Previous implementation of disabling rapid commit was broken, and
dropped by 308d01f3c4.
Let's re-introduce the option in the correct way, as some servers seem
to return borked message when the solicit message contain the rapid
commit option.
Closes#24065.
This reverts PR #23269 and its follow-up commit. Especially,
2299b1cae3 (partially), and
3cf63830ac.
The PR was merged without final approval, and has several issues:
- The NetLabel for static addresses are not assigned, as labels are
stored in the Address objects managed by Network, instead of Link.
- If NetLabel is specified for a static address, then the address
section will be invalid and the address will not be configured,
- It should be implemented with Request object,
- There is no test about the feature.
This reverts PR #22587 and its follow-up commit. More specifically,

The PR was merged without final approval, and has several issues:
- OSS fuzz reported issues in the conf parser,
- It calls synchrnous netlink call, it should not be especially in PID1,
- The importance of NFTSet for CGroup and DynamicUser may be
questionable, at least, there was no justification PID1 should support
it.
- For networkd, it should be implemented with Request object,
- There is no test for the feature.

New directives `NFTSet=`, `IPv4NFTSet=` and `IPv6NFTSet=` provide a method for
integrating configuration of dynamic networks into firewall rules with NFT
sets.
/etc/systemd/network/eth.network
```
[DHCPv4]
...
NFTSet=netdev:filter:eth_ipv4_address
```
```
table netdev filter {
set eth_ipv4_address {
type ipv4_addr
flags interval
}
chain eth_ingress {
type filter hook ingress device "eth0" priority filter; policy drop;
ip saddr != @eth_ipv4_address drop
accept
}
}
```
```
sudo nft list set netdev filter eth_ipv4_address
table netdev filter {
set eth_ipv4_address {
type ipv4_addr
flags interval
elements = { 10.0.0.0/24 }
}
}
```
New directive `NetLabel=` provides a method for integrating dynamic network
configuration into Linux NetLabel subsystem rules, used by Linux security
modules (LSMs) for network access control. The option expects a whitespace
separated list of NetLabel labels. The labels must conform to lexical
restrictions of LSM labels. When an interface is configured with IP addresses,
the addresses and subnetwork masks will be appended to the NetLabel Fallback
Peer Labeling rules. They will be removed when the interface is
deconfigured. Failures to manage the labels will be ignored.
Example:
```
[DHCP]
NetLabel=system_u:object_r:localnet_peer_t:s0
```
With the above rules for interface `eth0`, when the interface is configured with
an IPv4 address of 10.0.0.0/8, `systemd-networkd` performs the equivalent of
`netlabelctl` operation
```
$ sudo netlabelctl unlbl add interface eth0 address:10.0.0.0/8 label:system_u:object_r:localnet_peer_t:s0
```
Result:
```
$ sudo netlabelctl -p unlbl list
...
interface: eth0
address: 10.0.0.0/8
label: "system_u:object_r:localnet_peer_t:s0"
...
```
In the documentation, using the term "managed" for both the RA flag and
the DHCPv6 mode is confusing because the mode is referred to as
"solicit" both in the official DHCPv6 documentation (see RFC 8415) and
in the WithoutRA option.
Furthermore, calling the other RA flag "other information" or "other
address configuration" is confusing because its official name is simply
"other configuration" (see RFC 4861 and RFC 5175) and it isn't used to
assign IP addresses.
Rewrite the documentation for DHCPv6Client and WithoutRA to make it
clear that getting the "managed" RA flag triggers the same kind of DHCP
request as WithoutRA=solicit, whereas getting the "other configuration"
RA flag triggers the same kind of DHCP request as
WithoutRA=information-request.
"Link-local" and "link local" are used throughout man pages and program
output, with the former used far more than the latter. This commit makes
it consistent throughout the project.
The commit 6706ce2fd2 made
IgnoreCarrierLoss= setting also take timespan, to make users handle
issues like #18738 or #20887. But still users needed to explicitly set
a timespan.
