In general we almost never hit those asserts in production code, so users see
them very rarely, if ever. But either way, we just need something that users
can pass to the developers.
We have quite a few of those asserts, and some have fairly nice messages, but
many are like "WTF?" or "???" or "unexpected something". The error that is
printed includes the file location, and function name. In almost all functions
there's at most one assert, so the function name alone is enough to identify
the failure for a developer. So we don't get much extra from the message, and
we might just as well drop them.
Dropping them makes our code a tiny bit smaller, and most importantly, improves
development experience by making it easy to insert such an assert in the code
without thinking how to phrase the argument.
E.g. nexthop requires IFF_UP flag, but the currently stored flag may be
outdated if we called link_down(). This makes such requests pending if
at least one of the flags are updating.
networkd already has all information about routes. It is not necessary
to re-read them by using local_gateways().
This also makes manager_find_uplink() take family.
We recently started making more use of malloc_usable_size() and rely on
it (see the string_erase() story). Given that we don't really support
sytems where malloc_usable_size() cannot be trusted beyond statistics
anyway, let's go fully in and rework GREEDY_REALLOC() on top of it:
instead of passing around and maintaining the currenly allocated size
everywhere, let's just derive it automatically from
malloc_usable_size().
I am mostly after this for the simplicity this brings. It also brings
minor efficiency improvements I guess, but things become so much nicer
to look at if we can avoid these allocation size variables everywhere.
Note that the malloc_usable_size() man page says relying on it wasn't
"good programming practice", but I think it does this for reasons that
don't apply here: the greedy realloc logic specifically doesn't rely on
the returned extra size, beyond the fact that it is equal or larger than
what was requested.
(This commit was supposed to be a quick patch btw, but apparently we use
the greedy realloc stuff quite a bit across the codebase, so this ends
up touching *a*lot* of code.)
When /etc/localtime is a symbolic link pointing to another symbolic
link, get_timezone will return -EINVAL instead of the timezone.
This issue can cause systemd-networkd DHCPServer to fail.
Instead of returning failure, log a warning indicating that that
the timezone will not be sent.
modified: networkd-dhcp-server.c
Apparently, in our current public headers (i.e. those called sd-*.h) we
suffixed typedefs that we use as values with _t, but we didn't do this
for enum typedefs. Fix that while this stuff is not actually public yet.
With this scheme "value typedefs" now end systematically in _t, and
"object typedefs" (i.e. structures that are typically passed around via
pointers and not values) do not.
No code changes, just some renaming.
This is an attempt to clean up the POP3/SMTP/LPR/… DHCP lease server
data logic in networkd. This reduces code duplication and fixes a number
of bugs.
This removes any support for collecting POP3/SMPT/LPR servers acquired
via local DHCP client releases since noone uses that, and given how old
these protocols are I doubt this will change. It keeps support for
configuring them for the dhcp server however.
The differences between the DNS/NTP/SIP/POP3/SMTP/LPR configuration
logics are minimized.
This removes the relevant symbols from sd-network.h (which is an
internal API only at this point after all).
This is unfortunately not well test, given the old code for this had
barely any tests. But the new code should not perform worse at least,
and allow us to release, since it corrects some interfaces visible in
the .network configuration format.
Fixes: #15943
This is an attempt to clean-up the DHCP lease server type code a bit. We
now strictly use the same enum everywhere, and store server info in an
array. Moreover, we use the same nomenclature everywhere.
This only makes the changes in the sd-dhcp code. The networkd code is
untouched so far (but should be fixed up like this too. But it's more
complicated since this would then touch actual settings in .network
files).
Note that this also changes some field names in serialized lease files.
But given that these field names have not been part of a released
version of systemd yet, such a change should be ok.
This is pure renaming/refactoring, shouldn't actually change any
behaviour.
This should hopefully help us avoid c&p mistakes. And there are plans to
add more settings like this, which should then be rather straightforward.
There is a slight functional change: the code got uplink handling wrong
and run manager_find_uplink() repeatedly. That part is fixed.
When specifying `DHCPv4.SendOption=`, it is used by systemd-networkd to
set the value of that option within the DHCP request that is sent out.
This differs to setting `DHCPServer.SendOption=`, which will place all
the options together as suboptions into the vendor-specific information
(code 43) option.
This commit adds two new config options, `DHCPv4.SendVendorOption=` and
`DHCPServer.SendVendorOption=`. These both have the behaviour of the old
`DHCPServer.SendOption=` flag, and set the value of the suboption in the
vendor-specific information option.
The behaviour of `DHCPServer.SendOption=` is then changed to reflect
that of `DHCPv4.SendOption=`. It will set the value of the corresponding
option in the DHCP request.
