net-lib.sh is a library of useful functions for network stuff.
More things may get added/moved here in the future.

Current dracut network only will be setup when netroot is used. But there are
some cases we need network even without netroot. For example kdump will need
copy vmcore to remote machine via scp or nfs mount. OTOH, if we use dracut as
a recovery system the network is helpful even root is not a network device.
This implementation is based on the manually bring up method. Here add a kernel
cmdline argument rd.neednet. If rd.neednet is set dracut will bring up network
with ifup $INTERFACE -m. If netroot is used we still keep original behavior.

For kdump we need scp vmcore to remote machine, the nic to be used is
not limited to netroot one. we need a feature for manually bringing up
network interface. Also it is useful for emergency shell with
ssh-client for recovery or test purpose
I implement this by adding one argument to ifup script, user can use
`/sbin/ifup eth0 -m` to bring up eth0, note ifup will regard it a
manual operation for the nic specified in 1st argument if there's
the 2nd argument.
If same nic is used for netroot the 2nd argument will be ignored,
in this case we will leave netroot bring up it automatically to
avoid side effect. And in this case hooks such as kdump will need to
execute after netroot mounted.
`ifup eth0 -m` will create /tmp/net.eth0.manualup stamp file,
later dhclient-script can check this and pass $2 to netroot,
then netroot script will bring eth0 up
Thanks for comments and suggestions from David Dillow.

The line "source_all netroot" was trying to source netroot hooks from
/netroot, which doesn't exist, so netroot hooks were never executed.

When booting with nfsroot, dracut doesn't necessarily set the initial
hostname correctly.
According to dhcp-options(5), the name may or may not be qualified with
the local domain. It goes on to say "it is preferable to use the
domain-name option to specify the domain name".
So dhclient-script needs to be able to handle the cases: a) where
host-name is fully qualified and domain name is also specified; b)
where hostname is fully qualified and the domain is not separately
specified; c) where host-name is "short" and domain-name is also
specified; and d) do its best where host-name is short but domain-name
is not specified.
The dhclient-script in initramfs does not handle case "c", apparently
the preferred situation properly, setting hostname to "short".

While the documentation states that ifname MAC addresses must be
lower case, we silently accept upper case ones and fail later on
when udev doesn't rename the device.
Instead of adding sanity checking on the MAC address just convert
it to lower case and remove the requirement completely.
Unlike "ifconfig", the "ip" command does not set a broadcast address
unless explicitly requested.
add "brd +" to make "ip" calculate the broadcast address on the fly
This patch replaces:
- {var}>... redirections with functionally identical eval construct +
explicit FDs
- ^^ and ,, case modifiers with temporary shopt
This allows us to lower minimum required bash version
to at least 3.1 (with current code).

Filtering modules requires enough work that instmods() in the
next pipeline stage was rarely busy. Parallelize the two
filters which do the most work. Also fix a filename-vs-contents
mistake in net_module_filter.

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Parallelize block_module_filter
Use bash "[[ string =~ pattern ]]" instead of "egrep -q".
Replace control-dominated serial fondling
for var in $(proc1); do proc2 var; done
with data-dominated parallel pipeline
proc1 | while read var; do proc2 var; done
Together this is a large savings.
[harald@redhat.com: fixed network kernel module filter]
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.