This makes networkd automatically determine the timeout when the
situations #18738 or #19832 is detected. Unfortunately, still users have
issue #20887 need to specify a value.
Closes#19832.
The commit 1cf4ed142d makes the IPv4 ACD
enabled unconditionally for IPv4 link-local addresses even if users
explicitly disable ACD.
This makes the IPv4 ACD is enabled by default, but honor user setting.
Fixes#22763.
Add the "Isolated" parameter in the *.network file, e.g.,
[Bridge]
Isolated=true|false
When the Isolated parameter is true, traffic coming out of this port
will only be forward to other ports whose Isolated parameter is false.
When Isolated is not specified, the port uses the kernel default
setting (false).
The "Isolated" parameter was introduced in Linux 4.19.
See man bridge(8) for more details.
But even though the kernel and bridge/iproute2 recognize the "Isolated"
parameter, systemd-networkd did not have a way to set it.
Strictly speaking, this breaks the backward compatibility, but I guess
in most cases people already sets Scope=link for such routes.
This behavior matches with how 'ip route' command adds such route by
default.
Prompted by https://twitter.com/jplitza/status/1480500562391179270.
Also fixes the following:
- IPServiceType= is moved to [DHCPv4] section,
- drop an incorrect sentence in RouteMTUBytes= in [DHCPv4] section.
- drop unnecessary word 'unsigned'.
Both linux kernel kernel and iproute2 uses int32 type for a link group
attribute and -1 has a special meaning, so setting it to 4294967295
would make it -1 in the linux kernel (and ip link cmd).
The setting is completely meaningless, as WithoutRA= and UseDelegatedPrefix=
in [DHCPv6] section, and DHCPv6Client= in [IPv6AcceptRA] section control
the behavior.
Previously, the prefix delegation is enabled when at least one
downstream interfaces request it. But, when the DHCPv6 client on the
upstream interface is configured, some downstream interfaces may not
exist yet, nor have .network file assigned.
Also, if a system has thousands of interfaces, then the previous logic
introduce O(n^2) search.
This makes the prefix delegation is always enabled, except when it is
explicitly disabled. Hopefully, that should not break anything, as the
DHCPv6 server should ignore the prefix delegation request if the server
do not have any prefix to delegate.
When Assign= in [DHCPv6PrefixDelegation] is enabled, then the kernel
will create the prefix route for the assigned address with metric 256.
When Assign= is disabled, then the kernel will create the route with
metric 1024.
For the default value, we should choose a smaller value (higher priority)
than 1024, as the unreachable routes for delegated prefix will be
configured with 1024.
Previously, when Priority= is unspecified, networkd configured the rule with
the highest (=0) priority. This commit makes networkd distinguish the case
the setting is unspecified and one explicitly specified as Priority=0.
Note.
1) If the priority is unspecified on configure, then kernel dynamically picks
a priority for the rule.
2) The new behavior is consistent with 'ip rule' command.
Replaces #15606.
Note that this slightly breaks backward compatibility when
Termination=1. Previously, this is handled as boolean true, then 120 ohm
was used. But now with this commit, it is handled as 1 ohm.
If ActivationPolicy= is set to down, always-down, or manual, then any
matching link will delay boot (due to delaying network-online.target).
If RequiredForOnline= wasn't explicitly set, then default it to false
if ActivationPolicy= is down or manual. If ActivationPolicy=always-down,
then force RequiredForOnline=no.
Previously, IPv6LinkLocalAddressGenerationMode= is not set, then we
define the address generation mode based on the result of reading
stable_secret sysctl value. This makes the mode is determined by whether
a secret address is specified in the new setting.
Closes#19622.
Previously, when a link has already in a numbered group, we cannot
remove the link from the group.
This also fixes the range mentioned in the man page.
With new "online state" semantics in networkd, make the description of
RequiredFamilyForOnline= a little more broad. Some rewording has been
done to make the passage easier to understand.
The settings were listen in a completely random order, also different
between the v4 and v6 sections. Order by "options sent", "options received",
"communication settings" in both sections.
Also minor formatting changes are done, e.g. "=" is added in various places.
