Summary of Changes

Hello @eriksjolund, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a subtle bug in error handling within the cgroup-systemd component. It prevents the misuse of the errno global variable by ensuring it is not referenced in error reporting paths that do not stem from a system call failure, thereby improving the accuracy of error messages.

Highlights

  • Error Handling: Corrected an issue where the 'errno' global variable was being used after a successful operation, which could lead to misleading error messages.
  • cgroup-systemd: Specifically, in the 'append_systemd_annotation' function, the error code passed to 'crun_make_error' is now explicitly set to 0 instead of 'errno' when an "unknown type" error occurs, ensuring 'errno' is only consulted when an actual system error has happened.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Changelog
  • src/libcrun/cgroup-systemd.c
    • Fixed incorrect usage of 'errno' in 'append_systemd_annotation' function.
    • Changed error code passed to 'crun_make_error' from 'errno' to 0 for "unknown type" errors.
Activity
  • The author, eriksjolund, opened this pull request to address a specific error handling bug.
  • The pull request title clearly states the intent: 'cgroup-systemd: do not use errno after success'.

Code Review

This pull request correctly fixes an issue where a stale errno value could be used when reporting an error for an unknown type in append_systemd_annotation. The error being reported is a logical one within the application (an unknown type was encountered during parsing), not a system error, so errno is not relevant. By changing errno to 0 in the call to crun_make_error, the fix prevents potentially misleading error messages from being generated. The change is correct and improves the robustness of error handling.
