Previously we always invoked the container PID 1 on /dev/console of the
container. With this change we do so only if nspawn was invoked
interactively (i.e. its stdin/stdout was connected to a TTY). In all other
cases we directly pass through the fds unmodified.
This has the benefit that nspawn can be added into shell pipelines.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87732
nspawn containers currently block module loading in all cases, with
no option to disable it. This allows an admin, specifically setting
capability=CAP_SYS_MODULE or capability=all to load modules.
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.
We really want /tmp to be properly mounted, especially in containers
that lack CAP_SYS_ADMIN or that are not fully booted up and only get a
shell, hence let's do so in nspawn already.
When we set up a loopback device with partition probing, the udev
"change" event about the configured device is first passed on to
userspace, only the the in-kernel partition prober is started. Since
partition probing fails with EBUSY when somebody has the device open,
the probing frequently fails since udev starts probing/opening the
device as soon as it gets the notification about it, and it might do so
earlier than the kernel probing.
This patch adds a (hopefully temporary) work-around for this, that
compares the number of probed partitions of the kernel with those of
blkid and synchronously asks for reprobing until the numebrs are in
sync.
This really deserves a proper kernel fix.
After all, nspawn can now dissect MBR partition levels, too, hence
".gpt" appears a misnomer. Moreover, the the .raw suffix for these files
is already pretty popular (the Fedora disk images use it for example),
hence sounds like an OK scheme to adopt.
Sometimes udev or some other background daemon might keep the loopback
devices busy while we already want to detach them. Downgrade the warning
about it.
Given that we use autodetach downgrading these messages should be with
little risk.
With this change nspawn's -i switch now can now make sense of MBR disk
images too - however only if there's only a single, bootable partition
of type 0x83 on the image. For all other cases we cannot really make
sense from the partition table alone.
The big benefit of this change is that upstream Fedora Cloud Images can
now be booted unmodified with systemd-nspawn:
# wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Cloud/Images/x86_64/Fedora-Cloud-Base-20141203-21.x86_64.raw.xz
# unxz Fedora-Cloud-Base-20141203-21.x86_64.raw.xz
# systemd-nspawn -i Fedora-Cloud-Base-20141203-21.x86_64.raw -b
Next stop: teach the import logic to automatically download these
images, uncompress and verify them.
This is useful for nspawn managers that want to learn when nspawn is
finished with initialiuzation, as well what the PID of the init system
in the container is.
This adds three kinds of file system locks for container images:
a) a file system lock next to the actual image, in a .lck file in the
same directory the image is located. This lock has the benefit of
usually being located on the same NFS share as the image itself, and
thus allows locking container images across NFS shares.
b) a file system lock in /run, named after st_dev and st_ino of the
root of the image. This lock has the advantage that it is unique even
if the same image is bind mounted to two different places at the same
time, as the ino/dev stays constant for them.
c) a file system lock that is only taken when a new disk image is about
to be created, that ensures that checking whether the name is already
used across the search path, and actually placing the image is not
interrupted by other code taking the name.
a + b are read-write locks. When a container is booted in read-only mode
a read lock is taken, otherwise a write lock.
Lock b is always taken after a, to avoid ABBA problems.
Lock c is mostly relevant when renaming or cloning images.
Now that networkd's IP masquerading support means that running
containers with "--network-veth" will provide network access out of the
box for the container, let's add a shortcut "-n" for it, to make it
easily accessible.
It does not use any functions from libcap directly. The CAP_* constants in use
through this file come from "missing.h" which will import <linux/capability.h>
and complement it with CAP_* constants not defined by the current kernel
headers.
Add an explicit import of our "capability.h" since it does use the function
capability_bounding_set_drop from that header file. Previously, that header was
implicitly imported through through "cap-list.h".
Tested that "systemd-nspawn" builds cleanly and works after this change.
Also, when booting up an ephemeral container of / use the system
hostname as default machine name.
This way specifiyng -M is unnecessary when booting up an ephemeral
container, while allowing any number of ephemeral containers to run from
the same tree.
This works now:
# systemd-nspawn -xb -D / -M foobar
Which boots up an ephemeral container, based on the host's root file
system. Or in other words: you can now run the very same host OS you
booted your system with also in a container, on top of it, without
having it interfere. Great for testing whether the init system you are
hacking on still boots without reboot the system!
This adds --template= to duplicate an OS tree as btrfs snpashot and run
it
This also adds --ephemeral or -x to create a snapshot of an OS tree and
boot that, removing it after exit.
If the format string contains %m, clearly errno must have a meaningful
value, so we might as well use log_*_errno to have ERRNO= logged.
Using:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -r -i -e \
's/log_(debug|info|notice|warning|error|emergency)\((".*%m.*")/log_\1_errno(errno, \2/'
Plus some whitespace, linewrap, and indent adjustments.
Using:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | while read f; do perl -i.mmm -e \
'local $/;
local $_=<>;
s/(if\s*\([^\n]+\))\s*{\n(\s*)(log_[a-z_]*_errno\(\s*([->a-zA-Z_]+)\s*,[^;]+);\s*return\s+\g4;\s+}/\1\n\2return \3;/msg;
print;'
$f
done
And a couple of manual whitespace fixups.
