Recently we have noticed exceedingly long execution times
for multiple invocations of ostree prune. This is a result of
calculating full reachability on each invocation.
The --commit-only flag provides an alternative strategy. It will only
traverse and delete commit objects to avoid the more expensive
reachability calculations. This allows us to chain multiple --commit-only
commands cheaply, and then follow with a more expensive ostree prune
invocation at the end to clean up orphaned meta and content objects.
This patch makes it so that we mark the .commit file from a static delta
as partial before writing the commit to the staging directory. This
exactly mirrors what we do in meta_fetch_on_complete() when writing the
commit on that codepath, which should lend some credibility to the
correctness of this patch.
I have checked that this fixes an issue Flatpak users have been
encountering (https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/3479) which
results in error messages like "error: Failed to install
org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.texlive: Failed to read commit
c7958d966cfa8b80a42877d1d6124831d7807f93c89461a2a586956aa28d438a: No

Here's the sequence of events that lead to the error:
1. An install operation is started that fetches static deltas.
2. The fetch is interrupted for some reason such as network connectivity
dropping.
3. The .commit and .commitmeta files for the commit being pulled are
left in the staging dir, e.g.
"~/.local/share/flatpak/repo/tmp/staging-dfe862b2-13fc-49a2-ac92-5a59cc0d8e18-RURckd"
4. There is no `.commitpartial` file for the commit in
"~/.local/share/flatpak/repo/state/"
5. The next time the user attempts the install, libostree reuses the
existing staging dir, pulls the commit and commitmeta objects into
the repo from the staging dir on the assumption that it's a complete
commit.
6. Flatpak then tries to deploy the commit but fails in
ostree_repo_read_commit() in flatpak_dir_deploy(), leading to the
error message "Failed to read commit ..."
7. This happens again any subsequent time the user attempts the install,
until the incomplete commit is removed with "flatpak repair --user".
I will try to also add a workaround in Flatpak so this is fixed even
when Flatpak links against affected versions of libostree.
I'm working on enhancing the ostree-rs-ext test suite and I hit
a bug where walking a mtree and creating a parent would fail to
load lazy intermediate directories, e.g.:
/ -> usr -> bin
If we walked we'd load `/` but keep `usr` lazy, and then invalidation
would crash because it wasn't loaded.
If we're going to mutate a subdir, we need to have all the parents
loaded.
I know this is missing tests, but...it's a bit tedious to do with
the existing C tests. Eventually soon we'll execute on merging
all 3 repos, and better share test suites.

I think I'm hitting issues due to this while using the Rust bindings:
https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/pull/3406#issuecomment-1033084956
The bindings for those APIs use `from_glib_full` which says:
> Because ownership can only be transferred if something is already
> referenced, this is unsuitable for floating references.
The commit metadata `version` key is well established but getting it for
a remote commit is cumbersome since the commit object needs to be
fetched and loaded. Including it in the summary additional metadata
allows a much more convenient view of what each of the remote refs
represents.
This aligns all the assertion in the module. In particular, it gets
rid of all `g_return_val_if_fail` instances which may fail without
properly setting GError to the caller.
When we clean up from an error, for example copy_file_range() failing
while we generate a static delta (perhaps caused by
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libglnx/-/issues/3 or by a
genuine write error), we might free a variant builder that has a
non-null parent. Previously, this caused infinite recursion and a stack
overflow, repeatedly freeing the same object, but Luca Bruno suggested
that the intention here appears to have been to free the parent object.
Partially resolves https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/issues/2525
(the other bug reported in that issue needs to be resolved by updating
libglnx to a version where libglnx#3 has been fixed).

This tightens up the logic for opening a file while inspecting its
xattrs. The only codepath fetching xattrs from a FD is the one
handling 'bare' mode.
It also rearranges the else-assert flow, mostly for future-proofing.
Support for that file was added previously, but the testing lived in
rpm-ostree only. Let's add it here too.
In the process add a hidden `--lock-finalization` to `ostree admin
deploy` to make testing easier (though it could also be useful to update
managers driving OSTree via the CLI).
Otherwise, any future staged deployment will also automatically be
locked even if not requested. Likely we should fold the locking into the
primary `staged-deployment` serialized GVariant instead.
This reworks `ostree ls` top-level logic so that cancellation
tokens and error details are plumbed through all codepaths.
It also gets rid of all previous goto jumps.
We do implicitly have this data because we log timings via structured
metadata in a later journal entry, but it's quite common to lose
the structured metadata because a lot of tooling just grabs the default
syslog-compatible text from `journalctl`.
Let's be louder when we hit this case as a general rule too; I think
most people shipping ostree systems want to see if it's happening.

