The ICMP-Echo-server functionality of the router has the following
configuration attributes (default values shown):
! <config icmp_echo_server="yes">
! <domain icmp_echo_server="yes" ... />
! </config>
The icmp_echo_server attribute configures whether the router answers ICMP Echo
requests that address the router. The <config> value affects all domains
without a <domain> local value.
Issue #2874
When a domain is updated to a new component config, the two criteria for
keeping an ARP waiting state of a remote domain are whether the remote
domain still exists and whether its IP config is still the same. This
means that a domain must also dissolve all of its remote ARP waiting
states if its IP config changes (without an update of the component
config). This wasn't the case until now.
Issue #2840
The chroot server was conceived to automatically place File_system
sessions into segregated root directories by converting session labels
to paths. If multiple children needed to be grouped under the same path,
a 'merge' policy would truncate the session label before path conversion.
Now that init can rewrite session labels and thus reproduce truncation,
the chroot merge feature is redundant and can be removed.
Fix#2846
Removed the modified mark from handles that have been written to when
they are synced, otherwise a notification would be sent again when the
handle is closed.
Ref #2839
* Do not log events that are not critical (deadly) to the NIC router if not
configured to be verbose,
* Print almost all log lines with a prefix of the domain name they are
related to,
* And, do not use Genode::error and Genode::warning as they make it hard to
read the log with the domain name prefixes.
Fixes#2840
Introduce the uplink tag:
! <config>
! <uplink label="wifi" domain="uplink">
! <uplink label="wired" domain="wired_bridge">
! <uplink domain="wired_bridge">
! <config/>
For each uplink tag, the NIC router requests a NIC session with the
corresponding label or an empty label if there is no label attribute.
These NIC sessions get attached to the domain that is set in their
uplink tag as soon as the domain appears. This means their lifetime is
not bound to the domain. Uplink NIC sessions can be safely moved from
one domain to another without being closed by reconfiguring the
corresponding domain attribute.
Attention: This may render previously valid NIC router configurations
useless. A domain named "uplink" doesn't automatically request a NIC
session anymore. To fix these configurations, just add
! <uplink domain="uplink"/>
or
! <uplink label="[LABEL]" domain="uplink"/>
as direct subtag of the <config> tag.
Issue #2840
The term was used for the old configuration during the handling of a new
configuration but in other places it was already called old_config.
Issue #2840
Dissolve and destroy the invalid domain first before deinitializing all
domains for the next round. This way, the deinitialization is not done twice
for the invalid domain.
Issue #2840
Due to a bug in the deinitialization of the DHCP server of a domain (the
reference to the destroyed object was not cleared), the NIC router could
end up in a page fault caused by a double-free at the heap. This also fixes
the previously missing dissolving of the "DNS-server-from" relation to a
remote domain.
Issue #2840
* Catch Quota_guard exceptions wherever we do 'new (_alloc)' in Interface
and in case drop the packet that caused the exception
* Modify Interface::handle_config_2 to not use the guarded allocator of the
NIC session quota as we cannot handle a RAM exhaustion well at this point
in time. Instead use a Constructible member in Interface so that a needed
RAM adds up to the calculation in the create_session implementation where
an exhaustion is handled via a service denial.
Issue #2857
The interface destructor called pure virtual methods at least when
cancelling ARP- waiting states. The implementations were made by the
deriving classes Session_component respectively Uplink. This led to an
abort of the NIC router as the destruction of the derived class was
already done. A similar problem already occured in the past during the
construction of Interface and was back then solved by introducing a
separate init() method. This commit, however, solved the problem by
making Interface a member of the other classes. Therefore, the init()
method could be removed again. Furthermore, the interface polica could be
moved from Session_component_base to Session_component. The commit also
had to generalize the way the link state of an interface is determined.
Fixes#2856
Previously we were doing the initialization once over all domains,
remembered which of them became invalid and destroyed those afterwards.
This isn't sufficient. As soon as one domain becomes invalid we have to
dissolve/destroy this one, deinitialize all other domains again (as they
could contain references to the invalid domain) and retry to initialize
them from the beginning. We proceed with this until we have one run
without a domain becoming invalid. Then we can be sure that the last
initialization run did not create references to any invalid domain.
Issue #2840
The generic helper Avl_string_tree of the NIC router is currently only
used for finding domains via their names, but in the future it can be
used for finding uplinks by their labels also. Additionally, it enables
us to throw an exception when inserting two elements with the same
identifier.
Issue #2840
* Get rid of the base classes Rule and Leaf_rule,
* Make log output about initiated or invalid routing rules conform to the rest
of the router log, and
* Ensure that each type of routing rule when being invalid invalidates its
whole domain.
Issue #2840
The condition was too rigid. In the case where no motion occurred in
between the press and release events of the magic button, the delayed
press event would not be delivered. This - in turn - confused other
components (like nitpicker) down the input chain.
