Trying to resolve hosts using localhost errors out for ipv6 attempts:
$ host www.seznam.cz localhost

Using domain server:

Aliases:
www.seznam.cz has address 77.75.77.222
www.seznam.cz has address 77.75.79.222
;; communications error to ::1#53: connection refused
;; communications error to ::1#53: connection refused
www.seznam.cz has IPv6 address 2a02:598:a::79:222
www.seznam.cz has IPv6 address 2a02:598:2::1222
;; communications error to ::1#53: connection refused
;; communications error to ::1#53: connection refused
It's because on some distros (like openSUSE), localhost is defined both
as 127.0.0.1 and ::1.
So listen on ::1 too. This makes ipv4-switchoff easier.
/etc/resolv.conf should likely be updated to contain ::1 eventually too
(see update_dns()).

Using g_file_set_contents() makes it impossible to write a proper
SELinux policy because the function creates a file with a random
suffix, and SELinux file transitions can't match on wildcards.
Use a fixed temporary file name. In this case it's fine because
/run/NetworkManager is only writable by root and NetworkManager is the
only process writing into it.
These lines says things like "changed a bridge", what seems to mean that
NM is doing the change. Actually, these logs indicate changes that NM is
being notified of, and they may even be external changes.
- Add the "monitor:" prefix to show that it's something that NM is
monitoring, not doing.
- Say "bridge changed" instead of "changed a bridge", which sounds an
action that we're doing.
- Print the bridge/port/iface name first, instead of the uuid-like key which
is not useful for a quick look by a human.
- Print `connection=conn-uuid` instead of just `conn-uuid`, as it's not
obvious that the uuid refers to the connection.

If a feature like Wi-Fi, OVS, team, etc. is disabled or no longer
supported, it is better to report an error when the connection is
added via nmcli than accepting the connection and complaining later
about a "missing plugin"; there is no plugin and the connection will
never be able to activate.
Example errors now:
# nmcli connection add type team
Error: Failed to add 'team-nm-team' connection: team support is disabled in this build
# nmcli connection add type gsm
Error: Failed to add 'gsm' connection: WWAN support is disabled in this build
# nmcli connection add type wimax nsp 00:99:88:77:66:55
Error: Failed to add 'wimax' connection: WiMAX is no longer supported
Note that we don't touch libnm-core (the part defining the settings
and properties), as that defines the API of NetworkManager. The API
should not change according to compile flags.
When authenticating via 802.1X, the supplicant must be made aware of
the bridge the interface is attached to. This was already done for
wifi in commit ae31b4bf4e ('wifi: set the BridgeIfname supplicant
property when needed'). When setting the BridgeIfname property, the
supplicant opens an additional socket to listen on the bridge, to
ensure that all incoming EAPOL packets are received.
Without this patch, the initial authentication usually works because
it is started during stage2 (prepare), when the device is not yet
attached to the bridge, but then the re-authentication fails.
Note: I could reproduce the problem only when the bridge is configured
with bridge.group-forward-mask 8.

This property allows the user to optionally configure
an interlink name on a HSR interface, so that it could
serve as RedBox (Redundant Box) by connecting DAN (dual
attachment node) to SAN (single attachment node).
The commit linked below introduced a bug that caused that OVS ports
added externally to NM are always deleted when we delete any OVS
interface. It affects to all externally added ports, including those
that are not related to the deleted interface and even those in
different OVS bridges.
Fix it by only modifying ports and bridges that are ascendants of the
deleted interface, leaving everything else untouched.
Note that bridges and ports still need to have at least one NM-managed
interface, otherwise they will also be purged. For example, an NM-owned
OVS bridge with 2 ports+iface, one NM-owned and one external: if we
delete the NM-owned iface, both ports and the bridge will be deleted.
For now, this is a known limitation that is not being fixed here.

