From 01efc71ddd2523594b94e8be00d9e51d6cdd6130 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefano Brivio Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2022 14:51:04 +0200 Subject: log, conf: Add support for logging to file 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.
