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.
This makes most header files easier to look at. Also Emacs gets really
slow when browsing through large sections of overly long prototypes,
which is much improved by this macro.
We should probably not do something similar with too many other cases,
as macros like this might help readability for some, but make it worse
for others. But I think given the complexity of this specific prototype
and how often we use it, it's worth doing.
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.
Add variables for enabling Router Advertisements, router lifetime as
well as managed and other information flags indicating use of DHCPv6.
Add configuration of default router preferences as defined in RFC 4191.
IPv6PrefixDelegation in the [Network] section has to be set in order
to enable prefix delegation. The rest of the prefix delegation values
are stored in the [IPv6PrefixDelegation] section. The host will act as
a default router if it is given a non-zero lifetime with
RouterLifetimeSec. Managed and OtherInformation booleans set the level
of DHCPv6 support, and the RouterPreference configures the router's
preference between low, medium and high. Words 'normal' and 'default'
are added as synonyms for 'medium' just to make configuration simpler.
This adds a section like the following to .network configuration files:
[Network]
IPv6PrefixDelegation=true
[IPv6PrefixDelegation]
RouterLifetimeSec=2000
Managed=false
OtherInformation=true
RouterPreference=medium
Support zero or more [IPv6Prefix] sections in the network configuration
files. Each section can have one Prefix=<subnet>[/<prefixlength>]
option, with the preferred and valid lifetimes specified by
ValidLifetimeSec and PreferredLifetimeSec measured in seconds, and
with onlink and address autoconfiguration booleans specified by
OnLink and AddressAutoconfiguration variables.
This adds a section like the following to .network configuration files:
[IPv6Prefix]
Prefix=2001:db8:dead:beef::/64
OnLink=true
AddressAutoconfiguration=true
ValidLifetimeSec=1500
PreferredLifetimeSec=1000
Now we track the sections for example [Address] via line number.
Which was fine till we din't had dropins dir. If we have multiple
sections which have the ideantical line number in diffrent files
we are overwriting these since line number is the key.
This patch fixes this by taking filename and line number as key.
This fixes [Address] and [Route] section overwriting.
fixes: #5141
Header files were organized in a way where the includer would add various
typedefs used by the includee before including it, resulting in a tangled
web of dependencies between files.
Replace this with the following logic:
networkd.h
/ \
networkd-link.h \
networkd-ipv4ll.h--\__\
networkd-fdb.h \
networkd-network.h netword-netdev-*.h
networkd-route.h \
networkd-netdev.h
If a pointer to a structure defined in a different header file is needed,
use a typedef line instead of including the whole header.
For now only deserialize some basic state and the applied addresses.
When a link is added, try to deserialize it's state from /run. This
is relevant only when networkd is restarted at runtime.
We only keep the addresses that we added ourselves in link->addresses, and
introduce a new set link->addresses_foreign to keep addresses of unknown
origin.
Only functional change is that "foreign" addresses no longer prevent a link
from entering "configured" state.