We've had a few rare instances where a modem stopped retrying
to autoconnect because it briefly didn't have an operator code.
This isn't a permanent failure, so we shouldn't abort completely
for it.
This property allows the user to set the protocol
version when using HSR. Currently, the property
supports two values - `2010` (referred to as HSRv0
in the kernel), and `2012` (HSRv1).
We must do different cleanups depending on the CleanupType. Document the
meaning of the different types as it was very confusing to work on new
code without having very clear what do they mean.
The flag is used for both sleeping and networking disabled conditions.
This is because internally they share logic, but it's not obvious for
users and it has caused confusion in the past when investigating why
devices didn't become managed. Make it explicit that it can be because
of either reason.
It would be better to create two separate flags, actually, and it
doesn't seem complex, but better not to risk introducing bugs for that
little benefit.
Logs before:
device (enp4s0): state change: disconnected -> unmanaged (reason 'unmanaged-sleeping' ...
Logs before:
device (enp4s0): state change: disconnected -> unmanaged (reason 'unmanaged-nm-disabled' ...
When we disable networking with `nmcli networking off` the reason that
is logged is "sleeping". Explain instead that networking is disabled.
Before:
device (lo): state change: activated -> deactivating (reason 'sleeping' ...
After:
device (lo): state change: activated -> deactivating (reason 'networking-off' ...
When we do `nmcli networking off` it's shown as state "sleeping". This
is confusing, and the only reason is that we share internally code to
handle both situations in a similar way.
Rename the state to the more generic name "disabled", situation that can
happen either because of sleeping or networking off.
Clients cannot differentiate the exact reason only with the NMState value,
but better that they show "network off" as this is the most common reason
that they will be able to display. If the system is suspending, there will
be only a short period of time that they can show the state, and showing
"network off" is not wrong because that's what NM has done as a response
to suspend.
In the logs, let's make explicit the exact reason why state is changing
to DISABLED: sleeping or networking off.
Logs before:
manager: disable requested (sleeping: no enabled: yes)
manager: NetworkManager state is now ASLEEP
Logs after:
manager: disable requested (sleeping: no enabled: yes)

In some cases it is necessary to set a custom DHCP client-id during
early boot. For example, the firmware of some InfiniBand NIC uses a
48-bit MAC derived from the InfiniBand 20-byte MAC when doing
PXE. NetworkManager doesn't have any knowledge of that 48-bit MAC and
uses the full MAC as client-id, therefore getting a different lease.
Introduce a new option 'rd.net.dhcp.client-id' to specify a custom
client-id.

When reading NetworkManager.conf and NetworkManager-intern.conf we might
need to know if a group is defined or not, even if it's empty. This is
the case, for example, for [global-dns]. If [global-dns] is defined in
NM.conf overwrites the config from NM-intern, and if it's defined in any
of them they overwrite the configs from connections.
Before this patch, defining it as an empty group was ignored:
```
[global-dns]
```
Instead, it was necessary to add at least one key-value to the group.
Otherwise the group was silently ignored.
```
[global-dns]
searches=
```
Keep empty groups so we can take better decissions about overwritting
configs from other sources.
Clients like nmstate needs to know if the [global-dns] section is
defined or not, so they know if DNS configs from connections are
relevant or not. Expose it in D-Bus by always exposing "searches"
and "options" if it's defined, maybe as empty lists.
According to the documentation, settings from [global-dns] (searches and
options) are always merged with those from connections. However this was
not happening if no [global-dns-domain-*] exists, in which case
connections were ignored. This happened because in the past both global
sections must de defined or undefined. When this was changed to allow
defining only [global-dns], allowing it in the function that generates
the resolv.conf file was forgotten. Fix that now.
Anyway, merging these configs doesn't make much sense. The searches and
options defined in connections probably make sense only for the nameservers
defined in that same connection.
Because of this, make the following change: if global nameservers are
defined, use searches and options from [global-dns] only, because those
defined in connections may not make sense for the global nameservers. If
[global-dns] is missing, assume an empty [global-dns] section.
Also, if no global nameservers are defined, but [global-dns] is, make
that it overwrites the searches and options defined in connections. This
is not ideal, but none of the alternatives is better and at least this
is easy to remember.
So, the resulting rules from above are:
- If [global-dns] is defined, it always overwrite searches and options
from connections.
- If [global-dns-domain-*] is defined, it always overwrite nameservers
from connections. It overwrites searches and options too.
Fixes: 1f0d1d78d2 ('dns-manager: always apply options from [global-dns]')
Fixes: f57a848da5 ('man: update documentation about global DNS configuration')
Since 1.44 we accept a global-dns section without any global-dns-domain
section, so users can define searches and options without defining any
global DNS servers.
When set from the D-Bus API it was still rejected. Fix it.
Fixes: 1f0d1d78d2 ('dns-manager: always apply options from [global-dns]')
NM_SETTING_BOND_OPTION_LACP_ACTIVE is flagged as BOND_OPTFLAG_IFDOWN in

If "flags" indicate that only secrets should be serialized and a peer
doesn't contain any secrets, skip it. Otherwise the function would
return a non-empty result when the connection contains no secret,
which causes issues later in the agent manager.

