-Subject: [PATCH] meson: allow "soft-static" allocations for uids and gids in
- the initrd
-
-The general idea with users and groups created through sysusers is that an
-appropriate number is picked when the allocation is made. The number that is
-selected will be different on each system based on the order of creation of
-users, installed packages, etc. Since system users and groups are not shared
-between installations, this generally is not an issue. But it becomes a problem
-for initrd: some file systems are shared between the initrd and the host (/run
-and /dev are probably the only ones that matter). If the allocations are
-different in the host and the initrd, and files survive switch-root, they will
-have wrong ownership.
-
-This makes the gids build-time-configurable for all groups and users where
-state may survive the switch from initrd to the host.
-
-In particular, all "hardware access" groups are like this: files in /dev will
-be owned by them.  Eventually the new udev would change ownership, but there
-would be a momemnt where the files were owned by the wrong group. The
-allocations are "soft-static" in the language of Fedora packaging guidelines:
-the uid/gid will be used if possible, but we'll fall back to a different
-one. TTY_GID is the exception, because the number is used directly.
-
-Similarly, the possibility to configure "soft-static" uids is added for daemons
-which may usefully run in the initramfs: systemd-network (lease information and
-interface state is serialized to /run), systemd-resolve (stub files and
-interface state), systemd-timesync (/run/systemd/timesync).
-
-Journal files are owned by the group systemd-journal, and acls are granted
-for wheel and adm.
-
-systemd-oom and systemd-coredump are excluded from this patch: I assume that
-oomd is not useful in the initrd, and coredump leaves no state (it only creates
-a pipe in /run?).
-
-The defaults are not changed: if nothing is configured, dynamic allocation will
-be used. I looked at a Debian system, and the numbers are all different than
-on Fedora.
-
-For Fedora, see the list of uids and gids at https://pagure.io/setup/blob/master/f/uidgid.
-In particular, systemd-network and systemd-resolve got soft-static numbers to
-make it easy to transition from a non-host-specific initrd to a host system
-already a few years back (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1102002).
-
-I also requested static allocations for sgx, input, render in
-https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/1078,
-https://pagure.io/setup/pull-request/27.
