NetworkManager is now able to configure veth interfaces throught the
NMSettingVeth. Veth interfaces only have "peer" property.
In order to support Veth interfaces in NetworkManager the design need
to pass the following requirements:
* Veth setting only has "peer" attribute.
* Ethernet profiles must be applicable to Veth interfaces.
* When creating a veth interface, the peer will be managed by
NetworkManager but will not have a profile.
* Veth connection can reapply only if the peer has not been modified.
* In order to modify the veth peer, NetworkManager must deactivate the
connection and create a new one with peer modified.
In general, it should support the basis of veth interfaces but without
breaking any existing feature or use case. The users that are using veth
interfaces as ethernet should not notice anything changed unless they
specified the veth peer setting.
Creating a Veth interface in NetworkManager is useful even without the
support for namespaces for some use cases, e.g "connecting one side of
the veth to an OVS bridge and the other side to a Linux bridge" this is
done when using OVN kubernetes [1][2]. In addition, it would provide
persistent configuration and rollback support for Veth interfaces.

Revert this change. One problem is that none of the current GUIs
(nm-connection-editor, gnome-control-center, plasma-nm) expose the
dns-priority option. So, users tend to have their profile value set to
0. Changing the default means for them not only a change in behavior,
but its hard to fix via the GUI.
Also, what other call DNS leaks, is Split DNS to some. Both uses make
sense, but have conflicting goals. The default cannot accommodate both
at the same time.
Also, with split DNS enabled (dnsmasq, systemd-resolved), the concern
for DNS leaks is smaller. Imagine:
Wi-Fi profile with ipv4.dns-priority (effectively) 100, domain "example.com".
VPN profile with ipv4.dns-priority (effectively) 50 and a default route.
That is a common setup that one gets by default (and what probably many
users have today). In such a case with split DNS enabled, the Wi-Fi's DNS
server only sees requests for "*.example.com". So, it does not leak
everything.
Hence, revert this change before 1.28.0 release to the earlier behavior.
This reverts commit af13081bec.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/merge_requests/688
Change the default DNS priority of VPNs to -50, to avoid leaking
queries out of full-tunnel VPNs.
This is a change in behavior. In particular:
- when using dns=default (i.e. no split-dns) before this patch both
VPN and the local name server were added (in this order) to
resolv.conf; the result was that depending on resolv.conf options
and resolver implementation, the name servers were tried in a
certain manner which does not prevent DNS leaks.
With this change, only the VPN name server is added to resolv.conf.
- When using a split-dns plugin (systemd-resolved or dnsmasq), before
this patch the full-tunnel VPN would get all queries except those
ending in a local domain, that would instead be directed to the
local server.
After this patch, the VPN gets all queries.
To revert to the old behavior, set the DNS priority to 50 in the
connection profile.
A profile can configure "connection.wait-device-timeout" to indicate
that startup complete is blocked until a suitable device around.
This is useful for NetworkManager-wait-online and initrd mode.
Previously, we looked at NMPlatform whether a link with matching
interface-name was present. That is wrong because it cannot handle
profiles that rely on "ethernet.mac-address" setting or other "match"
settings. Also, the mere presence of the link does not yet mean
that the NMDevice was created and ready. In fact, there is a race here:
NMPlatform indicates that the device is ready (unblocking NMSettings),
but there is no corresponding NMDevice yet which keeps NetworkManager
busy to block startup complete.
Rework this. Now, only check whether there is a compatible device for
the profile.
Since we wait for compatible devices, it works now not only for the
interface name. Note that we do some optimizations so that we don't have
to re-evaluate all profiles (w.r.t. all devices) whenever something on the
device changes: we only care about this when all devices finally become
ready.
Also, we no longer start the timeout for "connection.wait-device-timeout"
when the profile appears. Instead, there is one system-wide start time
(NMSettingsPrivate.startup_complete_start_timestamp_msec). That simplifies
code and makes sense: we start waiting when NetworkManager is starting, not
when the profile gets added. Also, we wait for all profiles to become
ready together.
Kernel (sysfs) and iproute2 only use numbers for the multicast_router
option. It's confusing that we name the options differently. Anyway,
that cannot be changed anymore. Clarify the meanings in the
documentation.

