After commit c3dead53d5 the test can fail
if the procfs file(s) aren't writable, because the check for permission
failure happens after a call that will never fail, since setting the
limit to the existing limit will always pass.
This also refactors the function slightly to make the test var names
clearer.
The script contains the contents of all sys/ test files, and creates
all dirs/links/files when run. This replaces the sys.tar.xz tarball
that contained sys/, so changes to sys files only require a simple
commit in git, instead of checking in an entire new tarball for each
sys/ change.
Instead of keeping all sys/ nodes in a tarball, use a script
"sys-script.py" to create all the sys/ entries.
This adds a script to create that initial "sys-script.py" script, using
an existing sys/ directory, created from the sys.tar.xz contents.
The "sys-script.py" can then be edited or recreated later, when any sys/
files are added or modified; the change will be only a patch to the
"sys-script.py" script in git, instead of forcing git to store a new
binary tarball.
Instead of using a temp buffer to replace whitespace in variable
substitutions, just allow util_replace_whitespace to replace in-place.
Add a comment to util_replace_whitespace indicating it is used to replace
in-place, to prevent accidental future breakage.
If the string_escape option is either unset or 'replace' (i.e. if it is
not 'none'), then enable whitespace replacement in SYMLINK variable
substitution values, as added in the last patch.
This will keep any whitespace that is directly contained in a SYMLINK
value, but will replace any whitespace that is added to the SYMLINK
value as a result of variable substitution (except $result/%c).
This fixes bug 4833.
If replace_whitespace is true, each substitution value has all its
whitespace removed/replaced by util_replace_whitespace (except the
SUBST_RESULT substitution - $result{} or %c{} - which handles spaces
itself as field separators). All existing callers are updated to
pass false, so no functional change is made by this patch.
This is needed so the SYMLINK assignment can replace any spaces
introduced through variable substitution, becuase the SYMLINK value is
a space-separated list of symlinks to create. Any variables that
contain spaces will thus unexpectedly change the symlink value from
a single symlink to multiple incorrectly-named symlinks.
This is used in the next patch, which enables the whitespace
replacement for SYMLINK variable substitution.
Instead of returning 0, which is unhelpful, return the number of chars
copied into the dest string. This allows callers that care about that
to easily use it, instead of having to calculate the strlen.
No current users of the function check the return value, so this does not
break any existing code; it is used in the following patch.
