8ad5c76784 addons: vrf: special handling for vrf slaves configured for dhcp
Ticket: CM-9868
Reviewed By: dsa, nikhil, julien
Testing Done: tested with vrf slaves with dhcp

Problem:
since vrf slaves are brought up before master, When vrf slaves are
configured for dhcp, the dhclient hook for vrf runs before the master is
up. This was seen with management vrf.
This solution is special logic to handle vrf slaves with
dhcp in the vrf addon module.

currently only supports interface declared with dhcp and
indicated as vrf slave. as in example below (dhcp and vrf must be in the
same iface stanza):

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
        vrf mgmt

changes to vrf module:
- make vrf module methods accept the ifaceobj lookup function, which is
already passed as argument to all methods from ifupdown scheduler
- during vrf slave bringup,
        - if master does not exist and slave's address_method is dhcp
        - lookup master object, and bring up the vrf master
        - mark this master as processed so that the next time this vrf
          module sees master it knows that it is already processed
          (this is covered by the vrfPrivFlags)

5d0f83e36e Set vlan-filtering on bridge before adding bridge ports
Ticket: CM-6806
Reviewed By: CCR-4126
Testing Done:

Currently, when doing ifup of a bridge, the bridge is created
and ports are added to bridge before vlan_filtering is set on
the bridge. This causes extra churn on switchd which has to
configure the hardware one way and then tear it down and
reconfigure it again in the new way. For mlx, it causes even
more problems.

This patch moves the vlan_filtering setting of bridge to before
member ports are being added to the bridge, and it uses the new
iproute2 command for setting the attribute instead of through
sysfs.

Testing Done: tested with user's config on amd64 platform

When setting mstpctl params from user given fdelay and maxage,
ifreload and ifup is setting maxage before fdelay.

Since there is a check for (Bridge Foward Delay - 1 second) >= Bridge Max Age
fdelay must be set before maxage because the fdelay is a default value.

a0a8d7e094 ifupdown2: Modify implementation of nowait option
Ticket: None
Reviewed By: CCR-4058
Testing Done: ifup'd interface with both dhcp-wait: "no" and dhcp-wait: "yes"
and not specified at all.

A previous patch implemented the nowait option for DHCP. This patch changes the
name of the option to "dhcp-wait" and makes the default, if nothing is specified
in the policy files, to be "yes", which means dhclient will be called without
the "-nw" option, causing it to wait for up to a minute for a response from the
DHCP server before continuing.

The format of the JSON in the policy file for this option was also changed so
that it conforms to the other ifupdown2 policy options. This format is now:

{
    "dhcp": {
        "defaults": { "dhcp-wait": "no" }
    }
}

Also, the documented argument values are "yes" and "no". Any other values, will
be interpreted as "yes".

A subsequent patch in cl-basefiles will be made to include this fragment in
/var/lib/ifupdown2/policy.d/dhcp.json so that Cumulus Linux will default to
not waiting for DHCP to complete.

6d359159c3 ifupdown2: Add nowait attribute for dhcp addon
Ticket: None
Reviewed By: CCR-4058
Testing Done: ifup'd interface with both nowait=0 and nowait=1 and not specified
at all.

The Mellanox platform, as well as some others probably, has two management
interfaces: eth0 and eth1. The customer may plug a cable into either one of
these interfaces, and very rarely both of them. If only one cable is plugged in
and we don't know which one, then /etc/network/interfaces must be configured
by default to automatically bring up both interfaces using DHCP. But when an
interface does not have link, it stalls the boot process for 60 seconds while
dhclient times out.

This patch changes the default dhclient behavior to not wait for DHCP to
complete, by using the "-nw" option when calling dhclient. This means that
dhclient will immediately return and DHCP will complete in the background.

A module attribute has been added for the DHCP addon called "nowait", which
defaults to 1. If this attribute is set to 0, then dhclient will revert to its
previous behavior and delay up to a minute while DHCP completes. This attribute
can be specified in a policy file, e.g. /etc/network/ifupdown2/policy.d/dhcp.json,
with contents such as:

{
  "dhcp" :
  {
    "nowait" : 0
  }
}

8465de9077 addons: support for new addon module for vrf
This patch adds initial support for vrf in ifupdown2.

Example interfaces file section:
auto swp1.100
iface swp1.100
    vrf blue

auto blue
iface blue
    vrf-table 10

iproute2 vrf map is generated under:
/etc/iproute2/rt_tables.d/ifupdown2.vrf_map

this patch also adds prelimnary support for 'vrf-table auto'.
But this needs more work.
