fuse: error creating thread: Resource temporarily unavailable


After writing getattr and readdir functions for simplest fuse filesystem, i get fuse: error creating thread: Resource temporarily unavailable.. I would like to know where in my code i made mistake

I already search for this, but couldnt find anything that satisfies me. It seems to me that it exceeded thread limit, but i dont know how to fix it. I compiled it with

$ gcc passthrough.c -o passthrough `pkg-config fuse --cflags --libs`
passthrough.c:65:2: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
  .getattr = e_getattr,
  ^
passthrough.c:65:2: warning: (near initialization for 'oper.getattr') [enabled by default]

Here is the source code of program

#define FUSE_USE_VERSION 26

#include <fuse.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <limits.h>

char rootdir[100];

void get_fullpath(char fpath[PATH_MAX], const char *path){
    strcpy(fpath,rootdir);
    strncat(fpath,path,PATH_MAX);
    printf("[fullpath] file: %s\n",fpath);
}

int e_getattr(const char *path, struct stat *stbuf, struct fuse_file_info *fi){
    (void)fi;
    int res;

    char fpath[PATH_MAX];
    get_fullpath(fpath,path);

    printf("[getattr] file: %s\n",fpath);

    res = lstat(fpath,stbuf);
    if (res == -1)
        return -errno;
    return 0;
}

int e_readdir(const char *path, void *buf, fuse_fill_dir_t filler, off_t offset, struct fuse_file_info *fi){
    DIR *dp;
    struct dirent *de;

    (void)offset;
    (void)fi;

    char fpath[PATH_MAX];
    get_fullpath(fpath,path);
    printf("[readdir] file: %s\n",fpath);

    dp = opendir(fpath);
    if (dp == NULL)
        return -errno;

    while ((de = readdir(dp)) != NULL){
        struct stat st;
        memset(&st,0,sizeof(st));
        st.st_ino = de->d_ino;
        st.st_mode = de->d_type << 12;
        if (filler(buf,de->d_name,&st,0))
            break;
    }
    closedir(dp);
    return 0;
}

struct fuse_operations oper = {
    .getattr = e_getattr,
    .readdir = e_readdir,
};

int main(int argc, char * argv[]){
    umask(0);
    realpath(argv[2],rootdir);
    printf("Real path is %s\n",rootdir);
    return fuse_main(argc,argv,&oper,NULL);
}

And here is the output i'm getting

[fullpath] file: /home/echo/passthrough/test/
[getattr] file: /home/echo/passthrough/test/
[fullpath] file: /home/echo/passthrough/test/

Solution

  • the problem is in the function: e_getattr() It should be written as:

    static int e_getattr(const char *path, struct stat *stbuf )
    {
        int res;
    
        char fpath[PATH_MAX];
        get_fullpath(fpath,path);
    
        printf("[getattr] file: %s\n",fpath);
    
        res = lstat(fpath,stbuf);
        if (res == -1)
            return -ENONET;
        return 0;
    }
    

    Notice the added modifier static

    Notice the removal of the third function parameter

    Notice the modification to the return (on error) to -ENONET

    Also the list of included header files is missing the statement;

    #include <stdlib.h> // exposes function: `realpath()`
    

    the function: e_getattr() also needs the `static modifier
