Some places invoked fflush() directly with their own manual error
checking, let's unify all that by using fflush_and_check().
This also unifies the general error paths of fflush()+rename() file
writers.
Justification is similar to BPDUGuard rename. "Positive" values
are easier. This is a rather uncommon option, so using a slightly
longer name should not be a problem, and may in fact may make it
easier to guess what the option does without reading the
documentation.
Rename to follow the follow the style of other options.
In general "positive" options are preferred to "negative" ones,
because they are easier to describe and easier for humans to
parse (c.f. the shortening on the man page entry).
Merge write_string_file(), write_string_file_no_create() and
write_string_file_atomic() into write_string_file() and provide a flags mask
that allows combinations of atomic writing, newline appending and automatic
file creation. Change all users accordingly.
- Make sure that the IPv6PrivacyExtensions=yes results in
prefer-temporary, not prefer-public.
- Introduce special enum value "kernel" to leave setting unset, similar
how we have it for the IP forwarding settings.
- Bring the enum values in sync with the the strings we parse for them,
to the level this makes sense (specifically, rename "disabled" to
"no", and "prefer-temporary" to "yes").
- Make sure we really set the value to to "no" by default, the way it is
already documented in the man page.
- Fix whitespace error.
- Make sure link_ipv6_privacy_extensions() actually returns the correct
enum type, rather than implicitly casting it to "bool".
- properly size formatting buffer for ipv6 sysctl value
- Don't complain if /proc/sys isn't writable
- Document that the enum follows the kernel's own values (0 = off, 1 =
prefer-public, 2 = prefer-temporary)
- Drop redundant negating of error code passed to log_syntax()
- Manpage fixes
This fixes a number of issues from PR #417
1) never bother with setting the flag for loopback devices
2) if we fail to write the flag due to EROFS (which is likely to happen
in containers where /proc/sys is read-only) or any other error, check
if the flag already has the right value. If so, don't complain.
Closes#469
This patch add support for ipv6 privacy extensions.
The variable /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<if>/use_tempaddr
can be changed via the boolean
IPv6PrivacyExtensions=[yes/no/prefer-temporary]
When true enables privacy extensions, but prefer public addresses over
temporary addresses.
prefer-temporary prefers temporary adresses over public addresses.
Defaults to false.

If a link is attempted t obe enslaved by a netdev that has already failed, we
must fail immediately and not save the callback for later, as it will then
never get triggered.
In 5a8bcb674f, IPForwarding was introduced
to set forwarding flags on interfaces in .network files. networkd sets
forwarding options regardless of the previous setting, even if it was
set by e.g. sysctl. This commit creates a new option for IPForwarding,
"kernel", that preserves the sysctl settings rather than always setting
them.
See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89509 for the initial
bug report.

