I am really not a fan of full code lines passed to macros as parameters.
Let's get rid of the 3rd parameter of FOREACH_OPTION() hence:
1. Let's return errors just as a regular value (though a negative one),
that can be handled via a OPTION_ERROR case statement for the switch.
This normalizes handling of the error, just like any other event
returned by the option parser.
2. In order to avoid exploding the amount of boilerplate in each use
(that just propagates the error on OPTION_ERROR), let's then
introduce an explicit FOREACH_OPTION_OR_RETURN(), that returns from
the calling function on its own (and makes that clear in the name).
Together this cleans up, normalizes the logic and shortens the code.
It was requested to make the 'c', 'opt', and 'arg' params the same, i.e.
defined through the FOREACH_OPTION macro. But we can't do that easily,
because 'c' was defined in the for loop definition, and we can only
define variables of the same type in that way. Also, in some cases we
need only 'c', in other cases with need 'c' and 'arg, in some cases 'c'
and 'opt', and in other cases all three. We'd need to either
conditionalize or mark those variables with _unused_ to deal with
compiler warnings. But a different approach works quite nicely: add
state.opt and state.arg to show the current option and it's argument.
(The short names are picked on purpose to reduce verbosity since those
are used a lot.)
We generally want to print an error message if table_print()
fails. Add a helper function for this and use it consistently.
This does one of the three things depending on the call site:
- a no-change reformatting of the code
- change from a custom message to the generic one
- addition of the error message where previously none was printed
In the third case, the actual use impact is very small, since the
table formatting is very unlikely to fail. But if it did, we would
often return an error without any message whatsoever, which we
never want to do.
Almost all callers of table_print() specify stdout or NULL (equivalent
to stdout) as the output stream. Simplify things by not requiring the
the stream to be specified.
In almost all cases, the printing of the table is surrounded by normal
printfs() that don't do explicit flushing and for which we don't check
the output stream status. Let's simplify most callers and skip this
step. The reason is not so much to avoid the extra step itself, but
instead to avoid the _handling_ of the potential failure. We generally
only want to print an error message for ENOMEM and other "internal"
errors, so strictly speaking we should filter out the errors from the
stream. By skipping the flush&check step we implicitly do this.
We often have a pattern where the same verb function is used for
multiple actions. This leads to an antipattern where we figure out what
action needs to be taken from argv[0] multiple times: often once in
parse_argv() to figure out what options are allowed, then once again
implicitly in dispatch_verb(), and then again in the action verb itself.
Let's allow passing a parameter into the verb to simplify this.
This matches a pattern we have in conf-parser.h, where we have both
void *userdata (more global) and void *data (per-config item). Here,
I opted for uintptr_t userdata. It seems that most of the time we'll
want to just pass an enum value. This works OK with no casts. I also
tried a void* and union. In both cases, much more boilerplate is needed:
either a cast or a macro to help avoid compiler warnings. uintptr_t
seems generic enough to cover foreseeable usecases with no fuss.
This is a noop refactoring. See next commit for an example.
This commit cleans up the includes for all the small tools across
the tree.
A few cases of returning EXIT_SUCCESS are replaced with returning
0 to avoid including <stdlib.h>.
Split out of #37344.
Now that the necessary functions from log.h have been moved to macro.h,
we can stop including log.h in macro.h. This requires modifying source
files all over the tree to include log.h instead.
@poettering hrm, there's still one thing unclear to me: we currently
have no way for canceling factory reset via IPC. And adding that to
varlink service solely doesn't seem feasible either, since the state
departs from the active state of `factory-reset.target` and it would
become impossible to re-request it without restarting
`factory-reset.target` _and all dependencies_, which feels
unmaintainable.
First of all, it seems very unlikely that we'd be in the pending state
if not booted via EFI in the first place. Moreover, the operation didn't
work out, hence let's not spurious report success.
This introduces a bunch of facilities:
1. The factory-reset.target unit that requests a factory reset is now
complemented by factory-reset-now.target that executes it at next
boot.
2. This latter is added to the initial transaction via the new trivial
systemd-factory-reset-generator.
3. A tool systemd-factory-reset has been added to query, request,
cancel, complete factory reset operations (via EFI variables). Two of
these are wrapped into units that are plugged into
factory-reset.target and factory-reset-now.target respectively. The
tool also provides a simple Varlink API.
This should make things a lot cleaner, and both be useful as explicit
implementation on UEFI, and as template + hookpoints for alternative
implementations on non-UEFI.
