This is a follow-up for 9f83091e3c.
Instead of reading the mtime off the configuration files after reading,
let's do so before reading, but with the fd we read the data from. This
is not only cleaner (as it allows us to save one stat()), but also has
the benefit that we'll detect changes that happen while we read the
files.
This also reworks unit file drop-ins to use the common code for
determining drop-in mtime, instead of reading system clock for that.
Prompted by the discussions in #15180.
This is a bit more complex than I hoped, since for PID 1 we need to pass
in the synethetic environment block in we generate on demand.
Intermediate Functional Block
The Intermediate Functional Block (ifb) pseudo network interface acts as a QoS concentrator for multiple different sources of traffic. Packets from or to other interfaces have to be redirected to it using the mirred action in order to be handled, regularly routed traffic will be dropped. This way, a single stack of qdiscs, classes and filters can be shared between multiple interfaces.
Here's a simple example to feed incoming traffic from multiple interfaces through a Stochastic Fairness Queue (sfq):
(1) # modprobe ifb
(2) # ip link set ifb0 up
(3) # tc qdisc add dev ifb0 root sfq
This patch adds netdev ipvtap that is based on the
IP-VLAN network interface, called ipvtap. An ipvtap device can be created
in the same way as an ipvlan device, using 'kind ipvtap', and then accessed
using the tap user space interface.
Media Access Control Security (MACsec) is an 802.1AE IEEE
industry-standard security technology that provides secure
communication for all traffic on Ethernet links.
MACsec provides point-to-point security on Ethernet links between
directly connected nodes and is capable of identifying and preventing
most security threats, including denial of service, intrusion,
man-in-the-middle, masquerading, passive wiretapping, and playback attacks.
Closes#5754
This also changes that .netdev files are loaded in ascending order.
Otherwise, when NetDev.ifname= setting conflicts with other .netdev file,
then .netdev file with large prefix number wins.
c4397d94c3 introduces
link_detach_from_manager() and netdev_detach_from_manager(), and they
set Link::manager or NetDev::manager NULL.
But, at the time e.g. link is removed, hence link_drop() is called,
there may be still some asynchronous netlink call is waiting, and
their callbacks hit assertion.
This make {link,netdev}_detach_from_manager() just drop all references
from manager, but keep the pointer to manager.
Fixes#11411.
