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.
Pretty much everything uses just the first argument, and this doesn't make this
common pattern more complicated, but makes it simpler to pass multiple options.
Previously, we'd always process parents before children. With this
change we are a bit more careful and create parents before children but
clean up children before parents.
The "done" boolean by item is replaced by a mask so that we can descent
and ascend for the right operations only.

This is an implementation that covers making errors encountered when writing
file content optionally fatal. If this is something that folks would want I'll
add handling of this for all the other directives. I'd appreciate suggestions
on how this might better be structured as well (use of a goto fail or such) as
I'm not super happy with the approach.
A follow-up for commit 9d874aec45.
This patch makes "path" parameter mandatory in fd_set_*() helpers removing the
need to use fd_get_path() when NULL was passed. The caller is supposed to pass
the fd anyway so assuming that it also knows the path should be safe.
Actually, the only case where this was useful (or used) was when we were
walking through directory trees (in item_do()). But even in those cases the
paths could be constructed trivially, which is still better than relying on
fd_get_path() (which is an ugly API).
A very succinct test case is also added for 'z/Z' operators so the code dealing
with recursive operators is tested minimally.
Let's fold get_user_creds_clean() into get_user_creds(), and introduce a
flags argument for it to select "clean" behaviour. This flags parameter
also learns to other new flags:
- USER_CREDS_SYNTHESIZE_FALLBACK: in this mode the user records for
root/nobody are only synthesized as fallback. Normally, the synthesized
records take precedence over what is in the user database. With this
flag set this is reversed, and the user database takes precedence, and
the synthesized records are only used if they are missing there. This
flag should be set in cases where doing NSS is deemed safe, and where
there's interest in knowing the correct shell, for example if the
admin changed root's shell to zsh or suchlike.
- USER_CREDS_ALLOW_MISSING: if set, and a UID/GID is specified by
numeric value, and there's no user/group record for it accept it
anyway. This allows us to fix#9767
This then also ports all users to set the most appropriate flags.
Fixes: #9767
[zj: remove one isempty() call]
This is a bit like the info link in most of GNU's --help texts, but we
don't do info but man pages, and we make them properly clickable on
terminal supporting that, because awesome.
I think it's generally advisable to link up our (brief) --help texts and
our (more comprehensive) man pages a bit, so this should be an easy and
straight-forward way to do it.
The qgroup logic (types 'q' and 'Q') only has an effect if there's no previous
setup at all, and any explicitly configured subvolumes with their qgroups are
left entirely unmodified.
The idea is that if users want a different logic than the one we set up by
default, then by all means they should do that before hand, and tmpfiles won't
override their logic.
fd_get_path() is an ugly API, as it creates ambiguities related to the
" (deleted)" suffix /proc/$PID/fd/$FD shows. Let's use it a bit less
excessively, and whenever we have a good valid path already, let's
simply pass that along, instead of forgetting it in one stackframe and
reacquiring it in the next.
Since all path_set_*() helpers don't follow symlinks, it's possible to use
chase_symlinks(CHASE_NOFOLLOW) flag to both open the files specified by the
passed paths and check their validity (unlike their counterpart fd_set_*()
helpers).
