This allows users to configure a subnet id that should be used instead
of automatically (sequentially) assigned subnets. The previous attempt
had the downside that the subnet id would not be the same between
networkd restarts. In some setups it is desirable to have predictable
subnet ids across restarts of services and systems.
The code for the assignment had to be broken up into two pieces. One of
them is the old (sequential) assignment of prefixes and the other is the
new assignment based on configured subnet ids. The new assignment code
has to be executed first and has to be taken into account when (later
on) allocating the "old" subnets from the same pool.
Instead of having one iteration through the links we are now trying to
allocate a prefix for every link on every delegated prefix, unless they
received an assignment in a previous iteration.
Defines how link-local and autoconf addresses are generated.
0: generate address based on EUI64 (default)
1: do no generate a link-local address, use EUI64 for addresses generated
from autoconf
2: generate stable privacy addresses, using the secret from
stable_secret (RFC7217)
3: generate stable privacy addresses, using a random secret if unset
This variable is read by the module and can be used instead of the
suspend= PAM module parameter.
It is also set for the session itself to make debugging easy.
Much like systemd.condition-needs-update= this new switch allows
overriding of a unit file condition, but this time its
ConditionFirstBoot=.
Usecase is also primarily debugging, but could be useful for other
schemes too.
The systemd pstore service archives the contents of /sys/fs/pstore
upon boot so that there is room for a subsequent dump. The issue is
that while the service is present, the kernel still needs to be
configured to write data into the pstore. The kernel has two
parameters, crash_kexec_post_notifiers and printk.always_kmsg_dump,
that control writes into pstore.
The crash_kexec_post_notifiers parameter enables the kernel to write
dmesg (including stack trace) into pstore upon a panic, and
printk.always_kmsg_dump parameter enables the kernel to write dmesg
upon a shutdown (shutdown, reboot, halt).
As it stands today, these parameters are not managed/manipulated by
the systemd pstore service, and are solely reliant upon the user [to
have the foresight] to set them on the kernel command line at boot, or
post boot via sysfs. Furthermore, the user would need to set these
parameters in a persistent fashion so that that they are enabled on
subsequent reboots.
This patch introduces the setting of these two kernel parameters via
the systemd tmpfiles technique.
Link groups are similar to port ranges found in managed switches.
You can add network interfaces to a numbered group and perform operations
on all the interfaces from that group at once.
These arguments contain UserRecord structures serialized to JSON,
however only the "secret" part of it, not a whole user record. We do
this since the secret part is conceptually part of the user record and
in some contexts we need a user record in full with both secret and
non-secret part, and in others just the secret and in other just the
non-secret part, but we want to keep this in memory in the same logic.
Hence, let's rename the arguments where we expect a user record
consisting only of the secret part to "secret".
