While investigating why some of my netlink calls would timeout I
stumbled upon the definition of the max write queue length. Finding this
constant made me believe we still had a write queue in the code - which
isn't true. The netlink write queue code was removed in #189.
Let's use size_t for numbers of entries in memory.
Let's use const wherever appropriate.
Drop `_server` suffix from function name where we don't have it for
similar other cases.
- Parse the tags list using strv_split_newlines() which remove any
unnecessary empty string at the end of the strv.
- Use this parsed list for manager_process_barrier_fd() and every call
to manager_invoke_notify_message().
- This also allow to simplify the manager_process_barrier_fd() function.
Check:
- There is only 3 messages logged with type stdout
- Check all messages logged does not have new line: LINE_BREAK=eof
- Check that the 3 messages are logged from a different PID
- Check the 3 MESSAGE= content
Let's introduce an explicit line ending marker for line endings due to
pid change.
Let's also make sure we don't get confused with buffer management.
Fixes: #15654
If the previous received buffer length is almost equal to the allocated
buffer size, before this change the next read can only receive a couple
of bytes (in the worst case only 1 byte), which is not efficient.
libzstd is a new dependency for systemd that's not in a stable release
yet, so it's not pulled in by the RPM package dependency. Manually
include it in the package section so the image mkosi produces works. It
can be removed when the RPM depends on it.
Additionally, a number of packages in the list appear to be pulled in
because they're dependencies in the systemd rpm, so remove them.
Finally, mkosi v5 adds the proper fs utilities for bootable images type
so drop that dependency as well.
Limit size of various tmpfs mounts to 10% of RAM, except volatile root and /var
to 25%. Another exception is made for /dev (also /devs for PrivateDevices) and
/sys/fs/cgroup since no (or very few) regular files are expected to be used.
In addition, since directories, symbolic links, device specials and xattrs are
not counted towards the size= limit, number of inodes is also limited
correspondingly: 4MB size translates to 1k of inodes (assuming 4k each), 10% of
RAM (using 16GB of RAM as baseline) translates to 400k and 25% to 1M inodes.
Because nr_inodes option can't use ratios like size option, there's an
unfortunate side effect that with small memory systems the limit may be on the
too large side. Also, on an extremely small device with only 256MB of RAM, 10%
of RAM for /run may not be enough for re-exec of PID1 because 16MB of free
space is required.
These arguments contain UserRecord structures serialized to JSON,
however only the "secret" part of it, not a whole user record. We do
this since the secret part is conceptually part of the user record and
in some contexts we need a user record in full with both secret and
non-secret part, and in others just the secret and in other just the
non-secret part, but we want to keep this in memory in the same logic.
Hence, let's rename the arguments where we expect a user record
consisting only of the secret part to "secret".
This also makes sure the control buffer is properly aligned. This
matters, as otherwise the control buffer might not be aligned and the
cmsg buffer counting might be off. The incorrect alignment is becoming
visible by using recvmsg_safe() as we suddenly notice the MSG_CTRUNC bit
set because of this.
That said, apparently this isn't enough to make this work on all
kernels. Since I couldn't figure this out, we now add 1K to the buffer
to be sure. We do this once already, also for a pktinfo structure
(though an IPv4/IPv6) one. I am puzzled by this, but this shouldn't
matter much. it works locally just fine, except for those ubuntu CI
kernels...
While we are at it, make some other changes too, to simplify and
modernize the function.
Previously pam_systemd_home.so was relying on `PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF` to
display error messages to the user and also display the next prompt.
`PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF` was never meant as a way to convey information to
the user, and following the example set in pam_unix.so you can see that
it's meant to _only_ display the prompt. Details about why the
authentication failed should be done in a `PAM_ERROR_MSG` before
displaying a short prompt as per usual using `PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF`.
