Let's optimize things a bit, and instead of having to strip whitespace
first before decoding base64, let's do that implicitly while doing so.
Given that base64 was designed the way it was designed specifically to
be tolerant to whitespace changes, it's a good idea to do this
automatically and implicitly.
To allow better integration with distributions requiring an explicitly
set gid for the `users` group, provide the new `-Dusers-gid` option to
set to a new numeric value.
In the absence of a specified gid, we'll fallback to the default existing
behaviour of `-` as the gid value, to automatically assign the next available
gid on the system.
If we'd use the system header's version of MAX_HANDLE_SZ then our code
would break on older kernels as soon as the value is increased, as old
kernels refuse larger buffers with EINVAL.
This usually happens for device units with long
path in /sys. But users can't even create such drop-ins,
so lets just ignore the error here.
Fixes#6867
This fixes various typos, removes some duplications, and adds a bit more
detail in the few places which are potential pitfalls for users.
Also change the way the paragraphs about new options begin, because having
a paragraph saying "Two new options have been added", and then bit lower
again "Two new options have been added" is confusing.
Apparently, the kernel returns EINVAL on NFS4 sometimes, even if we do
everything right, let's fallback in that case and find a different
approach to determine if something's a mount point.

Let's not use local process data for remote processes, that can only
show nonsense.
Maybe one day we should add a bus API to query the comm field of a
process remotely, but for now, let's not bother, the information is
redundant anyway, as the cgroup data shows it too (and the cgroup tree
is show as part of status as well, and is requested from remote through
dbus, without local kernel calls).
Fixes: #7516
Now the function returns an empty string when given an empty string.
Not sure if this is the best option (maybe this should be an error?),
but at least the behaviour is well defined.
We let the caller make the decision. Existing callers are OK with treating an
ambiguous result the same as no content, but makefs and growfs should refuse such
partitions.
I opted to completely generate a unit for both mount points and swaps. For
swaps, it would be possible to use fixed template unit like systemd-mkswap@.service,
because there's no information passed except the device name. For mount points,
that's not possible because both the device name and file system type need to
be passed. Nevertheless, I expect that options will need to passed to both mkfs
and mkswap, in which case it'll be necessary to create units of both types
anyway.
Also do not include libcryptsetup.h directly, but only through crypt-util.h.
This way we do not have to repeat the define in every file where it is used.
The kernel will reply with -ENOTDIR when we try to access a non-directory under
a name which ends with a slash. But our functions would strip the trailing slash
under various circumstances. Keep the trailing slash, so that
path_is_mount_point("/path/to/file/") return -ENOTDIR when /path/to/file/ is a file.
Tests are added for this change in behaviour.
Also, when called with a trailing slash, path_is_mount_point() would get
"" from basename(), and call name_to_handle_at(3, "", ...), and always
return -ENOENT. Now it'll return -ENOTDIR if the mount point is a file, and
true if it is a directory and a mount point.
v2:
- use strip_trailing_chars()
v3:
- instead of stripping trailing chars(), do the opposite — preserve them.
RequiredForOnline= denotes a link/network that does/does not require being up
for systemd-networkd-wait-online to consider the system online; this makes it
possible to ignore devices without modifying parameters to wait-online.
