Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the extended header to avoid any doubt. I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.

reads configuration files from the above directories to configure

kernel parameters.</para>

<title>Configuration Format</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The configuration files contain a list of variable
|
|
assignments, separated by newlines. Empty lines and lines whose
|
|
first non-whitespace character is <literal>#</literal> or
|
|
<literal>;</literal> are ignored.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that either <literal>/</literal> or
|
|
<literal>.</literal> may be used as separators within sysctl
|
|
variable names. If the first separator is a slash, remaining
|
|
slashes and dots are left intact. If the first separator is a dot,
|
|
dots and slashes are interchanged.
|
|
<literal>kernel.domainname=foo</literal> and
|
|
<literal>kernel/domainname=foo</literal> are equivalent and will
|
|
cause <literal>foo</literal> to be written to
|
|
<filename>/proc/sys/kernel/domainname</filename>. Either
|
|
<literal>net.ipv4.conf.enp3s0/200.forwarding</literal> or
|
|
<literal>net/ipv4/conf/enp3s0.200/forwarding</literal> may be used
|
|
to refer to
|
|
<filename>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/enp3s0.200/forwarding</filename>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The settings configured with <filename>sysctl.d</filename>
|
|
files will be applied early on boot. The network
|
|
interface-specific options will also be applied individually for
|
|
each network interface as it shows up in the system. (More
|
|
specifically, <filename>net.ipv4.conf.*</filename>,
|
|
<filename>net.ipv6.conf.*</filename>,
|
|
<filename>net.ipv4.neigh.*</filename> and
|
|
<filename>net.ipv6.neigh.*</filename>).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Many sysctl parameters only become available when certain
|
|
kernel modules are loaded. Modules are usually loaded on demand,
|
|
e.g. when certain hardware is plugged in or network brought up.
|
|
This means that
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-sysctl.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
which runs during early boot will not configure such parameters if
|
|
they become available after it has run. To set such parameters, it
|
|
is recommended to add an
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
rule to set those parameters when they become available.
|
|
Alternatively, a slightly simpler and less efficient option is to
|
|
add the module to
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>modules-load.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
causing it to be loaded statically before sysctl settings are
|
|
applied (see example below).</para>
