[apue] Linux / Windows 系统上只能建立不超过 PATH_MAX / MAX_PATH 长度的路径吗?
问题的提出
在处理文件系统路径的时候,我们一般会先开辟一块内存区,用来接收路径、或者拼接好路径传递给系统调用。这是因为路径在各个系统上都有最大长度限制,在 Windows 上这个值是 MAX_PATH,一般不能超过 260;在 Linux 上这个值是 PATH_MAX,一般不能超过 4096 (或者通过 pathconf (_PC_PATH_MAX, …) 来获取,但是一般也是 4096),就像下面这段典型的代码:
1 int main () 2 { 3 #ifdef WIN32 4 char buf[MAX_PATH + 1] = { 0 }; 5 if (GetModuleFileNameA(NULL, buf, MAX_PATH) == 0) 6 { 7 printf("get current module path failed, errno %d", GetLastError()); 8 return -1; 9 } 10 #else 11 char buf[PATH_MAX + 1] = { 0 }; 12 if (readlink("/proc/self/exe", buf, PATH_MAX) < 0) 13 { 14 printf("read exe path failed, errno %d", errno); 15 return -1; 16 } 17 #endif 18 19 printf("current executable file path: %s\n", buf); 20 return 0; 21 }
它用来获取当前可执行文件的完整路径。在 Windows 与 Linux 上分别调用了 GetModuleFileName 与 readlink 系统调用,且事先在栈上分配了接收完整路径的内存区 buf。最后将成功获取的路径打印到控制台。在两种系统上,输出分别如下:
Windows
current executable file path: E:\code\apue\02.chapter\Release\path_max.exe
Linux
current executable file path: /home/yunhai/code/apue/02.chapter/path_max
其它与路径相关的调用也是类似的。那么问题来了,这个最大路径长度是为了方便程序编写 (不然需要动态分配内存,且需要两次调用,其中一次用于获取最终的路径长度),还是说底层的文件系统就只能支持这么长的路径呢?
问题的验证
为了弄清楚这个问题,我专门写了一个测试程序:
1 #ifdef WIN32 2 # ifndef _WIN32_WINNT // 指定要求的最低平台是 Windows Vista。 3 # define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0600 // 将此值更改为相应的值,以适用于 Windows 的其他版本。 4 # endif 5 #include <windows.h> 6 #include <direct.h> 7 #else 8 #include <limits.h> 9 #include <unistd.h> 10 #include <fcntl.h> 11 #include <errno.h> 12 #include <sys/stat.h> 13 #endif 14 #include <string.h> 15 #include <stdio.h> 16 #include <stdlib.h> 17 #include <time.h> 18 19 void get_random_name (char *name, int len, int level) 20 { 21 int i, n; 22 sprintf (name, "%d", level); 23 n = strlen (name); 24 for (i=n; i<len; ++ i) 25 name[i] = rand () % 26 + 'a'; 26 27 name [len] = 0; 28 } 29 30 int main (int argc, char *argv[]) 31 { 32 int dir_len = 0, file_len = 0; 33 char *name = 0; 34 int ret = 0, level = 0; 35 #ifdef WIN32 36 int name_max = MAX_PATH; 37 int path_max = MAX_PATH; 38 HANDLE fd = 0; 39 #else 40 char const* path = "/"; 41 int name_max = pathconf (path, _PC_NAME_MAX); 42 int path_max = pathconf (path, _PC_PATH_MAX); 43 #endif 44 45 printf ("NAME_MAX = %d, PATH_MAX = %d\n", 46 name_max, path_max); 47 48 // add 1 (/) to 10 to be conveniently to compute how low the path is with level. 