Updates the spec and plugins to return an array of interfaces and IP details
to the runtime including:
- interface names and MAC addresses configured by the plugin
- whether the interfaces are sandboxed (container/VM) or host (bridge, veth, etc)
- multiple IP addresses configured by IPAM and which interface they
have been assigned to
Returning interface details is useful for runtimes, as well as allowing
more flexible chaining of CNI plugins themselves. For example, some
meta plugins may need to know the host-side interface to be able to
apply firewall or traffic shaping rules to the container.
Using a new ".configlist" file format that allows specifying
a list of CNI network configurations to run, add new libcni
helper functions to call each plugin in the list, injecting
the overall name, CNI version, and previous plugin's Result
structure into the configuration of the next plugin.
highlights:
- NetConf struct finally includes cniVersion field
- improve test coverage of current version report behavior
- godoc a few key functions
- allow tests to control version list reported by no-op plugin
Allow strings to be unmarshalled for CNI_ARGS
CNI_ARGS uses types.LoadArgs to populate a struct.
The fields in the struct must meet the TextUnmarshaler interface.
This code adds a UnmarshallableString type to assist with this.
This commit adds a struct type CommonArgs that is to be embedded in
every plugin's argument struct. It contains a field named
"IgnoreUnknown" which will be parsed as a boolean and can be provided to
ignore unknown arguments passed to the plugin.
appc/cni#76 added a "dns" field in the result JSON. But before this
patch, the plugins had no way of knowing which name server to return.
There could be two ways of knowing which name server to return:
1. add it as an extra argument ("CNI_ARGS")
2. add it in the network configuration as a convenience (received via
stdin)
I chose the second way because it is easier. In the case of rkt, it
means the user could just add the DNS name servers in
/etc/rkt/net.d/mynetwork.conf.
This takes some of the machinery from CNI and from the rkt networking
code, and turns it into a library that can be linked into go apps.
Included is an example command-line application that uses the library,
called `cnitool`.
Other headline changes:
* Plugin exec'ing is factored out
The motivation here is to factor out the protocol for invoking
plugins. To that end, a generalisation of the code from api.go and
pkg/plugin/ipam.go goes into pkg/invoke/exec.go.
* Move argument-handling and conf-loading into public API
The fact that the arguments get turned into an environment for the
plugin is incidental to the API; so, provide a way of supplying them
as a struct or saying "just use the same arguments as I got" (the
latter is for IPAM plugins).
