Well, I have about 20 test apps and 2 don't start anymore, the rest working as well as before. That's pretty ordinary ;-) I'm not completely sure if the patch is the culprit (I use Cvs and I get several patches at the same time). I don't have the time to investigate further right now.

Good day! regapi still works. My little winelib program exits with no error, but leaves a stale socket and does nothing. juno.exe, progman, I_view32.exe, and Dmitry's little About.exe leave a stuck wine process and a stale wineserver socket. I expect there is general consternation, or else it has been fixed already, but I guess I will have to reverse the patch to see.

Re: [RFC]: Overlapped I/O implementation

Hi Martin, >However, I assume you have had good reasons to abaondon the old >server-centric implementation, so I'm reluctant to go that way. Not really. The main reason i did it was because the server is slow and clunky and i thought i'd be able to squeeze a bit of extra performance out of the code by putting it in the client. The best starting point for solving the problems you describe is to revert my patch that put async I/O in the client. i'll even do it if you like... Now who said that premature optimization is the root of all evil? :-) Mike ------------------------------------------ mailto:Mike_McCormack@start.com.au ph +82 16 430 0425 __________________________________________________________________ Get your free Australian email account at http://www.Looksmart.com.au

Yet another async I/O issue: block devices
by Martin Wilck 14 Nov '01

14 Nov '01

Hi, I just discovered yet another problem that arises for overlapped I/O on normal disk files, more correctly, for any file on a block device. Obviously IO requests on block devices on Linux are _always blocking_. I wrote a very simple test program for reading from a floppy disk and found exactly this behaviour, no matter if O_NONBLOCK was set or not. "man 2 open" also says that O_NONBLOCK may or may not have any effect on non-socket fd's and for block devices it clearly has none. I don't know the reason for this, but it may have to do with Linux' caching algorithms. This means that - with ReadFile() etc. on regular files, the asynch code will never be executed. Instead, the call will block when trying to read immediately, and then return success. - I am not 100% sure in what context the asynchronous handlers are executed, but the read() write() calls there will be blocking as well. I assume this is not what we want. - I guess that for programs that "know" some IO is going to take a lot of time (read()s on floppies, network file systems, ...) will potentially be broken if they try to do overlapped IO and "do something else" while the IO is executing. I do see the need, therefore, to have an approach that mimics Windows' behaviour here. - The only simple approach that I can see for making this happen is creating a separate thread for reading/writing asynchronous IO. The simplest approach would actually be to do a clone() for each async request with CLONE_FILES | CLONE_VM | CLONE_PARENT. I don't know how this would fit into Wine's general synchronization approach - please give me hints. - The separate thread itself would be very simple for files on block devices, because it can simply execute the blocking read and finish when the read finishes, leaving some status information somewhere. - For other devices that _do_ support O_NONBLOCK, it may be cool to mimic this simple behaviour by clone()ing too, dup() ing the fd, resetting the O_NONBLOCK flag, and doing a blocking IO request just the same. That means to basically leave it up to the kernel to handle synchronization. This would also mean that we wouldn't have to worry about differences between files and sockets/pipes, because I'm 99% sure the kernel would do it right. I don't understand the concept of the wine service thread well enough yet to judge if that could be used for doing what I just suggested. Perhaps someone can help me out with that, I'll be studying the sources in the meantime. Cheers, Martin PS. I guess another possible approach would be using raw I/O, but I am very certain this is not what we want. -- Martin Wilck Phone: +49 5251 8 15113 Fujitsu Siemens Computers Fax: +49 5251 8 20409 Heinz-Nixdorf-Ring 1 mailto:Martin.Wilck@Fujitsu-Siemens.com D-33106 Paderborn http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/primergy

