Even when a mount namespace is created, previously host's sysfs is used,
especially with RootDirectory= or RootImage=, thus service processes can
still access the properties of the network interfaces in the main network
namespace through sysfs.
This makes, sysfs is remounted with the new network namespace tag, except
when PrivateMounts= is explicitly disabled. Hence, the properties of the
network interfaces in the main network namespace cannot be accessed by
service processes through sysfs.
Fixes#26422.
DeviceAllow= and others are applied to the whole cgroup via bpf, so
using '+' on an Exec line will not bypass them. Explain this in the
manpage.

Fixes#25780.

Seems OK to me. The full stop is there and has been for at least a few years. And we use <option> for the markup, which is appropriate here.

This is a bit awkward, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

It was correct, but I added a comma to make the sense clearer.

"one of" would sound strange. "One this and one that" is OK.

We use <filename>systemd-logind</> on subsequent references… I think that's good enough.

Apparently this was fixed already.

"Is honoured by the initrd" is OK, because we often speak about the initrd as a single unit. But in the same paragraph we also used "in the initrd", which makes the other use look sloppy. I changed it to "in the initrd" everywhere in that file.

This is autogenerated from files… We use slightly different markup in different files, and it's just too hard to make it consistent. We gave up on this.

The man page doesn't seem to be in any of the canonical places on the web.
I added a link to online docs.

A period is added. Not sure if there's some other issue.

Due to policy checks against system users this cannot currently work, and it is non-obvious.
In the future it might be implemented if support is added to dbus-broker/dbus-daemon, e.g.:
https://github.com/bus1/dbus-broker/issues/259
Define new unit parameter (LogFilterPatterns) to filter logs processed by
journald.
This option is used to store a regular expression which is carried from
PID1 to systemd-journald through a cgroup xattrs:
`user.journald_log_filter_patterns`.
When a service is triggered by a path unit, pass the
path unit name and the path that triggered it via env vars
to the spawned processes.
Note that this is best-effort, as there might be many triggers
at the same time, but we only get woken up by one.
This imports credentials also via SMBIOS' "OEM vendor string" section,
similar to the existing import logic from fw_cfg.
Functionality-wise this is very similar to the existing fw_cfg logic,
both of which are easily settable on the qemu command line.
Pros and cons of each:
SMBIOS OEM vendor strings:
- pro: fast, because memory mapped
- pro: somewhat VMM independent, at least in theory
- pro: qemu upstream sees this as the future
- pro: no additional kernel module needed
- con: strings only, thus binary data is base64 encoded
fw_cfg:
- pro: has been supported for longer in qemu
- pro: supports binary data
- con: slow, because IO port based
- con: only qemu
- con: requires qemu_fw_cfg.ko kernel module
- con: qemu upstream sees this as legacy
