Don't try to show top level drop-in for non-existent units or when trying to
instantiate non-instantiated units:
$ systemctl cat nonexistent@.service
Assertion 'name' failed at src/shared/dropin.c:143, function unit_file_find_dirs(). Aborting.
$ systemctl cat systemd-journald@.service
Assertion 'name' failed at src/shared/dropin.c:143, function unit_file_find_dirs(). Aborting.
Discussed in #13743, the -.service semantic conflicts with the
existing root mount and slice names, making this feature not
uniformly extensible to all types. Change the name to be
<type>.d instead.
Updating to this format also extends the top-level dropin to
unit types.
chase_symlinks() would return negative on error, and either a non-negative status
or a non-negative fd when CHASE_OPEN was given. This made the interface quite
complicated, because dependning on the flags used, we would get two different
"types" of return object. Coverity was always confused by this, and flagged
every use of chase_symlinks() without CHASE_OPEN as a resource leak (because it
would this that an fd is returned). This patch uses a saparate output parameter,
so there is no confusion.
(I think it is OK to have functions which return either an error or an fd. It's
only returning *either* an fd or a non-fd that is confusing.)
Ideally, coccinelle would strip unnecessary braces too. But I do not see any
option in coccinelle for this, so instead, I edited the patch text using
search&replace to remove the braces. Unfortunately this is not fully automatic,
in particular it didn't deal well with if-else-if-else blocks and ifdefs, so
there is an increased likelikehood be some bugs in such spots.
I also removed part of the patch that coccinelle generated for udev, where we
returns -1 for failure. This should be fixed independently.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
This is mostly fall-out from d1a1f0aaf0,
however some cases are older bugs.
There might be more issues lurking, this was a simple grep for "%m"
across the tree, with all lines removed that mention "errno" at all.
This extends the logic by which we look for drop-ins for unit files when
loading them. Previously for a unit "foo-quux-bar.service" we'd look in
a directory "foo-quux-bar.service.d" accompanying it for extension
dropins. With this change we'll additionally look in:
"foo-quux-.service.d" and "foo-.service.d", i.e. we'll truncate the unit
name after every dash.
This is an alternative to templating for many services, as it permits
configuring defaults for sets of units that all use the same prefix in
the unit name. This is particularly useful in slice, mount and
automount units which reflect a hierarchy of concepts, as it permits
setting defaults for specific subsets of the tree. For example, in order
to provide every user with a memory of 1G it's now possible to do:
# mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/user-.slice.d
# cat > /etc/systemd/system/user-.slice.d/50-memory.conf << EOF
[Slice]
MemoryMax=1G
EOF
# systemctl daemon-reload
This makes use of the fact that every user gets his own slice unit when
logging in, named "user-$UID.slice".
This doesn't precisely provide what is requested in #2556, but it does
provide equivalent functionality.
Fixes: #2556
See: #3504#7599
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
This usually happens for device units with long
path in /sys. But users can't even create such drop-ins,
so lets just ignore the error here.
Fixes#6867
After generating the template name we can shortcut things and just call
unit_file_find_dirs() from inside itself, just with the new name and
save a good number of duplicate lines.
