Now that we don't (mis-)use the env file parser to parse kernel command
lines there's no need anymore to override the used newline character
set. Let's hence drop the argument and just "\n\r" always. This nicely
simplifies our code.
In case networkd is restarted this prevents a removal of an already existing
route that would be configured using networkd. With the proposed changes the
route will be kept on the interface without removing. This happens only on
physical hosts or VMs since networkd handles interface configuration slightly
different in containers.
In case networkd is restarted this prevents a removal of an already existing IP
address that would be configured using networkd. With the proposed changes the
IP address will be kept on the interface without removing. This happens only on

When a link is configured, wait until there is a Router Advertisement before
attempting to start DHCPv6. The intended DHCPv6 mode will be evaluated in
ndisc_router_handler() in networkd-ndisc.c.
Request prefix delegation for a new downstream link that is enabled
after any number of upstream DHCPv6 links. Submit the request after
the link has been configured with a link-local address.
If the upstream DHCPv6 client has already been configured to request
prefixes, attempt to re-assign any possible prefixes between the
already existing links and the new one. If no prefixes are yet
acquired, nothing will happen right away and any prefixes will be
distributed after a reply from the DHCPv6 server.
If none of the already existing downstream links have requested
DHCPv6 prefixes to be assigned, enable prefix delegation for each
client and restart them one by one if they are already running. This
causes the DHCPv6 clients to re-acquire addresses and prefixes and
to re-distribute them to all links when receiving an updated
response from their respective DHCPv6 servers. If the DHCPv6 client
in question was not already running, it is set to request prefixes
but not restarted.
When an error occurs while setting or restarting the DHCPv6 client,
log the incident and move over to the next link.
Fixes#9758.
Use "falling back" instead of "fallback".
Also, it's not an application-specific machine ID, but rather an
application-and-machine-specific ID. Let's call it "app-machine-speicific" for
short.
Now the setting MTU is embedded into the link_up message which makes it
incapable of setting MTU if link is up. MTU can be set while Link is up.
Closes#9254
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
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.
