We end up calling nmp_cache_id_init_*() a lot to initialize stack-allocated
cache-ids to lookup the NMMultiIndex. There is no need to memset() it to
zero, because all relevant fields are supposed to be set explicitly.
The kernel already takes care of adding and updating temporary
addresses when an address with IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR flag is added or
updated; doing it also in nm_platform_ip6_address_sync() can overwrite
the changes done by kernel, especially because since commit
0a0bca9c7f ("ip6-config: sort addresses only when reading the
property value") there is no guarantee that temporary addresses are
before the public ones in the IPv6 configuration.
Still delete temporary addresses, but don't add or update them.
We call nmp_utils_ethtool_get_driver_info() twice when receiving a
netlink message, but we don't need a clone of the string values.
Instead, expose a data structure that should be stack allocated
by the caller.
The ioctl APIs ethtool/mii require an interface ifname. That is inherrently
racy as interfaces can be renamed. This cannot be fixed, we can only
minimize the time between verifying the ifname and calling ioctl.
We already had problems with that when ethtool would access an interface
by name that didn't exists. See commit ab41c13b06 .
Checking for an existing interface only helps avoiding races when an interface
gets deleted. It does not help against renaming.
Go one step further, and instead of checking whether such an ifname
exists, try to get the ifname based on the ifindex immediately before
we need it.
This brings an additional overhead for each ethtool access.
- use nm_auto_close cleanup attribute
- optionally, return the found ifname
- don't stat "phy80211". If such an entity can be opened,
just assume it's a directory.
Since function nmp_utils_open_sysctl() can avoid race condition, use it
in wifi_utils_is_wifi() to open sysfs and correctly check if it's a wifi
device.

A race condition may happen when NetworkManager opens sysfs and udev
renames interface name at the same time. Thomas Haller provides a new
function [1] which can avoid the race condition when opening sysfs.
This patch is a direct copy from [1].

nm_platform_ip4_address_sync() tries to apply the new configuration
with the minimum effort and doesn't delete addresses if they are
already present on the interface. This can break the ordering, as an
existing address would be promoted by kernel to primary, even if it
was last in our configuration.
Add some logic to ensure the correct order of addresses is always
enforced. This fixes situations like:
# nmcli connection add type ethernet ifname eth0 con-name t \
ipv4.method manual \
ipv4.addresses "1.1.1.1/24,1.1.1.2/24,1.1.1.5/24"
# nmcli connection up t
=> addresses are applied in the right order:
inet 1.1.1.1/24 brd 1.1.1.255 scope global eth0
inet 1.1.1.2/24 brd 1.1.1.255 scope global secondary eth0
inet 1.1.1.5/24 brd 1.1.1.255 scope global secondary eth0
# nmcli connection mod t ipv4.addresses "1.1.1.5/24,1.1.1.2/24,1.1.1.1/24"
# nmcli device reapply eth0
=> order is wrong:
inet 1.1.1.2/24 brd 1.1.1.255 scope global eth0
inet 1.1.1.5/24 brd 1.1.1.255 scope global secondary eth0
inet 1.1.1.1/24 brd 1.1.1.255 scope global secondary eth0

Since commit 9fafb382db, we would
explicitly set libnl's socket buffer size to 4*getpagesize().
That is also the default of libnl itself. Additionally, we would
workaround too small buffers by increasing the buffer size up to 512K.
A too small buffer causes messages to be lost. Usually, that only
results in a cache-resync, which isn't too bad. Lost messages are however
a problem if the lost message was an ACK that we were waiting for.
However, it is rather unlikely to happen, because it's expected that
the buffer size gets adjusted already when the cache is filled initially,
before any other requests are pending.
Still, let's increase the default buffer size to 32K, hoping that this
initial value is already large enough to avoid the problem altogether.
Note that iproute2 also uses a buffer size of 32K [1] [2].
Alternatively, we could use MSG_PEEK like systemd does [3]. However,
that requires two syscalls per message.

We don't want to enable MSG_PEEK due to the overhead. But when we detect
that we just lost a message due to MSG_TRUNC, increase the buffer size and
retry.

Added platform functions to retrieve device link mode status and to
switch from auto to manual link negotiation:
nm_platform_ethtool_get_link_settings
nm_platform_ethtool_set_link_settings
Keep the include paths clean and separate. We use directories to group source
files together. That makes sense (I guess), but then we should use this
grouping also when including files. Thus require to #include files with their
path relative to "src/".
Also, we build various artifacts from the "src/" tree. Instead of having
individual CFLAGS for each artifact in Makefile.am, the CFLAGS should be
unified. Previously, the CFLAGS for each artifact differ and are inconsistent
in which paths they add to the search path. Fix the inconsistency by just
don't add the paths at all.
We'll soon not only do the router discovery, but announce ourselves as a
reouter. "Neighbor discovery" sounds to be a more appropriate name for
the class than "Router discovery".
We only needed proper glib enum types for having properties
and signal arguments. These got all converted to plain int,
so no longer generate such an enum type.
Had to rename "nm-enum-types.h" because it works badly with
"libnm/nm-enum-types.h". Maybe I could fix that differently,
but duplicate names is anyway error prone.
Note that "nm-core-enum-types.h" is already taken too, so
"nm-src-enum-types.h" it is.
