This adds a new crypttab option for volumes "pkcs11-uri=" which takes a
PKCS#11 URI. When used the key stored in the line's key file is
decrypted with the private key the PKCS#11 URI indiciates.
This means any smartcard that can store private RSA keys is usable for
unlocking LUKS devices.
This adds a udev tag that is supposed to be attached to all devices
that might potentially expose a PKCS#11 slot, i.e. CCID smartcards and
similar. We can then use the appearance of devices of this type as
trigger to rescan PKCS#11 slots.
Let's improve memory allocation for call such as strv_extend() that just
one item to an strv: these are often called in a loop, where they used
to be very ineffecient, since we'd allocate byte-exact space. With this
change let's improve on that, by allocating exponentially by rounding up
to the next exponent of 2. This way we get GREEDY_REALLOC()-like
behaviour without passing around state.
In fact this should be good enough so that we could replace existing
loops around GREEDY_REALLOC() for strv build-up with plain strv_extend()
and get similar behaviour.
If a daemon is not started as root, most likely it also can't create its
directory and let's not try to resolve the user in that case either.
Create /run/systemd/netif/lldp with tmpfiles.d like other netif directories.
This is also very helpful for preparing a RootImage for the daemons as NSS crud
is not needed.
Intermediate Functional Block
The Intermediate Functional Block (ifb) pseudo network interface acts as a QoS concentrator for multiple different sources of traffic. Packets from or to other interfaces have to be redirected to it using the mirred action in order to be handled, regularly routed traffic will be dropped. This way, a single stack of qdiscs, classes and filters can be shared between multiple interfaces.
Here's a simple example to feed incoming traffic from multiple interfaces through a Stochastic Fairness Queue (sfq):
(1) # modprobe ifb
(2) # ip link set ifb0 up
(3) # tc qdisc add dev ifb0 root sfq
CID 1409488.
This code was added in 903659e7b2. The change
that is done here is a simple fix to avoid use of a
unitialized/wrongly-initialized variable, but the bigger issue is that nothing
looks at the returned result to distinguish between 0 and a positive return
value.
If the interface is in initialized state, no network file is assigned to
the interface. If an interface is not managed by networkd, previously,
the foreign configs of the interface was dropped.
Fixes#14250.
The kernel resets the ipv6 mtu after NETDEV_UP or NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event,
so we must reset the ipv6 mtu to our configured value after we detect
IFF_UP flag set or after we set the device mtu.
Fixes: #13914.