49 dir_len = 9; 50 file_len = 100; 51 52 srand (time(0)); 53 name = (char *) calloc (1, (dir_len > file_len ? dir_len : file_len) + 1); 54 if (name == 0) 55 return -1; 56 57 58 do 59 { 60 get_random_name (name, dir_len, ++level); 61 #ifdef WIN32 62 //ret = _mkdir (name); 63 //if (ret == -1) 64 ret = CreateDirectory(name, NULL); 65 if (!ret) 66 { 67 printf ("CreateDirectory %s failed, errno = %d\n", name, GetLastError ()); 68 break; 69 } 70 #else 71 ret = mkdir (name, 0777); 72 if (ret == -1) 73 { 74 printf ("mkdir %s failed, errno = %d\n", name, errno); 75 break; 76 } 77 #endif 78 79 printf ("mkdir %s\n", name); 80 #ifdef WIN32 81 //ret = _chdir (name); 82 //if (ret == -1) 83 ret = SetCurrentDirectory(name); 84 if (!ret) 85 { 86 printf ("SetCurrentDirectory %s failed, errno = %d\n", name, GetLastError ()); 87 break; 88 } 89 #else 90 ret = chdir (name); 91 if (ret == -1) 92 { 93 printf ("chdir %s failed, errno = %d\n", name, errno); 94 break; 95 } 96 #endif 97 98 //printf ("change to that dir\n"); 99 get_random_name (name, file_len, level); 100 #ifdef WIN32 101 fd = CreateFile (name, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ, NULL, OPEN_ALWAYS, 0, 0); 102 if (fd == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) 103 printf ("open %s failed, errno = %d\n", name, GetLastError ()); 104 else 105 { 106 printf ("open %s OK.\n", name); 107 CloseHandle (fd); 108 } 109 #else 110 int fd = open (name, O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0644); 111 if (fd == -1) 112 printf ("open %s failed, errno = %d\n", name, errno); 113 else 114 { 115 printf ("open %s OK.\n", name); 116 close (fd); 117 } 118 #endif 119 } while (1); 120 121 free (name); 122 return 0; 123 }
这个小程序很简单,每次创建一个目录,切换进去,创建一个文件。这样周而复始,直到出错退出。目录名长度固定为 9,这样加上目录分隔符(/ 或 \)就正好凑成 10,方便之后根据目录深度计算路径总长度;文件名长度固定为 100,也是为了方便计算路径总长度。每个名字都是由 26 个字母随机组成的,同时将目录深度 (level)记录在名字开始。例如第 10 级目录可能长这样:“10jmvrfqv”,前面的数字 10 明确的标识了目录层级,同理,文件名前面也是层级数字,也是为了方便计算。好了,我们分别在两个系统上跑一下这个测试程序。

我是在 G:\ 根目录运行这个程序的,跑到第 16 级目录时,CreateFile 失败返回了,错误码为 3 (ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND:系统找不到指定的路径),对于文件创建失败,这里忽略,所以程序继续运行;跑到第 25 级目录时,CreateDirectory 也失败返回了,错误码为 206 (ERROR_FILENAME_EXCED_RANGE:文件名或扩展名太长),因为不能再继续了,所以整个程序终止。看了一下,到 16 级目录时整个路径是这样:
总长度达到 162,此时如果想再创建文件的话,总长度会升至 162 + 1 + 100 = 263 > MAX_PATH,所以接下来的文件创建失败了。然后再看下到 24 级目录时路径的样子:
