This way we have four kinds of properties:
a) those which are constant as long as an object exists
b) those which can change and PropertiesChange messages with contents are generated
c) those which can change and where the PropertesChange merely includes invalidation
d) those which can change but for which no events are generated
Clients (through code generators run on the introspection XML) can thus
aggressively cache a, b, c, with only d excluded.
With this change a failing event source handler will not cause the
entire event loop to fail. Instead, we just disable the specific event
source, log a message at debug level and go on.
This also introduces a new concept of "exit code" which can be stored in
the event loop and is returned by sd_event_loop(). We also rename "quit"
to "exit" everywhere else.
Altogether this should make things more robus and keep errors local
while still providing a way to return event loop errors in a clear way.
Process a DHCP Ack/Nak in much the same way as an DHCP Offer. Factor
out header verification and process options sent. Add notification
functionality with discrete values for the outcome of the DHCP Ack/
Nak processing.
Require a main loop to be set when creating a DHCP client. Set up
a timer to resend DHCP Discover messages and add a 0-2 second
delay to the timeout value. Move to state Selecting after successful
sending of a Discover message.
On starting the client, use the supplied interface mac address and create
a transaction id. Puzzle together an IP/UDP/DHCP Discover message, compute
checksums and send it out as a raw packet.
Create an additional function that constructs default options common to
all DHCP messages.
Set the DHCP Client ID option as noticed by Grant Erickson in ConnMan
commit b18d9798b3a0ae46ed87d6d2be8d5a474bf3ab1e:
"Some Internet gateways and Wi-Fi access points are unhappy when the
DHCPv4 client-id option (61) is missing and will refuse to issue a
DHCP lease."
Provide functionality for initializing a DHCP client struct, setting
interface index, last used address and additional options to request.
On initialization the most useful options are added by default.
This adds the new library call sd_journal_open_container() and a new
"-M" switch to journalctl. Particular care is taken that journalctl's
"-b" switch resolves to the current boot ID of the container, not the
host.
Adds a new call sd_event_set_watchdog() that can be used to hook up the
event loop with the watchdog supervision logic of systemd. If enabled
and $WATCHDOG_USEC is set the event loop will ping the invoking systemd
daemon right after coming back from epoll_wait() but not more often than
$WATCHDOG_USEC/4. The epoll_wait() will sleep no longer than
$WATCHDOG_USEC/4*3, to make sure the service manager is called in time.
This means that setting WatchdogSec= in a .service file and calling
sd_event_set_watchdog() in your daemon is enough to hook it up with the
watchdog logic.
When this flag is set then its member will not be shown in the
introspection data. Also, properties with this flag set will not be
included in GetAll() responses.
Introduces a new concept of "trusted" vs. "untrusted" busses. For the
latter libsystemd-bus will automatically do per-method access control,
for the former all access is automatically granted. Per-method access
control is encoded in the vtables: by default all methods are only
accessible to privileged clients. If the SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED flag
is set for a method it is accessible to unprivileged clients too. By
default whether a client is privileged is determined via checking for
its CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability, but this can be altered via the
SD_BUS_VTABLE_CAPABILITY() macro that can be ORed into the flags field
of the method.
Writable properties are also subject to SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED and
SD_BUS_VTABLE_CAPABILITY() for controlling write access to them. Note
however that read access is unrestricted, as PropertiesChanged messages
might send out the values anyway as an unrestricted broadcast.
By default the system bus is set to "untrusted" and the user bus is
"trusted" since per-method access control on the latter is unnecessary.
On dbus1 busses we check the UID of the caller rather than the
configured capability since the capability cannot be determined without
race. On kdbus the capability is checked if possible from the attached
meta-data of a message and otherwise queried from the sending peer.
This also decorates the vtables of the various daemons we ship with
these flags.
Instead of returning an enum of return codes, make them return error
codes like kdbus does internally.
Also, document this behaviour so that clients can stick to it.
(Also rework bus-control.c to always have to functions for dbus1 vs.
kernel implementation of the various calls.)
(also, rename _SD_BUS_CREDS_MAX to _SD_BUX_CRED_ALL, since "MAX" so far
was used to indicate one higher than the highest valid value, and this
is not correct here.)
This way we can unify handling of credentials that are attached to
messages, or can be queried for bus name owners or connection peers.
This also adds the ability to extend incomplete credential information
with data from /proc,
Also, provide a convenience call that will automatically determine the
most appropriate credential object for an incoming message, by using the
the attached information if possible, the sending name information if
available and otherwise the peer's credentials.
Message handler callbacks can be simplified drastically if the
dispatcher automatically replies to method calls if errors are returned.
Thus: add an sd_bus_error argument to all message handlers. When we
dispatch a message handler and it returns negative or a set sd_bus_error
we send this as message error back to the client. This means errors
returned by handlers by default are given back to clients instead of
rippling all the way up to the event loop, which is desirable to make
things robust.
As a side-effect we can now easily turn the SELinux checks into normal
function calls, since the method call dispatcher will generate the right
error replies automatically now.
Also, make sure we always pass the error structure to all property and
method handlers as last argument to follow the usual style of passing
variables for return values as last argument.
This patch converts PID 1 to libsystemd-bus and thus drops the
dependency on libdbus. The only remaining code using libdbus is a test
case that validates our bus marshalling against libdbus' marshalling,
and this dependency can be turned off.
This patch also adds a couple of things to libsystem-bus, that are
necessary to make the port work:
- Synthesizing of "Disconnected" messages when bus connections are
severed.
- Support for attaching multiple vtables for the same interface on the
same path.
This patch also fixes the SetDefaultTarget() and GetDefaultTarget() bus
calls which used an inappropriate signature.
As a side effect we will now generate PropertiesChanged messages which
carry property contents, rather than just invalidation information.
