when the parent interface of a vlan interface is not up (yet), ip link cannot bring the vlan interface up
the vlan interface will be automatically brought up when the parent interface is up later
fixNixOS/nixpkgs#28620
Reverse the PartOf dependency between network-setup and network-addresses-*
This was joint work of: @nh2, @domenkozar, @fpletz, @aszlig and @basvandijk
at the NixCon 2017 hackathon.
Systemd is complaining that it can't delay the startup of device units.
We have a before dependency on the respective device unit for every
netdev service, which doesn't make any sense because we create the
actual interface in this service.
Previously, depending on the environment and the type of interface that
was created, the configured IPs of an interface wouldn't be applied on a
nixos-rebuild switch. It works after a reboot.
This patch ensures that the network-addresses service is started
either via the network-link service or if the networking target is
activated (i.e. on system activation).
Fixes#28474#16230.
This reverts commit 670b4e29adc16e0a29aa5b4c126703dcca56aeb6. The change
added in this commit was controversial when it was originally suggested
in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/29205. Then that PR was closed
and a new one opened, https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/29503,
effectively circumventing the review process. I don't agree with this
modification. Adding an option 'resolveLocalQueries' to tell the locally
running name server that it should resolve local DNS queries feels
outright nuts. I agree that the current state is unsatisfactory and that
it should be improved, but this is not the right way.

When the user specifies the networking.nameservers setting in the
configuration file, it must take precedence over automatically
derived settings.
The culprit was services.bind that made the resolver set to
127.0.0.1 and ignore the nameserver setting.
This patch adds a flag to services.bind to override the nameserver
to localhost. It defaults to true. Setting this to false prevents the
service.bind and dnsmasq.resolveLocalQueries settings from
overriding the users' settings.
Also, when the user specifies a domain to search, it must be set in
the resolver configuration, even if the user does not specify any
nameservers.

This commit was accidentally merged to 17.09 but was intended for
master. This is the cherry-pick to master.
Previously services depending on network-online.target would wait until
dhcpcd times out if it was enabled and a static network address
configuration was used. Setting the default gateway statically is enough
for the networking to be considered online.
This also adjusts the relevant networking tests to wait for
network-online.target instead of just network.target.
This reduces the time window during which IP addresses are gone during
switch-to-configuration. A complication is that with stopIfChanged =
true, preStop would try to delete the *new* IP addresses rather than
the old one (since the preStop script now runs after the switch to the
new configuration). So we now record the actually configured addresses
in /run/nixos/network/addresses/<interface>. This is more robust in
any case.

And adopt the tests to add an interface and remove it again.
It should work when deactivating rstp, it will not work when activating
rstp for the first bridge as then the userspace daemon is not yet
available. But once one bridge is active with stp, it should work with
the reload for any further bridge.
Fixes#21745. Also see #22547.
Until now the four attributes available very selectively provided a small
subset, while copying upstream documentation.
We make driver options an arbitrary key-value set and point to kernel
documentation, which is always up-to-date. This way every option can be set.
The four already existing options are deprecated with a warning.
Previously, netdev units for network interfaces defined in the nixos
configurations would bindTo the systemd device unit of the interface if
not in a container.
In situations where you switch to a new nixos configration with changes
to network-setup.service (like nameservers) and have stacked interfaces
like vlans on a bond, it would fail to propagate restarts to the netdevs
correctly resulting with broken networking. The bond would be present
but no vlan interfaces rendering the machine unreachable.
My fear is that the udev events fail to propagate correctly while a systemd
transaction that is also restarting the triggered netdev service is running.
This commit changes this behaviour so netdev services bindTo other netdev
services if present and otherwise fall back to the previous behaviour.
We also noticed that stacked interfaces would sometimes seemingly be stopped
in the wrong order. For instance in the above example, the bond interface
would be deleted before the vlan interfaces resulting in the vlan interfaces
not being present when their service is being stopped. This would cause the
systemd transaction to fail and thus break networking. Their postStop hooks
are now allowed to fail as we have reached the desired state.
Now the tracking works with aggregated devices on aggregated devices.
So container with physical device where the device is put in a bond
which is the basis for a bridge is now handled correctly.
Test that adding physical devices to containers works, find that network setup
then doesn't work because there is no udev in the container to tell systemd
that the device is present.
Fixed by not depending on the device in the container.
Activate the new container test for release
Bonds, bridges and other network devices need the underlying not as
dependency when used inside the container. Because the device is already
there.
But the address configuration needs the aggregated device itself.
See #18319 for details. Starting network-online.target manually does not
work as it hangs indefinitely.
Additionally, don't treat avahi and dhcpcd special and sync their systemd units
with the respective upstream suggestion.
Systemd upstream provides targets for networking. This also includes a target network-online.target.
In this PR I remove / replace most occurrences since some of them were even wrong and could delay startup.
