Without the change test sfails to evaluate as:
$ nix build --no-link -f. nixosTests.keepalived
error:
error: function 'makeTest' called with unexpected argument 'maintainers'
These should be defaults as they're pretty reasonable to want to
override as a user. Unsure how to change the slice defaults to be
overridable, that should probably be a later conversation.
Follow-up to #269551
Avoid creating a new instance of nixpkgs to access two variables.
`pkgs.pkgsi686Linux` was being accessed whenever the feature is being
used or not.
A second instance of nixpkgs is being created in
`nixos/modules/config/stub-ld.nix` and can be disabled by setting
`environment.ldso32 = null` or `environment.stub-ld.enable = false`.
Both combined fixes this error:
error: attribute 'i686-linux' missing
`error` and `warn` have always been valid log levels.
But because the upstream docs never mentioned those, we simply didn't
add them to the enum of our module option.
The upstream docs have been updated and now mention `error` and `warn`
as well.

The Express Data Path (XDP) is a way to circumvent the traditional Linux
networking stack and instead run an eBPF program on your NIC, that makes
the decision to provide Knot with certain packets. This is way faster
and more scalable but comes at the cost of reduced introspection.
Unfortunately the `knotc conf-check` command fails hard with missing
interfaces or IP addresses configured in `xdp.listen`, so we disable it
for now, once the `xdp` config section is set. We also promote the config
check condition to a proper option, so our conditions become public
documentation, and we allow users to deal with corner cases, that we have
not thought of yet.
We follow the pre-requisites documented in the Knot 3.3 manual, and set
up the required capabilities and allow the AF_XDP address family.
But on top of that, due to our strict hardening, we found two more
requirements, that were communicated upstream while debugging this.
- There is a requirement on AF_NETLINK, likely to query for and configure
the relevant network interface
- Running eBPF programs requires access to the `bpf` syscall, which we
deny through the `~@privileged` configuration.
In summary We now conditionally loosen the hardening of the unit once we
detect that an XDP configuration is wanted. And since we cannot
introspect arbitrary files from the `settingsFiles` option, we expose XDP
support through the `enableXDP` toggle option on the module.
