Apparently this originated in PHP, so the json output could be directly
embedded in HTML script tags.
See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1580647/json-why-are-forward-slashes-escaped.
Since the output of our tools is not intended directly for web page generation,
let's not do this unescaping. If needed, the consumer can always do escaping as
appropriate for the target format.
Fixes#10526.
Even if we waited for the root device to appear, the mount could still fail if
we didn't wait for udev to initalize the device. In particular, the
/dev/block/n:m path used to mount the device is created by udev, and nspawn
would sometimes win the race and the mount would fail with -ENOENT.
The same wait is done for partitions, since if we try to mount them, the same
considerations apply.
Note: I first implemented a version which just does a loop (with a short wait).
In that approach, udev takes on average ~800 µs to initialize the loopback
device. The approach where we set up a monitor and avoid the loop is a bit
nicer. There doesn't seem to be a significant difference in speed.
With 1000 invocations of 'systemd-nspawn -i image.squashfs echo':
loop (previous approach):
real 4m52.625s
user 0m37.094s
sys 2m14.705s
monitor (this patch):
real 4m50.791s
user 0m36.619s
sys 2m14.039s
dissect-image would wait for the root device and paritions to appear. But if we
had an image with no partitions, we'd not wait at all. If the kernel or udev
were slow in creating device nodes or symlinks, subsequent mount attempt might
fail if nspawn won the race.
Calling wait_for_partitions_to_appear() in case of no partitions means that we
verify that the kernel agrees that there are no partitions. We verify that the
kernel sees the same number of partitions as blkid, so let's that also in this
case.
This makes the failure in #10526 much less likely, but doesn't eliminate it
completely. Stay tuned.
The function interface is the same, except that the output pointer may be NULL.
The implementation is slightly simplified by taking advantage of changes in
ancestor commit 'sd-device: attempt to read db again if it wasn't found', by
not creating a new sd_device object before re-checking the is_initialized
status.
v2:
- In v1, the old object was always used and the device received back from the
sd_device_monitor_start callback was ignored. I *think* the result will be
equivalent in both cases, because by the time we the callback gets called,
the db entry in the filesystem will also exist, and any subsequent access to
properties of the object would trigger a read of the database from disk. But
I'm not certain, and anyway, using the device object received in the callback
seems cleaner.
Apparently, people do use nscd, hence play somewhat nice with it, and
let's explicitly flush nscd caches whenever we register a new
user/group.
This patch only adds the actual refresh request invocation. Later
commits then issue this call at appropriate moments.
Note that the nscd protocol is not officially documented though very
simple. This code is written very defensively so that incompatibilities
don't affect us much.
Given that glibc really has a duty to maintain compat between
differently compiled programs and their system nscd they can't break API
and thus it should be safe for us to implement an alternative,
minimalistic client.
Ideally this kind of explicit, global cache flushing would not be necessary.
However nscd currently has no cache coherency protocol, hence we can't
really implement this better. The only concept it knows is a TTL for
positive hosts lookups. Hoewver for negative lookups or any of the other
tables nothing is available.
This has been irritating me for quite a while: let's prefix these enum
values with a common prefix, like we do for almost all other enums.
No change in behaviour, just some renaming.
In #10583, a unit file lives in ~/.config/systemd/user, and
'systemctl --runtime --user mask' is used to create a symlink in /run.
This symlink has lower priority than the config file, so
'systemctl --user' will happily load the unit file, and does't care about
the symlink at all.
But when asked if the unit is enabled, we'd look for all symlinks, find the
symlink in the runtime directory, and report that the unit is runtime-enabled.
In this particular case the fact that the symlink points at /dev/null, creates
additional confusion, but it doesn't really matter: *any* symlink (or regular
file) that is lower in the priority order is "covered" by the unit fragment,
and should be ignored.
Fixes#10583.
The name argument in UnitFileInstallInfo (i->name) should always be a unit
file name, so the conditional always takes the 'else' branch.
The only call chain that links to find_symlinks_fd() is unit_file_lookup_state
→ find_symlinks_in_scope → find_symlinks → find_symlinks_fd. But
unit_file_lookup_state calls unit_name_is_valid(name), and then name is used
to construct the UnitFileInstallInfo object in install_info_discover, which just
uses the name it was given.
There should be no functional difference, except that the error message
is changd from "three or no arguments" to "zero or three arguments". Somehow
the inverted form always seemed strange.
umask() call is also dropped from run-generator. I think it wasn't dropped in
053254e3cb because the run generator was merged
around the same time.
fdopen doesn't accept "e", it's ignored. Let's not mislead people into
believing that it actually sets O_CLOEXEC.
From `man 3 fdopen`:
> e (since glibc 2.7):
> Open the file with the O_CLOEXEC flag. See open(2) for more information. This flag is ignored for fdopen()
As mentioned by @jlebon in #11131.
It would be very wrong if any of the specfier printf calls modified
any of the objects or data being printed. Let's mark all arguments as const
(primarily to make it easier for the reader to see where modifications cannot
occur).
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1035#section-2.3.1 says (approximately)
that only letters, numbers, and non-leading non-trailing dashes are allowed
(for entries with A/AAAA records). We set no restrictions.
hosts(5) says:
> Host names may contain only alphanumeric characters, minus signs ("-"), and
> periods ("."). They must begin with an alphabetic character and end with an
> alphanumeric character.
nss-files follows those rules, and will ignore names in /etc/hosts that do not
follow this rule.
Let's follow the documented rules for /etc/hosts. In particular, this makes us
consitent with nss-files, reducing surprises for the user.
I'm pretty sure we should apply stricter filtering to names received over DNS
and LLMNR and MDNS, but it's a bigger project, because the rules differ
depepending on which level the label appears (rules for top-level names are
stricter), and this patch takes the minimalistic approach and only changes
behaviour for /etc/hosts.
Escape syntax is also disallowed in /etc/hosts, even if the resulting character
would be allowed. Other tools that parse /etc/hosts do not support this, and
there is no need to use it because no allowed characters benefit from escaping.
The table cell reusing code is supposed to be an internal memory
optimization, and not more. This means behaviour should be the same as
if we wouldn't reuse cells.
This adds a per-cell option for uppercasing displayed strings.
Implicitly turn this on for the header row. The fact that we format the
table header in uppercase is a formatting thing after all, hence should
be applied by the formatter, i.e. the table display code.
Moreover, this provides us with the benefit that we can more nicely
reuse the specified table headers as JSON field names, like we already
do: json field names are usually not uppercase.
Since .timespan and .timestamp are unionized on top of each other this
doesn't actually matter, but it is still more correct to address it
under it's correct name.
