https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1035#section-2.3.1 says (approximately)
that only letters, numbers, and non-leading non-trailing dashes are allowed
(for entries with A/AAAA records). We set no restrictions.
hosts(5) says:
> Host names may contain only alphanumeric characters, minus signs ("-"), and
> periods ("."). They must begin with an alphabetic character and end with an
> alphanumeric character.
nss-files follows those rules, and will ignore names in /etc/hosts that do not
follow this rule.
Let's follow the documented rules for /etc/hosts. In particular, this makes us
consitent with nss-files, reducing surprises for the user.
I'm pretty sure we should apply stricter filtering to names received over DNS
and LLMNR and MDNS, but it's a bigger project, because the rules differ
depepending on which level the label appears (rules for top-level names are
stricter), and this patch takes the minimalistic approach and only changes
behaviour for /etc/hosts.
Escape syntax is also disallowed in /etc/hosts, even if the resulting character
would be allowed. Other tools that parse /etc/hosts do not support this, and
there is no need to use it because no allowed characters benefit from escaping.
Do not treat various errors (missing hostname, invalid address) as fatal,
just warn and continue. /etc/hosts is written by humans and we should not
reject the whole file just because a singly entry is not to our liking.
Handle comments as described in hosts(5):
everything from the comment character until the end of the line should be
ignored.
Fixes#10779.
Add tests.
When using networkd we currently have no way of ensuring that static
neighbor entries are set when our link comes up. This change adds a new
section to the network definition that allows multiple static neighbors
to be set on a link.
This allows us to convey that we are performing multiple link
configuration changes in parallel. This is needed to support configuring
neighbors while simultaneously configuring addresses and routes.
This will be useful to assert that our static route configuration always
happens after address configuration once our individual configure state
goes away.
Turns out some tests like `test-execute` are tightly coupled with
systemd as PID1 (which should be fixed of course). In the meantime,
let's see how it goes.
Patches are shown on github with a fixed width (no matter how wide the window
is). When line numbers are high (we have some files with 5 digit line numbers),
the diff does not fit, and horizontal scrolling must be used when viewing the
patch. This is super annoying. Let's reduce the width a bit. I think 109 is
still very wide, but at least the github issue should be alleviated.
Much like for the mount units we need fields such as the slice
initialized by the time we activate the swap, hence when the kernel
let's us know about a new swap that appeared we need to initialize the
slice in any Swap object we allocated for that right-away, even if we
can't read the real unit file for the swap device.
For services (and other units) we generally follow the rule that at the
beginning of each cycle, i.e. when the INACTIVE/FAILED state is left for
ACTIVATING/ACTIVE we flush out various state variables. Mount units
handled this differently so far when the unit state change was effected
outside of systemd: in that case these variables would be flushed out
when going back to INACTIVE/FAILED already.
Let's fix that, and flush out this state always during the activating
transition, not during the deactivating transition.
We never know what the changes triggered by mount_set_state() do to the
unit. Let's be safe and copy the device path into our set, so that we
are safe against that.
