Currently, reply callback timeouts are started the instant the method
calls are enqueued, which can be very early on. For example, the Hello()
method call is enqueued right when sd_bus_start() is called, i.e. before
the socket connection and everything is established.
With this change we instead start the method timeout the moment we
actually leave the authentication phase of the connection. This way, the
timeout the kernel applies on socket connecting, and we apply on the
authentication phase no longer runs in parallel to the Hello() method
call, but all three run serially one after the other, which is
definitely a cleaner approach.
Moreover, this makes the "watch bind" feature a lot more useful, as it
allows enqueuing method calls while we are still waiting for inotify
events, without them timeouting until the connection is actually
established, i.e. when the method call actually has a chance of being
actually run.
This is a change of behaviour of course, but I think the new behaviour
is much better than the old one, since we don't race timeouts against
each other anymore...
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.
If we can't process the bus for some reason we shouldn't just disable
the event source, but log something and give up on the connection. Hence
do that, and disconnect.
Currently, when sd-bus is used to issue a method call, and we get a
reply and the specified reply handler fails, we log this locally at
debug priority and proceed. The idea is that a bad server-side reply
should not be fatal for the program, except when the developer
explicitly terminates the event loop.
The reply to the initial Hello() method call we issue when joining a bus
should not be handled like that however. Instead, propagate the error
immediately, as anything that is wrong with the Hello() reply should be
considered a fatal connection problem.
THe match cookie was used by kdbus to identify matches we install
uniquely. But given that kdbus is gone, the cookie serves no process
anymore, let's kill it.
When debug logging is enabled we show brief information about every bus
message we send or receieve. Pretty much all information is shown,
except for the error name if a message is an error (interestingly we do
print the error text however). Fix that, and add the error name as well.
This prevents `systemctl` from runnning /bin/touch when the following
command is used:
```
systemctl -H '-oProxyCommand=/bin/touch i-shouldnt-be-here' show-environment
```

Closes#6481
Some kdbus_flag and memfd related parts are left behind, because they
are entangled with the "legacy" dbus support.
test-bus-benchmark is switched to "manual". It was already broken before
(in the non-kdbus mode) but apparently nobody noticed. Hopefully it can
be fixed later.
This moves pretty much all uses of getpid() over to getpid_raw(). I
didn't specifically check whether the optimization is worth it for each
replacement, but in order to keep things simple and systematic I
switched over everything at once.
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.
If the server side kicks us from the bus, from our view no names are on the bus
anymore, hence let's make sure to dispatch all tracking objects immediately.
The macro determines the right length of a AF_UNIX "struct sockaddr_un" to pass to
connect() or bind(). It automatically figures out if the socket refers to an
abstract namespace socket, or a socket in the file system, and properly handles
the full length of the path field.
This macro is not only safer, but also simpler to use, than the usual
offsetof() + strlen() logic.
Throughout the tree there's spurious use of spaces separating ++ and --
operators from their respective operands. Make ++ and -- operator
consistent with the majority of existing uses; discard the spaces.
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.
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.
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.
Whenever we run in a user context, sd_bus_{default_user,open_user}() and
friends should always connect to the user-bus of the current context,
instead of deriving the uid from getuid(). This allows us running
programs via sudo/su, without the nasty side-effect of accidentally
connecting to the root user-bus.
This patch enforces the idea of making su/sudo *not* opening sessions by
default. That is, all they do is raising privileges, but keeping
everything set as before. You can still use su/sudo to open real sessions
by requesting a login-session (or loading pam_systemd otherwise).
However, in this case XDG_RUNTIME_DIR= will not be set (as usual in these
cases), hence, you will not be able to connect to *any* user-bus.
Long story short: With this patch applied, both:
- ./busctl --user
- sudo ./busctl --user
..will successfully connect to the user-bus of the local user.
Fixes#390.
We should never connect to the host bus as fallback if connecting to a
container failed via one method. Otherwise connecting to a dbus1
container will always result in a connection to the host.
We should not fall back to dbus-1 and connect to the proxy when kdbus
returns an error that indicates that kdbus is running but just does not
accept new connections because of quota limits or something similar.
Based on a patch by Kay.
This reverts commit d4d00020d6. The idea of
the commit is broken and needs to be reworked. We really cannot reduce
the bus-addresses to a single address. We always will have systemd with
native clients and legacy clients at the same time, so we also need both
addresses at the same time.
As it turns out machine_name_is_valid() does the exact same thing as
hostname_is_valid() these days, as it just invoked that and checked the
name length was < 64. However, hostname_is_valid() checks the length
against HOST_NAME_MAX anyway (which is 64 on Linux), hence any
additional check is redundant.
We hence replace machine_name_is_valid() by a macro that simply maps it
to hostname_is_valid() but sets the allow_trailing_dot parameter to
false. We also move this this call to hostname-util.h, to the same place
as the hostname_is_valid() declaration.
Whenever one of our calls is invoked with a non-NULL, writable
sd_bus_error parameter, let's fill in some valid error on failure. We
previously only filled in remote errors, but never local errors, which is
hard to handle by users. Hence, let's clean this up to always fill in
the error.
This introduces a new bus_assert_return() macro that works like
assert_return() but optionally also initializes a bus_error struct.
Fixes#224.

We should not fall back to dbus-1 and connect to the proxy when kdbus
returns an error that indicates that kdbus is running but just does not
accept new connections because of quota limits or something similar.
Using is_kdbus_available() in libsystemd/ requires it to move from
shared/ to libsystemd/.
