Fixes#3374. The problem is that we set MACPolicy=persistent (i.e. we would
like to generate persistent MAC addresses for interfaces which don't have a
fixed MAC address), but various virtual interfaces including bridges, tun/tap,
bonds, etc., do not not have the necessary ID_NET_NAME_* attributes and udev
would not assing the address and warn:
Could not generate persistent MAC address for $name: No such file or directory
Basic requirements which I think a solution for this needs to satisfy:
1. No changes to MAC address generation for those cases which are currently
handled successfully. This means that net_get_unique_predictable_data() must
keep returning the same answer, which in turn means net_get_name() must keep
returning the same answer. We can only add more things we look at with lower
priority so that we start to cover cases which were not covered before.
2. Like 1, but for IPvLL seed and DHCP IAD. This is less important, but "nice
to have".
3. Keep MACPolicy=persistent. If people don't want it, they can always apply
local configuration, but in general stable MACs are a good thing. I have never
seen anyone complain about that.
== Various approaches that have been proposed
=== https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3374#issuecomment-223753264 (tomty89)
if !ID_BUS and INTERFACE, use INTERFACE
I think this almost does the good thing, but I don't see the reason to reject ID_BUS
(i.e. physical hardware). Stable MACs are very useful for physical hardware that has
no physical MAC.
=== https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3374#issuecomment-224733069 (teg)
if (should_rename(device, true))
This means looking at name_assign_type. In particular for
NET_NAME_USER should_rename(..., true) returns true. It only returns false
for NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE. So this would cover stuff like br0, bond0, etc,
but would not cover lo and other devices with predictable names. That doesn't
make much sense.
But did teg mean should_rename() or !should_rename()?
=== https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3374#issuecomment-234628502 (tomty89):
+ if (!should_rename(device, true))
+ return udev_device_get_sysname(device)
This covers only devices with NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE. Since the problem applies as
much to bridges and such, this isn't neough.
=== https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3374#issuecomment-281745967 (grafi-tt)
+ /* if the machine doesn't provide data about the device, use the ifname specified by userspace
+ * (this is the case when the device is virtual, e.g., bridge or bond) */
+ s = udev_device_get_sysattr_value(device, "name_assign_type");
+ if (s && safe_atou(s, &type) >= 0 && type == NET_NAME_USER)
+ return udev_device_get_sysname(device);
This does not cover bond0, vnet0, tun/tap and similar.
grafi-tt also proposes patching the kernel, but *not* setting name_assign_type
seems intentional in those cases, because the device name is a result of
enumeration, not set by the userspace.
=== https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3374#issuecomment-288882355 (tomty89)
(also PR #11372)
- MACAddressPolicy=persistent
This break requirement 3. above. It would solve the immediate problem, but I
think the disruption is too big.
=== This patch
This patch means that we will set a "stable" MAC for pretty much any virtual
device by default, where "stable" means keyed off the machine-id and interface
name.
It seems like a big change, but we already did this for most physical devices.
Doing it also for virtual devices doesn't seem like a big issue. It will make
the setup and monitoring of virtualized networks slightly nicer. I don't think
anyone is depending on having the MAC address changed when those devices are
destoryed and recreated. If they do, they'd have to change MACAddressPolicy=.
== Implementation
net_get_name() is called from dhcp_ident_set_iaid() so I didn't change
net_get_name() like in grafi-tt's patch, but net_get_unique_predictable_data().
net_get_unique_predictable_data() is called from get_mac() in link-config.c
and sd_ipv4ll_set_address_seed(), so both of those code paths are affected
and will now get data in some cases where they errored out previously.
The return code is changed to -ENODATA since that gives a nicer error string.
If "keep" policy is specified, and the interface has a name that is
NET_NAME_USER or NET_NAME_RENAMED, we stop processing rules. "keep" should
probably be specified either first or last depending on the preference.
This partially reimplements 55b6530baa, in the
sense that if the "keep" policy is not specified, and if the interface has
a NamingPolicy, it will be renamed, even if it had a name previously.
So this breaks backwards compatibility in this case, but that's more in line
with what users expect.
Closes#9006.
What policy we dicide to use it rather important, but this bit of information
wasn't logged. Let's always do that.
The code was also written in a confusing way, which probably contributed to the
unintended effects of 55b6530baa and other commits.
We would loop over all policies, and note if "kernel" was specified, and then
possibly unset the result at the end. Let's immediately log the result and cut
to the end if we can figure out the answer.
No functional change intended, except for the new log lines.
Using goto is not very elegant, but we can't use break because of the switch,
and there are multiple conditions to break the loop, so using goto is cleanest.
This reverts commit 55b6530baa.