Do not send nor buffer packets at interfaces with link state "down". This
prevents that packets that were routed to one network (allowed to see them),
due to a sudden link down/up, are leaked to another network that is not
allowed to see them.
When updating an interface in the NIC router to a new configuration and
the domain name of the interface has not changed but the domain
disappeared, the NIC router did not detach from the old domain correctly
which led to broken remnants of interface state objects (like connection
states).
Adapt the nic_router_uplinks run script to work with the fix.
fs_report truncated the report file on construction of the report
session to mimic an "empty report". This prevented existing use cases
where the initial state was already written to the file system by other
means.
I doubt that use cases exist where the inital empty-report mimic is
needed and (if I'm wrong) there is still the race of the consumer
reading the file just before the report session is constructed.
Reporters that want to enforce an empty initial report should send it
explicitly.
Clients may wish to act on missing files. In any case the fs_rom
needs to reopen a watch handle when a file is deleted, and this
sort of change to the internal state machine is propelled by
client RPC requests.
Fix#2839
The new 'displays' report contains information about the used
framebuffer backend. It is issued when nitpicker has successfully passed
all initialization, in particular the connection to the framebuffer
driver. Hence, it can be taken as an indicator of whether the framebuffer
is available or not (e.g., caused by a faulty driver).
When re-configuring the NIC router, determine for each domain if at least one
interface stays with the domain. If a domain fullfills this and has a
dynamic IP config (received via a DHCP client), keep the IP config.
To achieve this, the following changes have been made to the existing NIC
router code:
* Split-up Interface::handle_config into three steps:
1) Determine for each interface if its domain can keep its IP config or
or if it has to mark it invalid. This must be done before (re-)attaching
any interface because during "attach" several decisions are made based on
the validity of the IP config of corresponding the domain.
(E.g. whether to participate in sending DHCP DISCOVERs {IP config
invalid} or whether to participate in sending pending ARP REQUESTs
{IP config valid} ).
2) Detach, attach, or re-attach each interface according to the
configuration. This must be done before re-considering the temporary
state objects of each interface because the latter might have effects
on the interfaces of remote domains which must then be in place already.
3) Re-consider temporary state objects of each interface. (E.g. transport
layer connection states)
* Re-work IP-config setter in a way that it works as follows:
1) If the old IP config is valid, let all local interfaces as well as remote
interfaces that depend on the IP config of the domain detach from the old
IP config.
2) Overwrite with new IP config
3) If the new IP config is valid, let all local interfaces as well as remote
interfaces that depend on the IP config of the domain attach to the new
IP config.
Issue #2815
The new attribute config.domain.label has effect only at the uplink
domain-tag. It determines which label the NIC router shall use when
requesting the NIC session for the uplink domain. If value of this
attribute changes at the uplink domain-tag, the NIC router closes and
re-requests the NIC session of the uplink with the new label.
Issue #2815
The Ethernet destination MAC address of a DHCP reply is not the same as the
DHCP client MAC address. The DHCP server of the NIC router did not take care
of this by now.
Issue #2837
Merge the 'Packet_handle' into the 'Rom_root' and use an Id_space to
match File_system handles to session objects rather than a list. This
avoids the need to override 'Root_component::_destroy_session'.
Fix#2833
The 'View_stack::draw_rec' method limited the redraw to parts of the
view that were explicitly marked as dirty. This does not produce the
desired result when stacking multiple transparent views. Here, the
background views must be drawn regardless of whether they are marked as
dirty or not.
The file may also be changed by other components, so a open-close cycle
for write() is more robust. For example, Vim removes the original file
and recreates with the new content.
The '_active_mode' must not be changed at any time except when the
client asks for the 'Framebuffer::mode'. Otherwise, the dimensions of
dataspace used by the client is not always consistent with the mode
information as gathered by the client.
Normally, the NIC sessions are independent from the domain tags.
However, by now the uplink session, in contrast to the sessions of the
other domains, is still not a server but a client. This means that only
the NIC router itself can decide when to open and close uplink sessions
and how many. Thus, with this commit, we break with the pattern that
session lifetime is independent from domains by letting the NIC router
create the uplink session when the uplink domain appears and close the
session when the domain disappears.
Fixes#2795
Since the router MAC is allocated like the donwlink MACs it can't happen
anymore that these MACs clash, for instance due to nested routers. Thus,
the range of the MAC allocators of nested routers must not be exclusive
anymore which deprecates the 'mac_first' configuration attribute.
Issue #2795
Allocate a virtual MAC address at runtime that is used as router
Ethernet-identity for all downlink domains. This makes the downlink
domains independent from the uplink session.
Issue #2795
The old MAC allocator had several drawbacks:
* the address base was a public static that could and must have been written
directly from outside the class
* the in-use-flag array was based on unsigned values consuming 4 bytes each
for only one bit of information
* it was a public header that we actually don't want to expose to all
components but only to the few networking components
* it used the not-so-safe bit notation for integer members of GCC
The new version fixes all these drawbacks.
