This adds a new invocation ID concept to the service manager. The invocation ID
identifies each runtime cycle of a unit uniquely. A new randomized 128bit ID is
generated each time a unit moves from and inactive to an activating or active
state.
The primary usecase for this concept is to connect the runtime data PID 1
maintains about a service with the offline data the journal stores about it.
Previously we'd use the unit name plus start/stop times, which however is
highly racy since the journal will generally process log data after the service
already ended.
The "invocation ID" kinda matches the "boot ID" concept of the Linux kernel,
except that it applies to an individual unit instead of the whole system.
The invocation ID is passed to the activated processes as environment variable.
It is additionally stored as extended attribute on the cgroup of the unit. The
latter is used by journald to automatically retrieve it for each log logged
message and attach it to the log entry. The environment variable is very easily
accessible, even for unprivileged services. OTOH the extended attribute is only
accessible to privileged processes (this is because cgroupfs only supports the
"trusted." xattr namespace, not "user."). The environment variable may be
altered by services, the extended attribute may not be, hence is the better
choice for the journal.
Note that reading the invocation ID off the extended attribute from journald is
racy, similar to the way reading the unit name for a logging process is.
This patch adds APIs to read the invocation ID to sd-id128:
sd_id128_get_invocation() may be used in a similar fashion to
sd_id128_get_boot().
PID1's own logging is updated to always include the invocation ID when it logs
information about a unit.
A new bus call GetUnitByInvocationID() is added that allows retrieving a bus
path to a unit by its invocation ID. The bus path is built using the invocation
ID, thus providing a path for referring to a unit that is valid only for the
current runtime cycleof it.
Outlook for the future: should the kernel eventually allow passing of cgroup
information along AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM messages via a unique cgroup id, then we
can alter the invocation ID to be generated as hash from that rather than
entirely randomly. This way we can derive the invocation race-freely from the
messages.
If the corresponding mount unit is deserialized after the automount unit
then the expire event is set up in automount_trigger_notify(). However, if
the mount unit is deserialized first then the automount unit is still in
state AUTOMOUNT_DEAD and automount_trigger_notify() aborts without setting
up the expire event.
Explicitly call automount_start_expire() during coldplug to make sure that
the expire event is set up as necessary.
Fixes#4249.
Previously, the result value of a unit was overriden with each failure that
took place, so that the result always reported the last failure that took
place.
With this commit this is changed, so that the first failure taking place is
stored instead. This should normally not matter much as multiple failures are
sufficiently uncommon. However, it improves one behaviour: if we send SIGABRT
to a service due to a watchdog timeout, then this currently would be reported
as "coredump" failure, rather than the "watchodg" failure it really is. Hence,
in order to report information about the type of the failure, and not about
the effect of it, let's change this from all unit type to store the first, not
the last failure.
This addresses the issue pointed out here:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/3818#discussion_r73433520
All pending tokens are already serialized correctly and will be handled
when the mount unit is done.
Without this a 'daemon-reload' cancels all pending tokens. Any process
waiting for the mount will continue with EHOSTDOWN.
This can happen when the mount unit waits for it's dependencies, e.g.
network, devices, fsck, etc.
This basically reverts 7b2fd9d512 ("core:
remove duplicate code in automount_update_mount()").
This was not duplicate code. The expire_tokens need to be handled as well:
Send 0 == success for MOUNT_DEAD (umount successful), do nothing for
MOUNT_UNMOUNTING (not yet done) and an error for everything else.
Otherwise the automount logic will assume unmounting is not done and will
not send any new requests for mounting. As a result, the corresponding
mount unit is never mounted.
Without this, automounts with TimeoutIdleSec= are broken. Once the idle
timeout triggered a umount, any access to the corresponding filesystem
hangs forever.
Fixes#3332.
Port the progagation logic to the generic Unit->trigger_notify() callback logic
in the unit vtable, that is called for a unit not only when the triggered unit
of it changes state but also when a job for that unit finishes. This, firstly
allows us to make the code a bit cleaner and more generic, but more
importantly, allows us to notice correctly when a mount job fails, and
propagate that back to autofs client processes.
Fixes: #2181
Let's move the enforcement of the per-unit start limit from unit.c into the
type-specific files again. For unit types that know a concept of "result" codes
this allows us to hook up the start limit condition to it with an explicit
result code. Also, this makes sure that the state checks in clal like
service_start() may be done before the start limit is checked, as the start
limit really should be checked last, right before everything has been verified
to be in order.
The generic start limit logic is left in unit.c, but the invocation of it is
moved into the per-type files, in the various xyz_start() functions, so that
they may place the check at the right location.
Note that this change drops the enforcement entirely from device, slice, target
and scope units, since these unit types generally may not fail activation, or
may only be activated a single time. This is also documented now.
Note that restores the "start-limit-hit" result code that existed before
6bf0f408e4 already in the service code. However,
it's not introduced for all units that have a result code concept.
Fixes#3166.
Previously, we had two enums ManagerRunningAs and UnitFileScope, that were
mostly identical and converted from one to the other all the time. The latter
had one more value UNIT_FILE_GLOBAL however.
Let's simplify things, and remove ManagerRunningAs and replace it by
UnitFileScope everywhere, thus making the translation unnecessary. Introduce
two new macros MANAGER_IS_SYSTEM() and MANAGER_IS_USER() to simplify checking
if we are running in one or the user context.
GLIB has recently started to officially support the gcc cleanup
attribute in its public API, hence let's do the same for our APIs.
