When a bonded interface is brought up, any slaves included in the bond
have their hardware address set to that of the bond master. Although
this allows an interface to be brought up on start up, when the
configuration file is imported into the booted system it prevents
the bonded interface being successfully restarted.
The fix involves obtaining the hardware address of the slaves before
they are added to the bond and then using this value in the
configuration file.
By convention, strstr should be a literal string match. Previously, it
would match as a glob pattern. Some code used that, so add new
functions strglob and strglobin to do what that code expects, and
specify them tightly too. strglob tests whether the glob pattern
matches the entire string (the name strglob is also used in the yorick
language, and that's what it does there), while strglobin tests whether
the glob pattern matches anywhere in the string.
Also tightens str_starts, str_ends, and str_replace to deal with
literal strings only. In a quick grep I did not find code that depended
on these functions matching globs.
Changes the call sites where strstr was used with glob patterns to use
strglobin or strglob as the intention seemed to be (or, in one case,
strstr with the * removed as it did not affect the result anyway).
Currently dracut only support 1 bond, namyly bond0 by default. However multiple
bonds configuration may be needed. For example in kdump, in 1st kernel, more
than one bonds may be configured, and bondX other than bond0 is used as output
interface to remote host which will store dump core. This patch can solve this
problem, to write real bond information to initramfs, 2nd kdump kernel will
use it to create the relevant bondX interface.

copytree() recursively copies the contents of SRC into DEST.
If DEST doesn't exist it is created; if it exists the contents of SRC
get merged into it (duplicate files are overwritten).
If you're using a static network config, you'll want to keep your
nameservers around when NM starts. Write DNS1 (and DNS2, DNS3, etc..)
into the ifcfg file.
Thanks to Mark Hamzy <hamzy@us.ibm.com>
and Will Woods <wwoods@redhat.com> for the patch.
As described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=541410#c2,
if you want NetworkManager to take over an interface that you're using
for NFS root (or other network root device), you need to:
a) set UUID=<uuid> in ifcfg-<iface>, and
b) save the lease file as /var/lib/dhclient-<uuid>-<iface>.lease
This patch should make write-ifcfg handle both these things.
Given that we boot into a modern Linux distribution with the "/run" toplevel
directory, we can easily mount move the whole /run directory to the real
root in the end and have the complete initramfs later on in
/run/initramfs. All log files and /run states are still accessible and
to save space /run/initramfs can be removed later on.
Because the kernel does not mount a tmpfs on /run prior to unpacking the
initramfs cpio image, we have to copy ourselves very early to a tmpfs
and mount it on /run.
Due to lazy umount the old initramfs binaries should
be removed in the end by switch_root.
This feature can be turned on with "--prefix".
We want all "/var/run" information to live in /dev/.run, until the real
root is mounted.
Therefore we mount a tmpfs on /dev/.run, which can/will be bind/move mounted
on /var/run later on.
Format:
bond=<bondname>[:<bondslaves>:[:<options>]]
bondslaves is a comma-separated list of physical (ethernet) interfaces.
options is a comma-separated list on bonding options (modinfo bonding for
details) in format compatible with initscripts.
If options include multi-valued arp_ip_target option, then its values
should be separated by semicolon.
bond without parameters assumes bond=bond0:eth0,eth1:balance-rr
