Anaconda used arguments of the form:
ip=<ip> gateway=<gw> netmask=<nm>
for static IP configuration. So if we get a value for "ip" that's an IP
address, look for gateway= and netmask= and related args to fill in the
ip config vars.
rd.neednet could be removed, as we can check /tmp/net.ifaces.
After this patch, kdump can bring up the NIC without
rd.neednet.

This patch adds basic vlan support in network module.
The cmdline syntax for vlan is:
vlan=<vlanname>:<phydevice>
for an example:
vlan=eth0.2:eth0
or
vlan=vlan2:eth0

Another solution could be searching in directories found at
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf or adding a new parameter. Here is a patch
which adds a new --libdirs parameter, and also a new inst_libdir_file
function which will try to expand metacharacters on each lib
directory:
inst_libdir_file "libdevmapper-event-lvm*.so"
For NetworkManager to properly take over a NFS-root system, we need to
have the interface name(s) in /tmp/net.ifaces and save the dhclient
lease. This lets the ifcfg module do its magic.
save_netinfo should properly write out /tmp/net.ifaces when needed, and
copies the dhclient files into place.
This makes sure the network is active and ready to use during the
initqueue/online hook.
It also makes it so you can run setup_net repeatedly without causing
error messages.
The "online" hook runs whenever a network interface comes online (that
is, once it's actually up and configured).
The initqueue --env argument is used to set "$netif" to the name of the
newly-online network interface.
Add new functions: all_ifaces_up, get_netroot_ip, ip_is_local, ifdown,
setup_net, set_ifname, ibft_to_cmdline
Use them in netroot.sh and parse-ip-opts.sh.
There's also a couple little unrelated cleanups.
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.

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

[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.
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
The manpage for dhclient-script says:
Before actually configuring the address, dhclient-script should
somehow ARP for it and exit with a nonzero status if it receives a
reply.
By using arping in dracut this is very easy, since arping has a
specific option to do just that.
This patch adds STP timeout error handling with arping. It's rather
simple since it only cares about the primary interface and blindly
assumes that if no gateway is available the root server is on the
same subnet.
The usual approach to setting mtus is to set the interface down,
set the mtu then set the interface back up again. Modern hardware
and/or drivers may support setting this on the fly, so we try
this and fall back to the old behaviour it it doesn't work.
In addition this patch only allows mtus greater than 576, this is
taken from debian/ubuntu dhclient-script.
ifname=<interface>:<MAC>
Assign network device name <interface> (ie eth0) to the NIC
with MAC <MAC>.
Note that if you use this option you *must* specify an ifname=
argument for all interfaces used in ip= or fcoe= arguments
ifname=<interface>:<MAC>
Assign network device name <interface> (ie eth0) to the NIC with MAC <MAC>.
Note that if you use this option you *must* specify an ifname= argument