For simple matches like match.interface-name, match.driver, and
match.path, arguably what we had was fine. There each element
(like "eth*") is a wildcard for a single name (like "eth1").
However, for match.kernel-command-line, the elements match individual
command line options, so we should have more flexibility of whether
a parameter is optional or mandatory. Extend the syntax for that.
- the elements can now be prefixed by either '|' or '&'. This makes
optional or mandatory elements, respectively. The entire match
evaluates to true if all mandatory elements match (if any) and
at least one of the optional elements (if any).
As before, if neither '|' nor '&' is specified, then the element
is optional (that means, "foo" is the same as "|foo").
- the exclamation mark is still used to invert the match. If used
alone (like "!foo") it is a shortcut for defining a mandatory match
("&!foo").
- the backslash can now be used to escape the special characters
above. Basically, the special characters ('|', '&', '!') are
stripped from the start of the element. If what is left afterwards
is a backslash, it also gets stripped and the remainder is the
pattern. For example, "\\&foo" has the pattern "&foo" where
'&' is no longer treated specially. This special handling of
the backslash is only done at the beginning of the element (after
the optional special characters). The remaining string is part
of the pattern, where backslashes might have their own meaning.
This change is mostly backward compatible, except for existing matches
that started with one of the special characters '|', '&', '!', and '\\'.
Add a new "path" property to the match setting, which can be used to
restrict a connection to devices with a given hardware path. The new
property is a list of patterns that are matched against the ID_PATH
udev property of devices.
ID_PATH represents the topological persistent path of a device and
typically contains a subsystem string (pci, usb, platform, etc.) and a
subsystem-specific identifier. Some examples of paths are:
pci-0000:00:02.0
pci-0000:00:14.0-usb-0:5:1.0
platform-1c40000.ethernet
systemd-networkd also has a "Path=" option to match a device by udev
ID_PATH.
This does not match kernel behavior. You seem to be able to configure
multicast_snooping=auto,enabled with multicast_snooping off just fine.
Possibly this constrained was inspired by `ip link`, which says:
mcast_router MULTICAST_ROUTER - set bridge's multicast router if IGMP
snooping is enabled.
But kernel doesn't enforce this:
ip link delete br0 2>/dev/null; \
ip link add br0 type bridge mcast_router 1 mcast_snooping 0; \
grep ^ /sys/devices/virtual/net/br0/bridge/{multicast_router,multicast_snooping}
gives:
/sys/devices/virtual/net/br0/bridge/multicast_router:1
/sys/devices/virtual/net/br0/bridge/multicast_snooping:0
We probably should not implement additional constrains on top of what
kernel does, if the conditions are that obscure.

The 'peer' property of ovs-patch is inserted into the 'options' column
of the ovsdb 'Interface' table. The ovs-vswitchd.conf.db man page says
about it:
options : peer: optional string
The name of the Interface for the other side of the patch. The
named Interface’s own peer option must specify this Interface’s
name. That is, the two patch interfaces must have reversed name
and peer values.
Therefore, it is wrong to validate the peer property as an IP address
and document it as such.

Add a new "driver" match option to nm-settings. It allows to disable a
network connection configuration if a pattern is found or is not found
in the device driver name.
Add a new "kernel-command-line" match option to nm-settings. It allows
to disable a network connection configuration if a pattern is found or
is not found in /proc/cmdline.
Conceptionally, the MUD URL really depends on the device, and not so
much the connection profile. That is, when you have a specific IoT
device, then this device probably should use the same MUD URL for all
profiles (at least by default).
We already have a mechanism for that: global connection defaults. Use
that. This allows a vendor drop pre-install a file
"/usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-mud-url.conf" with
[connection-10-mud-url]
connection.mud-url=https://example.com
Note that we introduce the special "connection.mud-url" value "none", to
indicate not to use a MUD URL (but also not to consult the global connection
default).
Since commit c1907a218a ('libnm-core: remove gateway when
never-default=yes in NMSettingIPConfig'), the gateway gets normalized
away when the profile has never-default set.
That means,
$ nmcli connection modify "$PROFILE" ipv4.never-default yes ipv4.gateway 192.168.77.1
does not set the gateway. Likewise, if your profile has already never-default
enabled,
$ nmcli connection modify "$PROFILE" ipv4.gateway 192.168.77.1
will have no effect. That is confusing and undesirable.
Note that we don't adjust the GObject property setter for "gateway" to clear
never-default. I feel, setting one property in libnm should preferably
not unset another (there are exceptions to the rule, like for team
properties). However, for nmcli it's clear in which order properties
are set, so this change is right for the client tool.

The profile's "ipv4.gateway" and "ipv6.gateway" has only one real
purpose: to define the next hop of a static default route.
Usually, when specifying a gateway in this way, the default route from
other addressing methods (like DHCPv4 or IPv6 autoconf) gets ignored.
If you have a WireGuard peer with "AllowedIPs=0.0.0.0/0" and
"wireguard.peer-routes" enabled, NetworkManager would automatically add
a route to the peer. Previously, if the user also set a gateway, that
route was suppressed.
That doesn't feel right. Note that configuring a gateway on a WireGuard
profile is likely to be wrong to begin with. At least, unless you take
otherwise care to avoid routing loops. If you take care, setting a
gateway may work, but it would feel clearer to instead just add an
explicit /0 manual route instead.
Also, note that usually you don't need a gateway anyway. WireGuard is a
Layer 3 (IP) tunnel, where the next hop is alway just the other side of
the tunnel. The next hop has little effect on the routes that you
configure on a WireGuard interface. What however matters is whether a
default route is present or not.
Also, an explicit gateway probably works badly with "ipv[46].ip4-auto-default-route",
because in that case the automatism should add a /0 peer-route route in a
separate routing table. The explicit gateway interferes with that too.
Nonetheless, without this patch it's not obvious why the /0 peer
route gets suppressed when a gateway is set. Don't allow for that, and
always add the peer-route.
Probably the profile's gateway setting is still wrong and causes the
profile not to work. But at least, you see all routes configured, and
it's clearer where the (wrong) default route to the gateway comes from.
