The lifetime of variables decalred in the main switch/case body is just
weird. Let's not rely on it, but just open a new {} block, like
everywhere else in similar cases.
When an extension image has binaries they should match the host
architecture. Currently there is no way to specify this requirement.
Introduce an ARCHITECTURE field in the extension's release file that
may be set to prevent loading on the wrong host architecture.
Since this new field is introduced late, we don't want to make
specifying it mandatory as it would break existing sysext images.
See https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/24061
A sysext image that merely contains static binaries has no dependency
on the host distribution and should be able to be used anywhere.
Support the special '_any' value for the ID field in the extension to
opt-out of ID and VERSION_ID/SYSEXT_LEVEL matching.
See https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/24061
When we receive NoBinding status code, the requesting binding (address or
any other information) does not exist anymore in the server. Hence,
resending the request is meaningless. Let's restart the transaction from
the beginning in that case.
For example, /proc/device-tree is a symlink to /sys/firmware/devicetree/base,
and the kernel documentation says the symlink should be used by userspace app.
See, https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-firmware-ofw.
Hence, it is useful to make `sd_device_new_from_path()` support such symlink.
Devicetree firmware contains an "aliases" node, containing various
aliases for devices described by the firmware. For ethernet devices,
these are named "ethernet0", "ethernet1", etc. They provide a convenient
means of numbering ethernet devices, especially on systems with no other
stable number other than the address. In particular, U-Boot already uses
these aliases to name its ethernet devices.
Previously, there have been attempts (such as [1]) to add support for
these aliases to Linux. However, these patches have been rejected
because it is the maintainers' view that naming policy be left to
userspace. Well, systemd is userspace, so here we are.
In terms of implementation, apparently there can be multiple device
trees at once. I have decided to dodge this problem for now, and just
use /proc/device-tree. If it is desired to support multiple device trees
later, then the scheme can be modified to include the device tree's
index. For example, /sys/firmware/devicetree/base2/aliases/ethernet3
might be named enb2d3.
For the moment we only support "ethernetX" aliases. Future patches might
want to also handle "canX" and "wifiX".
It is common on boards with only one ethernet device to use an alias of
just "ethernet". In this case, the index is an implicit 0. In case the
author of the firmware made a mistake, we check to ensure that aliases
of "ethernet" and "ethernet0" do not both exist.

ifname_resolvconf_mangle is supposed to remove protocol suffixes like .dhcp
from interface names. But this removed also valid parts of the ifname like
VLAN IDs, e.g. enp2s0u4.72.dhcp -> enp2s0u4 instead of enp2s0u4.72
After this change, everything behind the last dot is removed instead of the first.
