From: Luke Shumaker <lukeshu@parabola.nu> Motivation: tmpfiles.d(5) has directives to create btrfs subvolumes. This means that systemd-tmpfiles (which may be called by an ALPM hook) might create subvolumes. For instance, systemd's systemd-nspawn.conf creates a subvolume at `/var/lib/machines/`. This causes a problem when we go to delete the chroot. The command `btrfs subvolume delete` won't recursively delete subvolumes; if a child subvolume was created, it will fail with the fairly unhelpful error message "directory not empty". Solution: Because the subvolume that gets mounted isn't necessarily the toplevel subvolume, and `btrfs subvolume list` gives us paths relative to the toplevel; we need to figure out how our path relates to the toplevel. Figure out the mountpoint (which turns out to be slightly tricky; see below), and call `btrfs subvolume list -a` on it to get the list of subvolumes that are visible to us (and quite possibly some that aren't; the logic for determining which ones it shows is... absurd). This gives us a list of subvolumes with numeric IDs, and paths relative to the toplevel (actually it gives us more than that, and we use a hopefully-correct `sed` expression to trim it down) So then we look at that list of pairs and find the one that matches the ID of the subvolume we're trying to delete (which is easy to get with `btrfs subvolume show`); once we've found the path of our subvolume, we can use that to filter and trim the complete list of paths. From there the remainder of the solution is obvious. Now, back to "figure out the mountpoint"; the normal `stat -c %m` doesn't work. It gives the mounted path of the subvolume closest to the path we give it, not the actual mountpoint. Now, it turns out that `df` can figure out the correct mountpoint (though I haven't investigated how it knows when stat doesn't; but I suspect it parses `/proc/mounts`). So we are reduced to parsing `df`'s output. Now, back to "hopefully-correct `sed` expression"; the output of `btrfs subvolume list -a` is a space-separated sequence of "key value key value...". Unfortunately both keys and values can contain space, and there's no escaping or indication of when this happens. With how we choose to parse it, a path containing a space is truncated at the first space. This means that at least the prefix is correct; if a path gets mangled, it just means that the deletion fails. As "path" is (currently) the last key, it seems tempting to allow it to simply run until the end of the line. However, this creates the possibility of a path containing " path ", which would cause the *prefix* to be trimmed, which means our failure case is now unpredictable, and potentially harmful. While we pretty much trust the user, that's still scary. --- makechrootpkg.in | 84 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 82 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/makechrootpkg.in b/makechrootpkg.in index 5c4b530..ef90a68 100644 --- a/makechrootpkg.in +++ b/makechrootpkg.in @@ -80,6 +80,86 @@ load_vars() { return 0 } +# Usage: btrfs_subvolume_id $SUBVOLUME +btrfs_subvolume_id() ( + set -o pipefail + LC_ALL=C btrfs subvolume show "$1" | sed -n 's/^\tSubvolume ID:\s*//p' +) + +# Usage: btrfs_subvolume_list_all $FILEPATH +# +# Given $FILEPATH somewhere on a mounted btrfs filesystem, print the +# ID and full path of every subvolume on the filesystem, one per line +# in the format "$ID $PATH", where $PATH is relative to the top-level +# subvolume (which might not be what is mounted). +# +# BUG: Due to limitations in the `btrfs` tool, this will not correctly +# list subvolumes whose path contains a space. +btrfs_subvolume_list_all() ( + set -o pipefail + + local mountpoint all + mountpoint="$(df --output=target "$1" | sed 1d)" || return + # The output of `btrfs subvolume list -a` is a space-separated + # sequence of "key value key value...".
