As I noticed a lot of missing information when trying to implement checking
for missing info. I reimplemented the version information script to be more
robust, and here is the result.
Follow up to ec07c3c80b
This tries to add information about when each option was added. It goes
back to version 183.
The version info is included from a separate file to allow generating it,
which would allow more control on the formatting of the final output.
New directive `NFTSet=` provides a method for integrating network configuration
into firewall rules with NFT sets. The benefit of using this setting is that
static network configuration or dynamically obtained network addresses can be
used in firewall rules with the indirection of NFT set types. For example,
access could be granted for hosts in the local subnetwork only. Firewall rules
using IP address of an interface are also instantly updated when the network
configuration changes, for example via DHCP.
This option expects a whitespace separated list of NFT set definitions. Each
definition consists of a colon-separated tuple of source type (one of
"address", "prefix", or "ifindex"), NFT address family (one of "arp", "bridge",
"inet", "ip", "ip6", or "netdev"), table name and set name. The names of tables
and sets must conform to lexical restrictions of NFT table names. The type of
the element used in the NFT filter must match the type implied by the
directive ("address", "prefix" or "ifindex") and address type (IPv4 or IPv6)
as shown type implied by the directive ("address", "prefix" or "ifindex") and
address type (IPv4 or IPv6) must also match the set definition.
When an interface is configured with IP addresses, the addresses, subnetwork
masks or interface index will be appended to the NFT sets. The information will
be removed when the interface is deconfigured. systemd-networkd only inserts
elements to (or removes from) the sets, so the related NFT rules, tables and
sets must be prepared elsewhere in advance. Failures to manage the sets will be
ignored.

Seems OK to me. The full stop is there and has been for at least a few years. And we use <option> for the markup, which is appropriate here.

"Is honoured by the initrd" is OK, because we often speak about the initrd as a single unit. But in the same paragraph we also used "in the initrd", which makes the other use look sloppy. I changed it to "in the initrd" everywhere in that file.

This is autogenerated from files… We use slightly different markup in different files, and it's just too hard to make it consistent. We gave up on this.

Even if different preference is specified, the kernel merges multiple
routes with the same preference. This is problematic when a network has
multiple routers.
Fixes#25138.
New directive `NetLabel=` provides a method for integrating static and dynamic
network configuration into Linux NetLabel subsystem rules, used by Linux
Security Modules (LSMs) for network access control. The label, with suitable
LSM rules, can be used to control connectivity of (for example) a service with
peers in the local network. At least with SELinux, only the ingress can be
controlled but not egress. The benefit of using this setting is that it may be
possible to apply interface independent part of NetLabel configuration at very
early stage of system boot sequence, at the time when the network interfaces
are not available yet, with netlabelctl(8), and the per-interface configuration
with systemd-networkd once the interfaces appear later. Currently this feature
is only implemented for SELinux.
The option expects a single NetLabel label. The label 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:
```
[DHCPv4]
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 10.0.0.123/8, `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"
...
```
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.

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,

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'.
