Improve the checksum computation by using 64 bit integers instead of the 16 bit
integers in the existing implementation. This change speeds up the computation
with approximately 78% both on 64 bit and 32 bit systems.
Please see RFC 1071 for details.
Try a bit harder to make the kernel drop packets not for us. This should reduce
the number of wakeups from n^2 to n in the number of dhcp clients, which admittedly
only makes a differenc in very extreme cases.
If they are too small to fit the IP+UDP+DHCP headers they can be of no use, so
don't waste resources parsing them. This is at the cost of losing some verbosity
in the logging.
Also move the checking of it to the main message handler, rather than the
options parser.
Fix a bug, so we now drop the packet if any of the magic bytes don't match.
Before we used to only drop the packet if they were all wrong.
Return negative errno in wall_tty_block(). get_ctty_devnr() already
returns a negative errno in case of failure, no need to negate it again.

On virtually any newer Asus mainboard, the eeepc-wmi driver is loaded.
It exposes a backlight device despite the lack of any physical backlight
devices. This fake backlight device has max_brightness set to 0. Since
the introduction of the clamp_brightness function, systemd-backlight
tries to write '1' to brightness and fails.
This patch changes systemd-backlight to exit gracefully when
max_brightness is 0 before performing any action. This affects
both the load and save actions.
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.
If a device is unplugged while we initialize it, we will get ENOENT for
ACL-init (and related stuff). We currently print errors then, which is
misleading. Print a debug-message early and continue.
Filter out everything except UDP packets destined for the DHCP client port,
this should avoid the vast majority of spurious wakeups.
Filter based on [0], with permission.
Possible improvemnts: also check for the DHCP magic cookie to drop invalid
packets. Check for our xid to filter out packets destined for other clients.

Passing the protocol to socket() is redundant as it will be specified again in
bind(). Dropping the redundancy reduces the cost of bind() from ~30ms to ~0ms.
For details see [0].
networkd in a container (i.e., with next to no network latency) can now
negotiate a DHCP lease in 0.7 - 5 ms.
Thanks to Kay for help with debugging and to Daniel Borkmann for the pointer
to fix the problem.

When receiving lots of packets that are not meant for us, we waste a relatively large amount
of cpu time computing their checksums before discarding them. Move the checksum calculation last
so we never compute it for packets which would otherwise be discarded.
