Add a second netconfig-commit backend which, if enabled, doesn't
directly send any of the network configuration to the kernel or system
files but delegates the operation to an interested client's D-Bus
method as described in doc/agent-api.txt. This backend is switched to
when a client registers a netconfig agent object and is swiched away
from when the client disconnects or unregisters the agent. Only one
netconfig agent can be registered any given time.
Add netconfig_event_handler() that responds to events emitted by
the l_netconfig object by calling netconfig_commit, tracking whether
we're connected for either address family and emitting
NETCONFIG_EVENT_CONNECTED or NETCONFIG_EVENT_FAILED as necessary.
NETCONFIG_EVENT_FAILED is a new event as until now failures would cause
the netconfig state machine to stop but no event emitted so that
station.c could take action. As before, these events are only
emitted based on the IPv4 configuration state, not IPv6.
Add netconfig-commit.c whose main method, netconfig_commit actually sets
the configuration obtained by l_netconfig to the system netdev,
specifically it sets local addresses on the interface, adds routes to the
routing table, sets DNS related data and may add entries to the neighbor
cache. netconfig-commit.c uses a backend-ops type structure to allow
for switching backends. In this commit there's only a default backend
that uses l_netconfig_rtnl_apply() and a struct resolve object to write
the configuration.
netconfig_gateway_to_arp is moved from netconfig.c to netconfig-commit.c
(and renamed.) The struct netconfig definition is moved to netconfig.h
so that both files can access the settings stored in the struct.
Add netconfig_enabled() and use that in all places that want to know
whether network configuration is enabled. Drop the enable_network_config
deprecated setting, which was only being handled in one of these 5 or so
places.
netconfig_load_settings is called when establishing a new initial
association to a network. This function tries to update dhcp/dhcpv6
clients with the MAC address of the netdev being used. However, it is
too early to update the MAC here since netdev might need to powercycle
the underlying network device in order to update the MAC (i.e. when
AddressRandomization="network" is used).
If the MAC is set incorrectly, DHCP clients are unable to obtain the
lease properly and station is stuck in "connecting" mode indefinitely.
Fix this by delaying MAC address update until netconfig_configure() is
invoked.
Fixes: ad228461ab ("netconfig: Move loading settings to new method, refactor")
Add two methods that will allow station to implement FILS IP Address
Assigment, one method to decide whether to send the request during
association, and fill in the values to be used in the request IE, and
another to handle the response IE values received from the server and
apply them. The netconfig->rtm_protocol value used when the address is
assigned this way remains RTPROT_DHCP because from the user's point of
view this is automatic IP assigment by the server, a replacement for
DHCP.
Split loading settings out of network_configure into a new method,
network_load_settings. Make sure both consistently handle errors by
printing messages and informing the caller.
This uses l_dhcp_lease_get_server_id to get the IP of the server that
offered us our current lease. l_dhcp_lease_get_server_id returns the
vaue of the L_DHCP_OPTION_SERVER_IDENTIFIER option, which is the address
that any unicast DHCP frames are supposed to be sent to so it seems to
be the best way to get the P2P group owner's IP address as a P2P-client.
Instead of relying on station state changed signal, netconfig
introduces three new API calls to configure, re-configure and
reset the network configurations. The owner of netconfig object
is responsible for initiating the re-configuration of the device
depending on its state.
As a first step to enable the usage of netconfig in ead and
prospective transition to be a part of ell, the public API for
creation and destruction of the netconfig objects has been
renamed and changed. Instead of hiding the netconfig objects inside
of netconfig module, the object is now passed back to the caller.
The internal queue of netconfig objects remains untouched, due
to limitations in ell’s implementation of rtnl. After the proper
changes are done to ell, netconfig_list is expected to be removed
from netconfig module.
netconfig module will be responsible for the orchestration
of the network configuration with the IP addresses.
iwd creates one netconfig structure per interface index.
The purpose of this struct is to hold all of the interface
related addressing states such as: assigned dhcp
clients, known addresses, routes, etc.
