This way resolve_remove can be called once per interface and
remove IPv4 and IPv6 addresses at once.
In addition, this allows to remove the IP addresses and DNS
servers within the same main loop cycle. This will allow iwd
to make an attempt to remove the DNS servers on shutdown of iwd.
Instead of using a flag ipv4_static, just store the value of the rtm
protocol directly inside netconfig object. This allows us to simplify
the logic quite significantly and avoid repeating the conditional
expression needlessly
The routes are installed as a result of a successful installation
of the IP addresses. The gateway is fetched with netconfig_ipv4_get_gateway
helper function according to the origin of the installed IP address.
The route priority offset can be set in main.conf. The default value
of 300 is used if the offset isn’t set.
The DNS addresses are installed as a result of a successful
installation of the IP addresses. The DNS lists are fetched
with netconfig_ipv4_get_dns helper function according to the
origin of the installed IP address.
iwd reconfigures the wireless interfaces with respective
connection events. Each supported network protocol is
reconfigured. The address for each protocol is
selected as static or dynamic based on availability.
netconfig_ipv4_get_ifaddr helper function allows to fetch IPv4
addresses from static or dynamic sources. The origin of the addresses
is noted in 'ipv4_is_static' flag.
The module is responsible for the configuration of the address
resolution services. It will consist of the multiple service
specific plugins such as: systemd-resolved plugin, dnsmasq
plugin, etc.
netconfig is interested in three station states: connected,
disconnected and connected after it has roamed. On connected
it tries to obtain a new DHCP lease, on disconnected it stops
the DHCP client and discards all addresses from interface, on
connected after roaming it will try to request a previously
issued address.
iwd keeps track of the addresses assigned to the managed
interfaces. The list of assigned IPv4/IPv6 addresses is stored
in ifaddr_list inside of netconfig. The tracking of the IP
addresses will help to remove them from an interface once they
are no longer valid.
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.
