浅谈OpenWRT的netifd和ubus

1、netifd简介

1.1 netifd简介

  OpenWRT为网络接口管理和配置创建了一个单独的项目——netifd。不同于其他发行版上针对同样问题领域采用的方案，netifd的目标是更适合在嵌入式家庭网关上使用，因此也具有一些特点。

1.2 netifd包含下面这些组件

程序
组件
Shell脚本/sbin/ifup,/sbin/ifdown,/sbin/ifstatus,/sbin/devstatus
init.d脚本/etc/init.d/network
hotplug2脚本/etc/hotplug.d/iface/00-netstate, /etc/hotplug.d/iface/10-sysctl
udhcpc脚本/usr/share/udhcpc/default.script
netifd守护进程/sbin/netifd

1.3 netifd组件分析

下面对这些组件，逐一进行分析，希望以此来理解netifd的基本工作机制。

1.3.1 ifup和ifdown脚本

  ifup和ifdown脚本都被存放在/sbin目录下，ifdown实际上是指向ifup的符号链接。所以，这两个脚本实际上是同一个脚本文件。查看过程如下所示：

root@OpenWrt:~# ls -l /sbin/ifup
-rwxrwxr-x    1 root     root          1286 Sep  1 09:27 /sbin/ifup
root@OpenWrt:~# 
root@OpenWrt:~# ls -l /sbin/ifdown 
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             4 Sep  1 09:27 /sbin/ifdown -> ifup
root@OpenWrt:~#

  ifup和ifdown的语法格式如下所示：

ifup [-a] [-w] <interface>
ifdown  [-a] [-w] <interface>

下面是对ifup/ifdown命令选项的简介。

选项作用
-a对所有接口均执行相同的操作，此时interface被忽略.此参数默认为false
-w是否执行wifi up操作。如果此参数被指定，则wifi up操作不会被执行。如果未指定，则在ifup的时候，wifi up会被执行
interface指定down/up操作的目标接口

  ifup的脚本里面，关于wifi的操作是通过/sbin/wifi这个脚本来执行的，所以在这里暂时不讨论。关于普通的ifdown或ifup操作，这个脚本都是通过ubus命令来实现的。在/sbin/ifup脚本中定义了一个if_call()函数，具体如下所示:

if_call()
{
        local interface="$1"
        for mode in $modes; do
                ubus call network.interface $mode "{ \"interface\" : \"$interface\" }"
        done
}

  可以看到这个函数有一个名为interface的参数，然后还使用了一个全局参数。而参数modes则被定义在ifup脚本里面，具体如下所示：

case "$0" in
        *ifdown) modes=down;;
        *ifup)
                modes="down up"
                setup_wifi=1
        ;;
        *) echo "Invalid command: $0";;
esac

所以，当执行ifdown lan命令时，对应的ubus命令为”ubus call network.interface.lan down。执行ifup lan命令时，对应的ubus命令就有两条。先执行ubus call network.interface.lan down命令，然后再执行ubus call network.interface.lan up命令。

2、ubus和ubusd简介

  OpenWRT提供了一个ubus系统，它类似于桌面Linux系统中的dbus。主要目的也是提供系统级的IPC和RPC。ubus在设计理念上与dbus基本保持一致，区别在于简化的API和简练的模型，以适应于嵌入式路由器的特殊环境。

2.1 ubus的组件

  OpenWRT的ubus组主要由ubus和ubus组成，具体见下表。

组件
作用
ubusd这个是ubus系统的后台进程，负责注册unix domain socket，分派ubus消息和事件等。
ubus这是一个CLI utility，可以通过它访问ubus系统。
ubus的各个应用程序这些应用程序可以在ubus系统中注册RPC接口，提供相应的服务。而其他程序可以通过使用这些接口来访问这些服务。

  ubus的帮助信息如下所示：

Usage: ubus [<options>] <command> [arguments...]
Options:
 -s <socket>:           Set the unix domain socket to connect to
 -t <timeout>:          Set the timeout (in seconds) for a command to complete
 -S:                    Use simplified output (for scripts)
 -v:                    More verbose output
 -m <type>:             (for monitor): include a specific message type
                        (can be used more than once)
 -M <r|t>               (for monitor): only capture received or transmitted traffic

Commands:
 - list [<path>]                        List objects
 - call <path> <method> [<message>]     Call an object method
 - subscribe <path> [<path>...] Subscribe to object(s) notifications
 - listen [<path>...]                   Listen for events
 - send <type> [<message>]              Send an event
 - wait_for <object> [<object>...]      Wait for multiple objects to appear on ubus
 - monitor                              Monitor ubus traffic

  ubus提供了6种子命令，其中常用的子命令有4种，分别为list、call、listen以及send。通过使用这四种子命令，我们就可以轻松的访问注册到ubus系统中的服务了。

2.2 netifd的ubus RPC接口

  每个对象所提供的RPC接口名称以及接口的参数类型都可以通过ubus得到。

2.3 netifd interface RPC

在2021-07-26-440eb064版本的netifd源码的ubus.c文件中为每个接口对象注册了一组相同的方法(或者说函数，不过习惯上称之为方法)，如下所示：

static struct ubus_method iface_object_methods[] = {
    { .name = "up", .handler = netifd_handle_up },
    { .name = "down", .handler = netifd_handle_down },
    { .name = "renew", .handler = netifd_handle_renew },
    { .name = "status", .handler = netifd_handle_status },
    { .name = "prepare", .handler = netifd_handle_iface_prepare },
    { .name = "dump", .handler = netifd_handle_dump },
    UBUS_METHOD("add_device", netifd_iface_handle_device, dev_link_policy ),
    UBUS_METHOD("remove_device", netifd_iface_handle_device, dev_link_policy ),
    { .name = "notify_proto", .handler = netifd_iface_notify_proto },
    { .name = "remove", .handler = netifd_iface_remove },
    { .name = "set_data", .handler = netifd_handle_set_data },
};

可以发现，netifd中还有一个叫protocol handler的概念。也就是对不同的interface protocol，可以提供不同的handler，来响应各种可能的事件。static类型的protocol被内置在netifd中，而dhcp和pppoe等类型的协议，则以Shell Script的形式提供。

2.4 netifd protocol handler插件

  netifd的protocol handler插件位于/lib/netifd/proto/目录下，名称统一为*.sh。
