If an invalid arg appears in [Install] Alias=, WantedBy=, RequiredBy=,
we'd warn in the logs, but not propagate this information to the caller,
and in particular not over dbus. But if we call "systemctl enable" on a
unit, and the config if invalid, this information is quite important.
We save a few lines, but the important thing is that we don't have two
different implementations with slightly different rules used for enablement
and loading. Fixes#22000.
Tested with:
- the report in #22000, it now says:
$ SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug systemctl --root=/ enable test.service
Suspicious symlink /etc/systemd/system/test.service→/etc/systemd/system/myown.d/test.service, treating as alias.
unit_file_resolve_symlink: self-alias: /etc/systemd/system/test.service → test.service, ignoring.
running_in_chroot(): Permission denied
Suspicious symlink /etc/systemd/system/test.service→/etc/systemd/system/myown.d/test.service, treating as alias.
unit_file_resolve_symlink: self-alias: /etc/systemd/system/test.service → test.service, ignoring.
Failed to enable unit, refusing to operate on linked unit file test.service
- a symlink to /dev/null:
...
unit_file_resolve_symlink: linked unit file: /etc/systemd/system/test3.service → /dev/null
Failed to enable unit, unit /etc/systemd/system/test3.service is masked.
- the same from the host:
...
unit_file_resolve_symlink: linked unit file: /var/lib/machines/rawhide/etc/systemd/system/test3.service → /var/lib/machines/rawhide/dev/null
Failed to enable unit, unit /var/lib/machines/rawhide/etc/systemd/system/test3.service is masked.
- through the manager:
$ sudo systemctl enable test.service
Failed to enable unit: Refusing to operate on alias name or linked unit file: test.service
$ sudo systemctl enable test3.service
Failed to enable unit: Unit file /etc/systemd/system/test3.service is masked.
As seen in the first example, the warning is repeated. This is because we call
the lookup logic twice: first for sysv-compat, and then again for real. I think
that since this is only for broken setups, and when sysv-compat is enabled, and
in an infrequent manual operation, at debug level, this is OK.
As suggested in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/11484#issuecomment-775288617.
This does not touch anything exposed in src/systemd. Changing the defines there
would be a compatibility break.
Note that tests are broken after this commit. They will be fixed in the next one.