Local USER classes act as global
by Joshua Thielen 14 Nov '01

14 Nov '01

Hello, When I checked out the latest CVS, all the dialog boxes in Finale stopped working (again) . This happened since Alexandre fixed a function call from GetModuleHandleA("USER") to GetModuleHandle16("USER") in my previous GetClassInfo16 patch (thanks Alexnadre!). My patch had worked because GetModuleHandleA returned hInstance 0 for USER and Finale would proceed to register a window class with hInstance 0. Since classes with hInst=0 are treated sort of like global classes in wine, the window class was found. After more investigating, I discovered that in Win16, any window class that is registered with a USER instance handle will be found even if the hInstance passed to the function (GetClassInfo, CreateWindow etv c.) is completely different. This happens even for classes without the CS_GLOBALCLASS style. I have some small test apps if anyone is intrigued by this. Anyway, this patch implements this undocumented bug, uh.. er.. feature in wine and gets Finale working again .

weird linux/solaris problem.
by Roger Fujii 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

Well, I finally figured out the major problem I've been having with wine and virtualdub under solaris, but I'm not sure what to do about it. In memory/virtual.c, there are 2 problems: 1) in function anon_mmap_aligned, there is a section that tries to release extra memory. The problem is that under solaris, munmap length parameter is defined as: The munmap() function removes the mappings for pages in the range [addr, addr + len), rounding the len argument up to the next multiple of the page size as returned by sysconf(3C). It's not exactly clear what the linux munmap does, but I think that the linux one does what you think it SHOULD do, and the solaris one does what is documented (i.e. will unmap more pages than what the linux one thinks it would since it rounds UP the len). Now, I can see 2 fixes: 1 is to #ifdef __svr4 and compute the compensated len before unmapping. The other is to just not do this release (or at least not do it for __svr4). Any comments? 2) For some reason I don't quite understand, a call is made to VirtualProtect with a READONLY protection, and soon after, something tries to memcpy into that block. I'm not sure if this is a thread sync issue, or maybe this is supposed to work like c's const (ie, it's readonly AFTER the first write). Kind of puzzling, since it does work under linux. Any suggestions? (my current fix is to treat READONLY as RW, which works, but I know is wrong). Thanks. -r Roger Fujii <rmf(a)lookhere.com> Underemployed, and trying to keep it that way....

Re: [RFC]: Overlapped I/O implementation
by Martin Wilck 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

Hi Mike, all, I have thought some more. Having understood the problem with the possibly duplicate process fds, it is clear that in order to treat multiple simultaneous requests correctly, there must be some server-side support on a per-IO-object basis. With the current implementation as a guideline, I see only one possibility to do this: The server maintains two semaphores for async reading and writing for each I/O object (file, socket, comm port...) that has the OVERLAPPED flag set. The semaphores have a max count of 1 for FIFOS and some larger number for random-access files (this will be set by object-type-dependent functions). The async_private struct has a Semaphore field. When the client schedules an async request, it gets the suitable semaphore handler (read/write) of the I/O object from the server and stores it in the async_private struct. The async_handler function does not start actual I/O before acquiring the semaphore, and releases it when finished. The handler is in IO_PENDING state until it gets the semaphore and remains in that state after obtining access until it releases the semaphore. This provides a rather elegant framework for limiting the number of concurrent readers and writers. I am not sure, though, if the async_handler functions are allowed to wait for semaphores ??? Perhaps we'd need to use Unix semaphores ? Any other approach I've thought of so far seems to imply a lot of client-server interaction and mangling in the NtCurrentTeb()->pending_list. Please notify me if you have better ideas. The other possible solution would be to go back to the server-centric implementation of 8 months ago, or something similar. Most likely the NtCureentTeb()->pending_list would have to be dropped in that case, and server-side communications used instead. However, I assume you have had good reasons to abaondon the old server-centric implementation, so I'm reluctant to go that way. There is another concern, though. You wrote: > When the thread waits upon any server object, all (unix) fds with > pending overlapped operations are polled on. This is a minor problem > in the design; if the thread never waits upon an object the overlapped > can never complete, however the thread must wait upon the overlapped's > hEvent to check whether it has completed... AFAICS, there will not even be an I/O request unless the client waits on something (at least in ReadFileEx()). I wonder if this can cause the advantages of async IO to be lost if a a long time elapses before the client waits on anything. Definitely, if the first wait the client issues is on the async request itself, the handler will have done nothing in the meantime and there is no real asynchronicity any more. Meanwhile all arriving data must be buffered by the kernel. This is probably no problem on a serial port, but what if you're dealing with a fully loaded ethernet connection or a local socket with a lot of traffic? Anyway, That's probably a minor issue. Please tell me if you think the semaphore idea is feasible.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, In my attempts to figure out which change caused some games not to detect the sound card on my machine, I started checking out historic versions from CVS, building them, and testing whether they work or not. They all worked. All in all, I tested versions from 10/07/2001, the last version I knew worked, to the current CVS version, in a binary search pattern. The games still exhibit the problems I reported earlier - the sound is breaking up, and the colorful cursors don't show up, but at least I have something to debug now. If anybody has any ideas about the sound (waveOut*) that weren't discussed yet, I'd love to hear about them.