This commit description says "Always rename an interface to its name specified
in config if no NamePolicy= is specified", but it does much more:
1. It completely changes the meaning of NamePolicy=kernel. Before, it meant that an interface
with type==NAMEPOLICY_KERNEL would not be renamed. After, the kernel name only works as
a fallback, if no policy matches.
2. The "if no NamePolicy= is specified" part is not true at all, the interface will be renamed
according to the specified NamePolicy=.
After 55b6530baa, the should_rename() function is named very misleadingly: it is only used
to mean "respect kernel predictable name if no naming policy matches".
Let's revert, and start with a clean slate. This fixes#11436.
The "features" fields is parsed as a tristate value. The values
are thus not of type NetDevFeature enum but int. The NetDevFeature
enum is instead the index for the features array.
Adjust the type. In practice, this had no impact because NetDevFeature
enum commonly has size of int.
Also, don't use memset() 0xFF to initilize the int with -1. While
it works correctly in practice, it feels ugly.
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 cleans up handling of MTU values across the codebase. Previously
MTU values where stored sometimes in uint32_t, sometimes in uint16_t,
sometimes unsigned and sometimes in size_t. This now unifies this to
uint32_t across the codebase, as that's what netlink spits out, and what
the majority was already using.
Also, all MTU parameters are now parsed with config_parse_mtu() and
config_parse_ipv6_mtu() is dropped as it is now unneeded.
(Note there is one exception for the MTU typing: in the DCHPv4 code we
continue to process the MTU as uint16_t value, as it is encoded like
that in the protocol, and it's probably better stay close to the
protocol there.)
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.
This adds a simple condition/assert/match to the service manager, to
udev's .link handling and to networkd, for matching the kernel version
string.
In this version we only do fnmatch() based globbing, but we might want
to extend that to version comparisons later on, if we like, by slightly
extending the syntax with ">=", "<=", ">", "<" and "==" expressions.
memset() is weird anyway, since it expects an "int" as second parameter,
which it then uses as a byte, i.e. as uint8_t or something like that.
But by passing -1 to it, things get particularly weird, as that relies
on sign expansion to do the right thing.
The advantage is that is the name is mispellt, cpp will warn us.

This improves kernel command line parsing in a number of ways:
a) An kernel option "foo_bar=xyz" is now considered equivalent to
"foo-bar-xyz", i.e. when comparing kernel command line option names "-" and
"_" are now considered equivalent (this only applies to the option names
though, not the option values!). Most of our kernel options used "-" as word
separator in kernel command line options so far, but some used "_". With
this change, which was a source of confusion for users (well, at least of
one user: myself, I just couldn't remember that it's systemd.debug-shell,
not systemd.debug_shell). Considering both as equivalent is inspired how
modern kernel module loading normalizes all kernel module names to use
underscores now too.
b) All options previously using a dash for separating words in kernel command
line options now use an underscore instead, in all documentation and in
code. Since a) has been implemented this should not create any compatibility
problems, but normalizes our documentation and our code.
c) All kernel command line options which take booleans (or are boolean-like)
have been reworked so that "foobar" (without argument) is now equivalent to
"foobar=1" (but not "foobar=0"), thus normalizing the handling of our
boolean arguments. Specifically this means systemd.debug-shell and
systemd_debug_shell=1 are now entirely equivalent.
d) All kernel command line options which take an argument, and where no
argument is specified will now result in a log message. e.g. passing just
"systemd.unit" will no result in a complain that it needs an argument. This
is implemented in the proc_cmdline_missing_value() function.
e) There's now a call proc_cmdline_get_bool() similar to proc_cmdline_get_key()
that parses booleans (following the logic explained in c).
f) The proc_cmdline_parse() call's boolean argument has been replaced by a new
flags argument that takes a common set of bits with proc_cmdline_get_key().
g) All kernel command line APIs now begin with the same "proc_cmdline_" prefix.
h) There are now tests for much of this. Yay!
Link: port to new ethtool ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS
This patch defines a new ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS/SLINKSETTINGS API,
handled by the new get_link_ksettings/set_link_ksettings .
This is a WIP version based on this [kernel
patch](https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8411401/).
commit 0527f1c
3f1ac7a700ommit
35afb33
Change the "out" parameter from uint8_t[8] to uint64_t. On architectures which
enforce pointer alignment this fixes crashes when we previously cast an
unaligned array to uint64_t*, and on others this should at least improve
performance as the compiler now aligns these properly.
This also simplifies the code in most cases by getting rid of typecasts. The
only place which we can't change is struct duid's en.id, as that is _packed_
and public API, so we can't enforce alignment of the "id" field and have to
use memcpy instead.
