Pass the mac address on to ipv4ll and dhcp clients so they always have
up-to-date information, and may react appropriately to the change.
Also drop setting the mac address from uevent, and only log when the
address actually changes.
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.
Don't set set **ret when returning r < 0, as matching on the errno may easily
give false positives in the future leading to null pointer dereference.

Udev does not run in containers, so instead of relying on it to tell us when a
network device is ready to be used by networkd, we simply assume that any
device was fully initialized before being added to the container.
This allows us users of the library to keep copies of old leases. This is
used by networkd to know what addresses to drop (if any) when the lease
expires.
In the future this may be used by DNAv4 and sd-dhcp-server.
When creating a new link, the kernel will not inform us about the new ifindex
in its ack. We have to listen for newly created devices and deduce the new
ifindex by matching on the ifname.
We used to do this by waiting for a new device from libudev, but that is asking
for trouble, as udev will happily rename the device before handing it to us.
Listen on rtnl instead, the chance of the name being changed before reaching us
is much smaller (if not nil).
Kernel patch in the works to make this unneccessary.
We may not have a dbus daemon in the initrd (until we can rely on kdbus). In
this case, simply ignore any attempts at using the bus. There is only one user
for now, but surely more to come.
In order to work reliably in the real root without kdbus, but at the same time
don't delay boot when kdbus is in use, order ourselves after dbus.service.
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.
Adds a new call sd_event_set_watchdog() that can be used to hook up the
event loop with the watchdog supervision logic of systemd. If enabled
and $WATCHDOG_USEC is set the event loop will ping the invoking systemd
daemon right after coming back from epoll_wait() but not more often than
$WATCHDOG_USEC/4. The epoll_wait() will sleep no longer than
$WATCHDOG_USEC/4*3, to make sure the service manager is called in time.
This means that setting WatchdogSec= in a .service file and calling
sd_event_set_watchdog() in your daemon is enough to hook it up with the
watchdog logic.
This listens to rtnetlink for changes to IFF_UP and IFF_LOWER_UP (link sense). The latter
is simply logged at the moment, but will be useful once we add dhcp support.
A bridge is specified in a .netdev file with a section [Bridge]
and at least the entry Name=.
A link may be joined to a bridge if the .network applied to it has
a Bridge= entry giving the name of the bridge in its [Network] section.
We eagerly create all bridges on startup, and links are added to
bridges as soon as they both appear.
This removed the requirement for devices to be tagged with
'systemd-networkd' before they will be visible to networkd.
Still, as by default we don't ship any .network files, network
devices will simply be tracked, but not touched, unless the
admin configures things explicitly.
Try to emphasize a bit that there should be a mapping between event
loops and threads, hence introduce a logic that there's one "default"
event loop for each thread, that can be queried via
"sd_event_default()".
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