Re: Yet another async I/O issue: block devices
by Mike McCormack 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

Hi Martin, Probably better to get the ordered overlappeds working on sockets and serial ports first before trying to perfect block devices. That will bring Wine's feature set inline with Win9x overlapped I/O. I've never had anybody complain that overlapped I/O on block devices doesn't work for any program. Most programs avoid using features that only work on NT... you're likely to find that only NT services use those API calls.... and they won't work on Wine anyhow, seeing we don't support services properly yet. It seems like a good idea to try to make everything perfect from the start, but an incremental approach is usually better.

[RFC]: Overlapped I/O implementation
by Martin Wilck 12 Nov '01

12 Nov '01

Hi, I'd like to summarize my thoughts about an implementation of overlapped I/O in Wine that will offer full Windows functionality. I havent't thought it through in all detail, but I have a clear enough picture to write an RFC. I regard the following points as crucial: 1 "Generic" routines like ReadFileEx() need to work with files of almost arbitrary type, i.e. normal files, pipes, sockets, comm ports, ... 2 Different file types imply different semantics for overlapped I/O. In particular: a Files that don't support positioning (i.e. FIFOs, or basically everything except regular files) need to be accessed sequentially, i.e. there may only be one reader and one writer at a time, and these must be scheduled in the same order in which they were submitted by the application. Otherwise, the data read or written will be potentially scrambled. For regular files, on the other hand, spawning several I/O requests in parallel may be beneficial. b Files on some devices (in particular, block devices on Linux) need to spawn a separate thread for the async I/O operation, because I/O on such devices is always blocking, which is undesirable. Neither the process itself nor the service thread should be blocked by a time-consuming floppy I/O operation, for example. 3 The semantics of individual asynchronous I/O requests depend on the function that was called by the application, e.g. ReadFile() or WSARecv(), which take different arguments. Such calls may be mixed by the application, although it's certainly not good programming practice to do so. Based on these arguments, I'd suggest the following: A) The generic functions need to find out what the properties of a file descriptor wrt asynch I/O are. The most general way to implement this is to have an element int (*get_async) (struct object*, struct file_async*) in the obj_ops array. For non-file objects, this element would be NULL or no_get_async(). For non-overlapped file descriptors, the function would assign NULL to the file_async* argument, and return an error, a valid pointer would be assigned to file_async* otherwise. struct file_async would contain per-file information about asynch I/O, e.g. struct file_async { struct async_private *readers; /* list of async read requests */ struct async_private *writers; /* list of async write requests */ int flags /* supports positioning? Is I/O blocking on host OS ? etc. */ int (*get_timeout) (struct object *obj, int type, int count); /* function that returns timeout for device, needed e.g. for serial comm */ } I currently see no need for other file-type dependedent functions; It should be possible to write generic routines that handle the requests correctly according to the flags variable. The Wine server API would containe a file_get_async() request that returns the file_async structure associated with the file by calling the get_async() element of obj_ops. The async_private struct would look pretty similar as it looks now, with a generic part and a part that depends on the function invoked for doing async I/O (e.g. for sockets, whether ReadFile() or WSARecv() was called on the socket fd). IMO the async_private should not contain file type-dependent information which is per-file. It should rather contain a pointer to the respective file_async struct. Most importantly, the async_private struct it carries a pointer to a function that does the actual I/O, and another function pointer that handles the termination of the request (invocation of user completion routine etc.) B) The check_async() function in synchro.c operates on file descriptors rather than async requests. Once an overlapped I/O request is issued by the application, it is queued either in the readers or writers list of the async object (which is obtained from the server). If both the readers and writers lists were NULL beforehand, the fd is inserted into the list for check_async to work on. check_async() activates the first element(s) of both the readers and writers lists (where activate means that the actual read/write call is triggered). For FIFOS, only one element would be activated; for regular files several requests up to a given limit (e.g. 4). If the file is on a device where normal I/O would be blocking, a new thread is created for each activated request to satisfy it. When the requests' I/O routine (separate thread or not) is completed, it activates an event that triggers the generic "finish" routine. The finish routine calls the finish routine of the request, cleans up, and activates a new request if there is one that was queued but not activated. If both the readers and writers queue are empty after finishing the request, the file descriptor is removed from the list of handles to check in check_async(). C) If CancelIo() is called or a file is closed, all pending IO requests are removed from the file's async readers and writers lists; potential subthreads are terminated. With this approach, the wineserver would only be needed for retreiving the file's async I/O properties. The biggest change to the wine core would be the addition of a new function to obj_ops. I am looking forward to comments. Regards, Martin PS. A minor remark: The above approach would make it unnecessary to check for the return value of xyz_get_info() to be FD_TYPE_OVERLAPPED when initiating overlapped I/O. Instead, one could simply check if the async object returned by get_async() is non-NULL. -- Martin Wilck Phone: +49 5251 8 15113 Fujitsu Siemens Computers Fax: +49 5251 8 20409 Heinz-Nixdorf-Ring 1 mailto:Martin.Wilck@Fujitsu-Siemens.com D-33106 Paderborn http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/primergy