This reverts commit 43c6d5abac
(and a small part of 4046d8361c)
It turns out we don't actually need to set the global ip_forward setting.
The only relevant setting is the one on each interface.
What the global toggle actually does is switch forwarding on/off for all
currently present interfaces and change the default for new ones.
That means that by setting the global ip_forward we
- Introduce a race condition, because if the interface with IPForward=yes
is brought up after one with IPForward=no, both will have forwarding
enabled, because the global switch turns it on for all interfaces.
If the other interface comes up first networkd correctly sets forward=0
and it doesn't get overridden.
- Change the forwarding setting for interfaces that networkd is not
configured to touch, even if the user disabled forwarding via sysctl,
either globally or per-interface
As forwarding works fine without this, as long as all relevant interfacest
individually set IPForward=yes: just drop it
This means that non-networkd interfaces use the global default while
networkd interfaces default to off if IPForward isn't given.
This changes log_unit_info() (and friends) to take a real Unit* object
insted of just a unit name as parameter. The call will now prefix all
logged messages with the unit name, thus allowing the unit name to be
dropped from the various passed romat strings, simplifying invocations
drastically, and unifying log output across messages. Also, UNIT= vs.
USER_UNIT= is now derived from the Manager object attached to the Unit
object, instead of getpid(). This has the benefit of correcting the
field for --test runs.
Also contains a couple of other logging improvements:
- Drops a couple of strerror() invocations in favour of using %m.
- Not only .mount units now warn if a symlinks exist for the mount
point already, .automount units do that too, now.
- A few invocations of log_struct() that didn't actually pass any
additional structured data have been replaced by simpler invocations
of log_unit_info() and friends.
- For structured data a new LOG_UNIT_MESSAGE() macro has been added,
that works like LOG_MESSAGE() but prefixes the message with the unit
name. Similar, there's now LOG_LINK_MESSAGE() and
LOG_NETDEV_MESSAGE().
- For structured data new LOG_UNIT_ID(), LOG_LINK_INTERFACE(),
LOG_NETDEV_INTERFACE() macros have been added that generate the
necessary per object fields. The old log_unit_struct() call has been
removed in favour of these new macros used in raw log_struct()
invocations. In addition to removing one more function call this
allows generated structured log messages that contain two object
fields, as necessary for example for network interfaces that are
joined into another network interface, and whose messages shall be
indexed by both.
- The LOG_ERRNO() macro has been removed, in favour of
log_struct_errno(). The latter has the benefit of ensuring that %m in
format strings is properly resolved to the specified error number.
- A number of logging messages have been converted to use
log_unit_info() instead of log_info()
- The client code in sysv-generator no longer #includes core code from
src/core/.
- log_unit_full_errno() has been removed, log_unit_full() instead takes
an errno now, too.
- log_unit_info(), log_link_info(), log_netdev_info() and friends, now
avoid double evaluation of their parameters
When setting IPv6 addresses acquired by DHCPv6, systemd-networkd sets
the IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE flag in the IFA_FLAGS netlink attribute. As
the flag and the attribute are present starting with Linux 3.14, older
kernels will need systemd-network to manage prefix route expiry.
By default, DHCPv6 addresses are first assigned setting the
IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE flag in the IFA_FLAGS netlink attribute. Should
the address assignment fail, the same assignment is tried without
the IFA_FLAGS attribute. Should also the second attempt fail, an error
is printed and address assignment ends with failure. As successful use
of the IFA_FLAGS netlink attribute is recorded in the Link structure,
the DHCPv6 code will know if the kernel or systemd-network fallback
code handles expiring prefixes.
The prefix expiration and IPv6 address updating fallback code is
resurrected from the parts deleted with commit
47d45d3cde.
This patch can be removed once the minimum kernel requirements are
greater than or equal to 3.14.
This should simplify the prototype a bit. The bus parameter is redundant
in most cases, and in the few where it matters it can be derived from
the message via sd_bus_message_get_bus().
This makes adds a couple of fixes:
- Introduces log_netdev_error_errno() and friends, which takes an error
number, and matches what log_link_error_errno() and friends do.
- Replaces a lof ot strerror() usage with log_netdev_error_errno(),
log_link_error_errno() and log_erro_errno()
- Uppercases the first character of many log messages, after all this is
supposed to be english language
- Drops manual negating of error codes before passing them to log
functions, the log functions all do that internally anyway.
Some other minor fixes.
Behaviour should not change really.
The IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE flag prevents the kernel from creating new onlink
prefixes when a DHCPv6 IPv6 address with a prefix length is set from user
space. IPv6 routing will follow the onlink status from Router Advertisment
Prefix Information options or any manually set route, which is the correct
thing to do.
As this flag has a larger value than what fits into an unsigned char, update
the flag attribute to an uint32_t and set it with an IFA_FLAGS attribute
when writing netlink messages to the kernel.
Introduce BindCarrier= to indicate the set of links that determine if
the current link should be brought UP or DOWN.

This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
Pass around Link objcets rather than FdbEntry objects. The link objects have an up-to-date
ifname we can use for logging. match_name sholud _never_ be used for anything except
matching. Firstly, it may be unset (usually is), and secondly it may not be up-to-date.
This allows the admin to set the host-specific part of IPv6 addresses, but still
receive the prefix via SLAAC.
.network file snippet:
[Network]
IPv6Token=::12
gives:
$ ip token
token ::12 dev eth0
This closes https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81177.
This allows both IPv4 and IPv6 link-local addresses to be enabled or disabled. By default
we still enable IPv6LL and disable IPv4LL. The old config option is kept for backwards
compatibility, but removed from the documentation.
We will be woken up on rtnl or dbus activity, so let's just quit if some time has passed and that is the only thing that can happen.
Note that we will always stay around if we expect network activity (e.g. DHCP is enabled), as we are not restarted on that.
Only the very basics, more to come.

If we get a NEWLINK + NEWADDR between enumerating the links and enumerating the addresses, we
would get a warning that the link corresponding to the address does not exist. This is a false
warning as both the NEWLINK and NEWADDR would be processed after enumerating completed, so drop
it.
After all it is now much more like strjoin() than strappend(). At the
same time, add support for NULL sentinels, even if they are normally not
necessary.
We would otherwise wait for the interface to be completely configured, which
could take considerable time with IPv4LL. As a result nspawn was very slow
at obtaining IP addresses.
We need to turn on /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward before the
per-interface forwarding setting is useful, hence let's propagate the
per-interface setting once to the system-wide setting.
Due to the unclear ownership rules of that flag, and the fact that
turning it on also has effects on other sysctl flags we try to minimize
changes to the flag, and only turn it on once. There's no logic to
turning it off again, but this should be fairly unproblematic as the
per-interface setting defaults to off anyway.
This introduces am AddressFamilyBoolean type that works more or less
like a booleaan, but can optionally turn on/off things for ipv4 and ipv6
independently. THis also ports the DHCP field over to it.
This adds two new settings to networkd's .network files:
IPForwarding=yes and IPMasquerade=yes. The former controls the
"forwarding" sysctl setting of the interface, thus controlling whether
IP forwarding shall be enabled on the specific interface. The latter
controls whether a firewall rule shall be installed that exposes traffic
coming from the interface as coming from the local host to all other
interfaces.
This also enables both options by default for container network
interfaces, thus making "systemd-nspawn --network-veth" have network
connectivity out of the box.
