It's not a good idea to create subvolumes for parts of the OS tree (such
as /home, or /var) if the root directory is not a subvolume too. We
shouldn't assume control of "heavier" objects such as subvolumes, if the
originating object (the root directory) is a "light-weight" object, i.e.
a plain directory.
Effectively this means that chroot() environments that are run on a
plain directory do not have to deal with problems around systemd
creating subvolumes that cannot be removed with a simple "rm" anymore.
However, if the chroot manager creates a proper subvolume for such an
environment it will also get further subvolumes placed in there, under
the assumption that the manager understands the concept of subvolumes in
that case.
The macro is generically useful for putting together search paths, hence
let's make it truly generic, by dropping the implicit ".d" appending it
does, and leave that to the caller. Also rename it from
CONF_DIRS_NULSTR() to CONF_PATHS_NULSTR(), since it's not strictly about
dirs that way, but any kind of file system path.
Also, mark CONF_DIR_SPLIT_USR() as internal macro by renaming it to
_CONF_PATHS_SPLIT_USR() so that the leading underscore indicates that
it's internal.
The files are named too generically, so that they might conflict with
the upstream project headers. Hence, let's add a "-util" suffix, to
clarify that this are just our utility headers and not any official
upstream headers.
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.
get_current_dir_name() can return a variety of errors, not just ENOMEM,
hence don't blindly turn its errors to ENOMEM, but return correct errors
in path_make_absolute_cwd().
This trickles down into a couple of other functions, some of which
receive unrelated minor fixes too with this commit.
This also allows us to drop build.h from a ton of files, hence do so.
Since we touched the #includes of those files, let's order them properly
according to CODING_STYLE.
This downgrades errors from setting file attributes via tmpfiles to
warnings and makes them non-fatal.
Also, as a special case, if a file system does not support file
attributes at all, then the message is downgraded to debug, so that it
is not seen at all.
With this change reiserfs should not see any messages at all anymore
(since it apparently does not implement file attributes at all), but XFS
will still get a warning but no failure. The warning is something the
XFS kernel folks should fix though, by adjusting their file attributes
behaviour to be identical to ext234's.
Fixes#560.
So far a number of utilities implemented their own calls for this, unify
them in prefix_root() and prefix_roota(). The former uses heap memory,
the latter allocates from the stack via alloca().
Port over most users of a --root= logic.
On read-only filesystems trying to create the target will not fail with
EEXIST but with EROFS. Handle EROFS by checking if the target already
exists, and if empty when truncating.
This avoids reporting errors if tmpfiles doesn't actually needs to do
anything.
[zj: revert condition to whitelist rather then blacklisting, and add goto
to avoid stat'ting twice.]
We should try to execute them in the same order they appear in the
configuration files, as it is documented. Hence move to an ordered
hashmap.
(Note though, that this still doesn't execute them completely in order:
we will still apply non-glob lines before glob-lines, and reorder lines
prefixing each other and that apply to the same paths).

Always create files first, and then adjust their ACLs, xattrs, file
attributes, never the opposite. Previously the order was not
deterministic, thus possibly first adjusting ACLs/xattrs/file
attributes before actually creating the items.
