On arm, we'd fail with:
target@v:5.16.8-200.fc35.armv7hl+lpae.socket: not a valid unit name "target@v:5.16.8-200.fc35.armv7hl+lpae.socket": Invalid argument
Some filesystems (e.g. zfs with compression!=off, which is the default
configuration) automatically hole-punch all-zero blocks ‒ write a block
full of ones instead
It seems that --invert-grep used to affect --author, but now it doesn't (with
git-2.35.1-1.fc36.x86_64), so effectively we would only show the one entry that
was supposed to be filtered out.
The handling of whitespace in pyparsing is a bother. There's some
global state, and per-element state, and it's hard to get a handle on
things. With python3-pyparsing-2.4.7-10.fc36.noarch the grammar would
not match. After handling of tabs was fixed to not accept duplicate tabs,
the grammar passes.
It seems that the entry for usb:v8087p8087*
was generated incorrectly because we treated the interface line
(with two TABs) as a device line (with one TAB).
As suggested in

The define is generalized and moved to path-lookup.h, where it seems to fit
better. This allows a recursive include to be removed and in general makes
things simpler.
Inspired by 7910ec3bcd.
'! true' passes, because it's a conditional expression.
But '( ! true )' fails, because '( … )' creates a subshell, i.e. a separate
program, and '! true' becomes the return value of that program, and the whole
thing apparently is not a conditional expression for the outer shell.
This is shorter, so let's just do this.
We would only accept "identical" links, but having e.g. a symlink
/usr/lib/systemd/system/foo-alias.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/foo.service
when we're trying to create /usr/lib/systemd/system/foo-alias.service →
./foo.service is OK. This fixes an issue found in ubuntuautopkg package
installation, where we'd fail when enabling systemd-resolved.service, because
the existing alias was absolute, and (with the recent patches) we were trying
to create a relative one.
A test is added.
(For .wants/.requires symlinks we were already doing OK. A test is also
added, to verify.)
When we have a symlink that goes outside of our search path, we should just
ignore the target file name. But we were verifying it, and rejecting in
the case where a symlink was created manually.
The two states are distinguished, but are treated everywhere identically,
so there is no difference in behaviour except for slighlty different log
output.
We'd say that file is enabled indirectly if we had a symlink like:
foo@.service ← bar.target.wants/foo@one.service
but not when we had
foo@one.service ← bar.target.wants/foo@one.service
The effect of both link types is the same. In fact we don't care
about the symlink target. (We'll warn if it is mismatched, but we honour
it anyway.)
So let's use the original match logic only for aliases.
For .wants/.requires we instead look for a matching source name,
or a source name that matches after stripping of instance.
This is a fairly noticable change, but I think it needs to be done.
So far we'd create an absolute symlink to the target unit file:
.wants/foo.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/foo.service
or
alias.service → /etc/systemd/system/aliased.service.
This works reasonably well, except in one case: where the unit file
is linked. When we look at a file link, the name of the physical file
isn't used, and we only take the account the symlink source name.
(In fact, the destination filename may not even be a well-formed unit name,
so we couldn't use it, even if we wanted to.) But this means that if
a file is linked, and specifies aliases, we'd create absolute links for
those aliases, and systemd would consider each "alias" to be a separate
unit. This isn't checked by the tests here, because we don't have a running
systemd instance, but it is easy enough to check manually.
The most reasonable way to fix this is to create relative links to the
unit file:
.wants/foo.service → ../foo.service
alias.service → aliased.service.
I opted to use no prefix for aliases, both normal and 'default.target',
and to add "../" for .wants/ and .requires/. Note that the link that is
created doesn't necessarily point to the file. E.g. if we're enabling
a file under /usr/lib/systemd/system, and create a symlink in /etc/systemd/system,
it'll still be "../foo.service", not "../../usr/lib/systemd/system/foo.service".
For our unit loading logic this doesn't matter, and figuring out a path
that actually leads somewhere would be more work. Since the user is allowed
to move the unit file, or add a new unit file in a different location, and
we don't actually follow the symlink, I think it's OK to create a dangling
symlink. The prefix of "../" is useful to give a hint that the link points
to files that are conceptually "one level up" in the directory hierarchy.
With the relative symlinks, systemd knows that those are aliases.
The tests are adjusted to use the new forms. There were a few tests that
weren't really testing something useful: 'test -e x' fails if 'x' is a
a dangling symlink. Absolute links in the chroot would be dangling, even
though the target existed in the expected path, but become non-dangling
when made relative and the test fails.
This should be described in NEWS, but I'm not adding that here, because
it'd likely result in conflicts.
We use the symlink source name and destination names to decide whether to remove
the symlink. But if the source name is enough to decide to remove the symlink,
we'd still look up the destination for no good reason. This is a slow operation,
let's skip it.
I linked a file as root, so I had a symlink /root/test.service ← /etc/systemd/system/test.service.
To my surpise, when running test-systemctl-enable, it failed with a cryptic EACCES.
The previous commit made the logs a bit better. Strace shows that we
were trying to follow the symlink without taking --root into account.
It seems that this bug was introduced in 66a19d85a5:
before it, we'd do readlink_malloc(), which returned a path relative to root. But
we only used that path for checking if the path is in remove_symlinks_to set, which
contains relative paths. So if the path was relative, we'd get a false-negative
answer, but we didn't go outside of the root. (We need to canonicalize the symlink
to get a consistent answer.) But after 66a19 we use chase_symlinks(), without taking
root into account which is completely bogus.
When chase_symlinks() fails, we'd get the generic error:
Failed to disable: Permission denied.
Let's at least add the failure to changes list, so the user gets
a slightly better message. Ideally, we'd say where exactly the permission
failure occured, but chase_symlinks() is a library level function and I don't
think we should add logging there. The output looks like this now:
Failed to resolve symlink "/tmp/systemctl-test.1r7Roj/etc/systemd/system/link5alias2.service": Permission denied
Failed to resolve symlink "/tmp/systemctl-test.1r7Roj/etc/systemd/system/link5alias.service": Permission denied
Failed to disable unit, file /tmp/systemctl-test.1r7Roj/etc/systemd/system/link5alias2.service: Permission denied.
Failed to disable unit, file /tmp/systemctl-test.1r7Roj/etc/systemd/system/link5alias.service: Permission denied.
I was considering deduplicating the list of target units in
WantedBy/RequiredBy. But to do this meaningfully, we'd need to do alias
expansion first, i.e. after the initial parsing is done. This seems to be
more trouble than it would be worth.
Instead, I added tests that we're doing the right thing and creating symlinks
as expected. For duplicate links, we create the link, and on the second time we
see that the link is already there, so the output is correct.
We'd create aliases and other symlinks first, and only then try to create
the main link. Since that can fail, let's do things in opposite order, and
abort immediately if we can't link the file itself.
We don't need to talk about Alias=. The approach of using Alias= to enable
units is still supported, but hasn't been advertised as the way to do thing
for many years. Using it as an explanation is just confusing.
Also, the description of templated units did not take DefaultInstance=
into account. It is updated and extended.