总长度达到 243,如果再加上一个目录的长度的话,应该是253 < MAX_PATH,按理说应该还可以容纳一个目录的创建,但是我实地在这个目录下面尝试创建目录,得到了这样的错误:
如果是创建文件的话,会发现输入一定长度的文件名之后,就输入不了了:
这个长度目前是 16 (算上后缀 .txt 4个字符),加上之前目录的长度 243,总长度为 243 + 1 + 16 = 260,正好等于 MAX_PATH。可见,对于 Windows 而言,这个 MAX_PATH 就是底层文件系统的限制,再怎么玩也玩不出这个杠杠。尝试切换 CreateDirectory / SetCurrentDirectory 实现为 _mkdir / _chdir,看看有什么不同 :
line 62-65
ret = _chdir (name); if (ret == -1) //ret = SetCurrentDirectory(name); //if (!ret)
line 81-84
ret = _mkdir (name); if (ret == -1) //ret = CreateDirectory(name, NULL); //if (!ret)
重跑上面的例子,会得到完全一样的结果。
2. Linux 上的结果 (neokylin x64)
一开始我是在 CentOS i686 环境上跑的,没想到一阵跑之后再回来看,虚拟机桌面居然重置了,所有 shell 都退出了,没有截到任何输出,无奈只好采用另一个平台了。在这个中标麒麟的环境跑完了全程:

中间输出比较多,就省略了,只显示前后十几行内容。我是在 /home/vmware/code/apue/02.chapter 目录下运行这个程序的,跑到 1341942 级目录时,mkdir 失败返回了,错误码为 28 (ENOSPC:No space left on device)。总的目录路径长度达到 34 + 1341941 * 10 = 13419444,最深层的一个文件总路径长度达到 34 + 1341941 * 10 + 100 = 13419544,都远远大于 PATH_MAX (4096)了。此时我在运行程序的目录新建文件或目录,都会失败。
$ mkdir abc mkdir: 无法创建目录"abc": 设备上没有空间 $ touch abc touch: 无法创建"abc": 设备上没有空间
所以可以肯定的一点是,Linux 上的 PATH_MAX 并不是底层文件系统对路径最大长度的限制,只是一种便于程序编写的常量。那路径的最大长度到底由什么决定呢?看了上面 ENOSPC 的错误码,我第一反应是硬盘空间满了,然而在查看了磁盘剩余空间后,我否决了这个可能性。下面是我在执行测试程序前后分别记录的 df 输出。
可以看到所在的 /home 挂载点使用比例激增 (8%~22%),但是也没有达到 100%,所以磁盘空间还是比较充足的,很可能只是 inode 用光了(?)。不管怎样,本质上都是一种资源限制,这使得程序员可以在 Linux 上创建比较长的文件路径,比 Windows 提供了更大的灵活性。但是这样长的路径并不被所有程序所识别,例如,我在刚才创建测试目录的地方,递归列出所有文件,输出如下:

中间输出比较多,就省略了。跑到 410 级目录时,ls 报错了,上一级目录路径的总长度达到 34 + 409 * 10 = 4124,其实已经比 PATH_MAX 大了,不过还是因为缓冲区不足而中断退出了。再尝试查找文件,输出如下:

最后有没有完成我没有得到结论,因为整个虚拟机历时 N 天这个命令还没跑完 (N > 10),运行中的 find 截图为证:
我是按内存占用从高到低排序的,可以看到经过 N 天的运行 find 命令的内存占用已经超过了整个图形界面(Xorg),另外与 find 命令关联的终端 (mate-terminal) 内存、CPU也在高位运行。不过至少可以说明 find 并没有使用 PATH_MAX 来简单限制路径长度,可能是通过动态分配内存来实现对长路径支持的。另外个人比较好奇这个命令的句柄开支,于是看了下 lsof 的输出:
$ lsof -p `pidof find` COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME find 113339 vmware cwd DIR 8,5 4096 2095005 /home/vmware/code/apue/02.chapter find 113339 vmware rtd DIR 8,3 4096 2 / find 113339 vmware txt REG 8,3 203296 1180356 /usr/bin/find find 113339 vmware mem REG 8,3 106374736 1187939 /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive find 113339 vmware mem REG 8,3 141880 1191334 /usr/lib64/libpthread-2.20.so find 113339 vmware mem REG 8,3 19512 1190784 /usr/lib64/libdl-2.20.so find 113339 vmware mem REG 8,3 447240 1191294 /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.1.2.3 find 113339 vmware