Also, when the child is potentially long-running make sure to set a
death signal.
Also, ignore the result of the reset operations explicitly by casting
them to (void).
If NULL is specified for the bus it is now automatically derived from
the passed in message.
This commit also changes a number of invocations of sd_bus_send() to
make use of this.
This should simplify the prototype a bit. The bus parameter is redundant
in most cases, and in the few where it matters it can be derived from
the message via sd_bus_message_get_bus().
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.
When manipulating container and VM images we need efficient and atomic
directory snapshots and file copies, as well as disk quota. btrfs
provides this, legacy file systems do not. Hence, implicitly create a
loopback file system in /var/lib/machines.raw and mount it to
/var/lib/machines, if that directory is not on btrfs anyway.
This is done implicitly and transparently the first time the user
invokes "machinectl import-xyz".
This allows us to take benefit of btrfs features for container
management without actually having the rest of the system use btrfs.
The loopback is sized 500M initially. Patches to grow it dynamically are
to follow.
The call iterates through cmsg list and closes all fds passed via
SCM_RIGHTS.
This patch also ensures the call is used wherever appropriate, where we
might get spurious fds sent and we should better close them, then leave
them lying around.
Also, allow clients to alter their own objects without any further
priviliges. i.e. this allows clients to kill and lock their own sessions
without involving PK.
We will be woken up on rtnl or dbus activity, so let's just quit if some time has passed and that is the only thing that can happen.
Note that we will always stay around if we expect network activity (e.g. DHCP is enabled), as we are not restarted on that.
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.
