Re: [PATCH] config hook: prevent two hooks with the same settings

Hi,

I think I might have an other idea, but I am not sure if it does not have many flaws. So here it is as RFC:

If we would implement a function called hook_hash() that returns something that is unique to that hook. If a second instance of a hook gets the same hash, we have a conflict.

That would allow us to check for conflicts across multiple variables, since this approach is hook-agnostic. That would make this very fast. As a default we could just check for all SETTINGS variables. For ipv4- static for example, we would return a string like "ipv4-static- ${ADDRESS}".

A downside is, that we kind of don't know where the conflict was which could lead to some senseless error messages. But we might be able to catch that in the hook that has just been called.

What do you think of that approach?

Best, -Michael

A ipv4-static config with the same IPv4 address twice is senseless. A new function zone_config_check_same_setting is introduced. The function provides an easy way to check if a config of the given hook has the same value for a given key. We can now check inside hook_new if an ipv4-static or ipv6-static config with the same value exist and break with an error.

Fixes: #11418
