystem custom locking conventions were required to optimize the performance of the data structure.

  • A locked child node can't grab a parent's lock
  • A locked parent can grab its children's locks
  • A parent needs to be locked before adding/removing children
  • A parent doesn't need to be locked before modifying any children

Locking like this avoids a lot of lock contention and enables us to easily and efficiently delete and rename folders.

Submodules

The Filesystem has several submodules that each perform a specific function for the Renter. This README will provide brief overviews of the submodules, but for more detailed descriptions of the inner workings of the submodules the respective README files should be reviewed.

  • SiaDir
  • SiaFile
SiaDir

The SiaDir module is the code that defines what a directory is on the Sia network. It also manages accesses and updates to the file, ensuring safety and ACIDity when performing file operations.

SiaFile

The SiaFile module is the code that defines what a file is on the Sia network. It also manages accesses and updates to the file, ensuring safety and ACIDity when performing file operations.

Subsystems

The Filesystem has the following subsystems.

Filesystem

Key Files

The Filesystem subsystem contains Filesystem specific errors, the definition for the common node type as well as all the exported methods which are called by other modules.

It is a special DirNode which acts as the root of the Filesystem, is created upon startup and is always kept in memory instead of being pruned like the other nodes. The job of the FileSystem is to translate SiaPaths into regular paths and pass calls to its exported methods on to the correct child if possible. It also implements some high level methods which might require interacting with multiple nodes like RenameDir for example.

DirNode

Key Files

The DirNode extends the common node by fields relevant to a directory. Namely children and an embedded SiaDir. The special thing about the embedded SiaDir is that it is loaded lazily. That means it will only be loaded from disk once a method is called that requires it. The SiaDir will also be removed from memory again once the DirNode is no longer being accessed. That way we avoid caching the SiaDir for too long.

FileNode

Key Files

The FileNode is similar to the DirNode but it only extends the node by a single embedded Siafile field. Apart from that it contains wrappers for the SiaFile methods which correctly modify the parent directory when the underlying file is moved or deleted.

}

FileNode is a node which references a SiaFile.

func (*FileNode) Close 

func (n *FileNode) Close() error

Close calls close on the FileNode and also removes the FileNode from its parent if it's no longer being used and if it doesn't have any children which are currently in use. This happens iteratively for all parent as long as removing a child resulted in them not having any children left.

type FileSystem 

type FileSystem struct {
	DirNode

func (fs *FileSystem) AddSiaFileFromReader(rs io.ReadSeeker, siaPath modules.SiaPath) error

AddSiaFileFromReader adds an existing SiaFile to the set and stores it on disk. If the exact same file already exists, this is a no-op. If a file already exists with a different UID, the UID will be updated and a unique path will be chosen. If no file exists, the UID will be updated but the path remains the same.

func (*FileSystem) CachedFileInfo 

func (fs *FileSystem) CachedFileInfo(siaPath modules.SiaPath) (modules.FileInfo, error)

func (*FileSystem) DeleteDir 

func (fs *FileSystem) DeleteDir(siaPath modules.SiaPath) error

DeleteDir deletes a dir from the filesystem. The dir will be marked as 'deleted' which should cause all remaining instances of the dir to be close shortly. Only when all instances of the dir are closed it will be removed from the tree. This means that as long as the deletion is in progress, no new file of the same path can be created and the existing file can't be opened until all instances of it are closed.

func (*FileSystem) DeleteFile 

func (fs *FileSystem) DeleteFile(siaPath modules.SiaPath) error

DeleteFile deletes a file from the filesystem. The file will be marked as 'deleted' which should cause all remaining instances of the file to be closed shortly. Only when all instances of the file are closed it will be removed from the tree. This means that as long as the deletion is in progress, no new file of the same path can be created and the existing file can't be opened until all instances of it are closed.
