2016-08-18logind: update empty and "infinity" handling for [User]TasksMax (#3835)Tejun Heo
The parsing functions for [User]TasksMax were inconsistent. Empty string and "infinity" were interpreted as no limit for TasksMax but not accepted for UserTasksMax. Update them so that they're consistent with other knobs. * Empty string indicates the default value. * "infinity" indicates no limit. While at it, replace opencoded (uint64_t) -1 with CGROUP_LIMIT_MAX in TasksMax handling. v2: Update empty string to indicate the default value as suggested by Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek. v3: Fixed empty UserTasksMax handling.

2016-07-22logind: change TasksMax= value for user logins to 33%Lennart Poettering
Let's change from a fixed value of 12288 tasks per user to a relative value of 33%, which with the kernel's default of 32768 translates to 10813. This is a slight decrease of the limit, for no other reason than "33%" sounding like a nice round number that is close enough to 12288 (which would translate to 37.5%). (Well, it also has the nice effect of still leaving a bit of room in the PID space if there are 3 cooperating evil users that try to consume all PIDs... Also, I like my bikesheds blue). Since the new value is taken relative, and machined's TasksMax= setting defaults to 16384, 33% inside of containers is usually equivalent to 5406, which should still be ample space. To summarize: | on the host | in the container old default | 12288 | 12288 new default | 10813 | 5406
2016-05-05logind: enforce a limit on inhibitors we hand outLennart Poettering
For similar reasons as the recent addition of a limit on sessions. Note that we don't enforce a limit on inhibitors per-user currently, but there's an implicit one, since each inhibitor takes up one fd, and fds are limited via RLIMIT_NOFILE, and the limit on the number of processes per user.
2016-05-05logind: enforce a limit on current user sessionsLennart Poettering
We really should put limits on all resources we manage, hence add one to the number of concurrent sessions, too. This was previously unbounded, hence set a relatively high limit of 8K by default. Note that most PAM setups will actually invoke pam_systemd prefixed with "-", so that the return code of pam_systemd is ignored, and the login attempt succeeds anyway. On systems like this the session will be created but is not tracked by systemd.

2016-04-21logind: make KillOnlyUsers override KillUserProcessesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Instead of KillOnlyUsers being a filter for KillUserProcesses, it can now be used to specify users to kill, independently of the KillUserProcesses setting. Having the settings orthogonal seems to make more sense. It also makes KillOnlyUsers symmetrical to KillExcludeUsers.
2016-04-21logind: flip KillUserProcesses to on by defaultZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
This ensures that users sessions are properly cleaned up after. The admin can still enable or disable linger for specific users to allow them to run processes after they log out. Doing that through the user session is much cleaner and provides better control. dbus daemon can now be run in the user session (with --enable-user-session, added in 1.10.2), and most distributions opted to pick this configuration. In the normal case it makes a lot of sense to kill remaining processes. The exception is stuff like screen and tmux. But it's easy enough to work around, a simple example was added to the man page in previous commit. In the long run those services should integrate with the systemd users session on their own. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94508 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2900
2016-04-21man: expand description of lingering and KillUserProcesses settingZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
The description in the man page was wrong, KillUserProcesses does not kill all processes of the user. Describe what the setting does, and also add links between the relavant sections of the manual. Also, add an extensive example which shows how to launch screen in the background.

2015-11-13logind: add a new UserTasksMax= setting to logind.confLennart Poettering
This new setting configures the TasksMax= field for the slice objects we create for each user. This alters logind to create the slice unit as transient unit explicitly instead of relying on implicit generation of slice units by simply starting them. This also enables us to set a friendly description for slice units that way.

2015-06-18man: revert dynamic paths for split-usr setupsTom Gundersen
This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release. * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we could ship this. * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before we could ship with this patch. * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should probably question if it makes sense at all.
2015-05-28man: generate configured paths in manpagesFilipe Brandenburger
In particular, use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd in distributions like Debian which still have not adopted a /usr merge setup. Use XML entities from man/custom-entities.ent to replace configured paths while doing XSLT processing of the original XML files. There was precedent of some files (such as systemd.generator.xml) which were already using this approach. This addresses most of the (manual) fixes from this patch: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/patches/Fix-paths-in-man-pages.patch?h=experimental-220 The idea of using generic XML entities was presented here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032240.html This patch solves almost all the issues, with the exception of: - Path to /bin/mount and /bin/umount. - Generic statements about preference of /lib over /etc. These will be handled separately by follow up patches. Tested: - With default configure settings, ran "make install" to two separate directories and compared the output to confirm they matched exactly. - Used a set of configure flags including $CONFFLAGS from Debian: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/rules Installed the tree and confirmed the paths use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd and that no other unexpected differences exist. - Confirmed that `make distcheck` still passes.

2015-03-06login: make hold-off timeout configurableDavid Herrmann
This introduces 'HoldoffTimeoutSec' to logind.conf to make IGNORE_LID_SWITCH_{SUSPEND,STARTUP}_USEC configurable. Background: If an external monitor is connected, or if the system is docked, we want to ignore LID events. This is required to support setups where a laptop is used with external peripherals while the LID is closed. However, this requires us to probe all hot-plugged devices before reacting to LID events. But with modern buses like USB, the standards do not impose any timeout on the slots, so we have no chance to know whether a given slot is used or not. Hence, after resume and startup, we have to wait a fixed timeout to give the kernel a chance to probe devices. Our timeout has always been generous enough to support even the slowest devices. However, a lot of people didn't use these features and wanted to disable the hold-off timer. Now we provide a knob to do that.
2015-03-03Do not advertise .d snippets over main config fileZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
For daemons which have a main configuration file, there's little reason for the administrator to use configuration snippets. They are useful for packagers which need to override settings, but we shouldn't advertise that as the main way of configuring those services. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89397

2014-11-26logind: Support logind.conf.d directories in the usual search pathsJosh Triplett
This makes it possible to drop in logind configuration snippets from a package or other configuration management mechanism. Add documentation to the header of /etc/logind.conf pointing the user at /etc/logind.conf.d/*.conf. Introduce a new helper, conf_parse_many, to parse configuration files in a search path.

2014-03-03logind: ignore lid switch if more than 1 display is connectedLennart Poettering
Previously we expected the desktop environment to take an inhibitor lock, but this opened a race on boot-up where logind might already be running but no DE is active. Hence, let's move checking for additional displays into logind. This also opens up this logic for other DEs, given that only GNOME implemented the inhibitor logic so far.

2013-02-06build-sys: create Makefile-man.am automaticallyZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
man rules were repeating the same information in too many places, which was error prone. Those rules can be easily generated from .xml files. For efficiency and because python is not a required dependency, Makefile-man.am is only regenerated when requested with make update-man-list If no metadata in man/*.xml changed, this file should not change. So only when a new man page or a new alias is added, this file should show up in 'git diff'. The change should then be committed. If the support for building from git without python was dropped, we could drop Makefile-man.am from version control. This would also increase the partial build time (since more stuff would be rebuild whenever sources in man/*.xml would be modified), so it would probably wouldn't be worth it.

2012-09-17logind: make sure there's always a getty available on TTY6Lennart Poettering
Previously, if X allocated all 6 TTYs (for multi-session for example) no getty would be available anymore to guarantee console-based logins. With the new ReserveVT= switch in logind.conf we can now choose one VT (6 by default) that will always be subject to autovt-style activation, i.e. we'll always have a getty on TTY6, and X will never take possession of it.
