Users can currently pick specific versions of NIC naming, but that
does not guarantee that NIC names won't change after the kernel adds
a new sysfs attribute.
This patch allows for an allow/deny list of sysfs attributes
that could be used when composing the name.
These lists can be supplied as an hwdb entry in the form of
/etc/udev/hwdb.d/50-net-naming-allowlist.hwdb
net:naming:drvirtio_net
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW=0
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_ACPI_INDEX=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_ADDR_ASSIGN_TYPE=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_ADDRESS=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_ARI_ENABLED=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_DEV_PORT=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_FUNCTION_ID=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_IFLINK=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_INDEX=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_LABEL=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_PHYS_PORT_NAME=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_TYPE=1
We already refuse the other two cursor-related options (--cursor= and
--after-cursor=) with --since=, so let's do the same with
--cursor-file=.
Closes: #20523
Regardless of whether a vc path is passed, the behavior of
systemd-vconsole-setup wasn't ideal when either the passed vc or /dev/tty1 was
in graphics mode.
When a vc in graphics mode was passed, no message was emitted despite the fact
that the font settings couldn't be applied. The previous code might have
assumed that setfont(8) would throw a warning but that's not case.
When no argument was passed, systemd-vconsole-setup was supposed to
automatically select a valid tty, init it and copy the font setting to the
remaining ttys. However if the selected virtual console was in KD_GRAPHICS mode
the initialization of the font failed not only for the selected source vc but
for all of them.
This patch enables IFNAME_VALID_ALTERNATIVE for checks guarding the
parsing of RestrictNetworkInterfaces=.
The underlying implementation for this option already supports
altnames.
There's a race condition where the EXIT_STATUS= message we send
just before shutting down the VM doesn't arrive on the host,
presumably because the VM is shut down before the kernel has had a
chance to forward the message to the host.
Since there's no obvious way to wait until the message has been
flushed to the host, let's send the message before we execute the
final sync() instead of after executing the final sync(). In my
testing, this seems to either guarantee the message is sent or
introduces sufficient delay that the kernel always has time to flush
its socket buffers to the host.
This extends what systemd-firstboot does and runs on first boots only
and either processes user records passed in via credentials to create,
or asks the user interactively to create one (only if no regular user
exists yet).
So far by setting systemd.firstboot=no simply short-cut the whole tool
and made it exit early. This is against what the docs say though: they
just claim the user isn't asked for questions anymore. Let's change
behaviour so that the code actually matches the docs, or more
specifically: if credentials are passed into firstboot, then honour
them, regardless of the kernel cmdline option.
After all, if we get explicit data passed in we should operate on it,
and then leave systemd.firstboot=no just affect the interactivity.
I think this was actually mostly a bug introduced because the credential
stuff was added after the kernel cmdline option, hence this just catches
up with the new addition.
This is just paranoia. In all these cases we don't really care about the
trailing NUL byte. But if there's space for it dns_label_unescape() is
going to insert it, and that's a good safety strategy.
This is a follow-up to c29c3adefa8cd859f8cb87d9ad62f3d77b7cd102 which
fixed an actual bug, unlike this commit, which is just paranoia.
Then, all nexthops managed by networkd really exist (unless the kernel
silently removes a nexthop).
This is the same for nexthop already done by
3c283289ae and
0a0c2672db (for address), and
5d098f5d36 (for neighbor).
The kernel manages nexthops by their IDs. Previously networkd manages
nexthops in three ways:
- by the corresponding link, if a nexthop has ifindex,
- by the manager, if a nexthop does not have ifindex,
- by the manager with their IDs.
This unifies the three managements of nexthops into one, and use the
same way as the kernel uses.
This is the one for nexthop already done by
aa9626ee3b for neighbor.
If a nexthop is requested without a valid ID, then nexthop_acquire_id()
assigns an unused ID. So, at the time nexthop_configure() is called, the
ID is always valid.
Same as $KERNEL_INSTALL_BYPASS, but for hwdb. This will speed up
cross architecture image builds in mkosi as I can disable package
managers from running the costly hwdb update stuff in qemu user
mode and run it myself with a native systemd-hwdb with --root=.
This is gets the resource limits off a specified process, and is very
similar to prlimit() with a NULL new_rlimit argument. In fact, it tries
that first. However, it then falls back to use /proc/$PID/limits. Why?
Simply because Linux prohibits access to prlimit() for processes with a
different UID, but /proc/$PID/limits still works.
This is preparation to allow nspawn to run unprivileged.
