We already handle foreign routing policy rules correctly by the previous
commit. So, the serialization/deserialization of rules are not necessary
anymore.
for planned nft backend we have three choices:
- open/close a new nfnetlink socket for every operation
- keep a nfnetlink socket open internally
- expose a opaque fw_ctx and stash all internal data here.
Originally I opted for the 2nd option, but during review it was
suggested to avoid static storage duration because of perceived
problems with threaded applications.
This adds fw_ctx and new/free functions, then converts the existing api
and nspawn and networkd to use it.
To make Driver= in [Match] section work in containers.
Note that ID_NET_DRIVER= property in udev database is set with the
result of the ethtool. So, this should not change anything for
non-container cases.
Closes#15678.
The code supports SIGTERM and SIGINT to termiante the process. It would
be possible to reporpose one of those signals for the restart operation,
but I think it's better to use a completely different signal to avoid
misunderstandings.
It seems that old kernels do not support prefix routes with
non-default route tables. This adds a fallback logic when adding route
fails. In that case, prefix route is created by kernel and the default
route table is used.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:

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.
This drops a good number of type-specific _cleanup_ macros, and patches
all users to just use the generic ones.
In most recent code we abstained from defining type-specific macros, and
this basically removes all those added already, with the exception of
the really low-level ones.
Having explicit macros for this is not too useful, as the expression
without the extra macro is generally just 2ch wider. We should generally
emphesize generic code, unless there are really good reasons for
specific code, hence let's follow this in this case too.
Note that _cleanup_free_ and similar really low-level, libc'ish, Linux
API'ish macros continue to be defined, only the really high-level OO
ones are dropped. From now on this should really be the rule: for really
low-level stuff, such as memory allocation, fd handling and so one, go
ahead and define explicit per-type macros, but for high-level, specific
program code, just use the generic _cleanup_() macro directly, in order
to keep things simple and as readable as possible for the uninitiated.
Note that before this patch some of the APIs (notable libudev ones) were
already used with the high-level macros at some places and with the
generic _cleanup_ macro at others. With this patch we hence unify on the
latter.
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.
This also adds the ability to incorporate arrays into netlink messages
and to determine when a netlink message is too big, used by some generic
netlink protocols.
The changes both networkd and resolved to make use of the watch_bind
feature of sd-bus to connect to the system bus. This way, both daemons
can be started during early boot, and automatically and instantly
connect to the system bus as it becomes available.
This replaces prior code that used a time-based retry logic to connect
to the bus.
