99e015e28c missed to update the example
below - DHCPv6.AssignAcquiredDelegatedPrefixAddress was moved to
DHCPv6PrefixDelegation.Assign.
As it already defaulted to true since it's introduction in
9efa8a3cff, there's no need to explicitly
list it at all.
For users, the square brackets already serve as markup and clearly delineate
the section name from surrounding text. Putting additional markup around that
only adds clutter. Also, we were very inconsistent in using the quotes. Let's
just drop them altogether.
SR-IOV provides the ability to partition a single physical PCI
resource into virtual PCI functions which can then be injected in
to a VM. In the case of network VFs, SR-IOV improves north-south n
etwork performance (that is, traffic with endpoints outside the
host machine) by allowing traffic to bypass the host machine’s network stack.

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.
This is an attempt to clean up the POP3/SMTP/LPR/… DHCP lease server
data logic in networkd. This reduces code duplication and fixes a number
of bugs.
This removes any support for collecting POP3/SMPT/LPR servers acquired
via local DHCP client releases since noone uses that, and given how old
these protocols are I doubt this will change. It keeps support for
configuring them for the dhcp server however.
The differences between the DNS/NTP/SIP/POP3/SMTP/LPR configuration
logics are minimized.
This removes the relevant symbols from sd-network.h (which is an
internal API only at this point after all).
This is unfortunately not well test, given the old code for this had
barely any tests. But the new code should not perform worse at least,
and allow us to release, since it corrects some interfaces visible in
the .network configuration format.
Fixes: #15943
In DHCPv6-PD environment, where WAN interface requests IPv6 via DHCPv6,
receives the address as well as delegated prefixes, with LAN interfaces
serving those delegated prefixes in their router advertisement messages.
The LAN interfaces on the router themselves do not have
the IPv6 addresses assigned by networkd from the prefix it
serves on that interface. Now this patch enables it.
It doesn't make much sense to have ConfigureWithoutCarrier set, but not
IgnoreCarrierLoss; all the configuration added during initial interface
bring-up will be lost at the first carrier up/down.
This allows users to configure a subnet id that should be used instead
of automatically (sequentially) assigned subnets. The previous attempt
had the downside that the subnet id would not be the same between
networkd restarts. In some setups it is desirable to have predictable
subnet ids across restarts of services and systems.
The code for the assignment had to be broken up into two pieces. One of
them is the old (sequential) assignment of prefixes and the other is the
new assignment based on configured subnet ids. The new assignment code
has to be executed first and has to be taken into account when (later
on) allocating the "old" subnets from the same pool.
Instead of having one iteration through the links we are now trying to
allocate a prefix for every link on every delegated prefix, unless they
received an assignment in a previous iteration.
Defines how link-local and autoconf addresses are generated.
0: generate address based on EUI64 (default)
1: do no generate a link-local address, use EUI64 for addresses generated
from autoconf
2: generate stable privacy addresses, using the secret from
stable_secret (RFC7217)
3: generate stable privacy addresses, using a random secret if unset