With the newer glib and libc in F42 and Ubuntu devel, the

During disposal we're calling to remove_all_aps that in turns schedules
an auto-activate recheck. As the device is removed, this triggers an
assertion when trying to do the recheck.
Fix that by not scheduling the recheck.

When a software device becomes deactivated, we check whether it can
be unrealized (= deleted in kernel), by calling function
delete_on_deactivate_check_and_schedule().
The function returns without doing anything if there is a new
activation enqueued on the device (priv->queued_act_request), because
in that case the device will be reused for the next activation.
This commit fixes a problem seen in NMCI test
@ovs_delete_connecting_interface: sometimes the device is not
unrealized after deleting the connection. That happens because if the
queued activation fails, we never try again to unrealize the device.
Fix that by calling delete_on_deactivate_check_and_schedule() when
there is a failure starting the queued activation.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/merge_requests/2258
Unrealized software devices are always available for activation,
hardware devices never.
In nm_manager_get_best_device_for_activation() we call
nm_device_is_available() on candidate devices. Without this fix, any
unrealized software device would be not considered ready for
activation, which is wrong.
A software device can override the default implementation of
is_available(). For example NMDeviceOvsInterface does that and only
checks the OVSDB is ready.

The previous commit will raise an error if wrong list
separators are being used in an nmconnection file for dns-search to
avoid that they are all considered a single string.
However, existing users might have wrong values of dns-search that
currently are not preventing the connection of being activated. To avoid
that a NetworkManager update breaks existing configs, potentially even
cutting connectivity with remote machines, accept wrong separators in
keyfiles but emitting a warning.
Fixes: 919156552ede ('dns: ensure that no wrong separators are used for DNS search domains')
If wrong separators are used in they keyfile, like commas, the whole
line is considered as a single domain string, like "a.org,b.org".
Obviously this is invalid.
Ideally we should validate that the string is a valid domain, but this
gets quite complex if we want to support unicode characters, which are
valid for many top domains. For now, validate at least that no wrong
separators have been used.

There are several flags specified in the NVMe Boot Specification
that may indicate DHCP was used to acquire information during the
pre-OS phase. This commit considers these additional sources,
based on actual NBFT table contents from different systems.
Although we've seen slight variations in firmware implementations
regarding the HFI IP Origin values when DHCP was configured, the
new set of rules still align with expectations.
With this configuration:
[Interface]
...
Address = 172.16.110.116/28,172.16.111.21/28
[Peer]
...
AllowedIPs = 172.16.110.112/28
[Peer]
...
AllowedIPs = 172.16.111.16/28
NetworkManager currently creates the following routes
(1) 172.16.110.112/28 dev wg0 proto static scope link metric 50 <-- peer route
(2) 172.16.110.112/28 dev wg0 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.110.116 metric 50 <-- prefix route
(3) 172.16.111.16/28 dev wg0 proto static scope link metric 50 <-- peer route
(4) 172.16.111.16/28 dev wg0 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.111.21 metric 50 <-- prefix route
If we try to reach a host in the second peer subnet, route (4)
matches. Route (4) doesn't specify a source IP and so the kernel will
use the first IP set on the interface (172.16.110.116), which is the
wrong one.
# ip route get 172.16.111.17
172.16.111.17 dev wg0 src 172.16.110.116 uid 0
To fix this problem, if the AllowedIP subnet is already reachable on
the interface via the prefix route of a static IP address, we should
skip adding the peer route.
wg-quick does something similar here:
https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-tools/tree/src/wg-quick/linux.bash?h=v1.0.20250521#n177
The condition in wg-quick is a bit different because it checks that no
duplicate route exists on the interface. We can't do exactly the same
because in NMDeviceWireGuard we don't have visibility on all the
platform routes.
