Add a new config 'Activating' directive which denotes whether a busname
is actually registered on the bus. It defaults to 'yes'.
If set to 'no', the .busname unit only uploads policy, which will remain
active as long as the unit is running.
AcceptFD= defaults to true, thus making sure that by default fd passing
is enabled for all activatable names. Since for normal bus connections
fd passing is enabled too by default this makes sure fd passing works
correctly regardless whether a service is already activated or not.
Making this configurable on both busname units and in bus connections is
messy, but unavoidable since busnames are established and may queue
messages before the connection feature negotiation is done by the
service eventually activated. Conversely, feature negotiation on bus
connections takes place before the connection acquires its names.
Of course, this means developers really should make sure to keep the
settings in .busname units in sync with what they later intend to
negotiate.
safe_close() automatically becomes a NOP when a negative fd is passed,
and returns -1 unconditionally. This makes it easy to write lines like
this:
fd = safe_close(fd);
Which will close an fd if it is open, and reset the fd variable
correctly.
By making use of this new scheme we can drop a > 200 lines of code that
was required to test for non-negative fds or to reset the closed fd
variable afterwards.
Activator connections may upload policy when registering to the bus.
This patch contains code to translate between BusNamePolicy objects and
the kdbus specific items.
There are three directives to specify bus name polices in .busname
files:
* AllowUser [username] [access]
* AllowGroup [groupname] [access]
* AllowWorld [access]
Where [access] is one of
* 'see': The user/group/world is allowed to see a name on the bus
* 'talk': The user/group/world is allowed to talk to a name
* 'own': The user/group/world is allowed to own a name
There is no user added yet in this commit.
When a busname unit enters BUSNAME_FAILURE_SERVICE_FAILED_PERMANENT, the
serialization will not be able to look up the result as string via
busname_result_to_string(). This leads to an assertion trap during
daemon-reexec.
Previously the returned object of constructor functions where sometimes
returned as last, sometimes as first and sometimes as second parameter.
Let's clean this up a bit. Here are the new rules:
1. The object the new object is derived from is put first, if there is any
2. The object we are creating will be returned in the next arguments
3. This is followed by any additional arguments
Rationale:
For functions that operate on an object we always put that object first.
Constructors should probably not be too different in this regard. Also,
if the additional parameters might want to use varargs which suggests to
put them last.
Note that this new scheme only applies to constructor functions, not to
all other functions. We do give a lot of freedom for those.
Note that this commit only changes the order of the new functions we
added, for old ones we accept the wrong order and leave it like that.
