The commit 4938696301 overlooked the
fact that unit files can be specified as unit file paths, not unit
file names, wrongly passing a unit file path to the 1st argument of
manager_load_unit() that handles it as a unit file name. As a result,
the following 4 systemctl subcommands:
enable
disable
reenable
link
mask
unmask
fail with the following error message:
# systemctl enable /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdump.service
Failed to execute operation: Unit name /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdump.service is not valid.
# systemctl disable /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdump.service
Failed to execute operation: Unit name /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdump.service is not valid.
# systemctl reenable /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdump.service
Failed to execute operation: Unit name /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdump.service is not valid.
# cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdump.service /tmp/
# systemctl link /tmp/kdump.service
Failed to execute operation: Unit name /tmp/kdump.service is not valid.
# systemctl mask /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdump.service
Failed to execute operation: Unit name /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdump.service is not valid.
# systemctl unmask /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdump.service
Failed to execute operation: Unit name /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdump.service is not valid.
To fix the issue, first check whether a unit file is passed as a unit
file name or a unit file path, and then pass the unit file to the
appropreate argument of manager_load_unit().
By the way, even with this commit mask and unmask reject unit file
paths as follows and this is a correct behavior:
# systemctl mask /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdump.service
Failed to execute operation: Invalid argument
# systemctl unmask /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdump.service
Failed to execute operation: Invalid argument
