We allocated the names set for each unit, but in the majority of cases, we'd
put only one name in the set:
$ systemctl show --value -p Names '*'|grep .|grep -v ' '|wc -l
564
$ systemctl show --value -p Names '*'|grep .|grep ' '|wc -l
16
So let's add a separate .id field, and only store aliases in the set, and only
create the set if there's at least one alias. This requires a bit of gymnastics
in the code, but I think this optimization is worth the trouble, because we
save one object for many loaded units.
In particular set_complete_move() wasn't very useful because the target
unit would always have at least one name defined, i.e. the optimization to
move the whole set over would never fire.
Don't try to show top level drop-in for non-existent units or when trying to
instantiate non-instantiated units:
$ systemctl cat nonexistent@.service
Assertion 'name' failed at src/shared/dropin.c:143, function unit_file_find_dirs(). Aborting.
$ systemctl cat systemd-journald@.service
Assertion 'name' failed at src/shared/dropin.c:143, function unit_file_find_dirs(). Aborting.
Discussed in #13743, the -.service semantic conflicts with the
existing root mount and slice names, making this feature not
uniformly extensible to all types. Change the name to be
<type>.d instead.
Updating to this format also extends the top-level dropin to
unit types.
chase_symlinks() would return negative on error, and either a non-negative status
or a non-negative fd when CHASE_OPEN was given. This made the interface quite
complicated, because dependning on the flags used, we would get two different
"types" of return object. Coverity was always confused by this, and flagged
every use of chase_symlinks() without CHASE_OPEN as a resource leak (because it
would this that an fd is returned). This patch uses a saparate output parameter,
so there is no confusion.
(I think it is OK to have functions which return either an error or an fd. It's
only returning *either* an fd or a non-fd that is confusing.)
Ideally, coccinelle would strip unnecessary braces too. But I do not see any
option in coccinelle for this, so instead, I edited the patch text using
search&replace to remove the braces. Unfortunately this is not fully automatic,
in particular it didn't deal well with if-else-if-else blocks and ifdefs, so
there is an increased likelikehood be some bugs in such spots.
I also removed part of the patch that coccinelle generated for udev, where we
returns -1 for failure. This should be fixed independently.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
This is mostly fall-out from d1a1f0aaf0,
however some cases are older bugs.
There might be more issues lurking, this was a simple grep for "%m"
across the tree, with all lines removed that mention "errno" at all.
This extends the logic by which we look for drop-ins for unit files when
loading them. Previously for a unit "foo-quux-bar.service" we'd look in
a directory "foo-quux-bar.service.d" accompanying it for extension
dropins. With this change we'll additionally look in:
"foo-quux-.service.d" and "foo-.service.d", i.e. we'll truncate the unit
name after every dash.
This is an alternative to templating for many services, as it permits
configuring defaults for sets of units that all use the same prefix in
the unit name. This is particularly useful in slice, mount and
automount units which reflect a hierarchy of concepts, as it permits
setting defaults for specific subsets of the tree. For example, in order
to provide every user with a memory of 1G it's now possible to do:
# mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/user-.slice.d
# cat > /etc/systemd/system/user-.slice.d/50-memory.conf << EOF
[Slice]
MemoryMax=1G
EOF
# systemctl daemon-reload
This makes use of the fact that every user gets his own slice unit when
logging in, named "user-$UID.slice".
This doesn't precisely provide what is requested in #2556, but it does
provide equivalent functionality.
Fixes: #2556
See: #3504#7599
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
This usually happens for device units with long
path in /sys. But users can't even create such drop-ins,
so lets just ignore the error here.
Fixes#6867
After generating the template name we can shortcut things and just call
unit_file_find_dirs() from inside itself, just with the new name and
save a good number of duplicate lines.
Essentially, instead of sequentially adding deps based on all symlinks
encountered in .wants and .requires dirs for each name and each unit file load
path, iteratate over the load paths and unit names gathering symlinks, then
order them based on priority, and then iterate over the final list, adding
dependencies.
This patch doesn't change the logic too much, except that the order in which
dependencies are applied might be different. It wasn't defined before, so that
not really a change. Adding filtering on the symlinks is left for later
patches.
The general rule is:
- code in shared/ should take an "original_root" argument (possibly NULL)
and pass it along down to chase_symlinks
- code in core/ should always use specify original_root==NULL, since we
don't support running the manager from non-root directory
- code in systemctl and other tools should pass arg_root.
For any code that is called from tools which support --root, chase_symlinks
must be used to look up paths.
In standard linux parlance, "hidden" usually means that the file name starts
with ".", and nothing else. Rename the function to convey what the function does
better to casual readers.
Stop exposing hidden_file_allow_backup which is rather ugly and rewrite
hidden_file to extract the suffix first. Note that hidden_file_allow_backup
excluded files with "~" at the end, which is quite confusing. Let's get
rid of it before it gets used in the wrong place.
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.
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
Also, rename filename_is_safe() to filename_is_valid(), since it
actually does a full validation for what the kernel will accept as file
name, it's not just a heuristic.
Instead of adjusting job timeouts in the core, let fstab-generator
write out a dropin snippet with the appropriate JobTimeout.
x-systemd-device.timeout option is removed from Options= line
in the generated unit.
The functions to write dropins are moved from core/unit.c to
shared/dropin.c, to make them available outside of core.
generator.c is moved to libsystemd-label, because it now uses
functions defined in dropin.c, which are in libsystemd-label.
