* bug#22795: 25.0.91; Can't write read only file on w32

When a file is read only on w32 platform I used to be able to write a
file by toggling the buffer's read-only-mode state and answering yes
to this question "File memo is write-protected; try to save anyway?
(yes or no)" but now the writing fails by an error message "Opening
output file: Permission denied, c:/d/ota/memo" It still works on Linux
platform.  Is this a new feature/policy on w32 platform or a bug?  It
is certainly inconvenient.

I cannot reproduce this, neither with today's emacs-25 nor with the
last pretest of 25.1.  If I answer yes to that question, the file is
saved without any errors.

How did you make the file read-only?  (I used a Windows port of
'chmod' and the 'attrib' command.)

I used Windows Explorer's GUI to open the file property window and
placed a check on Read-only attribute.  I am using mingw to build the
emacs.  I just tried with 24.5 and it works but not on 25.0.90/91.
They are all build by the same mingw.

This doesn't happen for me even if I use the Explorer.

There's some other factor at work here.  Does this happen with any
file, anywhere on your filesystems?  E.g., can you try on a drive
other than C: ?

Also, do you, as the user, own the directory where this file lives, or
is its owner another user?

And what filesystem is that? NTFS or FAT32?

Finally, does this happen in "emacs -Q", or do you need some
customizations for the problem to happen?

Thanks.

Yes, I own and have full permission of the directory.  I noticed one
thing when I tried other than C: drive.  An external USB drive with
NTFS file system exhibits the same problem as C: drive.  A flash drive
with FAT32 doesn't show the same problem.  Have you tried with NTFS?

I tried "emacs -Q" (actually "./runemacs -Q") and the result is the
same.  On FAT32 the writing succeeds.  On NTFS the writing fails by
Permission denied error.

I tried only with NTFS.

Very strange.  I guess the only way forward is for you to step with
Edebug through save-buffer and its subroutines in files.el, and tell
what fails there and why.  Can you do that?  (Since this works on
FAT32, I suspect some issue with NT security, although 24.5 also used
ACLs...)

Thanks.

I think this is something to do with my mingw.  I cannot remember when
I updated mingw last time.  Here is the comparison between trace in
emacs-24.5 and emacs-25.0.91.  The difference is in the open system
call.  Both pass the same set of parameters to open but emacs-24.5
gets 3 and emacs-25.0.91 gets -1.  Both emacs were built using mingw
but I cannot guarantee they are the same version of mingw.  Can you
think of any other reason than they were built with different mingw to
explain the difference of the open() behavior?

I very much doubt this has something to do with MinGW, because MinGW
uses the Windows runtime library, so running the two executables on
the same box will use the same library.

Step into the 'open' call -- it's shadowed by 'sys_open' defined on
w32.c.  What flags are passed to _wopen in each case?  Your trace from
GDB seems to indicate that in the case of 25.0.91 we pass O_BINARY,
while in 24.5 we don't.  If this is really the case, maybe that's the
reason, although I don't currently see why it would lead to a failure
(and it certainly doesn't fail for me).  Is there any other difference
in flags and modes with which we call _wopen in each case?

Also, I think by the time this code is run, the original file should
have been renamed to the backup-file name, so the file you are saving
should not exist on disk by the time we open it.  If that is not the
case with 25.0.91, then perhaps what fails is not the open call, but
the rename call before that.

Thanks.

I am now very much puzzled.  Here is the trace up to _wopen().  I
printed parameters to _wopen() and they are identical yet one succeeds
and the other fails.

Hmm... strange, indeed.

Do you have a dependency walker program?  (If not, you can download it
from http://www.dependencywalker.com/.)  Can you tell whether the two
executables differ in the versions of msvcrt.dll they are linked
against?  Or any other dynamic libraries, for that matter?

Also, what is the value of errno after the _wopen call that fails?

Finally, what about this part of my questions, did you look into this:

Does the file that Emacs tries to open here, c:\d\ota\memo, exist when
_wopen is called, and if so, is it read-only?  Please check this with
both versions of Emacs, and see if there's any differences in what
happens.

Thanks.

Both depends on C:\windows\system32\MSVCRT.DLL

4303            res = _wopen (mpath_w, (oflag & ~_O_CREAT) | _O_NOINHERIT, mode);
(gdb) s
4304          if (res < 0)
(gdb) p res
$6 = -1
(gdb) p errno
$7 = 13

So it must be this.

#define	EACCES		13	/* Permission denied */

In both cases the original file exists right before calling _wopen()
but there is a difference.  On 25.0.91 the file remains read-only but
on 24.5 the file is writable right before calling _open().  Now we
have some clue here.

I set a break pointer at write_region() in fileio.c and then perform
the save-buffer command.  When emacs breaks at write_region() on 24.5
the file's permission is changed to writable while on 25.0.91 the
permission remains read-only.  I will trace in lisp from save-buffer
to write-region on each version to find how this permission difference
is made.

The file shouldn't exist at this point, because Emacs renamed it to a
backup file.  This is what I see here: the first call to _wopen,
without _O_CREAT, fails, and we then call _wopen again with _O_CREAT,
which creates the file.