Re: More overlapped I/O issues (important)
by Mike McCormack 12 Nov '01

12 Nov '01

Hi Martin, You're right, i never considered multiple overlapped requests at the same time... To fix the problem correctly, you will need to move (some of) the overlapped code back to the wineserver, so that requests from different processes can be handled correctly. (i moved it out of the wineserver about a year ago for efficiency reasons.) Have a look at rev 1.7 of server/async.c to see how this worked. http://cvs.winehq.com/cvsweb/wine/server/async.c?rev=1.7&content-type= text/x-cvsweb-markup The current overlapped code (with the above exception) is similar to what win 9x supports, so it does not support overlapped on normal files, and file offsets in OVERLAPPED structures. If that could be implemented too, it would be good. i guess there is choice now... implement overlapped sockets with the existing structure, or make a rather large change to the wine architecture, which might take a while. Maybe a good first step is to back out my change which put overlapped operations into the client side code... Alexandre thought this could be done using POLLIO instead...

Loop (and other) problem in audio.c 1.45 located
by Simon Britnell 12 Nov '01

12 Nov '01

The problem is that I advance to the next wavehdr automatically in FeedDSP, which skips the first wavehdr sent to the wodPlayer. Doh! A patch will follow to fix this (which will be built on top of the race condition fix patch). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

