4. Technical Description
4.1. Details:
This project aims to enable SMF to provide better
infra-structure for networking configuration tools.
This project is seeking minor binding.
This project introduces a new type in libscf, SCF_TYPE_NET_ADDR,
for generic address types. This case also propses to change the
SCF base type for SCF_TYPE_NET_ADDR_V4 and SCF_TYPE_NET_ADDR_V6.
Currently, their base type is SCF_TYPE_HOST and we are proposing
it to be a generic SCF_TYPE_NET_ADDR. The base type for
SCF_TYPE_NET_ADDR will be SCF_TYPE_HOST.
These changes can only be incompatible if someone is using
scf_type_base_type(3SCF) on either SCF_TYPE_NET_ADDR_V4 or
SCF_TYPE_NET_ADDR_V6 and checking that it returns SCF_TYPE_HOST.
In ON the only consumer of scf_type_base_type(3SCF) is SMF and
it is used in a loop to make sure the final base type is
SCF_TYPE_ASTRING.
The SMF team thinks it is highly unlikely that there is a
consumer of that interface outside ON that will break because of
this.
Additionally, this project will also implement checks to enforce
the values of type SCF_TYPE_NET_ADDR, SCF_TYPE_NET_ADDR_V4 and
SCF_TYPE_NET_ADDR_V6 are valid representations of addresses.
4.2. Bug/RFE Number(s):
6934227 SMF should validate net_address_v4 amd net_address_v6
property types
6934233 A generic net_address SMF property type would be useful
4.5. Interfaces:
New libscf type and base types: see manpage diffs
Imported interfaces:
inet_pton(3SOCKET) from libnsl.so.1
