NPAR is a technology that allows a single network interface to
be divided into number of partitions. The partitions show up
as functions on the same PCI device... when there are more than
8 functions, ARI (alternative routing-ID interpretation) is
used. With ARI is enabled, the 8 bit field that normally has 5
bits for the PCI device and 3 bits for the PCI function is instead
interpreted as (implicit) device 0, with 8 bits for the function
number.
Because the linux kernel exposes the PCI device/function numbers
to userspace the same regardless of whether ARI is enabled,
systemd predictable device naming can generate unpredictable
names in this case, because network names using the PCI slot use
the function number, but not the device number, causing systemd
to generate the same name for mulitple network devices (so some
will revert to the "ethX" names).
With this patch, device naming code checks if ARI is enabled for
a PCI network device, and uses the full 8-bit function number
for naming to avoid this situation. This should improve
readability and predictability of device names.
Here is an example of how this change would affect naming:
before patch | after patch
-----------------------------
ens2f0 | ens2f0 NPAR partition 0 (in PCI slot 2)
ens2f1 | ens2f1 NPAR partition 1
...
ens2f7 | ens2f7 NPAR partition 7
eth1 | ens2f8 NPAR partition 8
eth2 | ens2f9 NPAR partition 9
With PCI SR-IOV, a number of virtual network devices can be enabled,
all of which share the same physical network device. Currently,
udev generates names for SR-IOV virtual functions as if they were
independent network devices.
With this change, the predictable network device naming code will
check if a network device is an SR-IOV virtual device, and will
generate a name based on the physical PCI device plus a "v%u"
suffix. This should improve readability and predictability of
device names.
Here is an example of how this change would affect naming:
before patch | after patch
-----------------------------
eno1 | eno1 onboard NIC, physical function
enp101s0f0 | eno1v0 onboard NIC, SR-IOV virtual func 0
enp101s0f1 | eno1v1 onboard NIC, SR-IOV virtual func 1
To generate predictable network device names, the code in
udev-builting-net_id.c tries to match the PCI device address
of the network device to the entries in /sys/bus/pci/slots.
However, sometimes the slot number is not associated the
network controller PCI device itself, but rather with one of
its parents.
This change will try to find a match in /sys/bus/pci/slots for
the parents of the PCI network device, if it doesn't find a
match for the device itself.
This reverts the mmap parts of f5aeac1439,
but keeps the part which restricts address families which works
correctly.
Unfortunately the MIPS toolchains still do not implement PT_GNU_STACK.
This means that while the commit to restrict mmap on MIPS was "correct",
it had the side effect of causing pthread_create to fail because glibc tries
to allocate an executable stack for new threads in the absense of
PT_GNU_STACK. We should wait until PT_GNU_STACK is implemented in all
the relevant parts of the toolchain (at least gcc and glibc) before
enabling this again.
Currently we add target dependencies while we are loading units. This
can create ordering loops even if configuration doesn't contain any
loop. Take for example following configuration,
$ systemctl get-default
multi-user.target
$ cat /etc/systemd/system/test.service
[Unit]
After=default.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/true
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
If we encounter such unit file early during manager start-up (e.g. load
queue is dispatched while enumerating devices due to SYSTEMD_WANTS in
udev rules) we would add stub unit default.target and we order it Before
test.service. At the same time we add implicit Before to
multi-user.target. Later we merge two units and we create ordering cycle
in the process.
To fix the issue we will now never add any target dependencies until we
loaded all the unit files and resolved all the aliases.
If a device exposes more than 16 mouse buttons, we run into the BTN_JOYSTICK
range, also labelling it as joystick. And since 774ff9b this results in only
ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK but no ID_INPUT_MOUSE.
Fixes#8460
When we are attempting to create directory somewhere in the bowels of /var/lib
and get an error that it already exists, it can be quite hard to diagnose what
is wrong (especially for a user who is not aware that the directory must have
the specified owner, and permissions not looser than what was requested). Let's
print a warning in most cases. A warning is appropriate, because such state is
usually a sign of borked installation and needs to be resolved by the adminstrator.
$ build/test-fs-util
Path "/tmp/test-readlink_and_make_absolute" already exists and is not a directory, refusing.
(or)
Directory "/tmp/test-readlink_and_make_absolute" already exists, but has mode 0775 that is too permissive (0755 was requested), refusing.
(or)
Directory "/tmp/test-readlink_and_make_absolute" already exists, but is owned by 1001:1000 (1000:1000 was requested), refusing.
Assertion 'mkdir_safe(tempdir, 0755, getuid(), getgid(), MKDIR_WARN_MODE) >= 0' failed at ../src/test/test-fs-util.c:320, function test_readlink_and_make_absolute(). Aborting.
No functional change except for the new log lines.
This is similar to TAKE_PTR() but operates on file descriptors, and thus
assigns -1 to the fd parameter after returning it.
Removes 60 lines from our codebase. Pretty good too I think.
This macro will read a pointer of any type, return it, and set the
pointer to NULL. This is useful as an explicit concept of passing
ownership of a memory area between pointers.
This takes inspiration from Rust:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html#method.take
and was suggested by Alan Jenkins (@sourcejedi).
It drops ~160 lines of code from our codebase, which makes me like it.
Also, I think it clarifies passing of ownership, and thus helps
readability a bit (at least for the initiated who know the new macro)
It's always visible:
$ sudo modprobe sit
$ sudo unshare -n ip l
1: lo: <LOOPBACK> mtu 65536 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
...
2: sit0@NONE: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
...
grep already indicates if it matched anything by return value.
Additional advantage is then that if the test fails, the unexpected
matching lines are visible in the log output.
safe_atou16_full() is like safe_atou16() but also takes a base
parameter. safe_atou16() is then implemented as inline function on top
of it, passing 0 as base. Similar safe_atoux16() is reworked as inline
function too, with 16 as base.
The type is "ssize_t", not "int", let's be accurate about that, as these
types are different on some archs.
Given that we don't actually care about the return value reall, drop
the whole assignment, just check if negative.
Let's use first_word() instead of startswith(), it's more explanatory
and a bit more correct. Also, let's use the return value instead of
adding +9 when looking for the second part of the directive.
.include lines are already deprecated somewhat, and for example
explicitly not mentioned in the documentation for this reason. Let's get
one step further and generatea warning when we encounter them (but still
process them).
Why are they deprecated? Because they are semantically awful — they
complicate stat() based mtime checks for configuration files and they
allow arbitrary loops we currently have zero protection against and
really shouldn't have to have.
Let's make sure we always initialize the return value if we return
non-negative.
Just a matter of coding style: we should always initialize our return
values when we return >= 0, and leave them unclobbered if we return < 0.
The warning is not emitted for absolute paths like /dev/sda or /home, which are
converted to .device and .mount unit names without any fuss.
Most of the time it's unlikely that users use invalid unit names on purpose,
so let's warn them. Warnings are silenced when --quiet is used.
$ build/systemctl show -p Id hello@foo-bar/baz
Invalid unit name "hello@foo-bar/baz" was escaped as "hello@foo-bar-baz" (maybe you should use systemd-escape?)
Id=hello@foo-bar-baz.service
$ build/systemd-run --user --slice foo-bar/baz --unit foo-bar/foo true
Invalid unit name "foo-bar/foo" was escaped as "foo-bar-foo" (maybe you should use systemd-escape?)
Invalid unit name "foo-bar/baz" was escaped as "foo-bar-baz" (maybe you should use systemd-escape?)
Running as unit: foo-bar-foo.service
Fixes#8302.
