networkctl previously called networkd over D-Bus for several operations.
This replaces all of those calls with Varlink, making it the sole IPC
mechanism between networkctl and networkd.
New Varlink methods added to networkd:
- io.systemd.Network.Link (new sub-interface for link-specific
operations):
- Link.Describe — replaces Link.BitRates + DHCPServer.Leases D-Bus
properties
- Link.Up — replaces Link.SetUp D-Bus method (moved from
**io.systemd.Network.LinkUp**)
- Link.Down — replaces Link.SetDown D-Bus method (moved from
**io.systemd.Network.LinkDown**)
- Link.Renew — replaces Link.Renew D-Bus method
- Link.ForceRenew — replaces Link.ForceRenew D-Bus method
- Link.Reconfigure — replaces Link.Reconfigure D-Bus method
- io.systemd.service
- Reload — replaces Manager.Reload D-Bus method
Supporting changes:
- link_get_bit_rates() extracted from networkd-link.c into
networkd-speed-meter.c
- BitRates added to link_build_json() so Link.Describe returns them
inline
alongside the existing interface description, replacing a separate D-Bus
read
- link_reconfigure_full() and manager_reload() extended to accept
sd_varlink*
for deferred async replies (consistent with existing sd_bus_message*
path)
- DHCP lease display (networkctl status) uses Link.Describe instead of
DHCPServer.Leases; falls back to ClientId when hostname is not present
