Fixes#17035. We use "," as the separator between arguments in fstab and crypttab
options field, but the kernel started using "," within arguments. Users will need
to escape those nested commas.
The tricky part here is that the function is not allowed to fail in this code
path. Initially, I wanted to change the return value to allow it to fail, but
this cascades through all the places where fstab_test_option() and friends are
used; updating all those sites would be a lot of work. And since quoting is not
allowed here, a simple loop with strcspn() is easy to do.
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.
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 macro will read a pointer of any type, return it, and set the
pointer to NULL. This is useful as an explicit concept of passing
ownership of a memory area between pointers.
This takes inspiration from Rust:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html#method.take
and was suggested by Alan Jenkins (@sourcejedi).
It drops ~160 lines of code from our codebase, which makes me like it.
Also, I think it clarifies passing of ownership, and thus helps
readability a bit (at least for the initiated who know the new macro)
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.
Currently we have no way how to specify dependencies between fstab
entries (or another units) in the /etc/fstab. It means that users are
forced to bypass fstab and write .mount units manually.
The patch introduces new systemd fstab options:
x-systemd.requires=<PATH>
- to specify dependence an another mount (PATH is translated to unit name)
x-systemd.requires=<UNIT>
- to specify dependence on arbitrary UNIT
x-systemd.requires-mounts-for=<PATH ...>
- to specify dependence on another paths, implemented by
RequiresMountsFor=. The option may be specified more than once.
For example two bind mounts where B depends on A:
/mnt/test/A /mnt/test/A none bind,defaults
/mnt/test/A /mnt/test/B none bind,x-systemd.requires=/mnt/test/A
More complex example with overlay FS where one mount point depends on
"low" and "upper" directories:
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/low ext4 defaults
/dev/sdc2 /mnt/high ext4 defaults
overlay /mnt/merged overlay lowerdir=/mnt/low,upperdir=/mnt/high/data,workdir=/mnt/high/work,x-systemd.requires-mounts-for=/mnt/low,x-systemd.requires-mounts-for=mnt/high

This fixes parsing of options in shared/generator.c. Existing code
had some issues:
- it would treate whitespace and semicolons as seperators. fstab(5)
is pretty clear that only commas matter. And the syntax does
not allow for spaces to be inserted in the field in fstab.
Whitespace might be escaped, but then it should not seperate
options. Treat whitespace and semicolons as any other character.
- it assumed that x-systemd.device-timeout would always be followed
by "=". But this is not guaranteed, hasmntopt will return this
option even if there's no value. Uninitialized memory could be read.
- some error paths would log, and inconsistently, some would just
return an error code.
Filtering is split out to a separate function and tests are added.
Similar code paths in other places are adjusted to use the new function.