This introduces filter_kernel_modules, which should be used to install
all kernel modules that match whatever criteria you want.
If running in --hostonly, filter_kernel_modules will only consider
modules that are loaded in the kernel, otherwise it will consider
all the modules installed on the system for the appropriate kernel.
This drastically reduces initramfs generation time when using --hostonly
by eliminating lots of unneeded filesystem activity.
--kernel-only
only install kernel drivers and firmware files
--no-kernel
do not install kernel drivers and firmware files
All kernel module related install commands moved from "install"
to "installkernel".
For "--kernel-only" all installkernel scripts of the specified
modules are used, regardless of any checks, so that all modules
which might be needed by any dracut generic image are in.
The basic idea is to create two images. One image with the kernel
modules and one without. So if the kernel changes, you only have
to replace one image.
Grub and the kernel can handle multiple images, so grub entry can
look like this:
title Fedora (2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586 ro rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-20090722.img
initrd /initrd-kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img
initrd /initrd-config.img
initrd-20090722.img
the image provided by the initrd rpm
one old backup version is kept like with the kernel
initrd-kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img
the image provided by the kernel rpm
initrd-config.img
optional image with local configuration files
* SYNTAX
bridge=<bridgename>:<ethname>
If bridge without parameters, assume bridge=br0:eth0
* When <ethname> would be configured by network scripts, instead create a bridge named <bridgename> then add <ethname> to that bridge.
* Then $netif becomes <bridgename> instead of <ethname> and all existing scripts process netroot mount via this new $netif instead of <ethname>.
* Include a few test cases in NFS and NBD
Udev rules set a /dev/root symlink to the real root and add
a mount script to /mount/. This enables the proper use of pre-mount
scripts and prevents mount being killed by a udev timeout.
Jobs are no longer handled inside the udev events.
/sbin/initqueue is called with the commands to queue.
init will work on these jobs sequentially, so that we prevent jobs
from being killed by udev timeouts.
This serialization also prevents some problems introduced by
the udev event parallelization.
The Bug causing dhclient to recall BIND has been identified:
dhclient-script runs with #!/bin/sh -e, causing setup_interface
to fail if no hostname is provided by dhcp as it is the last statement
in that function.
This introduces a new cmdline argument bootdev, to support the case
where multiple nics need to be up before the netroot handler is called.
Cases involved might be bonding, iscsi multipathing, bonding, ...
This argument is required to decide which interface is the primary to
use for dhcp root-path, default gw, etc.
When multiple ip= items are present on the cmdline, the ip= parser
now enforces the presence of <dev> further demands that the new argument
bootdev contains the name of the primary interface. Configurtion if of
course still delegated to netroot but in is enhance to ensure that netroot
"waits" for all required interfaces to be up.
Example: root=dhcp ip=eth0:dhcp ip=client-ip:::netmask::eth1:off bootdev=eth0
First, the ip= cmdline parser ensures that all ip items contain a <dev> then
checks the ip items and checks as well that an ip= item for the given bootdev
was found.
When the first netroot starts, probably for eth1, it checks wheter interface
configuration for all interfaces is available. If not it exits. The second
start of netroot (eth0, which was a bit delayed because of dhcp) sees that
all interfaces are present, configures them and continues.
Instead of configuring devices when they are ready, ifup and
dhclient-script write script files which are then sourced by
netroot.
This solves the problem of having multiple interfaces and not knowing
which one to use for dhcp or default route. This way, netroot (which
is serialized anyway) configures the interface before calling the root
handler and deconfigures it if the handler failed.
Example: root=nfs:server:path and ip=dhcp with eth0 and eth1 receiving
a dhcp reply, but eth0 is the correct one to use.
Assuming eth1 is the first to receive the dhcp-reply, netroot starts
and configures eth1. nfsroot is run but fails, so eth1 is deconfigured. If
eth0 has received a dhcp-reply (or not, then we wait) the other locked
netroot process starts and tries with eth0 and succeeds.
Currently network configuration is launched by udev as soon as it
discovers a driver. This isn't such a good idea since we don't know
if network configuration is actually required. Change this by writing
the udev rules on the fly if required.
As with other netroot boot arguments ip= lines should be parsed and
checked. Having this has the advantage that other cmdline scripts
can tell the ip= parser if dhcp or ip=:srv:... is needed, like
parse-root.sh (renamed dhcp-fallback) or parse-nfsroot do.
The nfs test-suite has one check which uses static ip lines, but
the autoconf param is wrong. Fixed this as well.
This introduces detailed cmdline parsing, warning or aborting if the
cmdline does not contain arguments according to the spec.
Makeing sure the parsers don't just call getarg for netroot et al,
allows their reuse inside netroot to analyse dhcp root-path as well.
Hence we can get rid of the current netroot hooks. The hook itself stays
in order to add further modules which should run before netroot handlers
are called.
This has one drawback: nfsroot needs some more logic to handle nfs
specific data inside dhcp root-path.
The parsers have been writting according to current discussions about
cmdline arguments. This lead to the "discovery" that some test-cases
violate the spec. These tests have not been removed, but change to
"must fail".
Multiline conditionals ( && { ... } ) should use if, function
declarations go to the top of the file, add/update comments and remove
some unnecessary clutter.
Saveing ip= options in ifup makes the information available for
later use. This solves the problem how to write static ip configuration
in ifcfg files.
This is mostly about style: Doing stuff after a successful mount
should go into pre-pivot.
In addition this corrects the case where the used netif is not eth0
base/init uses [ -d "$NEWROOT/proc" ] to check if root is mounted
or not. Netroot should do the same. In addition this gets rid of
another file in /tmp, since /tmp/netroot.done isn't needed anymore.
Having two files which are used more or less at the same time isn't
that easy to handle and read. Instead, move the contents of netroot.info
to root.info and only use root.info. This is cleaner and makes debugging
easier.
This adds support for a command line option netroot=, which is currently
equivalent to root=. This will allow us to break out handling in NBD and
iSCSI to support constructs such as "root=LABEL=/ netroot=dhcp" to make
use of our block device handling with network attached devices.
iSCSI has not been changed in this patch as I don't currently have a way
to test it.
/sbin/netroot is a jumping off point to allow various network
root devices to share infrastructure. It will loop over scriptlets
in the netroot handler, looking for a handler to run for this type
of netroot. Handlers can do choose to act based on command line
options to the kernel, or via DHCP options received on this interface.
They should massage root= into a form suitable for their handler.
This changes the network config to run dhclient from within udev, and
allows multiple dhclients to run at once. It also sets the hostname and
adds a kernel command line option 'netdebug' to help debug network issues.
All modules now live in a subdirectory /modules.d. Each module is
self-contained -- it should contain everything that it will install
on the initrd. All modules must include a script named install, which
will be sourced by dracut. This script should do the actual file installation
using inst methods. The moddir variable will point to the full path to the
module dracut is currently working on.
As usual, this patch series applies on top of my previous patch series,
and is available as normalize-modules from http://git.fnordovax.org/dracut.
