While @poettering wants to keep mount units for credential
mounts, this has brought nothing but pain in real life.
By generating mount units for each cred mount, we had trouble
with default dependencies on them, which causes their stop jobs
to race with unmounting through exec_context_destroy_credentials().
There were several attempts to workaround the problem, but
none seems very graceful: #26959, #28787, #28957, #31360, #32011.
Also, we want to carry over credentials for services that
survive soft-reboot to the new mount tree, and during the practice
the stop of mount units are irritating.
The mentioned problems are ultimately resolved by disabling
default deps: #32799. But after doing that, maybe the next question
should be "why do we generate these mount units at all?"
Let's revisit the whole concept here. First of all, the credential
dirs are supposed to be opaque to users, and hence nobody should
really reference to these mounts directly. Secondly, the lifetime
of credentials is strictly bound to the service units, but nothing
else. Moreover, as more and more users of credentials pop up,
we could end up with hundreds of such mount units, which is
something we handle poorly. And we emit useless UnitRemoved signals,
etc...
As discussed, it seems that eliminating these mount units
is the correct way to go. No real use cases are impacted,
and the lifetime management becomes sane again.
Replaces #32011
Allow systemd units to require/bind to MTD devices. One use case is for
using a systemd service to attach an MTD device to an UBI controller,
which cannot be done until the MTD device has been probed.
Fixes#33096
Multipath TCP (MPTCP), standardized in RFC8684 [1], is a TCP extension
that enables a TCP connection to use different paths. It allows a device
to make use of multiple interfaces at once to send and receive TCP
packets over a single MPTCP connection. MPTCP can aggregate the
bandwidth of multiple interfaces or prefer the one with the lowest
latency, it also allows a fail-over if one path is down, and the traffic
is seamlessly re-injected on other paths.
To benefit from MPTCP, both the client and the server have to support
it. Multipath TCP is a backward-compatible TCP extension that is enabled
by default on recent Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat, ...).
Multipath TCP is included in the Linux kernel since version 5.6 [2]. To
use it on Linux, an application must explicitly enable it when creating
the socket:
int sd = socket(AF_INET(6), SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_MPTCP);
No need to change anything else in the application.
This patch allows MPTCP protocol in the Socket unit configuration. So
now, a <unit>.socket can contain this to use MPTCP instead of TCP:
[Socket]
SocketProtocol=mptcp
MPTCP support has been allowed similarly to what has been already done
to allow SCTP: just one line in core/socket.c, a very simple addition
thanks to the flexible architecture already in place.
On top of that, IPPROTO_MPTCP has also been added in the list of allowed
protocols in two other places, and in the doc. It has also been added to
the missing_network.h file, for systems with an old libc -- note that it
was also required to include <netinet/in.h> in this file to avoid
redefinition errors.

Set the $REMOTE_ADDR environment variable for AF_UNIX socket connections
when using per-connection socket activation (Accept=yes). $REMOTE_ADDR
will now contain the remote socket's file system path (starting with a
slash "/") or its address in the abstract namespace (starting with an
at symbol "@").
This information is essential for identifying the remote peer in AF_UNIX
socket connections, but it's not easy to obtain in a shell script for
example without pulling in a ton of additional tools. By setting
$REMOTE_ADDR, we make this information readily available to the
activated service.
I do not think this is necessary, but all other places in
libsystemd-network we clear buffer before receive. Without this,
Coverity warns about use-of-uninitialized-values.
Let's silence Coverity.
Closes CID#1469721.
Let's follow the conventions set by "Registry of Reserved TPM 2.0 Handles
and Localities" and only allocate nvindex currently not assigned to any

Section 2.2
Since we document /usr/local/lib/systemd/ and other paths for various things,
add notes that this is not supported if /usr/local is a separate partition. In
systemd.unit, I tried to add the footnote in the table where
/usr/local/lib/systemd/ is listed, but that get's rendered as '[sup]a[/sup]'
with a mangled footnote at the bottom of the table :( .
Also, split paragraphs in one place where the subject changes without any
transition.

From the logs in the bug:
Jun 10 22:55:37 systemd-logind[909]: The system will suspend now!
Jun 10 22:55:37 ModemManager[996]: <msg> [sleep-monitor-systemd] system is about to suspend
...
Jun 10 22:55:48 systemd-sleep[422408]: Failed to freeze unit 'user.slice': Connection timed out
Jun 10 22:55:48 systemd-sleep[422408]: Performing sleep operation 'suspend'...
The delay is ~11 s, consistent with the patch that set the timeout to 10 s.
Looks like this is not enough. It's the freeze operation that fails, but
thawing might be slow too, so just bump the timeout again.
Currently the check also succeeds if the input path starts with a dot, whereas
we only want it to succeed for "." and "./". Tighten the check and add a test.
Enabling this service by default means every CI image without a
regular user now gets stuck on first boot due to the password prompt
from systemd-homed-firstboot.service. Let's not enable the service
by default but instead require users to enable it explicitly if they
want its behavior.
Fixes#33249
systemd-nspawn sets up /dev/console as a symlink to a pty, so let's
make sure we follow the symlink when trying to lock /dev/console so
we don't fail with ELOOP.
Follow-up for 28459ba1f4
The pty path returned by OpenMachinePTY() cannot be opened from outside
the machine, hence let's use the plain Standard{Input,Output,Error}=tty
in such a case. This means if --machine= is specified, #32916 would occur.
A comprehensive fix requires a new dbus method in machined, which shall
be material for v257.

This reverts commit 0f5a529217.
As discussed in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/33104,
that patch caused problems in Debian which has a udev drop-in with
[Match]
Path=*-usb-*
[Link]
NamePolicy=mac
The rename fails:
eth0: Policy *mac* yields "enx00*".
eth0: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules:11 NAME 'enx00*'
eth0: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/99-systemd.rules:69 RUN '/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl --prefix=/net/ipv4/conf/$name --prefix=/net/ipv4/neigh/$
eth0: sd-device: Created database file '/run/udev/data/n9' for '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:02:00.0/0000:03:01.0/0000:05:00.0/0000:
eth0: Failed to rename network interface 9 from 'eth0' to 'enx00*': File exists
eth0: sd-device: Created database file '/run/udev/data/n9' for '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:02:00.0/0000:03:01.0/0000:05:00.0/0000:
eth0: Failed to process device, ignoring: File exists
Two network interfaces have the same MAC and it's not marked NET_ADDR_STOLEN.
In this case the conflict is very visible because it causes the rename to fail,
but it would also occur in other cases, for alternative names.
A patch has been submitted for r8152 to properly set NET_ADDR_STOLEN:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/20240605153340.25694-1-gmazyland@gmail.com/T/#u
Let's revert this now to avoid a regression. We can try again after the kernel
issue is resolved.
Closes https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/33104.
