* log to stderr until process is daemonized, even if a log file is setLaine Stump2023-02-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Once a log file (specified on the commandline) is opened, the logging functions will stop sending error logs to stderr, which is annoying if passt has been started by another process that wants to collect error messages from stderr so it can report why passt failed to start. It would be much nicer if passt continued sending all log messages to stderr until it daemonizes itself (at which point the process that started passt can assume that it was started successfully). The system log mask is set to LOG_EMERG when the process starts, and we're already using that to do "special" logging during the period from process start until the log level requested on the commandline is processed (setting the log mask to something else). This period *almost* matches with "the time before the process is daemonized"; if we just delay setting the log mask a tiny bit, then it will match exactly, and we can use it to determine if we need to send log messages to stderr even when a log file has been specified and opened. This patch delays the setting of the log mask until immediately before the call to __daemon(). It also modifies logfn() slightly, so that it will log to stderr any time log mask is LOG_EMERG, even if a log file has been opened.

* log, conf: Add support for logging to fileStefano Brivio2022-10-141-18/+240
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some environments, such as KubeVirt pods, we might not have a system logger available. We could choose to run in foreground, but this takes away the convenient synchronisation mechanism derived from forking to background when interfaces are ready. Add optional logging to file with -l/--log-file and --log-size. Unfortunately, this means we need to duplicate features that are more appropriately implemented by a system logger, such as rotation. Keep that reasonably simple, by using fallocate() with range collapsing where supported (Linux kernel >= 3.15, extent-based ext4 and XFS) and falling back to an unsophisticated block-by-block moving of entries toward the beginning of the file once we reach the (mandatory) size limit. While at it, clarify the role of LOG_EMERG in passt.c. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

Logging to file is going to add some further complexity that we don't want to squeeze into util.c. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
