GLIB has recently started to officially support the gcc cleanup
attribute in its public API, hence let's do the same for our APIs.
With this patch we'll define an xyz_unrefp() call for each public
xyz_unref() call, to make it easy to use inside a
__attribute__((cleanup())) expression. Then, all code is ported over to
make use of this.
The new calls are also documented in the man pages, with examples how to
use them (well, I only added docs where the _unref() call itself already
had docs, and the examples, only cover sd_bus_unrefp() and
sd_event_unrefp()).
This also renames sd_lldp_free() to sd_lldp_unref(), since that's how we
tend to call our destructors these days.
Note that this defines no public macro that wraps gcc's attribute and
makes it easier to use. While I think it's our duty in the library to
make our stuff easy to use, I figure it's not our duty to make gcc's own
features easy to use on its own. Most likely, client code which wants to
make use of this should define its own:
#define _cleanup_(function) __attribute__((cleanup(function)))
Or similar, to make the gcc feature easier to use.
Making this logic public has the benefit that we can remove three header
files whose only purpose was to define these functions internally.
See #2008.

Verify the hoplimit and that the received packet is large enough for the RA
header.
See <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4861#section-6.1.2>.
|
|
We never send packets without first knowing the link-local L3 address,
so we should always include the L2 address in RS packets.
|
|
|
|
This happens when running our test-suite over a socketpair,
so don't fall over in that case.
Fixes issue #1952.

See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4861#section-4.2. Some routers (dnsmasq) will send packets
from global addresses, which would break the default route setup, so ignore those.
This is also what the kernel does.
|
|
The clients may be triggered to be started repeatedly without being stopped first,
simply swallow the error rather than failing the link.

Router Discovery is a core part of IPv6, which by default is handled by the kernel.
However, the kernel implementation is meant as a fall-back, and to fully support
the protocol a userspace implementation is desired.
The protocol essentially listens for Router Advertisement packets from routers
on the local link and use these to configure the client automatically. The four
main pieces of information are: what kind (if any) of DHCPv6 configuration should
be performed; a default gateway; the prefixes that should be considered to be on
the local link; and the prefixes with which we can preform SLAAC in order to pick
a global IPv6 address.
A lot of additional information is also available, which we do not yet fully
support, but which will eventually allow us to avoid the need for DHCPv6 in the
common case.
Short-term, the reason for wanting this is in userspace was the desire to fully
track all the addresses on links we manage, and that is not possible for addresses
managed by the kernel (as the kernel does not expose to us the fact that it
manages these addresses). Moreover, we would like to support stable privacy
addresses, which will soon be mandated and the legacy MAC-based global addresses
deprecated, to do this well we need to handle the generation in userspace. Lastly,
more long-term we wish to support more RA options than what the kernel exposes.

As the data passed is very different, we introduce four different callbacks:
- Generic - router discovery timed out or state machine stopped
- Router - router and link configuration received
- Prefix onlink - configuration for an onlink prefix received
- Prefix autonomous - configuration for to configure a SLAAC address for a prefix received
|
|
Also, stop the state machine when we get into a broken state, rather than just notify the user.

string-util.[ch]
There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve
its own files, hence do something about it.
This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be
updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since
pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this
effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now.
Also touches a few unrelated include files.
|
|
Only callback on error when the statemachine is in a truly broken state. This
is now only the case when we fail to rearm a timer.
|
|
This is unused, and in the future we will pass prefixes and prefixlengths directly
to the callbacks when needed rather than having to search for them.
|
|
This is no longer used.
|
|
The caller of the library is no longer notified, so triggering a timer
just to clean up is not necessary. Instead check for and clean up
invalid prefixes lazily.
|
|
This follows the coding style, and allows some simplification to the rest of the code.
|
|
The caller should push any lifetime information into the kernel and let the kernel handle
prefix expiration.
|
|
There is no need to assign valuse to the states. Also add _INVALID and _MAX,
even though these are not used, it keeps it consistent.
|
|
|

The actual code rename will follow. The reason for the change of name is to make it
simpler and more uniform with how we name other libraries (we don't include the
underlying protocol). The new name also matches the naming in the kernel (which
is particularly relevent here as we expect to let the kernel do some parts of
the protocol and we do others).
