alfred: Start up alfred without valid interfaces

2021-02-15T20:17:53Z

The alfred server always needs interfaces to operate on. But these interfaces might not exist at the moment when the daemon process is started. This situation stopped the startup process after the init scripts waited for a longer period of polling the system state. But alfred is able to deal with interfaces which disappeared at runtime but existed at startup. To force a similar behavior for the alfred startup, the parameter "--force" or "-f" is used. The extra polling code is therefore no longer needed in the init scripts. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann

alfred: Fix procd process handling for disable state

2021-02-15T20:03:57Z

Alfred can be stopped during a (re)start or reload when: * disabled = 1 * batman-adv interface is missing * MAC based EUI64 IPv6 link-local address not set It is assumed that procd detects that the procd instance definition disappeared and the currently running instance must be stopped. But all these checks were triggering an "exit" which then stopped the alfred init script and the wrapper from /lib/functions/procd.sh. And thus procd was never informed about the instances which should be changed. The correct handling is to return the result of the function instead of directly killing the init scripts.

alfred: Allow startup without batman-adv sysfs support

2019-08-01T19:35:39Z

The batman-adv kernel module can be build without sysfs support. This will stop the kernel module from creating the "mesh" directory. The alfred init script must not depend on this folder to start the daemon up. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann

alfred: Support multiple listening interfaces

2019-08-01T19:34:44Z

The alfred daemon allows to be started with multiple interfaces. The first interface is used for communication and to calculate the source mac address. The rest of the interfaces are only used for communication. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann

alfred: Fix alfred.init

2018-07-21T14:00:20Z

The commit 45db0e6 introduced curly brackets which are not correct syntax and thus broke the script. Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler

alfred: Support interface IDs with more than two digits

2018-04-09T10:11:12Z

Occationally /proc/net/if_inet6 contains interface IDs with three digits. In this case, the regex in wait_for_ll_address() does not work anymore and alfred is not starting. This patch changes the evaluation so that fields are used instead of the mere position by counting characters. Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler

alfred: not only wait for the interface, but also a link-local address

2015-08-09T16:15:27Z

Changes between alfred 2015.0 and 2015.1 cause alfred to print an error and exit when the interface to bind to is not completely set up (has no non-tentative link-local address). As a workaround, wait for such an address by reading /proc/net/if_inet6 before alfred is started. In the long term, it would be nice to make alfred more robust against missing interfaces (allowing alfred to start without the interface existing, and keeping it working even when the interface is removed and re-added while alfred is running).
