As documented in the man-page, readdir() may return a directory entry with
d_type == DT_UNKNOWN. This must be handled for regular filesystems.
dirent_ensure_type() is available to set d_type if necessary. Use it in
some more places.
Without this systemd will fail to boot correctly with nfsroot and some
other filesystems.
Closes#13609
For some reason, systemd-logind is trying to handle idle action in one of my containers:
Jun 07 10:28:08 rawhide systemd-logind[42]: System idle. Taking action.
Jun 07 10:28:08 rawhide systemd-logind[42]: Requested operation not supported, ignoring.
But we didn't log what exactly was being done. Let's put the name of the action in messages.
Previously, logind's logind-session.h would define prototypes for
logind-session.c and logind-session-dbus.c. Split that out, so that
there's a separate logind-session-dbus.h for that. Similar for seats and
users as well as the manager itself.
This changes no code, just rearranges where protoypes are located.
This augments the drm/input device management by adding a single method
call for setting the brightness of an "leds" or "backlight" kernel class
device.
This method call requires no privileges to call, but a caller can only
change the brightness on sessions that are currently active, and they
must own the session.
This does not do enumeration of such class devices, feature or range
probing, chnage notification; it doesn't help associating graphics or
input devices with their backlight or leds devices. For all that clients
should go directly to udev/sysfs. The SetBrightness() call is just for
executing the actual change operation, that is otherwise privileged.
Example line:
busctl call org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1/session/self org.freedesktop.login1.Session SetBrightness ssu "backlight" "intel_backlight" 200
The parameter the SetBrightness() call takes are the kernel subsystem
(i.e. "leds" or "backlight"), the device name, and the brightness
value.
On some hw setting the brightness is slow, and implementation and write
access to the sysfs knobs exposes this slowness. Due to this we'll fork
off a writer process in the background so that logind doesn't have to
block. Moreover, write requestes are coalesced: when a write request is
enqueued while one is already being executed it is queued. When another
write reques is then enqueued the earlier one is replaced by the newer
one, so that only one queued write request per device remains at any
time. Method replies are sent as soon as the first write request that
happens after the request was received is completed.
It is recommended that bus clients turn off the "expect_reply" flag on
the dbus messages they send though, that relieves logind from sending
completion notification and is particularly a good idea if clients
implement reactive UI sliders that send a quick secession of write
requests.

Ideally, coccinelle would strip unnecessary braces too. But I do not see any
option in coccinelle for this, so instead, I edited the patch text using
search&replace to remove the braces. Unfortunately this is not fully automatic,
in particular it didn't deal well with if-else-if-else blocks and ifdefs, so
there is an increased likelikehood be some bugs in such spots.
I also removed part of the patch that coccinelle generated for udev, where we
returns -1 for failure. This should be fixed independently.
When no sessions are registered on a given VT (anymore), we should always let
the kernel processes VT switching (instead of simply emitting a warning)
otherwise the requests sent by the kernel are simply ignored making the VT
switch requested by users simply impossible.
Even if it shouldn't happen, this case was encountered in issue #9754, so
better to be safe than sorry.
This way, we can extend the macro a bit with stuff pulled in from other
headers without this affecting everything which pulls in macro.h, which
is one of our most basic headers.
This is just refactoring, no change in behaviour, in prepartion for
later changes.
Instead of managing it explicitly, let's simplify things and rely on
regular Wants=/Requires= dependencies to pull in these units from
user@.service and the session scope, and StopWhenUneeded= to stop these
auxiliary units again. This way, they can be pulled in easily by
unrelated units too.
This simplifies things quite a bit: for each session we now only need to
manage the session scope, and for each user the user@.service, the other
units are not something we need to manage anymore.
This patch also makes sure that if user@.service of a user is masked we
will continue to work, and user-runtime-dir@.service will still be
correctly pulled in, as it is now a dependency of the scope unit.

let's make sure we log about every failure
Also, complain about systems where /dev/tty0 exists but
/sys/class/tty/tty0/active does not. Such systems (usually container
environments) are pretty broken as they mount something that is not a VC
to /dev/tty0 and they really shouldn't.
Systems should either have a VC or not, but not badly fake one by
mounting things wildly.
This just adds a warning message, as before we'll simply turn off VC
handling in this case.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Let's properly terminate on SIGTERM or SIGINT. Previously we'd just rely
on the implicit process clean-up logic on UNIX. By shutting down
properly on SIGTERM/SIGINT we make it easier to track down memory leaks
by employing valgrind.
Let's propagate errors correctly, and stick to the usual naming and
behaviour of these functions. Or in other words, make this closer to the
matching code in machined.
This drops a good number of type-specific _cleanup_ macros, and patches
all users to just use the generic ones.
In most recent code we abstained from defining type-specific macros, and
this basically removes all those added already, with the exception of
the really low-level ones.
Having explicit macros for this is not too useful, as the expression
without the extra macro is generally just 2ch wider. We should generally
emphesize generic code, unless there are really good reasons for
specific code, hence let's follow this in this case too.
Note that _cleanup_free_ and similar really low-level, libc'ish, Linux
API'ish macros continue to be defined, only the really high-level OO
ones are dropped. From now on this should really be the rule: for really
low-level stuff, such as memory allocation, fd handling and so one, go
ahead and define explicit per-type macros, but for high-level, specific
program code, just use the generic _cleanup_() macro directly, in order
to keep things simple and as readable as possible for the uninitiated.
Note that before this patch some of the APIs (notable libudev ones) were
already used with the high-level macros at some places and with the
generic _cleanup_ macro at others. With this patch we hence unify on the
latter.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
This macro will read a pointer of any type, return it, and set the
pointer to NULL. This is useful as an explicit concept of passing
ownership of a memory area between pointers.
This takes inspiration from Rust:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html#method.take
and was suggested by Alan Jenkins (@sourcejedi).
It drops ~160 lines of code from our codebase, which makes me like it.
Also, I think it clarifies passing of ownership, and thus helps
readability a bit (at least for the initiated who know the new macro)
FDSTOREREMOVE=1 removes all fds with the specified name. And we had named
the fds after the session. Better fix that.
Closes#8344.
AFAICT there's no point providing compatibility code for this transition.
No-one would be restarting logind on a system with a GUI (where the
session devices are used), because doing so has been killing the GUI, and
even causing startup of the GUI to fail leading to a restart loop.
Upgrading logind on a running system with a GUI might start being possible
after this commit (and after also fixing the display server of your
choice).
We already don't allow directly opening block devices attached to the seat.
They are handled by udisks instead. Clarify the code used when restarting
logind.
Coverity now started warning about this ("Calling unlinkat without checking
return value (as is done elsewhere 12 out of 15 times).", and it is right:
most of the time we should at list print a log message so people can figure
out something is wrong when this happens.
v2:
- use warning level in journald too (this is unlikely to happen ever, so it
should be safe to something that is visible by default).
This usually is very annoying to users who then cannot log in, so
make sure we always warn if that happens (selinux, or whatever other reason).
