RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

The dracut installation script does not set the expected value of `nullglob`. If the shell option is set and not correctly cleaned by any of the scripts executed by dracut, the installation of the `prefixdevname` module might fail. The failure can be observed given that the /etc/systemd/network does not exists, which causes the glob expression to be expanded to a null string, and thus no arguments are passed to the `inst_multiple` call.  

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure the /etc/systemd/network does not exists
2. Use `shopt -s nullglob` in one of the /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/ scripts that are executed before `prefixdevname`, simulating that the nullglob is set and not cleaned afterwards. 
3. Run `dracut -f`

Actual results:
```
dracut-install: No SOURCE argument given
Usage: dracut-install -D DESTROOTDIR [-r SYSROOTDIR] [OPTION]... -a SOURCE...
```

Expected results:
No failure reported.

Additional info:
The `shopt -s nullglob` leak will might happen due to a specific system setup in which the `10i18n` calls the `findkeymap` function recursively. Bugzilla reporting this problem to the dracut team:
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2047654

I've already submitted a patch fixing this behaviour: 
- https://github.com/msekletar/prefixdevname/pull/1/files

This should be resolved in dracut: https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/pull/1762

After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
