Let's be more accurate about what this function does: it checks whether
the underlying reported inode is the same. Internally, this already uses
a better named stat_inode_same() call, hence let's similarly name the
wrapping function following the same logic.
Similar for files_same_at() and path_equal_or_same_files().
No code changes, just some renaming.
The function path_prefix_root_cwd() was introduced for prefixing the
result from chaseat() with root, but
- it is named slightly generic,
- the logic is different from what chase() does.
This makes the name more explanative and specific for the result of the
chaseat(), and make the logic consistent with chase().
Fixes https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/27199#issuecomment-1511387731.
Follow-up for #27199.
When path_find_first_component() returns the last component, the iterator
must be an empty string. The fact is heavily used in chaseat(). Let's
explicitly test it.
Let's port one more over.
Note that this changes behaviour of file_in_same_dir() in some regards.
Specifically, a trailing slash of the input path will be treated
differently: previously we'd operate below that dir then, instead of the
parent. I think that makes little sense however, and I think the code
using this function doesn't expect that either.
Moroever, addresses some corner cases if the path is specified as "/" or
".", i.e. where e cannot extract a parent. These will now be treated as
error, which I think is much cleaner.
-1 was used everywhere, but -EBADF or -EBADFD started being used in various
places. Let's make things consistent in the new style.
Note that there are two candidates:
EBADF 9 Bad file descriptor
EBADFD 77 File descriptor in bad state
Since we're initializating the fd, we're just assigning a value that means
"no fd yet", so it's just a bad file descriptor, and the first errno fits
better. If instead we had a valid file descriptor that became invalid because
of some operation or state change, the other errno would fit better.
In some places, initialization is dropped if unnecessary.
This is useful for systems which don't have any fsck.
We already skip emitting the fsck dependency when the fsck.$fstype helper
is missing, but fstab-generator doesn't necessarily know the fstype when
handling the root= parameter.
Previously, systemd-fsck was started for these mounts and then exited
immediately because it couldn't find the fsck.$fstype helper.
This function implements a heuristic that is only used by nspawn. It doesn't
belong in basic. I opted for a new file "nspawn-utils.c", because it seems
likely that we'll need some other new utilities like that in the future.
No functional change.
This converts to TEST macro where it is trivial.
Some additional notable changes:
- simplify HAVE_LIBIDN #ifdef in test-dns-domain.c
- use saved_argc/saved_argv in test-copy.c, test-path-util.c,
test-tmpfiles.c and test-unit-file.c
Let's define two helpers strdupa_safe() + strndupa_safe() which do the
same as their non-safe counterparts, except that they abort if called
with allocations larger than ALLOCA_MAX.
This should ensure that all our alloca() based allocations are subject
to this limit.
afaics glibc offers three alloca() based APIs: alloca() itself,
strndupa() + strdupa(). With this we have now replacements for all of
them, that take the limit into account.
Currently there does not exist a way to specify a path relative to which
all binaries executed by Exec should be found. The only way is to
specify the absolute path.
This change implements the functionality to specify a path relative to which
binaries executed by Exec*= can be found.
Closes#6308
When the root parameter in find_executable_full is set, chase_symlinks prefixes this root
to every check of the path name to find the complete path of the execuatble in case the
path provided is not absolute. This is only done for the non NULL root because otherwise
the chase_symlinks function would alter the behavior of some of the callers which would
in turn alter the outputs in a way that is undesirable. The find_execuatble_full function is
invoked by the verify_executable function in analyze-verify.
In general we almost never hit those asserts in production code, so users see
them very rarely, if ever. But either way, we just need something that users
can pass to the developers.
We have quite a few of those asserts, and some have fairly nice messages, but
many are like "WTF?" or "???" or "unexpected something". The error that is
printed includes the file location, and function name. In almost all functions
there's at most one assert, so the function name alone is enough to identify
the failure for a developer. So we don't get much extra from the message, and
we might just as well drop them.
Dropping them makes our code a tiny bit smaller, and most importantly, improves
development experience by making it easy to insert such an assert in the code
without thinking how to phrase the argument.
This makes the functions handle "xx/" and "xx/." as equivalent.
Moreover, now path_extract_directory() returns normalized path, that is
no redundant "/" or "/./" are contained.
This also makes path_compare() may return arbitrary integer as it now
simply pass the result of strcmp() or memcmp().
This changes the behavior of path_extract_filename/directory() when
e.g. "/." or "/./" are input. But the change should be desired.
Let's fine-tune the path_extract_filename() interface: on succes return
O_DIRECTORY as indicator that the input path was slash-suffixed, and
regular 0 otherwise. This is useful since in many cases it is useful to
filter out paths that must refer to dirs early on.
I opted for O_DIRECTORY instead of the following other ideas:
1. return -EISDIR: I think the function should return an extracted
filename even when referring to an obvious dir, so this is not an
option.
2. S_ISDIR, this was a strong contender, but I think O_DIRECTORY is a
tiny bit nicer since quite likely we will go on and open the thing,
maybe with openat(), and hence it's quite nice to be able to OR in
the return value into the flags argument of openat().
3. A new enum defined with two values "dont-know" and
"definitely-directory". But I figured this was unnecessary, given we
have other options too, that reuse existing definitions for very
similar purposes.
These two together are a lot like dirname() + basename() but have the
benefit that they return clear errors when one passes a special case
path to them where the extraction doesn't make sense, i.e. "", "/",
"foo", "foo/" and so on.
Sooner or later we should probably port all our uses of
dirname()/basename() over to this, to catch these special cases more
safely.
Let's tighten the logic behind path_extract_filename() a bit: first of
all, refuse all cases of invalid paths with -EINVAL. More importantly
though return a recognizable error when a valid path is specified that
does not contain any filename. Specifically, "/" will now result in
-EADDRNOTAVAIL.
This changes API, but none of the existing callers care about the return
value, hence the change should be fine.
So the currentl and only fd_is_mount_point() check is actually entirely
bogus: it passes "/" as filename argument, but that's not actually a
a valid filename, but an absolute path.
fd_is_mount_point() is written in a way tha the fd refers to a directory
and the specified path is a file directly below it that shall be
checked. The test call actually violated that rule, but still expected
success.
Let's fix this, and check for this explicitly, and refuse it.
Let's extend the test and move it to test-mountpoint-util.c where the
rest of the tests for related calls are placed.

... when called with a valid environment variable name. This means that
any time we call it with a fixed string, it is guaranteed to return 0.
(Also when the variable is not present in the environment block.)
This partially reverts db11487d10 (the logic to
calculate the correct value is removed, we always use the same setting as for
the system manager). Distributions have an easy mechanism to override this if
they wish.
I think making this configurable is better, because different distros clearly
want different defaults here, and making this configurable is nice and clean.
If we don't make it configurable, distros which either have to carry patches,
or what would be worse, rely on some other configuration mechanism, like
/etc/profile. Those other solutions do not apply everywhere (they usually
require the shell to be used at some point), so it is better if we provide
a nice way to override the default.
Fixes #13469.
