- Also only allow positive ifindex on both dhcp and ipv4ll
[tomegun: the kernel always sets a positive ifindex, but some APIs accept
ifindex=0 with various meanings, so we should protect against
accidentally passing ifindex=0 along.]

Add an explicit stop state for IPv4LL so that the user can stop the
IPv4LL client from the callback. When returning from the callback,
check also the stop state in order to halt any further protocol
processing.
|
|
Similar to DHCP, the IPv4LL library user can decide to free the LL
client any time the callback is called. Guard against freeing the
LL client in the callback by introducing proper reference counting.
Also update code using the IPv4LL library to properly handle a
returned NULL from the notify and stop functions if the IPv4LL
client was freed.

Currently when both ipv4ll and dhcp are enabled, ipv4ll
address (if one has been claimed) is removed when dhcp
address is aquired. This is not the best thing to do
since there might be clients unaware of the removal
trying to communicate.
This patch provides a smooth transition between ipv4ll
and dhcp. If ipv4ll address was claimed [1] before dhcp,
address is marked as deprecated. Deprecated address is still
a valid address and packets can be received on it but address
cannot be selected as a source address. If dhcp lease cannot
be extended, then ipv4ll address is marked as valid again.
[1] If there is no collision, claiming IPv4LL takes between 4 to
7 seconds.

CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM, too

Increase the chance of using the same link local address between reboots. The
pseudo random sequence of addresses we attempt is now seeded with data that is
very likely to stay the same between reboots, but at the same time be unique
to the specific machine/nic.
First we try to use the ID_NET_NAME_* data from the udev db combined with the
machin-id, which is guaranteed to be unique and persistent, if available. If
that is not possible (e.g., in containers where we don't have access to the
udev db) we fallback to using the MAC address of the interface, which is
guaranteed to be unique, and likely to be persistent.
[tomegun: three minor changes:
- don't expose HASH_KEY in the siphash24 header
- get rid of some compile-warnings (and some casts at the same time),
by using uint8_t[8] rather than uint64_t in the api
- added commit message]

If necessary, restart the clients to deal with a changing mac address
at runtime. This will solve the problem of starting clients on bridges
before they have received their final MAC address.

safe_close() automatically becomes a NOP when a negative fd is passed,
and returns -1 unconditionally. This makes it easy to write lines like
this:
fd = safe_close(fd);
Which will close an fd if it is open, and reset the fd variable
correctly.
By making use of this new scheme we can drop a > 200 lines of code that
was required to test for non-negative fds or to reset the closed fd
variable afterwards.

Implements IPv4LL with respect to RFC 3927
(http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3927.txt) and integrates it
with networkd. Majority of the IPv4LL state machine is
taken from avahi (http://avahi.org/) project's autoip.
IPv4LL can be enabled by IPv4LL=yes under [Network]
section of .network file.
IPv4LL works independent of DHCP but if DHCP lease is
aquired, then LL address will be dropped.
[tomegun: removed a trailing newline and a compiler warning]
