The only way to control "ShowStatus" property programmatically was to use the
signal API and wait until the property "ShowStatus" switched to the new value.
This interface is rather cumbersome to use and doesn't allow to temporarily
override the current setting and later restore the overridden value in
race-free manner.
The new method also accepts the empty string as argument which allows to
restore the initial value of ShowStatus, ie the value before it was overridden
by this method.
Fixes: #11447.
The fact that m->show_status was serialized/deserialized made impossible any
further customisation of this setting via system.conf. IOW the value was
basically always locked unless it was changed via signals.
This patch reworks the handling of m->show_status but also makes sure that if a
new value was changed via the signal API then this value is kept and preserved
accross PID1 reexecuting or reloading.
Note: this effectively means that once the value is set via the signal
interface, it can be changed again only through the signal API.
The name 'manager_get_show_status()' suggests that the function simply reads
the property 'show_status' of the manager and hence returns a 'StatusType'
value.
However it was doing more than that since it contained the logic (based on
'show_status' but also on the state of the manager) to figure out if status
message could be emitted to the console.
Hence this patch renames the function to 'manager_should_show_status()'. The
previous name will be reused in a later patch to effectively return the value
of 'show_status' property.
No functional change.
After today's Arch Linux image update, there seems to be a slight change
in delay reporting which breaks some asserts in
systemd-networkd-tests.py:
Expected:
limit 100 delay 50.0ms 10.0ms loss 20%
Current:
limit 100 delay 50ms 10ms loss 20%
Let's allow "-0" as alternative to "+0" and "0" when parsing integers,
unless the new SAFE_ATO_REFUSE_PLUS_MINUS flag is specified.
In cases where allowing the +/- syntax shall not be allowed
SAFE_ATO_REFUSE_PLUS_MINUS is the right flag to use, but this also means
that -0 as only negative integer that fits into an unsigned value should
be acceptable if the flag is not specified.
Note that run_test() calls coredumpctl in a loop because in certain
environments (1 vCPU unaccelerated QEMU VM) it might take quite a
while to process the coredump.
Add a "org.freedesktop.network1.DHCPServer" DBus interface that will be
added on a link path where a DHCP server is provided.
Currently, it only exposes a "Leases" property, although there are plans
to expand it further. The property is updated thanks to the
dhcp_server_callback().
