Similar to DHCPv4's UseHostname option, add a UseFQDN config option in
[DHCPv6] to set the system's transient hostname if the FQDN option is
set in the DHCPv6 response from the server.
This parameter allows configuring the activation policy for an interface,
meaning how it manages the interface's administrative state (IFF_UP flag).
The policy can be configured to bring the interface either up or down when
the interface is (re)configured, to always force the interface either up or
down, or to never change the interface administrative state.
If the interface is bound with BindCarrier=, its administrative state is
controlled by the interface(s) it's bound to, and this parameter is forced
to 'bound'.
This changes the default behavior of how systemd-networkd sets the IFF_UP
flag; previously, it was set up (if not already up) every time the
link_joined() function was called. Now, with the default ActivationPolicy=
setting of 'up', it will only set the IFF_UP flag once, the first time
link_joined() is called, during an interface's configuration; and on
the first link_joined() call each time the interface is reconfigured.

Enhance systemd-networkd to be able to control a CAN device's berr-reporting
flag via the new boolean directive BusErrorReporting= to be used in network
files.
Allow configuration for IPv6 discovered routes to be ignored instead of
adding them as a route. This can be used to block unwanted routes, for
example, you may wish to not receive some set of routes on an interface
if they are causing issues.
SR-IOV provides the ability to partition a single physical PCI
resource into virtual PCI functions which can then be injected in
to a VM. In the case of network VFs, SR-IOV improves north-south n
etwork performance (that is, traffic with endpoints outside the
host machine) by allowing traffic to bypass the host machine’s network stack.

This gets rid of most but not occasions of these loaded terms:
1. scsi_id and friends are something that is supposed to be removed from
our tree (see #7594)
2. The test suite defines an API used by the ubuntu CI. We can remove
this too later, but this needs to be done in sync with the ubuntu CI.
3. In some cases the terms are part of APIs we call or where we expose
concepts the kernel names the way it names them. (In particular all
remaining uses of the word "slave" in our codebase are like this,
it's used by the POSIX PTY layer, by the network subsystem, the mount
API and the block device subsystem). Getting rid of the term in these
contexts would mean doing some major fixes of the kernel ABI first.
Regarding the replacements: when whitelist/blacklist is used as noun we
replace with with allow list/deny list, and when used as verb with
allow-list/deny-list.
This combines set_ensure_allocated() with set_consume(). The cool thing is that
because we know the hash ops, we can correctly free the item if appropriate.
Similarly to set_consume(), the goal is to simplify handling of the case where
the item needs to be freed on error and if already present in the set.
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.
