Moving all strings to the errors package wasn't a good idea after all.
Our custom implementation of Go errors predates everything that's nice
and good about working with errors in Go. Take as an example what we
have to do to get an error message:
```go
func GetErrorMessage(err error) string {
switch err.(type) {
case errcode.Error:
e, _ := err.(errcode.Error)
return e.Message
case errcode.ErrorCode:
ec, _ := err.(errcode.ErrorCode)
return ec.Message()
default:
return err.Error()
}
}
```
This goes against every good practice for Go development. The language already provides a simple, intuitive and standard way to get error messages, that is calling the `Error()` method from an error. Reinventing the error interface is a mistake.
Our custom implementation also makes very hard to reason about errors, another nice thing about Go. I found several (>10) error declarations that we don't use anywhere. This is a clear sign about how little we know about the errors we return. I also found several error usages where the number of arguments was different than the parameters declared in the error, another clear example of how difficult is to reason about errors.
Moreover, our custom implementation didn't really make easier for people to return custom HTTP status code depending on the errors. Again, it's hard to reason about when to set custom codes and how. Take an example what we have to do to extract the message and status code from an error before returning a response from the API:
```go
switch err.(type) {
case errcode.ErrorCode:
daError, _ := err.(errcode.ErrorCode)
statusCode = daError.Descriptor().HTTPStatusCode
errMsg = daError.Message()
case errcode.Error:
// For reference, if you're looking for a particular error
// then you can do something like :
// import ( derr "github.com/docker/docker/errors" )
// if daError.ErrorCode() == derr.ErrorCodeNoSuchContainer { ... }
daError, _ := err.(errcode.Error)
statusCode = daError.ErrorCode().Descriptor().HTTPStatusCode
errMsg = daError.Message
default:
// This part of will be removed once we've
// converted everything over to use the errcode package
// FIXME: this is brittle and should not be necessary.
// If we need to differentiate between different possible error types,
// we should create appropriate error types with clearly defined meaning
errStr := strings.ToLower(err.Error())
for keyword, status := range map[string]int{
"not found": http.StatusNotFound,
"no such": http.StatusNotFound,
"bad parameter": http.StatusBadRequest,
"conflict": http.StatusConflict,
"impossible": http.StatusNotAcceptable,
"wrong login/password": http.StatusUnauthorized,
"hasn't been activated": http.StatusForbidden,
} {
if strings.Contains(errStr, keyword) {
statusCode = status
break
}
}
}
```
You can notice two things in that code:
1. We have to explain how errors work, because our implementation goes against how easy to use Go errors are.
2. At no moment we arrived to remove that `switch` statement that was the original reason to use our custom implementation.
This change removes all our status errors from the errors package and puts them back in their specific contexts.
IT puts the messages back with their contexts. That way, we know right away when errors used and how to generate their messages.
It uses custom interfaces to reason about errors. Errors that need to response with a custom status code MUST implementent this simple interface:
```go
type errorWithStatus interface {
HTTPErrorStatusCode() int
}
```
This interface is very straightforward to implement. It also preserves Go errors real behavior, getting the message is as simple as using the `Error()` method.
I included helper functions to generate errors that use custom status code in `errors/errors.go`.
By doing this, we remove the hard dependency we have eeverywhere to our custom errors package. Yes, you can use it as a helper to generate error, but it's still very easy to generate errors without it.

The execdriver pipes setup uses OS pipes with fds so that they can be
chown'ed to the remapped root user for proper access. Recent flakiness
in certain short-lived tests (usually via the "exec" path) reveals that
the copy routines are not completing before exit/tear-down.
This fix adds synchronization and proper closure such that these
routines exit successfully.

We generally want to filter the personality(2) syscall, as it
allows disabling ASLR, and turning on some poorly supported
emulations that have been the target of CVEs. However the use
cases for reading the current value, setting the default
PER_LINUX personality, and setting PER_LINUX32 for 32 bit
emulation are fine.

Since Docker is already skipping newlines in /etc/sub{uid,gid},
this patch skips commented out lines - otherwise Docker fails to start.
Add unit test also.

We need to add delegate yes to docker's service file so that it can
manage the cgroups of the processes that it launches without systemd
interfering with them and moving the processes after it is reloaded.
```
Delegate=
Turns on delegation of further resource control partitioning to
processes of the unit. For unprivileged services (i.e. those
using the User= setting), this allows processes to create a
subhierarchy beneath its control group path. For privileged
services and scopes, this ensures the processes will have all
control group controllers enabled.
```
This is the proper fix for issue #20152

Instead of using a process expansion to feed the right arguments to
docker to run on "mh-keystore", just moves up the next step which makes
"mh-keystore" the default target. This makes the guide a bit shorter and
easier to understand.

Because devices will be bind-mounted instead of using `mknod`, we need
to make sure the source exists and filter the list by only those whose
source is a valid path/current device entry.