GetDlgItem16 - is id signed or not?
by lawson_whitney＠juno.com 12 Nov '01

12 Nov '01

Good day! It hasn't gotten itself fixed in the ordinary way of progress, so I have finally gotten around to a regression in juno-1.49. It crashes just after getting back 0 from GetDlgItem16, so I added a little trace inside GetDlgItem. Now I know why it crashes, but I don't know - is id really unsigned, or is GetControl16 incorrectly failing to extend the sign? I guess I could try it each way and see which one does least damage, but probably several of you know which way it is meant to go. trace:dialog:DIALOG_CreateControls BEGIN trace:dialog:DIALOG_GetControl16 STATIC '' 1164, 12, 4, 232, 45, 50020000, 00000000 trace:dialog:DIALOG_GetControl16 BUTTON '&Get and Send Mail' 1162, 10, 55, 56, 28, 5003000b, 00000000 trace:dialog:DIALOG_GetControl16 BUTTON '&Just Get Mail' 1163, 70, 55, 56, 28, 5001000b, 00000000 trace:dialog:DIALOG_GetControl16 BUTTON 'Cancel' 1161, 130, 55, 56, 28, 5001000b, 00000000 trace:dialog:DIALOG_GetControl16 BUTTON '&Help' 57669, 190, 55, 56, 28, 5001000b, 00000000 trace:dialog:DIALOG_CreateControls END trace:dialog:GetDlgItem GWL_ID 48c id 48a trace:dialog:GetDlgItem GWL_ID 48a id 48a trace:dialog:GetDlgItem GWL_ID 48c id 48b trace:dialog:GetDlgItem GWL_ID 48a id 48b trace:dialog:GetDlgItem GWL_ID 48b id 48b trace:dialog:GetDlgItem GWL_ID 48c id 489 trace:dialog:GetDlgItem GWL_ID 48a id 489 trace:dialog:GetDlgItem GWL_ID 48b id 489 trace:dialog:GetDlgItem GWL_ID 489 id 489 trace:dialog:GetDlgItem GWL_ID 48c id ffffe145 trace:dialog:GetDlgItem GWL_ID 48a id ffffe145 trace:dialog:GetDlgItem GWL_ID 48b id ffffe145 trace:dialog:GetDlgItem GWL_ID 489 id ffffe145 trace:dialog:GetDlgItem GWL_ID e145 id ffffe145 wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger...

Latest CVS Wine winmm

10 Nov '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I tried running Pajama Sam today (a Humongous Entertainment game), which used to run, with some sound problems, a while ago. Now, I get a dialog box on startup, saying that "No sound card was detected". 'wine -debugmsg +wave,+msys' shows multiple instances of the message: trace:mmsys:DriverCallback Null ! - From a quick look at mmsystem.c, it's not immediately clear whether this is a problem or not. At some point later on, I get: err:msacm:wodCallback Bad data But, this only happens after I close the dialog box, so that can't be the cause of the failure. Again, this used to work before. I first tried it with Simon's recent patch, and then checked out current the CVS version of mmsystem.c, and I don't see a difference. Any ideas? I have a complete dump the trace messages, but I'd rather not post it here, since it's fairly big.

Help with Revelant demo
by Paul Millar 10 Nov '01

10 Nov '01

Hi, [I'm prefacing this by saying know next to nothing about Windows] I've had a quick go at getting the (newer) demo of Eidos' Revenant game to run. The install works ok, but when I try to run the demo, I get a msgbox saying: "FATAL ERROR", "Unable to initialize Network" and the following appearing on stderr: > fixme:ole:CoCreateInstance no classfactory created for > {2fe8f810-b2a5-11d0-a787-0000f803abfc}, hres is 0x80040154 Rerunning with the "-debugmsg +ole" option, I get some (not terribly useful) extra info: > trace:ole:OLE32_DllEntryPoint 0x4087b000 0x1 0x1 > trace:ole:CoInitializeEx ((nil), 2) > trace:ole:CoInitializeEx () - Initializing the COM libraries > trace:ole:RunningObjectTableImpl_Initialize () > trace:ole:WINE_StringFromCLSID > 0x5a27f8->{2FE8F810-B2A5-11D0-A787-0000F803ABFC} > trace:ole:CoGetClassObject > CLSID: {2fe8f810-b2a5-11d0-a787-0000f803abfc}, > IID: {00000001-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} > fixme:ole:CoCreateInstance no classfactory created for > {2fe8f810-b2a5-11d0-a787-0000f803abfc}, hres is 0x80040154 > trace:ole:OLE32_DllEntryPoint 0x4087b000 0x0 0x1 I did a Google search and "2fe8f810-b2a5-11d0-a787-0000f803abfc" seems to be the CLSID of DirectPlayLobby. On a seperate note, I can't figure out which bit (or lack) of WINE is causing the "network error". From what I can see, there doesn't seem to be any network activity as rerunning with "-debugmsg +wnet,+winsock" doesn't produce any extra output. FWIW, there is an .INI file with the following: > [Network] > ConnectType=none > SessionName=none > Provider=IPX > ConnectTime=5 So my questions are: 1. How easy would it be to fix/add CLSID_DirectPlayLobby? (where do I start)? 2. Any suggestions how to go about debugging the apparently fatal "No Network" msgbox?

