When checksums of local and remote files match, and when follow = True,
determine if remote destination is a symlink. If so, de-reference it and
pass the link target to the file module as 'dest'.
This change fixes an edge case in file copy behavior when:
- 'dest' is a symlink to some other file ('realdest')
- follow = True
- the checksums of the source file, 'src', and the symlink target, 'realdest',
match.
Because the checksums match, the copy module is skipped and the file module
is invoked directly with 'dest' = the symlink, and 'src' = the source of the
copy module, whether that source is present on the target machine or not.
When 'src' doesn't exist on the target machine, this leads to an error that
looks like this because it can't change the target of the symlink:
TASK [copy] ********************************************************************
fatal: [192.168.56.101]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "checksum": "f572d396fae9206628714fb2ce00f72e94f2258f", "failed": true, "gid": 1000, "group": "ajdecon", "mode": "0777", "msg": "src file does not exist, use \"force=yes\" if you really want to create the link: /tmp/issue1568/dest_dir/source", "owner": "ajdecon", "path": "/tmp/issue1568/dest_dir/dest", "size": 8, "src": "source", "state": "link", "uid": 1000}
When the path 'src' *does* exist on the target machine, the file module makes
this the symlink "dest -> src" instead of "dest -> realdest"... even if the
checksum of 'src' on the target machine is different from the checksum of 'src'
on the machine where Ansible is running.
Prior to 75b6f61, we strictly limited variables we re-injected. After that
patch however, we re-injected everything which causes problems under certain
circumstances. For now, we'll continue to filter out some properties of
PlayContext for re-injection.
Fixes#14352
This is related to #14559, but only the part for Ansible v2.0
This commit makes merging empty dicts, or equal dicts more efficient.
I noticed that while debugging merge_hash a lot of merges related to empty dictionaries and sometimes also identical dictionaries.

The setup module calls /bin/lsblk once for each device appearing in the /etc/mtab file. However, the same device appears there mutliple times when the system uses bind-mounts. As a result, /bin/lsblk is being called repeatedly to get the uuid of the same device.
On a system with many mounts, this leads to a TimeoutError in the get_mount_facts function of the setup module as described in #14551.
Fixes#14551
ansible_os_family on openSUSE Leap has the wrong value:
"ansible_os_family": "openSUSE Leap",
It should be:
"ansible_os_family": "Suse",
This change fixes that by adding the relevant key and ensuring that dict
lookups replace ' ' with '_' so the key does not contain a space.

- added new function for action plugins this avoids the very fragile checksum code that is shell dependant.
- ported copy module to it
- converted assemble to new stat function
- some corrections and ported temlpate
- updated old checksum function to use new stat one under the hood
- documented revamped remote checksum method
When working around "bad systems that insist on not allowing
updates in an atomic manner", we should not run previous exception
management code that tries to perform atomic move in case of
exception since the dirty non atomic move has already been
performed.
* Fix the way task_include fields were created and copied
* Have blocks get_dep_chain() look at task_include's blocks for proper
dep chain inheritance
* Fix the way task_include fields are copied to prevent a recursive
degradation
Fixes#14460
This adds a new action plugin iosxr_template that allows the
iosxr_template module to pass network device configurations through the
template engine. It also allows configurations to be backed up.
* Make sure dep chains are checked recursively for nested blocks
* Fixing iterator is_failed() check to make sure we're not in a
rescue block before returning True
* Use is_failed() to test whether a host should be added to the TQM
failed_hosts list
* Use is_failed() when compiling the list of hosts left to iterate
over in both the linear and free strategies
Fixes#14222
