This setting can't be handled IWD (e.g. during autoactivations performed
by IWD) and although for manual activations NM will probably check it,
there's no reason for the IWD backend to restrict new profiles to one
interface plus when running IWD the udev permanent interface naming is
likely to be broken.

It's hard to understand what "tools/generate-docs-nm-settings-docs-merge.py"
does. Add dbg() statements that are all NOP by default. But the user can
easily patch the code to print what is happening. This is only for
debugging the script.
The user really must not treat UuidData.bin as a NUL terminated string.
The _nul_sentinel is not necessary. And if by chance the user makes this
fatal mistake, then UuidData.str will still be there to NUL terminate the
buffer, the content is garbage either way.
Remove the sentinel.
nm_uuid_generate_from_string*() accepts an optional namespace parameter,
to seed the hashing. This previously was a UUID in string format, so it
first had to be parsed.
Rework the code to pass a NMUuid instance that can be used directly.
Also, as the type_args parameter is always of the same type, change
the argument from a void pointer to "const NMUuid *" pointer.
The previous implementation of these macros simply relied on the
__VA_ARGS__ to be expended and joined with ','. That make that work
inside the switch statement, the macros expanded to
switch (val) {
(void) 0, (void) 0;
case 0x1:
s = " ""value" "";
break;
(void) 0, (void) 0;
};
Those NOP statements cause lgtm.com to complain "Dead code due to goto
or break statement".
Implement these macros differently using NM_VA_ARGS_JOIN().
We have variadic macros like NM_UTILS_ENUM2STR() that create a switch
statement. Their implementation relies on the way how __VA_ARGS__
gets expanded to a comma separated list. But that implementation is
not great. Let's instead add (and later use) NM_VA_ARGS_JOIN() which
can join variadic arguments by a configurable separator.
_NM_OBJECT_CLASS_INIT_FIELD_INFO() is a bit odd, because it defines a
static variable and initialized it at the moment when being "called".
This is in fact correct, because this code only gets called from inside
the _class_init() function, which is executed at most once.
Add an assertion to ensure that the static variables is not yet
initialized.
- always remember priv->last_state_dir that we received via
D-Bus. Only later, during get_config_path() we will check
whether the path is valid.
- remember in priv->warned_state_dir the full path for
which we warned. We want to print a warning for each
path once, if the path changes, then we also want a new
warning. A boolean flag cannot express that.
Otherwise we see a warning:
<warn> [1622790097.3601] config: unknown key firewall-backend in section [main] of file /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

So far, we didn't verify the secondary connections at all.
But these really are supposed to be UUIDs.
As we now also normalize "connection.uuid" to be in a strict
format, the user might have profiles with non-normalized UUIDs.
In that case, the "connection.uuid" would be normalized, but
"connection.secondaries" no longer matches. We can fix that by
also normalizing "connection.secondaries". OK, this is not a very good
reason, because it's unlikely to affect any users in practice ('though
it's easy to reproduce).
A better reason is that the secondary setting really should be well
defined and verified. As we didn't do that so far, we cannot simply
outright reject invalid settings. What this patch does instead, is
silently changing the profile to only contain valid settings.
That has it's own problems, like that the user setting an invalid
value does not get an error nor the desired(?) outcome.
But of all the bad choices, normalizing seems the most sensible
one.
Note that in practice, most client applications don't rely on setting
arbitrary (invalid) "UUIDs". They simply expect to be able to set valid
UUIDs, which they still are. For example, nm-connection-editor presents
a drop down list of VPN profile, and nmcli also resolves connection IDs
to the UUID. That is, clients already have an intimate understanding of
this setting, and don't blindly set arbitrary values. Hence, this
normalization is unlikely to hit users in practice. But what it gives
is the guarantee that a verified connection only contains valid UUIDs.
Now all UUIDs will be normalized, invalid entries removed, and the list
made unique.
