    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that track a document within a file system using document identifier (DOCID) that is preserved during safe save operations. The DOCID can be a universally unique identifier (UUID). The DOCID can be generated on a local file system or generated during a synchronization process with a remote synchronization service. Applications can opt in to document tracking. The kernel of the operating system can monitor file system operations on a per-application and per-thread basis and determine when a processing thread is about to perform a safe save. When a sequence of file system operations indicates that a safe save is to be performed, the kernel can generate and store a tombstone record that includes the DOCID and other metadata of the tracked document and pass the DOCID and metadata to the newly saved document.

    Abstract translation: 公开了使用在安全保存操作期间保留的文档标识符(DOCID)来跟踪文件系统内的文档的系统和方法。 DOCID可以是普遍唯一的标识符(UUID)。 DOCID可以在本地文件系统上生成,也可以在与远程同步服务的同步过程中生成。 应用程序可以选择进行文档跟踪。 操作系统的内核可以在每个应用程序和每个线程的基础上监视文件系统操作,并确定处理线程何时要执行安全保存。 当一系列文件系统操作指示要执行安全保存时,内核可以生成并存储包含跟踪文档的DOCID和其他元数据的逻辑纪录,并将DOCID和元数据传递到新保存的文档。

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to efficiently handling execution of multiple threads to perform various actions. In some embodiments, an application instantiates a queue and a synchronization primitive. The queue maintains a set of work items to be operated on by a thread pool maintained by a kernel. The synchronization primitive controls access to the queue by a plurality of threads including threads of the thread pool. In such an embodiment, a first thread of the application enqueues a work item in the queue and issues a system call to the kernel to request that the kernel dispatch a thread of the thread pool to operate on the first work item. In various embodiments, the dispatched thread is executable to acquire the synchronization primitive, dequeue the work item, and operate on it.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for synchronizing one or more user data sets on one or more client devices of a user, using a synchronization system. Each client device can have two independent and asynchronously-operating synchronization engines. The synchronization system can include a synchronization system manager that can resolve conflicts in data that arise from different versions of software being used generate a data set. Each client can maintain two separate databases: a first database that can contain a snapshot of the state of the user data sets across client devices, as known to the synchronization system. The second database can contain a snapshot of the local file system and information about the state of synchronization of the local file system with the synchronization system.