Basically there's a systemd bug where it's losing the `_netdev`
aspect of Ceph filesystem mounts. This means the network is taken
down before Ceph is unmounted. In turn, our invocation of `sync()`
blocks on Ceph, which won't succeed.
And this in turn manifests as a failure to transition to the new
deployment.
I initially did this patch to just rip out the global `sync()`. I
am pretty sure we don't need it anymore. We've been doing individual
`syncfs()` on `/sysroot` and `/boot` for a while now, and those
are the only filesystems we should be touching. But *proving* that
is a whole other thing of course.
To be conservative, let's instead just add a timeout of 5s on
our invocation of `sync()`. It doesn't return any information on
success/error anyways.
To allow testing without the `sync()` invocation, we also support
a new `OSTREE_SYSROOT_OPT_SKIP_SYNC=1` environment variable. For
staged deployments, this needs to be injected via e.g. systemd unit
overrides into `ostree-finalize-staged.service`.
Implementing this is a bit hairy - we need to spawn a thread. I
debated blocking in arecursive mainloop, but I think `g_cond_wait_until()`
is also fine here.
In fixing https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/pull/3323
I felt that it was a bit ugly we're installing `/usr/bin/ostree-container`.
It's kind of an implementation detail. We want users to use
`ostree container`.
Let's support values outside of $PATH too.
For example, this also ensures that TAB completion for `ost` expands
to `ostree ` with a space.
This removes a 'g_setenv()' call, which could potentially be unsafe
in a multi-thread context.
The current libselinux codebase does not seem to check for
`LIBSELINUX_DISABLE_PCRE_PRECOMPILED`, so I think this has no effects
nowadays.
Additionally, I could not find any reference to it in libselinux
git history, so I'm not sure if it ever played any role at all.
My current understanding is that this is coming from version
incompatibilities between an older libselinux in the build environment
and a newer policy (with precompiled regexs) in the target.
But from the ML discussion I found, I think it eventually got
solved in a different way, possibly by avoiding the policy binary
caches.

This swaps the order of a couple of input sanity checks, in order
to fix a minor memory leak due to an early-return on the error
path.
Memory for the result is now allocated only after input has been
sanity-checked.
It fixes a static analysis warning highlighted by Coverity.
This adds build-time configuration logic to automatically detect
and switch between libfuse 2.x and 3.x.

Fixes `Argument with 'nonnull' attribute passed null` by making
the code not exist at all anymore.
In upstream libsoup this code is gone too; it uses `GUri` from glib
which we probably could now too, but one thing at a time.
This adds some logic to detect and dispatch unknown subcommands to
extensions available in `$PATH`. Additional commands can be
implemented by adding relevant `ostree-$verb` binaries to the system.
As an example, if a `/usr/bin/ostree-extcommand` extension is provided,
the execution of `ostree extcommand --help` will be dispatched to that
as `ostree-extcommand extcommand --help`.

Basically we changed rpm-ostree to start doing a shared lock during
commit by default, but this broke because pungi is starting a process
doing a commit for each architecture, and then trying to regenerate
the summary after each one.
This patch is deleting a big comment with a rationale for why
summary regeneration should be exclusive. Point by point:
> This makes sure the commits and deltas don't get
> deleted while generating the summary.
But prune operations require an exclusive lock, which means that
data still can't be deleted when the summary grabs a shared lock.
> It also means we can be sure refs
> won't be created/updated/deleted during the operation, without having to
> add exclusive locks to those operations which would prevent concurrent
> commits from working.
First: The status quo *has* prevented concurrent commits from working!
There is no real locking solution to this problem. What we really
need to do here is regenerate the summary after each commit *or*
when the caller decides to do it and e.g. include deltas at the same
time.
It's OK if multiple threads race to regenerate the summary;
last-one-wins behavior here is totally fine.
We should only try to remount `/sysroot` if we're actually handling the
sysroot repo and the repo isn't writable. We already have public APIs to
check each of those, so let's use them.
