Currently when both ipv4ll and dhcp are enabled, ipv4ll
address (if one has been claimed) is removed when dhcp
address is aquired. This is not the best thing to do
since there might be clients unaware of the removal
trying to communicate.
This patch provides a smooth transition between ipv4ll
and dhcp. If ipv4ll address was claimed [1] before dhcp,
address is marked as deprecated. Deprecated address is still
a valid address and packets can be received on it but address
cannot be selected as a source address. If dhcp lease cannot
be extended, then ipv4ll address is marked as valid again.
[1] If there is no collision, claiming IPv4LL takes between 4 to
7 seconds.
This does not belong in shared as it is mostly a detail of our networking subsystem.
Moreover, now we can use libudev here, which will simplify things.
Implements IPv4LL with respect to RFC 3927
(http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3927.txt) and integrates it
with networkd. Majority of the IPv4LL state machine is
taken from avahi (http://avahi.org/) project's autoip.
IPv4LL can be enabled by IPv4LL=yes under [Network]
section of .network file.
IPv4LL works independent of DHCP but if DHCP lease is
aquired, then LL address will be dropped.

Previously the returned object of constructor functions where sometimes
returned as last, sometimes as first and sometimes as second parameter.
Let's clean this up a bit. Here are the new rules:
1. The object the new object is derived from is put first, if there is any
2. The object we are creating will be returned in the next arguments
3. This is followed by any additional arguments
Rationale:
For functions that operate on an object we always put that object first.
Constructors should probably not be too different in this regard. Also,
if the additional parameters might want to use varargs which suggests to
put them last.
Note that this new scheme only applies to constructor functions, not to
all other functions. We do give a lot of freedom for those.
Note that this commit only changes the order of the new functions we
added, for old ones we accept the wrong order and leave it like that.
So far we followed the rule to always indicate the "flavour" of
constructors after the "_new_" or "_open_" in the function name, so
let's keep things in sync here for rtnl and do the same.
The "sd_" prefix is supposed to be used on exported symbols only, and
not in the middle of names. Let's drop it from the cleanup macros hence,
to make things simpler.
The bus cleanup macros don't carry the "sd_" either, so this brings the
APIs a bit nearer.
This adds support to generate a basic resolv.conf in /run/systemd/network.
This file will not take any effect unless a symlink is created from
/etc/resolv.conf.
Nameservers received over DHCP takes precedence over statically configured ones.
Note: /etc/resolv.conf is severely limited, so in the future we will likely
rather provide a much more powerfull nss plugin (or something to that effect),
but this should allow current users to function without any loss of
functionality.
Static addresses/routes are associated with a network. Dynamic
addresses/routes are associtade with links (as the corresponding network
may be shared by several links).
This will allow specifying more options per address than the
simple Address= entry in the [Network] section.
Preliminary support for the same functionality for [Route] sections
are added, but not yet hooked up, as more testing is needed.
Pass on the line on which a section was decleared to the parsers, so they
can distinguish between multiple sections (if they chose to). Currently
no parsers take advantage of this, but a follow-up patch will do that
to distinguish
[Address]
Address=192.168.0.1/24
Label=one
[Address]
Address=192.168.0.2/24
Label=two
from
[Address]
Address=192.168.0.1/24
Label=one

This daemon listens for and configures network devices tagged with
'systemd-networkd'. By default, no devices are tagged so this daemon
can safely run in parallel with existing network daemons/scripts.
Networks are configured in /etc/systemd/network/*.network. The first .network
file that matches a given link is applied. The matching logic is similar to
the one for .link files, but additionally supports matching on interface name.
The mid-term aim is to provide an alternative to ad-hoc scripts currently used
in initrd's and for wired setups that don't change much (e.g., as seen on
servers/and some embedded systems).
Currently, static addresses and a gateway can be configured.
Example .network file:
[Match]
Name=wlp2s0
[Network]
Description=My Network
Gateway=192.168.1.1
Address=192.168.1.23/24
Address=fe80::9aee:94ff:fe3f:c618/64