Regression errors
by Guy L. Albertelli 10 Nov '01

10 Nov '01

I have noticed two other regression issues with the patch to "Store in the server all the window info... " (01/10/22 15:08:34). Both of these occur in Outlook Express 4. 1. SetTimer call is not always generating WM_TIMER messages as it should. I see: 0806bb20:Call user32.SetTimer(00020057,00001003,00000000,6003a04c) ret=6001e9e4 0806bb20:Ret user32.SetTimer() retval=00001003 ret=6001e9e4 in the trace, but never is the callback routine invoked. Without the above patch, the callback is invoked and does the painting. 2. A WM_KEYUP (wparam is VK_CNTL) message is generated and processed even though no key is touched on the keyboard. If "-debugmsg +key" is specified the message never appears, nor does any trace:key: entry. Has anybody else seen or trapped these bugs? Guy Albertelli <<galberte(a)neo.lrun.com>>

More overlapped I/O issues (important)
by Martin Wilck 09 Nov '01

09 Nov '01

Hi Mike, all, I see a severe problem with the current overlapped I/O implementation, especially wrt extending it to Winsock2 overlapped I/O. The problem I see is with buffer ordering. For normal files, the file position from which to read is on the OVERLAPPED struct. This was not in the Wine implementation, the patch in my last email fixes it. For sockets and other FIFOs, this makes no sense. In this case Windows specifies that buffers are read / written **in the same order they were submitted**. This matters only if users spawn several asynchronous I/O requests at the same time, but this is allowed and actually beneficial for application performance (at least on Windows). Unless I oversee something essential, the current wine implementation does not guarantee such behaviour. Actually, since new requests are inserted at the head of the NtCurrentTeb() list, they will be considered first in subsequent asynchronous reads - i.e. the order will be reversed. If I/O requests don't complete in a single read() or write() call, the ordering will be basically random. IMO this implies that for sockets, asynchronous reads and writes must be scheduled such that only one request for a given socket is actually reading at a time, and all others are blocked until this request is finished. Again, this holds only for FIFO-type files. With the current structure, it seems to be very complex to sort this out. One could recheck the fd list in check_async and remove duplicate fds. One could also try to "lock" the fd somehow. Still it would be necessary to ascertain that the correct request gets the lock first. With this min mind, it seems more natural for me to organize the asynchronous requests in the "file" data structure itself. One would have a reader's and a writers's list there, and make sure that for FIFOS only the first list element can actually issue a read(), write(), send(), or recv() system call. For normal files all elements in the lists could be doing IO at the same time, question is if that makes sense or not. As I see it, this would mean both the readers and writers lists must be stored in the file data structure in the wine server. This would of course strongly affect the current implementation. Note that with Winsock2 overlapped I/O in place, it must be possible to use also ReadFile(), ReadFileEx() etc. on overlapped sockets, and get correct behaviour. Thus the ReadFile() etc. code must be able to deal with both sockets and ordinary files, and it makes no sense to intriduce a different approach for sockets only. Please give me your opinion on these issues ASAP.
