I had accidentally filled my /var partition. This caused backlight to fail to
start even with disk space, because the brightness files were truncated to zero
size:
systemd-backlight[624]: acpi_video0: Failed to parse brightness "": Invalid argument
systemd-backlight[624]: acpi_video0: Failed to write system 'brightness' attribute: No such device or address
systemd[1]: systemd-backlight@backlight:acpi_video0.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
systemd[1]: systemd-backlight@backlight:acpi_video0.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
systemd[1]: Failed to start Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of backlight:acpi_video0.
Handle a truncated file like non-existent file.
Too much code has been removed while replacing startswith with STARTSWITH_SET
so that every ACL specified e.g. in tmpfiles.d was parsed as a default ACL.
Currently /boot/initramfs-linux.img is used as the default initrd for ArchLinux.
Although, since the kernel modules that are not necessary for the host environment are removed from
initramfs-linux.img by mkinitcpio 's autodetect hook, the kernel modules necessary for qemu may be missing.
(ata_piix, ext4, and so on in my case.)
As a result, the test environment may not be built properly and the test will be failed.
initramfs-linux-fallback.img will skip this autodetect hook, so the test will run successfully in more
environments.
Both initramfs-linux.img and initramfs-linux-fallback.img are generated by default.
Originally commented as "devices names might have changed/swapped in the meantime",
but may not. For safety, let's block the following events with same
devpath.
This may fix#6514.
Now that add-apt-repository hasn't failed for almost two days on Semaphore
it should be safe to assume that the key has been propagated properly
and the repository is ready to be used on Travis CI.
KillMode=mixed and control group are used to indicate that all
process should be killed off. SendSIGKILL is used for services
that require a clean shutdown. These are typically database
service where a SigKilled process would result in a lengthy
recovery and who's shutdown or startup time is quite variable
(so Timeout settings aren't of use).
Here we take these two factors and refuse to start a service if
there are existing processes within a control group. Databases,
while generally having some protection against multiple instances
running, lets not stress the rigor of these. Also ExecStartPre
parts of the service aren't as rigoriously written to protect
against against multiple use.
closes#8630
A follow-up for commit a8cb1dc3e0.
Commit a8cb1dc3e0 made sure that initrd-cleanup.service won't be stopped
when initrd-switch-root.target is isolated.
However even with this change, it might happen that initrd-cleanup.service
survives the switch to rootfs (since it has no ordering constraints against
initrd-switch-root.target) and is stopped right after when default.target is
isolated. This led to initrd-cleanup.service entering in failed state as it
happens when oneshot services are stopped.
This patch along with a8cb1dc3e0 should fix issue #4343.
Fixes: #4343
We could potentially create an unterminated string and then call normal string
operations on it. Let's be more careful: first remove the suffix we ignore anyway,
then find if the string is of acceptable length, and possibly ignore it if it
is too long. The code rejects lengths above 31 bytes. Language names that are
actually used are much shorter, so this doesn't matter much.
* kernel-install: fix initrd when called as installkernel
Running make install from the kernel runs e.g.:
installkernel 4.20.5 arch/x86/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot"
Since 0912c0b80e this would
cal 90-loaderentry.install with those arguments:
add 4.20.5 /boot/... arch/x86/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot"
The two last arguments would then be handled as the initrd files.
As System.map exists in current directory but not in /boot/...
it would get copied there, and used as initrd intead of the initrd
which has been generated by dracut.
With this change, nothing changes when kernel-install is called
directly, but when it's called as installkernel, we now pass
thos arguments to 90-loaderentry.install:
add 4.20.5 /boot/... arch/x86/boot/bzImage initrd
initrd is thus detected as the file to use for the initrd, and as it
exists, nothing is copied over and the initrd line generated is
consistent with what one would expect
* kernel-install: fix dracut initrd detection when called directly
This brings back the systemd 240 behaviour when called directly too
* kernel-install: unify initrd fallback
* kernel-install: move initrd fallback handling to 90-loaderentry.install
* kernel-install: move initrd fallback just before creating loader entry
gcc-9 complains that the string may be truncated when written into the output
structure. This shouldn't happen, but if it did, in principle we could remove a
different structure (with a matching name prefix). Let's just refuse the
operation if the name doesn't fit.
Of course, this should never happen, but let's better be safe than
sorry, and abort rather than continue when a too large memory block is
allocated, simply asa safety precaution.
An early abort is better than continuing with a likely memory corruption
later.
The problem was introduced in a37422045f:
we have a unit which has a fragment, and when we'd update it based on
/proc/self/mountinfo, we'd say that e.g. What=/dev/loop8 has origin-fragment.
This commit changes two things:
- origin-fragment is changed to origin-mountinfo-implicit
- when we stop a unit, mountinfo information is flushed and all deps based
on it are dropped.
The second step is important, because when we restart the unit, we want to
notice that we have "fresh" mountinfo information. We could keep the old info
around and solve this in a different way, but keeping stale information seems
inelegant.
Fixes#11342.
