It is not necessary to stop whole configuration process until MTU and
IPv6LL address generation mode are set. But it is enough just setting
IPv6 MTU again after MTU is set, and dropping IPv6LL address after
setting the address generation mode.
The condition does not fix infinite loop of interface reset, as the
interface is reset after netlink reply is received, thus setting_mtu is
false.
See also #18738.
Previously, several failures in link_carrier_gained() make link enter
failed state, and other errors are ignored. Now, all failures in
link_carrier_gained(), moreover, link_update() are critical.
Previously, when a link has already in a numbered group, we cannot
remove the link from the group.
This also fixes the range mentioned in the man page.
Add a new state of type LinkOnlineState which indicates whether a link
is online or not. The state is also used by networkd's manager to expose
the overall online state of the system.
The possible states are:
offline the link (or system) is offline
partial at least one required link is online (see below)
online all required links are online
For links, a link is defined to be "online" if:
- it is managed; and
- its operational state is within the range defined by
RequiredForOnline=; and
- it has an IPv4 address if RequiredFamilyForOnline=ipv4 or =both; and
- it has an IPv6 address if RequiredFamilyForOnline=ipv6 or =both.
A link is defined to be "offline" if:
- it is managed; and
- it is not online, i.e. its operational state is not within the range
defined by RequiredForOnline=, and/or it is missing an IP address in
a required address family.
Otherwise, the link online state is undefined (represented internally as
_LINK_ONLINE_STATUS_INVALID or -EINVAL). Put another way, networkd will
only offer a meaningful online state for managed links where
RequiredForOnline=yes.
For the manager, the online state is a function of the online state of
all links which are requried for online, i.e. RequiredForOnline=yes. If
all required links are online, then the manager online state is defined
to be "online". If at least one of the required links is online, then
the manager online state is defined to be "partial". If none of
the required links are online, then the manager online state is defined
to be "offline". If there are no managed links, or RequiredForOnline=no
for all managed links, then the manager online state is undefined as
above.
The purpose of the "partial" state is analogous to the --any switch in
systemd-networkd-wait-online.service(8). For example, a required link
which lacks a carrier on boot will not force the overall (manager)
online state to "offline" if there is an alternative link available.
Previously, when link_new() fails, `link_unref()` was called, so,
`Manager::links` may become dirty.
This introduces `link_drop_or_unref()` and it will be called on
failure.
Why is this necessary? Several examples below.
- When a route sets prefsrc, then the address must be already assigned
(see issue #19285), and also it must be ready if IPv6.
- When a route or nexthop sets gateway, then the address must be reachable.
- When a route sets nexthop ID, then the corresponding nexthop must be
assigned.
- When a route sets multipath routes on another interface, then the
interface must exist and be ready to configure.
- When configuring address, the same address must not be under removing
(see issue #18108).
Etc,. etc,...
So, this makes all requests about addresses, routes, and nethops are once
stored in the queue, and will be processed when they are ready to configure.
Fixes#18108 and #19285.
After 4b30f2e135, reading stable_secret
sysctl property fails with -ENOMEM, instead of -EIO.
This is due to read_full_virtual_file() uses read() as the backend while
read_one_line_file() uses fgetc(). And each functions return different
error on fails.
Anyway, the failure is harmless here. So, the log message and comment is
updated.
Closes one of the issues in #19410.
Previously, if DUID-UUID is used, all configurations are configured
after networkd gets product uuid of machine.
This makes only DHCP clients are delayed, and other configs are
configured earlier.
