This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
A field "index" is not particularly precise and also might conflict with libc's
index() function definition. Also, pretty much everywhere else we call this
concept "ifindex", including in networkd, the primary user of these libraries.
Hence, let's fix this up and call this "ifindex" everywhere here too.
This is a follow-up to cf447cb62d.
Let's generally follow the rule to not use read() on SOCK_DGRAM sockets, let's
always use recv() on that.
Also, don't abort IPV4ACD logic in case we read a short packet. Simply log and
ignore.
GLIB has recently started to officially support the gcc cleanup
attribute in its public API, hence let's do the same for our APIs.
With this patch we'll define an xyz_unrefp() call for each public
xyz_unref() call, to make it easy to use inside a
__attribute__((cleanup())) expression. Then, all code is ported over to
make use of this.
The new calls are also documented in the man pages, with examples how to
use them (well, I only added docs where the _unref() call itself already
had docs, and the examples, only cover sd_bus_unrefp() and
sd_event_unrefp()).
This also renames sd_lldp_free() to sd_lldp_unref(), since that's how we
tend to call our destructors these days.
Note that this defines no public macro that wraps gcc's attribute and
makes it easier to use. While I think it's our duty in the library to
make our stuff easy to use, I figure it's not our duty to make gcc's own
features easy to use on its own. Most likely, client code which wants to
make use of this should define its own:
#define _cleanup_(function) __attribute__((cleanup(function)))
Or similar, to make the gcc feature easier to use.
Making this logic public has the benefit that we can remove three header
files whose only purpose was to define these functions internally.
See #2008.
There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve
its own files, hence do something about it.
This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be
updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since
pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this
effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now.
Also touches a few unrelated include files.
This splits the Address Conflict Detection out of the Link Local
library so that we can reuse it for DHCP and static addresses in
the future.
Implements RFC5227.
Firstly, no longer distinguish between STOP and INIT states.
Secondly, do not trigger STOP events when calls to sd_ipv4ll_*() fail. The
caller is the one who would receive the event and will already know that the
call to sd_ipv4ll_*() has failed, so it is redundant.
STOP events will now only be triggered by calling sd_ipv4ll_stop() explicitly
or by some internal error in the library triggered by receiving a packet or
an expiring timeout (i.e., any error that would otherwise not be reported
back to the consumer of the library).
Lastly, follow CODING_STYLE and always return NULL on unref. Protect from
objects being destroyed in callbacks accordingly.
We currently process every ARP packet, but we should only care about the ones
relating to our IP address.
Also rename ipv4ll helpers to apr-utils.[ch], and rework the helpers a bit.
- Also only allow positive ifindex on both dhcp and ipv4ll
[tomegun: the kernel always sets a positive ifindex, but some APIs accept
ifindex=0 with various meanings, so we should protect against
accidentally passing ifindex=0 along.]
