net: ipconfig: Don't override command-line hostnames or domains

2021-06-18T08:00:05+00:00

[ Upstream commit b508d5fb69c2211a1b860fc058aafbefc3b3c3cd ] If the user specifies a hostname or domain name as part of the ip= command-line option, preserve it and don't overwrite it with one supplied by DHCP/BOOTP. For instance, ip=::::myhostname::dhcp will use "myhostname" rather than ignoring and overwriting it. Fix the comment on ic_bootp_string that suggests it only copies a string "if not already set"; it doesn't have any such logic. Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett Signed-off-by: David S.

net: ipconfig: Avoid spurious blank lines in boot log

2020-12-26T15:02:38+00:00

commit c9f64d1fc101c64ea2be1b2e562b4395127befc9 upstream. When dumping the name and NTP servers advertised by DHCP, a blank line is emitted if either of the lists is empty. This can lead to confusing issues such as the blank line getting flagged as warning. This happens because the blank line is the result of pr_cont("\n") and that may see its level corrupted by some other driver concurrently writing to the console. Fix this by making sure that the terminating newline is only emitted if at least one entry in the lists was printed before.

net: ipconfig: Wait for deferred device probes

2019-11-20T20:39:53+00:00

If network device drives are using deferred probing, it was possible that waiting for devices to show up in ipconfig was already over, when the device eventually showed up. By calling wait_for_device_probe() we now make sure deferred probing is done before checking for available devices. Signed-off-by: Thomas Bogendoerfer Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipconfig: Handle CONFIG_CIFS_ROOT option

The experimental root file system support in cifs.ko relies on ipconfig to set up the network stack and then accessing the SMB share that contains the rootfs files. Signed-off-by: Paulo Alcantara (SUSE) Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipconfig: add carrier_timeout kernel parameter

2019-02-01T23:24:13+00:00

commit 3fb72f1e6e61 ("ipconfig wait for carrier") added a "wait for carrier" policy, with a fixed worst case maximum wait of two minutes. Now make the wait for carrier timeout configurable on the kernel commandline and use the 120s as the default. The timeout messages introduced with commit 5e404cd65860 ("ipconfig: add informative timeout messages while waiting for carrier") are done in a fixed interval of 20 seconds, just like they were before (240/12).

net: Allow class-e address assignment via ifconfig ioctl

2018-12-14T23:39:31+00:00

While most distributions long ago switched to the iproute2 suite of utilities, which allow class-e (240.0.0.0/4) address assignment, distributions relying on busybox, toybox and other forms of ifconfig cannot assign class-e addresses without this kernel patch. While CIDR has been obsolete for 2 decades, and a survey of all the open source code in the world shows the IN_whatever macros are also obsolete... rather than obsolete CIDR from this ioctl entirely, this patch merely enables class-e assignment, sanely.
