There are nothing we can configure in udevd for loopback interfaces;
no ethertool configs can be applied, MAC address, interface name should
not be touched.
As LLDP thing does not get involved in the link status, `networkctl lldp`
may not provide an expected information even if the link is in
'configured' state.
Fixes#17360.
Previous commits changed the dhcpv4 retransmission algorithm to be
slightly slower, changing the amount of time it takes to notify
systemd-networkd that the dhcpv4 configuration has (transiently)
failed from around 14 second up to 28 seconds.
Since the test_dhcp_client_with_ipv4ll_without_dhcp_server test
configures an interface to use dhcpv4 without any operating dhcpv4
server running, it must increase the amount of time it waits for
the test interface to reach degraded state.
As interfaces will be reconfigured asynchronously after `networkctl reload`.
So, right after `networkctl reload` is finished, interfaces may be still
in 'configured' state with the old .network files.
They are not really boolean, because we have both ipv4 and ipv6, but
for each protocol we have either unset, no, and yes.
From https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/13316#issuecomment-582906817:
LinkLocalAddressing must be a boolean option, at least for ipv4:
- LinkLocalAddressing=no => no LL at all.
- LinkLocalAddressing=yes + Static Address => invalid configuration, warn and
interpret as LinkLocalAddressing=no, no LL at all.
(we check that during parsing and reject)
- LinkLocalAddressing=yes + DHCP => LL process should be subordinated to the
DHCP one, an LL address must be acquired at start or after a short N
unsuccessful DHCP attemps, and must not stop DHCP to keeping trying. When a
DHCP address is acquired, drop the LL address. If the DHCP address is lost,
re-adquire a new LL address.
(next patch will move in this direction)
- LinkLocalAddressing=fallback has no reason to exist, because LL address must
always be allocated as a fallback option when using DHCP. Having both DHCP
and LL address at the same time is an RFC violation, so
LinkLocalAdressing=yes correctly implemented is already the "fallback"
behavior. The fallback option must be deprecated and if present in older
configs must be interpreted as LinkLocalAddressing=yes.
(removed)
- And for IPv6, the LinkLocalAddress option has any sense at all? IPv6-LL
address aren't required to be always set for every IPv6 enabled interface (in
this case, coexisting with static or dynamic address if any)? Shouldn't be
always =yes?
(good question)
This effectively reverts 29e81083bd. There is no
special "fallback" mode now, so the check doesn't make sense anymore.
The link state file is always removed when networkd is stopping. So,
the deserialization logic does not work. Moreover, the ADDRESSES=
entry is not used by sd-network, so serialization is also not necessary.
Before this commit, event when Gateway=_dhcp4 or _ra is set, the
route was configured with 'protocol static', and other properties
specified by RouteTable=, RouteMTU=, or etc, were ignored.
This commit makes set the route protocol based on the protocol the
gateway address is obtained, and apply other settings if it is not
explicitly specified in the [Route] section.
