When setting flow control attributes of an interface we first acquire
the current settings and then add in the new settings before applying
them again. This only works on interfaces that implement the ethtool
ioctls. on others we'll see an ugly "Could not set flow control of"
message, simply because we issue the SIOCETHTOOL ioctl once, for getting
the data. In particular we'll get it for the "lo" interface all the
time, which sucks hard. Let's get rid of it.
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.
The function sd_device_get_property_value has some paths where it exits without
touching the n pointer. In those cases, n remained uninitialized until it was
eventually read inside isempty where it caused the segmentation fault.
Fixes#15078
Two releases ago we started warning about this, and I think it is now to turn
this into a hard error. People get bitten by this every once in a while, and
there doesn't see to be any legitimate use case where the same .link or
.network files should be applied to _all_ interfaces, since in particular that
configuration would apply both to lo and any other interfaces. And if for
whatever reason that is actually desired, OriginalName=* or Name=* can be
easily added to silence the warning and achieve the effect.
(The case described in #12098 is particularly nasty: 'echo -n >foo.network'
creates a mask file, 'echo >foo.network' creates a "match all" file.)
Fixes#717, #12098 for realz now.
This is for 6d36464065. It turns out that this is causing more problems than
expected. Let's retroactively introduce naming scheme v241 to conditionalize
this change.
