With these patches applied, networkd is successfully able to get an
address from a DHCP server on an IPoIB interface.
1)
Makes networkd pass the actual interface type to the dhcp client,
instead of hardcoding it to Ethernet.
2)
Fixes some issues in handling the larger (20 Byte) IB MAC addresses in
the dhcp code.
3)
Add a new field to networkds Link struct, which holds the interface
broadcast address.
3.1)
Modify the DHCP code to also expect the broadcast address as parameter.
On an Ethernet-Interface the Broadcast address never changes and is always
all 6 bytes set to 0xFF.
On an IB one however it is not neccesarily always the same, thus
fetching the actual address from the interface is neccesary.
4)
Only the last 8 bytes of an IB MAC are stable, so when using an IB MAC to
generate a client ID, only pass those 8 bytes.
This passes the legacy ethernet address to functions in a lot of places,
which all will need migrated to handle arbitrary size hardware addresses
eventually.
Before this commit, event when Gateway=_dhcp4 or _ra is set, the
route was configured with 'protocol static', and other properties
specified by RouteTable=, RouteMTU=, or etc, were ignored.
This commit makes set the route protocol based on the protocol the
gateway address is obtained, and apply other settings if it is not
explicitly specified in the [Route] section.
This fixes the following issue:
- If a DHCP lease does not contains router option, then routes with
`Gateway=_dhcp` setting introduce unexpected results.
This also makes several failure paths critical. And adjust warnings when
classless routes are provided.
Previously, on DHCPv4 address renewal, the old address may be removed
while the new address is not ready yet.
This also simplifies the logic of removing address and routes.
If DHCP4 client lost a lease, and then soon acquire new lease, then
the removal of the old address may not be completed. If that happens,
and the new and old addresses are the same, then the new address will be
considered as a foreign address. Such a situation can occur when the
DHCP4 server is restarted.
This makes networkd wait for the removal of the old address when a new
lease is acquired.
This also makes the link in configuring state when renewing address.

This gets rid of most but not occasions of these loaded terms:
1. scsi_id and friends are something that is supposed to be removed from
our tree (see #7594)
2. The test suite defines an API used by the ubuntu CI. We can remove
this too later, but this needs to be done in sync with the ubuntu CI.
3. In some cases the terms are part of APIs we call or where we expose
concepts the kernel names the way it names them. (In particular all
remaining uses of the word "slave" in our codebase are like this,
it's used by the POSIX PTY layer, by the network subsystem, the mount
API and the block device subsystem). Getting rid of the term in these
contexts would mean doing some major fixes of the kernel ABI first.
Regarding the replacements: when whitelist/blacklist is used as noun we
replace with with allow list/deny list, and when used as verb with
allow-list/deny-list.
Patch contains a coccinelle script, but it only works in some cases. Many
parts were converted by hand.
Note: I did not fix errors in return value handing. This will be done separate
to keep the patch comprehensible. No functional change is intended in this
patch.
Those fields are both uint32_t, so we should use the same type when parsing.
Having a different type didn't change the result, but let's be consistent.
