Let's simplify things and drop the logic that /var/lib/machines is setup
as auto-growing btrfs loopback file /var/lib/machines.raw.
THis was done in order to make quota available for machine management,
but quite frankly never really worked properly, as we couldn't grow the
file system in sync with its use properly. Moreover philosophically it's
problematic overriding the admin's choice of file system like this.
Let's hence drop this, and simplify things. Deleting code is a good
feeling.
Now that regular file systems provide project quota we could probably
add per-machine quota support based on that, hence the btrfs quota
argument is not that interesting anymore (though btrfs quota is a bit
more powerful as it allows recursive quota, i.e. that the machine pool
gets an overall quota in addition to per-machine quota).
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
When I see "test", I have to think three times what the return value
means. With "below" this is immediately clear. ratelimit_below(&limit)
sounds almost like English and is imho immediately obvious.
(I also considered ratelimit_ok, but this strongly implies that being under the
limit is somehow better. Most of the times this is true, but then we use the
ratelimit to detect triple-c-a-d, and "ok" doesn't fit so well there.)
C.f. a1bcaa07.
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 is similar to TAKE_PTR() but operates on file descriptors, and thus
assigns -1 to the fd parameter after returning it.
Removes 60 lines from our codebase. Pretty good too I think.
There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve
its own files, hence do something about it.
This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be
updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since
pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this
effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now.
Also touches a few unrelated include files.
As it turns out machine_name_is_valid() does the exact same thing as
hostname_is_valid() these days, as it just invoked that and checked the
name length was < 64. However, hostname_is_valid() checks the length
against HOST_NAME_MAX anyway (which is 64 on Linux), hence any
additional check is redundant.
We hence replace machine_name_is_valid() by a macro that simply maps it
to hostname_is_valid() but sets the allow_trailing_dot parameter to
false. We also move this this call to hostname-util.h, to the same place
as the hostname_is_valid() declaration.
This adds a "char *extra" parameter to tempfn_xxxxxx(), tempfn_random(),
tempfn_ranomd_child(). If non-NULL this string is included in the middle
of the newly created file name. This is useful for being able to
distuingish the kind of temporary file when we see one.
This also adds tests for the three call.
For now, we don't make use of this at all, but port all users over.
renameat2() exists since Linux 3.15 but btrfs support for the flag
RENAME_NOREPLACE was added later.
This patch implements a fallback when renameat2() returns EINVAL.
EINVAL is the error returned when the filesystem does not support one of
the flags.
This also adds "machinectl import-raw" and "machinectl import-tar" to
wrap these new bus calls.
THe commands basically do for local files that "machinectl pull-raw" and
friends do for remote files.
If /var/lib/machines is mounted as btrfs loopback file system in
/var/lib/machines.raw with this change we automatically grow the file
system as it fills up. After each 10M we write to it during imports, we
check the free disk space, and if the fill level grows beyond 66% we
increase the size of the file system to 3x the fill level (thus lowering
it to 33%).
After all it is now much more like strjoin() than strappend(). At the
same time, add support for NULL sentinels, even if they are normally not
necessary.
With this change the pull protocol implementation processes will pass
progress data to importd which then passes this information on via the
bus. We use sd_notify() as generic transport for this communication,
making importd listen to them, while matching the incoming messages to
the right transfer.
The old "systemd-import" binary is now an internal tool. We still use it
as asynchronous backend for systemd-importd. Since the import tool might
require some IO and CPU resources (due to qcow2 explosion, and
decompression), and because we might want to run it with more minimal
priviliges we still keep it around as the worker binary to execute as
child process of importd.
machinectl now has verbs for pulling down images, cancelling them and
listing them.
