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.

[PATCH:] fix overlapped I/O problems
by Martin Wilck 09 Nov '01

09 Nov '01

Hi, The included patch (against CVS 2001-11-08) fixes two problems with overlapped I/O: 1) Overlapped ReadFile() didn't work on normal files because file_get_info() never returned FD_TYPE_OVERLAPPED. 2) According to the MS docs, the lpOverlapped argument's Offset and OffsetHigh fields contain the offset from which to read. This was not honoured by the current implementation which only did sequential reads.

queries on internals...
by Roger Fujii 09 Nov '01

09 Nov '01

ok... getting reasonable output, but now I have some questions. First, it seems like wine can't find the audio codecs, though it seems to find the video ones. Is this a to-be-implemented or a bug and any clues on where to look? The next are portability / solaris questions... 1) For some unknown reason, the solaris version segfaults when it tries to load win87em.dll, but the linux one doesn't. I presume that this is trying to load the fpu emulator, but I'm not certain. In any case, what controls the loading of this in the first place? 2) regapi uses strsep, which solaris doesn't have. Is its usage in wine compatible with strtok, or should I cut/paste strsep into library/ports.c? 3) In win32/console.c, it seems that master/slave is reversed through the fork. This is only going off the docs, but if it is, how is this working under linux? That's all for now.... -r -- Roger Fujii <rmf(a)lookhere.com> Underemployed, and trying to keep it that way....

Need suggestions for audio patch testing.
by Simon Britnell 09 Nov '01

09 Nov '01

I've posted my patch against wine cvs audio.c 1.44 to wine patches, but I've not yet been able to give it a thorough test. Anyone using freeware/shareware/opensource programs with sound under wine (not winex) please send me URLs for the programs you use (specially if they break) so I can use them for testing my patch. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Find a job, post your resume. http://careers.yahoo.com

Re: Winsock2 & overlapped IO
by Mike McCormack 08 Nov '01

08 Nov '01

Hi Martin, i don't know much about Winsock, but i can tell you how overlapped I/O is supposed to work in Wine. The bulk of the implementation is in files/file.c and scheduler/synchro.c. When ReadFile is called on a handle, the following happens: 1. check that the handle is valid and was opened with FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED. 2. attempt to read any data that is available immediately, and perhaps return if we read enough already. 3. queue the operation onto CurrentTeb()->pending_list 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... The only part of the serial comms overlapped implementation the lives in the wineserver is the calculation of overlapped timeouts. So to get winsock to do overlapped, you may have to modify the winsock code to work like that... but the winsock code uses the service thread to wait upon sockets. The task is definitely not impossible, but it might take a bit of work :-) Maybe Ove K. can give you some advice?

The WineX tree is not under the Wine license, so you cannot grab stuff from there. While I guess the Transgaming folks wouldn't object in this case, I'd prefer that you leave it to them to submit their patches back to the main tree, so that the license situation is clear. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Are there any known issues with wineshelllink and KDE1 at the moment? It seems quite a few of my install programs hang when the shortcuts are about to be put in place. /Johan Gill, johane(a)lysator.liu.se

I do have a working Waveout Solution for native Solaris based on my libaudioio project. I've not tackled Direct Sound or Wavein yet.

Whoever is playing with Winsock can you please ensure that the solutions you come up with are not linux centric. There is a lot of code in there that does not run on solaris because it grubs around in PROC getting TCP structures. I have made a bit of a start in cleaning this up, Here it is, absolutely untested non working code, but a start nevertheless, I put this into a separate file and link it with winsock and wsock32 from a common source, these functions replace the helper functions of similar name in the two dll subdirectories.
