See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4861#section-4.2. Some routers (dnsmasq) will send packets
from global addresses, which would break the default route setup, so ignore those.
This is also what the kernel does.
This adds support for the Client Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)
option [RFC 4702] to libsystemd-network. The option can be used to
exchange information about a DHCPv4 client's fully qualified domain
name and about responsibility for updating the DNS RR related to the
client's address assignment.
Other popular DHCP clients (dhclient, dhcpcd) support this option and
it would be useful to have it in networkd too.
Rather than passing a pointer to return the result, return it directly
from the function calls.
Also, return the result in native endianess, and let the callers care
about the conversion. For hash tables and bloom filters, we don't care,
but in order to keep MAC addresses and DHCP client IDs stable, we
explicitly convert to LE.
Change the "out" parameter from uint8_t[8] to uint64_t. On architectures which
enforce pointer alignment this fixes crashes when we previously cast an
unaligned array to uint64_t*, and on others this should at least improve
performance as the compiler now aligns these properly.
This also simplifies the code in most cases by getting rid of typecasts. The
only place which we can't change is struct duid's en.id, as that is _packed_
and public API, so we can't enforce alignment of the "id" field and have to
use memcpy instead.
Router Discovery is a core part of IPv6, which by default is handled by the kernel.
However, the kernel implementation is meant as a fall-back, and to fully support
the protocol a userspace implementation is desired.
The protocol essentially listens for Router Advertisement packets from routers
on the local link and use these to configure the client automatically. The four
main pieces of information are: what kind (if any) of DHCPv6 configuration should
be performed; a default gateway; the prefixes that should be considered to be on
the local link; and the prefixes with which we can preform SLAAC in order to pick
a global IPv6 address.
A lot of additional information is also available, which we do not yet fully
support, but which will eventually allow us to avoid the need for DHCPv6 in the
common case.
Short-term, the reason for wanting this is in userspace was the desire to fully
track all the addresses on links we manage, and that is not possible for addresses
managed by the kernel (as the kernel does not expose to us the fact that it
manages these addresses). Moreover, we would like to support stable privacy
addresses, which will soon be mandated and the legacy MAC-based global addresses
deprecated, to do this well we need to handle the generation in userspace. Lastly,
more long-term we wish to support more RA options than what the kernel exposes.
As the data passed is very different, we introduce four different callbacks:
- Generic - router discovery timed out or state machine stopped
- Router - router and link configuration received
- Prefix onlink - configuration for an onlink prefix received
- Prefix autonomous - configuration for to configure a SLAAC address for a prefix received
It is really unclear if we want to / have the resources to support this fully, so drop it
for now. It can easily be brought back if a killer usecase emerges.
Note that this code was never hooked up, so this does not remove any features.
Exported header files should not include internal headers. Fix that.
Exported header files should not use the bool type. So far we opted to
stick to C89 for exported headers, and hence use "int" for bools in
them. Continue to do so.
Exported header files should have #include lines for everything they use
including inttypes.h and sys/types.h, so that they may be included in
any order.
Exported header files should have C++ guards, hence add them.
Exported header files should not use gcc extensions like #pragma once,
get rid of it.
There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve
its own files, hence do something about it.
This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be
updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since
pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this
effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now.
Also touches a few unrelated include files.
The caller of the library is no longer notified, so triggering a timer
just to clean up is not necessary. Instead check for and clean up
invalid prefixes lazily.
The actual code rename will follow. The reason for the change of name is to make it
simpler and more uniform with how we name other libraries (we don't include the
underlying protocol). The new name also matches the naming in the kernel (which
is particularly relevent here as we expect to let the kernel do some parts of
the protocol and we do others).