mem REG 8,3 2082456 1190695 /usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so find 113339 vmware mem REG 8,3 1167000 1191118 /usr/lib64/libm-2.20.so find 113339 vmware mem REG 8,3 154784 1191415 /usr/lib64/libselinux.so.1 find 113339 vmware mem REG 8,3 163184 1190512 /usr/lib64/ld-2.20.so find 113339 vmware mem REG 8,3 26254 1448972 /usr/lib64/gconv/gconv-modules.cache find 113339 vmware mem REG 8,3 30239 3015834 /usr/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/findutils.mo find 113339 vmware 0u CHR 136,0 0t0 3 /dev/pts/0 find 113339 vmware 1u CHR 136,0 0t0 3 /dev/pts/0 find 113339 vmware 2u CHR 136,0 0t0 3 /dev/pts/0 find 113339 vmware 3r DIR 8,5 4096 2095005 /home/vmware/code/apue/02.chapter find 113339 vmware 4r unknown /proc/113339/fd/4 (readlink: File name too long) find 113339 vmware 6r unknown /proc/113339/fd/6 (readlink: File name too long) find 113339 vmware 7r unknown /proc/113339/fd/7 (readlink: File name too long) find 113339 vmware 9r unknown /proc/113339/fd/9 (readlink: File name too long) find 113339 vmware 10r unknown /proc/113339/fd/10 (readlink: File name too long) find 113339 vmware 11r unknown /proc/113339/fd/11 (readlink: File name too long)
出人意料的是并没有很多打开中的文件句柄。按我的理解,每遍历一层目录应该有一个目录文件的句柄被打开,但是现在看没有,是因为我造的例子比较特殊,每个目录下只有一个子目录?还是 find 另辟蹊径不用占用许多句柄?暂时不得而知。总的来讲,find 的表现要好于 ls,顿时对这个神奇的命令产生了敬仰。最后插一句题外话,从上面的输出我们可以看到另一个现象,就是因为路径太长了,readlink 返回了错误,可见对长路径,很多系统 api 也是不支持的。最后你可以使用 rm -rf xxxx 来尝试清理这些目录与文件:
不出所料 rm 占用了很多的内存和 CPU,不过好歹可以工作 (而且耗时没有 find 那么夸张,也就十几分钟),所以我的虚拟机可以恢复到测试前的工况。下面是 lsof 针对 rm 的一些输出
$ lsof -p `pidof rm`
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME

rm 70867 vmware 8u unknown /proc/70867/fd/8 (readlink: File name too long)
和 find 一样,它没有多少打开中的文件句柄(否则打开文件句柄数早超限了)。另外从 lsof 的输出看,有一些节点已经被 rm 删除了,所以 readlink 报错。
结论
对超长的文件路径来说,不同的 Linux 命令的支持程度也是不同的,有的支持,有的不支持。而且考虑到传递给进程的命令行总长度也是有限制的,除了一些支持递归目录处理的命令外,普通的命令是不会支持这么长的路径的。另一方面,从程序员的角度考虑,对于大路径的支持也是比较麻烦的,首先是系统支不支持输入、输出超长路径;如果支持,输入的场景还比较好办,输出的场景就比较麻烦了。最简单的办法是自己定义一个大于 PATH_MAX 值的常量并使用它分配内存,但是这样也存在问题,一方面日常处理比较浪费内存;另一方面如果路径超过你自己定义的这个值,还是会出现接收截断的问题。而且程序员没有办法去预知要得到的路径长度,从而提前动态分配内存。
总结一下,这个最大路径限制并不是系统不能支持超长的路径,而且作为一种系统与应用之间的一个约定,有了这个约定之后,程序对路径的处理将得到简化。况且我们没有对超长路径的硬需求,绝大部分 Windows 应用在 260 个字符路径的限制下就跑得很好,Linux 4096 的限制就更不用说了。
这个测试程序的一个额外用处就是耗尽所在分区的 inode(?),并观察系统在这种极限情况下的一些表现,例如,当我试图截取屏幕时不能成功,得到下面的提示框:
当你需要验证程序在这种极限状态下的行为时,这个程序不失为一种有用工具。
