Only in one moment we need the old and requested settings together:
during _ethtool_coalesce_set(). But for that we shouldn't track both
states in "NMEthtoolCoalesceState".
Simplify "NMEthtoolCoalesceState" to only contain one set of options.
By tracking less state, the code becomes simpler, because you don't
need to wonder where the old and requested state is used.
We no longer add these. If you use Emacs, configure it yourself.
Also, due to our "smart-tab" usage the editor anyway does a subpar
job handling our tabs. However, on the upside every user can choose
whatever tab-width he/she prefers. If "smart-tabs" are used properly
(like we do), every tab-width will work.
No manual changes, just ran commands:
F=($(git grep -l -e '-\*-'))
sed '1 { /\/\* *-\*- *[mM]ode.*\*\/$/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
sed '1,4 { /^\(#\|--\|dnl\) *-\*- [mM]ode/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
Check remaining lines with:
git grep -e '-\*-'
The ultimate purpose of this is to cleanup our files and eventually use
SPDX license identifiers. For that, first get rid of the boilerplate lines.
"libnm-core" implements common functionality for "NetworkManager" and
"libnm".
Note that clients like "nmcli" cannot access the internal API provided
by "libnm-core". So, if nmcli wants to do something that is also done by
"libnm-core", , "libnm", or "NetworkManager", the code would have to be
duplicated.
Instead, such code can be in "libnm-libnm-core-{intern|aux}.la".
Note that:
0) "libnm-libnm-core-intern.la" is used by libnm-core itsself.
On the other hand, "libnm-libnm-core-aux.la" is not used by
libnm-core, but provides utilities on top of it.
1) they both extend "libnm-core" with utlities that are not public
API of libnm itself. Maybe part of the code should one day become
public API of libnm. On the other hand, this is code for which
we may not want to commit to a stable interface or which we
don't want to provide as part of the API.
2) "libnm-libnm-core-intern.la" is statically linked by "libnm-core"
and thus directly available to "libnm" and "NetworkManager".
On the other hand, "libnm-libnm-core-aux.la" may be used by "libnm"
and "NetworkManager".
Both libraries may be statically linked by libnm clients (like
nmcli).
3) it must only use glib, libnm-glib-aux.la, and the public API
of libnm-core.
This is important: it must not use "libnm-core/nm-core-internal.h"
nor "libnm-core/nm-utils-private.h" so the static library is usable
by nmcli which couldn't access these.
Note that "shared/nm-meta-setting.c" is an entirely different case,
because it behaves differently depending on whether linking against
"libnm-core" or the client programs. As such, this file must be compiled
twice.
(cherry picked from commit af07ed01c0)
Also, add two more features "tx-tcp-segmentation" and
"tx-tcp6-segmentation". There are two reasons for that:
- systemd-networkd supports setting these two features,
so lets support them too (apparently they are important
enough for networkd).
- these two features are already implicitly covered by "tso".
Like for the "ethtool" program, "tso" is an alias for several
actual features. By adding two features that are already
also covered by an alias (which sets multiple kernel names
at once), we showcase how aliases for the same feature can
coexist. In particular, note how setting
"tso on tx-tcp6-segmentation off" will behave as one would
expect: all 4 tso features covered by the alias are enabled,
except that particular one.
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.
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].

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
For addresses (NMPlatformIPAddress) the @addr_source field is ignored
on a platform level. That is, all addresses inside the platform cache
have this value set to NM_IP_CONFIG_SOURCE_KERNEL. Maybe, for that reason,
the source should not be a part of the NMPlatformIPAddress structure, but
it is convenient for users to piggy back the source inside the platform
address structure.
For routes, the source is stored in NMPlatformIPRoute's @rt_source
field. When adding a route to kernel, we set the @rtm_protocol of the
route depending on the source. However, we want to map different source
values to the same protocol value.
On the other hand, when kernel sends us a route that gets put inside
the cache, we must preserve the protocol value and must not map
different protocol values to the same source.
The reason is, that a user can add two routes that only differ by
@rtm_protocol. In that sense, the @rtm_protocol fields is part of the
unique ID of a kernel route, and thus different values must map to
different sources.
Fix this, by extending the range of NMIPConfigSource to contain
a range of protocol fields.
Most functions defined in "nm-platform-utils.h" perform a lookup
of link properties, for example via ethtool or sysfs. Those functions
depend on the system configuration, such as the current network namespace.
Move the simple helper functions away to "nm-core-internal.h", so that
all remaining functions from "nm-platform-utils.h" are really related to
somthing that interacts with the system/kernel.
- All internal source files (except "examples", which are not internal)
should include "config.h" first. As also all internal source
files should include "nm-default.h", let "config.h" be included
by "nm-default.h" and include "nm-default.h" as first in every
source file.
We already wanted to include "nm-default.h" before other headers
because it might contains some fixes (like "nm-glib.h" compatibility)
that is required first.
- After including "nm-default.h", we optinally allow for including the
corresponding header file for the source file at hand. The idea
is to ensure that each header file is self contained.
- Don't include "config.h" or "nm-default.h" in any header file
(except "nm-sd-adapt.h"). Public headers anyway must not include
these headers, and internal headers are never included after
"nm-default.h", as of the first previous point.
- Include all internal headers with quotes instead of angle brackets.
In practice it doesn't matter, because in our public headers we must
include other headers with angle brackets. As we use our public
headers also to compile our interal source files, effectively the
result must be the same. Still do it for consistency.
- Except for <config.h> itself. Include it with angle brackets as suggested by
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Configuration-Headers
Performing an ioctl on a non existent device may cause the automatic
load of a kernel module if the device name matches a module
alias. Check if the device actually exists before calling the ioctl.
There is no general purpose file for platform utilities.
We only have nm-platform.h, which contains (mostly) functions
that operate on a NMPlatform instance (and that can be mocked
using NMFakePlatform).
Add a new file for independent utility functions. nm-platform-utils.c
should not call into functions having a NMPlatform instance, to
have them independent from platform caching and the platform
singleton.
