Subject: Read the /etc/hostid file directly.
X-Git-Tag: spl-0.6.0-rc5~3
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0d54dcb56685ac58e68e46b7848f0f2c2863dc6e;p=spl

Read the /etc/hostid file directly.

Deprecate the /usr/bin/hostid call by reading the /etc/hostid file
directly. Add the spl_hostid_path parameter to override the default
/etc/hostid path.

Rename the set_hostid() function to hostid_exec() to better reflect
actual behavior and complement the new hostid_read() function.

Use HW_INVALID_HOSTID as the spl_hostid sentinel value because
zero seems to be a valid gethostid() result on Linux.

+ * Read the unique system identifier from the /etc/hostid file.
+ *
+ * The behavior of /usr/bin/hostid on Linux systems with the
+ * regular eglibc and coreutils is:
+ *
+ *   1. Generate the value if the /etc/hostid file does not exist
+ *      or if the /etc/hostid file is less than four bytes in size.
+ *
+ *   2. If the /etc/hostid file is at least 4 bytes, then return
+ *      the first four bytes [0..3] in native endian order.
+ *
+ *   3. Always ignore bytes [4..] if they exist in the file.
+ *
+ * Only the first four bytes are significant, even on systems that
+ * have a 64-bit word size.
+ *
+ * See:
+ *
+ *   eglibc: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/gethostid.c
+ *   coreutils: src/hostid.c
+ *
+ * Notes:
+ *
+ * The /etc/hostid file on Solaris is a text file that often reads:
+ *
+ *   # DO NOT EDIT
+ *   "0123456789"
+ *
+ * Directly copying this file to Linux results in a constant
+ * hostid of 4f442023 because the default comment constitutes
+ * the first four bytes of the file.
