[OE-core] [PATCH] systemd: Fix interface bring-up on kernels >= 5.2

Tue Jul 9 08:43:34 UTC 2019


With kernels >=5.2  systemd-networkd is unable to bring up the link.

eth0: Could not bring up interface: Invalid argument

This is already reported upstream and fixed on master:

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/12784

They recommend Debian to backport two patches.

+Subject: [PATCH] networkd: fix link_up() (#12505)
+
+Fillup IFLA_INET6_ADDR_GEN_MODE while we do link_up.
+
+Fixes the following error:
+```
+dummy-test: Could not bring up interface: Invalid argument
+```
+
+After reading the kernel code when we do a link up
+```
+net/core/rtnetlink.c
+IFLA_AF_SPEC
+ af_ops->set_link_af(dev, af);
+  inet6_set_link_af
+   if (tb[IFLA_INET6_ADDR_GEN_MODE])
+             Here it looks for IFLA_INET6_ADDR_GEN_MODE
+```
+Since link up we didn't filling up that it's failing.
+
+Closes #12504.

+Subject: [PATCH] network: do not send ipv6 token to kernel
+
+We disabled kernel RA support. Then, we should not send
+IFLA_INET6_TOKEN.
+Thus, we do not need to send IFLA_INET6_ADDR_GEN_MODE twice.
+
+Follow-up for 0e2fdb83bb5e22047e0c7cc058b415d0e93f02cf and