With this patch we'll define an xyz_unrefp() call for each public
xyz_unref() call, to make it easy to use inside a
__attribute__((cleanup())) expression. Then, all code is ported over to
make use of this.
The new calls are also documented in the man pages, with examples how to
use them (well, I only added docs where the _unref() call itself already
had docs, and the examples, only cover sd_bus_unrefp() and
sd_event_unrefp()).
This also renames sd_lldp_free() to sd_lldp_unref(), since that's how we
tend to call our destructors these days.
Note that this defines no public macro that wraps gcc's attribute and
makes it easier to use. While I think it's our duty in the library to
make our stuff easy to use, I figure it's not our duty to make gcc's own
features easy to use on its own. Most likely, client code which wants to
make use of this should define its own:
#define _cleanup_(function) __attribute__((cleanup(function)))
Or similar, to make the gcc feature easier to use.
Making this logic public has the benefit that we can remove three header
files whose only purpose was to define these functions internally.
See #2008.
Now that we don't have RequiresOverridable= and RequisiteOverridable=
dependencies anymore, we can get rid of tracking the "override" boolean
for jobs in the job engine, as it serves no purpose anymore.
While we are at it, fix some error messages we print when invoking
functions that take the override parameter.
It's nicer to hide the check away in the various
xyz_add_default_dependencies() calls, rather than making it explicit in
the caller, and thus require deeper nesing.
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.
When starting a transient service, allow setting stdin/stdout/stderr fds
for it, by passing them in via the bus.
This also simplifies some of the serialization code for units.
Let's add a way to get the type-specific D-Bus interface of a unit from
either its type or name to src/basic/unit-name.[ch]. That way we can
share it with the client side, where it is useful in tools like cgls or
machinectl.
Also ports over machinectl to make use of this.
This reverts commit d4d00020d6. The idea of
the commit is broken and needs to be reworked. We really cannot reduce
the bus-addresses to a single address. We always will have systemd with
native clients and legacy clients at the same time, so we also need both
addresses at the same time.
We should not fall back to dbus-1 and connect to the proxy when kdbus
returns an error that indicates that kdbus is running but just does not
accept new connections because of quota limits or something similar.
Using is_kdbus_available() in libsystemd/ requires it to move from
shared/ to libsystemd/.
Based on a patch from David Herrmann:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/886
The expire timeout must be started/stopped if the corresponding mount unit
changes its state, e.g. it is started via local-fs.target or stopped by a
manual umount.
Return the token immediately instead. Otherwise the token is never returned
to the kernel, because the umount job is a noop and will not trigger a
state change.
The timer value for automount unit specified with TimeoutIdleSec= is rounded
up to one second if that directive is set to 0.
Fix this by bailing early in automount_enter_runnning() in case no timeout is
requested.
The autofs kernel idle logic requires us to poll the kernel for
idleness. This is of course suboptimal, but cannot be fixed without
kernel change.
Currently the polling frequency is set to 1/10 of the idle timeout. This
is quite high, as seen in #571. Let's lower this to 1/3.
It's primarily just a property of the Manager object after all, and we
try to refer to PID 1 as "manager" instead of "systemd", hence let's to
stick to this here too.
This changes log_unit_info() (and friends) to take a real Unit* object
insted of just a unit name as parameter. The call will now prefix all
logged messages with the unit name, thus allowing the unit name to be
dropped from the various passed romat strings, simplifying invocations
drastically, and unifying log output across messages. Also, UNIT= vs.
USER_UNIT= is now derived from the Manager object attached to the Unit
object, instead of getpid(). This has the benefit of correcting the
field for --test runs.
Also contains a couple of other logging improvements:
- Drops a couple of strerror() invocations in favour of using %m.
- Not only .mount units now warn if a symlinks exist for the mount
point already, .automount units do that too, now.
- A few invocations of log_struct() that didn't actually pass any
additional structured data have been replaced by simpler invocations
of log_unit_info() and friends.
- For structured data a new LOG_UNIT_MESSAGE() macro has been added,
that works like LOG_MESSAGE() but prefixes the message with the unit
name. Similar, there's now LOG_LINK_MESSAGE() and
LOG_NETDEV_MESSAGE().
- For structured data new LOG_UNIT_ID(), LOG_LINK_INTERFACE(),
LOG_NETDEV_INTERFACE() macros have been added that generate the
necessary per object fields. The old log_unit_struct() call has been
removed in favour of these new macros used in raw log_struct()
invocations. In addition to removing one more function call this
allows generated structured log messages that contain two object
fields, as necessary for example for network interfaces that are
joined into another network interface, and whose messages shall be
indexed by both.
- The LOG_ERRNO() macro has been removed, in favour of
log_struct_errno(). The latter has the benefit of ensuring that %m in
format strings is properly resolved to the specified error number.
- A number of logging messages have been converted to use
log_unit_info() instead of log_info()
- The client code in sysv-generator no longer #includes core code from
src/core/.
- log_unit_full_errno() has been removed, log_unit_full() instead takes
an errno now, too.
- log_unit_info(), log_link_info(), log_netdev_info() and friends, now
avoid double evaluation of their parameters
A variety of changes:
- Make sure all our calls distuingish OOM from other errors if OOM is
not the only error possible.
- Be much stricter when parsing escaped paths, do not accept trailing or
leading escaped slashes.
- Change unit validation to take a bit mask for allowing plain names,
instance names or template names or an combination thereof.
- Refuse manipulating invalid unit name
