[PATCH 2/2] sandbox: --stdin and --stdout allow max one bidirectional console

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Allow up to one bidirectional FIFO/file based console in addition to
the default stdin/stdout console that is always registered.

We avoid opening the FIFO files while parsing the options because the
whole logic may block if e.g. trying to open the --stdout FIFO and
there is no reader in the other end. So instead, we store the --stdout
and --stdin file paths given, and we open both sequentially once all
the options have been parsed. This also allows us to validate that at
most a single pair of --stdin and --stdout paths has been given.
e.g.:
    term1 $ mkfifo /tmp/bbstdin
    term1 $ mkfifo /tmp/bbstdout
    term1 $ ./barebox -I /tmp/bbstdin -O /tmp/bbstdout
       (blocks until a reader is available in the stdout FIFO)

    term2 $ cat /tmp/bbstdout & cat > /tmp/bbstdin
       (starts reader and writer, which triggers barebox to continue)

If only one console is activated (CONFIG_CONSOLE_ACTIVATE_ALL=n), the
default stdin/stdout console will be preferred instead of the new
FIFO/file based, which would need to be activated explicitly later on.
e.g.:
    barebox@barebox sandbox:/ cs1.active=ioe