If during the first call to sys_open the file already exists, then the
problem is not in sys_open, the problem is when the file is backed-up,
which should involve sys_rename.  If you put a breakpoint inside
sys_rename, you should see it called after you type "C-x C-s" to save
the file and answer the question Emacs displays about the file being
write-protected.  Please step through sys_rename_replace and see what
happens there, perhaps the code there fails to detect that the file is
read-only and remove the RO bit before renaming.

Both results are wrong: the file should not exist when write_region is
called, because Emacs renamed it to the backup-file name.  The problem
is most probably in making the backup, so I suggest looking at
sys_rename instead.

emacs-24.5 never called sys_rename().

emacs-25.0.91 calls sys_rename() but strangely old name and the new
name are the same.  See below.

??? It does here.  The call is in backup-buffer: it calls rename-file.

Are you trying this in "emacs -Q"?  If not, perhaps you have some
customizations, like backup-by-copying or
backup-by-copying-when-mismatch etc.?

Again, is this in "emacs -Q"?  The backup file name is generated by
the function find-backup-file-name, you will find it in files.el.  It
is called by backup-buffer.  Please see what file names it produces in
this case.

I just tried again with "run -Q" from gdb and the result is the same.
24.5 never called sys_rename() and 25.0.91 called sys_rename() with
two same names.

What about Frename_file? does 24.5 call it in this scenario?

If it doesn't, then please look at the beginning of backup-buffer (in
files.el), make sure it is called in 24.5 in this scenario, and then
please tell what are the values of real-file-name and backup-info in
this part at the beginning of backup-buffer:

	(let* ((real-file-name (file-chase-links buffer-file-name))
	       (backup-info (find-backup-file-name real-file-name)))

Also, what are the values of make-backup-files, backup-inhibited, and
buffer-backed-up in the buffer that visits the read-only file?

Btw, is that file under some kind of version control, per chance?

And please make sure, from now on, to test everything in "emacs -Q",
to prevent any customizations from getting in the way of this
investigation.

Thanks.

Ping!  Can we please continue this investigation?

If the problem is no longer reproducible with the latest pretest
25.0.9x, or if you can no longer afford looking into this, I will most
probably close the bug.

Thanks.

Sorry, I haven't made much progress.  I confirmed that it was
reproducible with the latest 25.0.94.  Let me resume looking into it
and I will send you further facts and questions.

Ping!

Release of Emacs 25.1 is imminent, and I'd very much like to try to
fix this problem, whatever it is, for that release.

Thanks.

I still don't have a conclusion but the root cause seems to be related
to file-ownership-preserved-p that has some platform specific
implementation.  When I open a read only file on both Linux and
windows-nt, Linux returns t while windows-nt returns nil.

Thanks.  Just to make sure I understand you correctly: which function
returns nil or t when you open a read-only file?

After opening a read only file, execute read-only-mode, modify the
file and try to save the file under emacs 25.0.94 on Linux and Windows
file-ownership-preserved-p returns non nil value on Linux and nil on
Windows.

But I spoke too early about this.  After this, I then compared emacs
25.0.94 and 24.5 on Windows.  On both version
file-ownership-preserved-p returns nil while save succeeds on 24.5 and
25.0.94 fails with "Opening output file: Permission denined," error.

So file-ownership-preserved-p is not the root cause.  I still need to
continue to chase.

What does (file-attributes FILENAME 'integer) return for that file?
And what does (user-uid) return?

This may be part of the problem: your home directory is not owned by
your user, it is owned by the Administrators group.  That is
definitely why file-ownership-preserved-p returns nil in your case,
but it can also be part of the larger problem we are investigating.
(On my machines, I always take ownership of the home directory and all
of its subdirectories, recursively, to avoid any ownership issues.)

I changed the ownership of the home directory.  Then performed the
next test.  Does this tell you anything?

(user-uid)
1001

;; I manually deleted ~/memo~ before this test

(file-attributes "~/memo" 'integer)
(nil 1 1001 513 (22359 18939 0 0) (22359 18939 0 0) (20624 9296 0 0) 289738 "-r--r--r--" t (1536 1 . 32777) (50396 . 34426))

;; Find the file, perform read-only-mode and then save it - the save succeed.

(file-attributes "~/memo~" 'integer)
(nil 1 1001 513 (22359 18939 0 0) (22359 18939 0 0) (20624 9296 0 0) 289738 "-r--r--r--" t (1536 1 . 32777) (50396 . 34426))

(file-attributes "~/memo" 'integer)
(nil 1 1001 513 (22359 20386 0 0) (22359 20386 0 0) (20624 9296 0 0) 289738 "-r--r--r--" t (16128 10 . 5242) (50396 . 34426))

;; close the file
;; Find the file, perform read-only-mode and then try to save again - the save fails by error "Cannot write backup file ..." "Removing old name: Permission denied ..."
;; And now

(file-attributes "~/memo~" 'integer)
(nil 1 1001 513 (22359 18939 0 0) (22359 18939 0 0) (20624 9296 0 0) 289738 "-r--r--r--" t (1536 1 . 32777) (50396 . 34426))

Not really, no.  I guess we still need the answers to the questions I
asked back in March, repeated below:
