We don't need an external CheckpointItem, just to wrap the
CList instance. Embed it directly in NMCheckpoint.
Sure, that exposes the checkpoints_lst field in the (internal)
header file, hiding the private member less.
Similar cases of such a field are named "manager". Also,
internal names shall not have an "nm" prefix, contrary
to names in a header file, which shall have such a prefix.
I find it slightly nicer and explict. Also, the list elements
are strictly speaking private, we should better not explicitly
use them outside of NMManager/NMDevice. The macro hides this.
Instead of generating a connection and checking whether it is
compatible with the connection indicated in the state file, just pick
the indicated connection after a basic check of compatibility with the
device.

- consistently set options, searches, domains fields to %NULL,
if there are no values.
- in nm_global_dns_config_update_checksum(), ensure that we uniquely
hash values. E.g. a config with "searches[a], options=[b]" should
hash differently from "searches=[ab], options=[]".
- in nm_global_dns_config_to_dbus(), reuse the sorted domain list.
We already have it, and it guarantees a consistent ordering of
fields.
- in global_dns_domain_from_dbus(), fix memleaks if D-Bus strdict
contains duplicate entries.
- no longer track APs in a hash table with their exported path
as key. The exported path is already tracked by NMDBusManager's
lookup index, so we can reuse that for fast lookup by path. Otherwise,
track the APs in a CList per device.
- as we now track APs in a CList, their order is well defined.
We no longer need to sort APs and obsoletes nm_wifi_aps_get_sorted()
and simplifies nm_wifi_aps_find_first_compatible().
We already track an index of exported objects in NMDBusManager.
Actually, that index was unused previously. We either could drop
it, or use it. Let's use it.
For comparing MAC addresses, they anyway have to be normalized
to binary. Convert it once outside the loop and pass the binary
form to nm_utils_hwaddr_matches(). Otherwise, we need to re-convert
it every time.
Instead of using a GSList for tracking the devices, use a CList.
I think a CList is in most cases the more suitable data structure
then GSList:
- you can find out in O(1) whether the object is linked. That
is nice, for example to assert in NMDevice's destructor that
the object was unlinked, and we will use that later in
nm_manager_get_device_by_path().
- you can unlink the element in O(1) and you can unlink the
element without having access to the link's head
- Contrary to GSList, this does not require an extra slice
allocation for the link node. It quite possibliy consumes
slightly less memory because the CList structure is embedded
in a struct that we already allocate. Even if slice allocation
would be perfect to only consume 2*sizeof(gpointer) for the link
note, it would at most be as-good as CList. Quite possibly,
there is an overhead though.
- CList possibly has better memory locality, because the link
structure and the data are close to each other.
Something which could be seen as disavantage, is that with CList
one device can only be tracked in one NMManager instance at a time.
But that is fine. There exists only one NMManager instance for now,
and even if we would ever introduce multiple managers, we probably
would not associate one NMDevice instance with multiple managers.
The advantages are arguably not huge, but CList is IMHO clearly the
more suited data structure. No need to stick to a suboptimal data
structure for the job. Refactor it.
GVariant is immutable and can nicely be shared and cached.
Cache the property variants. This makes getting the properties
faster, at the expense of using some extra memory.

The time savings are small, but that is because caching mostly speeds up
the GetManagedObjects calls, and that is only a small part of the entire
nmcli call from client side.
Move handling non-NM_IP_CONFIG_SOURCE_USER routes first. These are
routes that were added manually by the user in the connection.
Note that there is no change in behavior, because of how
_err_inval_due_to_ipv6_tentative_pref_src() would only accept
user routes already.
Since commit ed640f857a ("manager: ignore unmanaged devices when
looking for parent by UUID"), unmanaged devices are ignored when
looking for potential parent connection matches. Therefore, a software
device can fail autoactivation because the parent is not managed yet
and NM never tries to reactivate it. Ensure that we retry other
devices when a parent device becomes managed.

These fields have the same purpose for IPv4 and IPv6. Also, they have an alias
with name _x, that can be indexed by an IS_IPv4 1/0 value.
Rename the fields so that the distinguisher 4/6/x is at the end. The point
is to make the name more similar.
Functions like these are conceptually very similar. Commonly,
what we want to do for one address family we also want to do
for the other.
Merge the two functions. This moves the similar parts closer
to each other and stand beside it. This is only the first part
of the merge, which is pretty trivial without larger changes
(to keep the diff simple). More next.
Now that there is no difference between initial capturing of
the configuration, and a later update_ip_config() call during
a signal from platform, we only need to make sure that the
IP config instances are initialized at least once.
In case we are called multiple times, there is nothing to do.
This was called by via
...
- manager:recheck_assume_connection()
- manager:get_existing_connection()
- nm_device_capture_initial_config()
- update_ext_ip_config(initial=TRUE)
and would parse resolv.conf, and try to fill the device IP config
with nameservers and dns-options.
But why? It would only have effect if NM was started with
nm_dns_manager_get_resolv_conf_explicit(), but is that really sensible?
And it would only take effect on devices that have a default route.
And for what is this information even used?
Let's not do it this way. If we need this information for assuming or
external sys-iface mode, then it should be explicitly loaded at the
appropriate moment.
For now, drop it and see what breaks. Then we can fix it properly. If
it even matters.
Drop capture_lease_config(). It was added by commit
0321073b3c.
Note that it was only called by
...
- manager:recheck_assume_connection()
- manager:get_existing_connection()
- nm_device_capture_initial_config()
- update_ext_ip_config(addr_family=AF_INET, initial=TRUE)
- capture_lease_config()
It had only effect when the device had IPv4 permanent addresses.
But then, capture_lease_config() would go on and iterate over
all connections (sorted by last-connect timestamp). It would
consider connection candidates that are compatible with the device,
and try to read the lease information from disk
It's really unclear what this means. For assuming (graceful take over),
do we need the lease information in the device? I don't think so,
because we will match an existing connection. The lease information
shall be read while activating (if necessary).
For external connections, we don't even have a matching connection
and we always generate a new one. It doesn't seem right to consider
leases from disk, for a different connection.
Just drop this. It's really ugly. If this causes an issue, it must be
fixed differently. We want to behave determinstically and well defined.
I don't even comprehend all the implications of what this had.
Also note that update_ext_ip_config() no longer clears
priv->dev_ip4_config.
A failure to configure an address family does not mean that the connection
is going to fail. It depends, for example on ipvx.may-fail.
Always export the NMIPxConfig instance in that case.
linklocal6_complete() had only one caller. The caller would check
whether the conditions for linklocal6_complete() are satisfied, and
then call it. Note that linklocal6_complete() would again assert
that these conditions hold. Don't do this. Just move the check
inside linklocal6_complete(), and rename to linklocal6_check_complete().
Also, linklocal6_complete() was called by update_ip_config(),
which was called by nm_device_capture_initial_config() and
queued_ip6_config_change().
It doesn't make sense to call linklocal6_complete() during
nm_device_capture_initial_config(). Move the call to
queued_ip6_config_change().
Likewise, in ndisc_ra_timeout() we also want to include tentative
addresses. Looking into priv->ip6_config to determine whether
an other IP configuration is active, is anyway odd, and likely
a bug.
Instead have one particular nm_ip6_config_get_address_first_nontentative() function,
make it more extendable. Now, we pass a match-type argument, which can control which
element to search.
This patch has no change in behavior, but it already makes clear, that
nm_ip6_config_get_address_first_nontentative() was buggy, because it would
also return addresses that failed DAD.
Don't do "if (var == FALSE)" for boolean variables.
Also, make booleans in NMDevicePrivate structure bitfields
and reorder the fields beside other bitfields. This allows
a tighter packing of the structure.
