Interfaces may come up at any time, even during our initialization of
them, for various reasons; e.g. the kernel will raise VLAN when its
parent is raised; or we will raise an interface if configured with
BindCarrier and its associated interfaces come up.
When LinkLocalAddressing has been disabled for ipv6, we disable
addr_gen_mode in the kernel, so it will not automatically create a
ipv6ll address when the interface is raised. However, we currently
drop all foreign addresses before disabling addr_gen_mode.
If the link has been up for a long time, then its kernel-created ipv6ll
address will be correctly dropped. If the link is down, and stays
down until we raise it after finishing configuration, the addr_gen_mode
setting will be disabled when the interface is raised and the kernel
will not create any ipv6ll address.
However, if the interface is raised after dropping foreign config,
but before we have disabled addr_gen_mode, the kernel will create a
ipv6ll tentative address that will eventually finish DAD and become a
working ipv6ll address, even though we have been configured to disable
ipv6ll.
Moving our call to drop foreign addresses to after we have successfully
set addr_gen_mode closes this window; after we disable addr_gen_mode,
we can safely remove foreign ipv6ll addresses (including tentative ones)
and be sure that the kernel will not create any more.
Fixes: #13882.
The kernel will create an ipv6ll tentative address immediately when an
interface is raised if addr_gen_mode is not disabled; and, the kernel does
not notify netlink listeners about any tentative addresses. So it's
possible for an interface to contain tentative ipv6 link-local address(es)
that networkd doesn't know about when all foreign addresses are dropped.
In this case, networkd is later notified about the new ipv6ll address(es)
after they finish DAD and are no longer tentative; but since that's after
networkd has already dropped foreign addresses, they are incorrectly left
on the interface.
Similar to the link->setting_mtu flag, this delays continued configuration
until after the genmode has been successfully set; this is important
because we do not want networkd to raise the interface before the genmode
has been set, as if we're disabling the genmode, raising the interface
before we have successfully disabled the genmode will result in the kernel
creating a ipv6ll address, even though we don't want that.
We should allow the ones that the [Unit] section of regular unit files
may accet, but no other, in particular not the internal deps we
synthesize as reverse of explicitly configured ones, such was WantedBy=.
Fixes: #14251
It makes sense to filter state changes for some load states that
shouldn't happen, but the common cases should be accepted, because they
might happen during runtime when "systemctl daemon-reload" is issued and
unit files changed state in between. Otherwise we lose events.
Fixes: #4708
So far we set up a loopback file read-only iff ProtectSystem= and
ProtectHome= both where set to values that mark these dirs read-only.
Let's extend that and also be happy if /home and the root dir are marked
read-only by some other means.
