cgroup: remove support for NetClass= directive Support for net_cls.class_id through the NetClass= configuration directive has been added in v227 in preparation for a per-unit packet filter mechanism. However, it turns out the kernel people have decided to deprecate the net_cls and net_prio controllers in v2. Tejun provides a comprehensive justification for this in his commit, which has landed during the merge window for kernel v4.5: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=bd1060a1d671 As we're aiming for full support for the v2 cgroup hierarchy, we can no longer support this feature. Userspace tool such as nftables are moving over to setting rules that are specific to the full cgroup path of a task, which obsoletes these controllers anyway. This commit removes support for tweaking details in the net_cls controller, but keeps the NetClass= directive around for legacy compatibility reasons.

localed: validate xkb keymaps Introduce a new optional dependency on libxkbcommon for systemd-localed. Whenever the x11 keymap settings are changed, use libxkbcommon to compile the keymap. If the compilation fails, print a warning so users will get notified. On compilation failure, we still update the keymap settings for now. This patch just introduces the xkbcommon infrastructure to have keymap validation in place. We can later decide if/how we want to enforce this.

systemd-journal-flush.service: remove "trigger" from description This service is now synchronous, so "trigger" is misleading.

man: explain journalctl --flush correctly

Use log "level" instead of "priority" The term "priority" is misleading because higher levels have lower priority. "Level" is clearer and shorter. This commit touches only the textual descriptions, not function and variable names themselves. "Priority" is used in various command-line switches and protocol constants, so completly getting rid of "priority" is hard. I also left "priority" in various places where the clarity suffered when it was removed.

core: remove system start timeout logic again The system start timeout as previously implemented would get confused by long-running services that are included in the initial system startup transaction for example by being cron-job-like long-running services triggered immediately at boot. Such long-running jobs would be subject to the default 15min timeout, esily triggering it. Hence, remove this again. In a subsequent commit, introduce per-target job timeouts instead, that allow us to control these timeouts more finegrained.

sysctl.d: default to fq_codel, fight bufferbloat Quoting from Jon Corbet's report of Stephen Hemminger's talk at Linux Plumbers Conference 2014 (https://lwn.net/Articles/616241/): [...] So Stephen encouraged everybody to run a command like: sysctl -w net.core.default_qdisc=fq_codel That will cause fq_codel to be used for all future connections [Qdiscs apply to interfaces, not connections. Pointed out by TomH in the article comments. -- mschmidt] (up to the next reboot). Unfortunately, the default queuing discipline cannot be changed, since it will certainly disturb some user's workload somewhere. Let's have the recommended default in systemd.

rules sort order: /lib, /run, /etc After long consideration we came to the conclusion that user configuration in /etc should always override the (generally computer generated) configuration in /run. User configuration should always be what matters over anything else. Hence rearrange the search orders accordingly. In general this should change very little as overriding like this is seldomn done so far, and the order between /etc and /usr stays the same.

update TODO, NEWS

simplify "symlink name stack" With well defined and kernel-supplied node names, we no longer need to support a possible stack of conflicting symlinks and node names. Only symlinks with identical names can be claimed by multiple devices. This shrinks the former /dev/.udev/names/ significantly. Also the /dev/{block,char}/MAJ:MIN" links are excluded from the name stack - they are unique and can not conflict.

udevadm: remove symlink support for old commands

change database file names With very deeply nested devices, We can not use a single file name to carry an entire DEVPATH. Use <subsystem>:<sysname> as the database filename, which should also simplify the handling of devices moving around, as these values will not change but still be unique. For the name stack we use the <maj>:<min> now as the filename. > On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 09:59:56AM -0400, Ric Wheeler wrote: > The first is that udev grumbles during boot about "file name too long" > like the following: > > Aug 17 06:49:58 megadeth udevd-event[20447]: unable to create db file > '/dev/.udev/db/\x2fdevices\x2fpci0000:00\x2f0000:00:04.0\x2f0000:17:00.0\x2f0000:18:0a.0\x2f0000:1f:00.0\x2fhost11\x2fport-11:0\x2fexpander-11:0\x2fport-11:0:0\x2fexpander-11:1\x2fport-11:1:0\x2fexpander-11:2\x2fport-11:2:17\x2fexpander-11:3\x2fport-11:3:1\x2fend_device-11:3:1\x2fbsg\x2fend_device-11:3:1': > File name too long

"record_failed" -> "fail_event_on_error"

re-enable failed event tracking It did not work for the last couple of releases. If RUN{record_failed}+="..." is given, a non-zero execution will mark the event as failed. Recorded failed events can be re-triggered with: udevadm trigger --type=failed The failed tracking _might_ be useful for things which might not be ready to be executed at early bootup, but a bit later when the needed dependencies are available. In many cases though, it indicates that something is used in a way it should not.

Expose delayed name resolution udevd had the ability to delay name resolution until the event, but this was never exposed. Add a --resolve-names=late option to do so.

Allow user and group lookup to be disabled. In certain cut-down situations such as an installer or inside the initramfs, we simply don't have any kind of name service. While we could use rules without OWNER or GROUP, it's better to have the same rules as a full system and have udevd ignore those parts of the rules.
