This new call is much light sd_bus_is_open(), but returns true only if
the connection is fully set up, i.e. after we finished with the
authentication and Hello() phase. This API is useful for clients in
particular when using the "watch_bind" feature, as that way it can be
determined in advance whether it makes sense to sync on some operation.
These are convenience helpers that hide the match string logic (which we
probably should never have exposed), and instead just takes regular C
arguments.
We usually enqueue a number of these calls on each service
initialization. Let's do this asynchronously, and thus remove
synchronization points. This improves both performance behaviour and
reduces the chances to deadlock.
They do the same thing as their synchronous counterparts, but only
enqueue the operation, thus removing synchronization points during
service initialization.
If the callback function is passed as NULL we'll fallback to generic
implementations of the reply handlers, that terminate the connection if
the requested name cannot be acquired, under the assumption that not
being able to acquire the name is a technical problem.
This adds a "watch-bind" feature to sd-bus connections. If set and the
AF_UNIX socket we are connecting to doesn't exist yet, we'll establish
an inotify watch instead, and wait for the socket to appear. In other
words, a missing AF_UNIX just makes connecting slower.
This is useful for daemons such as networkd or resolved that shall be
able to run during early-boot, before dbus-daemon is up, and want to
connect to dbus-daemon as soon as it becomes ready.
Old libdbus has a feature that the process is terminated whenever the the bus
connection receives a disconnect. This is pretty useful on desktop apps (where
a disconnect indicates session termination), as well as on command line apps
(where we really shouldn't stay hanging in most cases if dbus daemon goes
down).
Add a similar feature to sd-bus, but make it opt-in rather than opt-out, like
it is on libdbus. Also, if the bus is attached to an event loop just exit the
event loop rather than the the whole process.
This adds an optional "recursive" counting mode to sd_bus_track. If enabled
adding the same name multiple times to an sd_bus_track object is counted
individually, so that it also has to be removed the same number of times before
it is gone again from the tracking object.
This functionality is useful for implementing local ref counted objects that
peers make take references on.
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.
This introduces two new helpers alongside sd_bus_path_{encode,decode}(),
which work similarly to their counterparts, but accept a format-string as
input. This allows encoding and decoding multiple labels of a format
string at the same time.
If code enqueues a message on one of the default busses, but doesn't
sync on it, and immediately drops the reference to the bus again, it
will stay queued and consume memory. Intrdouce a new call
sd_bus_default_flush_close() that can be invoked at the end of programs
(or threads) and flushes out all unsent messages on any of the default
busses.
All other *_get_description() functions use 'const char**', so make sure
sd_bus_slot_get_description() does the same.
This changes API, but ABI stays stable. I think this is fine, but I
wouldn't mind bumping SONAME.
Reported in #528.
sd_bus_flush_close_unref() is a call that simply combines sd_bus_flush()
(which writes all unwritten messages out) + sd_bus_close() (which
terminates the connection, releasing all unread messages) +
sd_bus_unref() (which frees the connection).
The combination of this call is used pretty frequently in systemd tools
right before exiting, and should also be relevant for most external
clients, and is hence useful to cover in a call of its own.
Previously the combination of the three calls was already done in the
_cleanup_bus_close_unref_ macro, but this was only available internally.
Also see #327
With the v221 release these APIs should be public, stable APIs, hence
let's install their headers by default now, and add their symbols to the
.sym file.
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().
Most of our client tools want to set this bit for all their method
calls, even though it defaults to off in sd-bus, and rightfully so.
Hence, to simplify thing, introduce a per sd_bus-object flag that sets
the default value for all messages created on the connection.
This implements two new helpers, discussed on systemd-devel about 1 year
ago:
sd_bus_emit_object_added()
sd_bus_emit_object_removed()
Both calls are equivalent to their respective counterpart
sd_bus_emit_interfaces_{added/removed}(), but can figure out the list of
interfaces themselves, instead of requiring the caller to provide them.
Furthermore, both calls properly deal with builtin interfaces provided via
org.freedesktop.DBus.* and alike.
Both calls simply traverse a node and all its parent nodes to figure out a
list of all interfaces registered as vtable or fallback. It then appends
each of them, similar to the interfaces_{added/removed}() helpers.
Note that interfaces_{added/removed}() runs a parent traversal for *each*
passed interface. Therefore, it can simply bail out, once it found a
parent node that implements a given interface.
With object_{added/removed}() we cannot know the registered interfaces in
advance, thus, we cannot run one traversal per node. Instead, we run a
single traversal and remember all interfaces that we added. Therefore, a
child-interface overrides all conflicting parent-interfaces. We keep a
"Set *s" context to track those while climbing up the tree.
Pretty much everywhere else we use the generic term "machine" when
referring to containers in API, so let's do though in sd-bus too. In
particular, since the concept of a "container" exists in sd-bus too, but
as part of the marshalling system.
The ELF magic cannot work for consumers of our shard library, since they
are in a different module. Hence make all the ELF magic private, and
instead introduce a public function to register additional static
mapping table.
The ID returned really doesn't identify the owner, but the bus instance,
hence fix this misnaming.
Also, update "busctl status" to show the ID in its output.
Also:
- adds support for euid, suid, fsuid, egid, sgid, fsgid fields.
- makes augmentation of creds with data from /proc explicitly
controllable to give apps better control over this, given that this is
racy.
- enables augmentation for kdbus connections (previously we only did it
for dbus1). This is useful since with recent kdbus versions it is
possible for clients to control the metadata they want to send.
- changes sd_bus_query_sender_privilege() to take the euid of the client
into consideration, if known
- when we don't have permissions to read augmentation data from /proc,
don't fail, just don't add the data in
In kdbus a "server id" is mostly a misnomer, as there isn't any "server"
involved anymore. Let's rename this to "owner" id hence, since it is an
ID that is picked by the owner of a bus or direct connection. This
matches nicely the sd_bus_get_owner_creds() call we already have.
__attribute__((used)) is not enough to force static variables to
be carried over to a compiled program from a library. Mappings defined
in libsystemd-shared.a were not visible in the compiled binaries.
To ensure that the mappings are present in the final binary, the
tables are made non-static and are given a real unique name by which
they can be referenced.
To use a mapping defined not in the local compilation unit (e.g. in
a library) a reference to the mapping table is added. This is done
by including a declaration in the header file.
Expected values in test-engine are fixed to reflect the new mappings.
Clean up the function namespace by renaming the following:
sd_bus_get_owner_uid() → sd_bus_get_name_creds_uid()
sd_bus_get_owner_machine_id() → sd_bus_get_name_machine_id()
sd_bus_get_peer_creds() → sd_bus_get_owner_creds()
