The 7th field of:
ip=<client-IP>:[<peer>]:<gateway-IP>:<netmask>:<client_hostname>:<interface>:{none|off|dhcp|on|any|dhcp6|auto6|ibft}:[:[<mtu>][:<macaddr>]]
specifies which kind of autoconfiguration to do. 'none' and 'off' mean
static addresses.
The old network module of dracut used to leave kernel IPv6
autoconfiguration enabled when IPv4 static addresses were
configured. With NM, this corresponds to enabling IPv6 auto method.

(cherry picked from commit a39eb9ac14)
When the initrd generator creates a connection with IPv6 method
'ignore', the kernel will do IPv6 autoconfiguration on the
interface. However, it is preferable to let NetworkManager configure
the interface directly instead of relying on kernel. Therefore, change
the IPv6 method to 'auto'. Note that we still set ipv6.may-fail to
'yes' so that a failure during IPv6 autoconfiguration doesn't bring
down the interface.

The kernel command line supports escaping and quoting (at least,
according to systemd's parser, which is our example to follow).
Use nm_utils_strsplit_quoted() which supports that.
(cherry picked from commit 27041e9f05)
We want to parse "/proc/cmdline". That is space separated with support
for quoting and escaping. Our implementation becomes part of stable
behavior, and we should interpret the kernel command line the same way
as the system does. That means, our implementation should match
systemd's.
(cherry picked from commit 10779d545a)
We usually don't want to use internal API of systemd for our own
purposes. Here, we will use it to check our implementation against
systemd's. Add an accessor to extract_first_word() for testing.

In the previous form, NM_STR_BUF_INIT() was a macro. That makes sense,
however it's not really possible to make that a macro without evaluating
the reservation length multiple times. That means,
NMStrBuf strbuf = NM_STR_BUF_INIT (nmtst_get_rand_uint32 () % 100, FALSE);
leads to a crash. That is unfortunate, so instead make it an inline
function that returns a NMStrBut struct. Usually, we avoid functions
that returns structs, but here we do it.
(cherry picked from commit c6809df4cd)
Previously, for simplicity, NMStrBuf did not support buffers without any
data allocated. However, supporting that has very little
overhead/complexity, so do it.
Now you can initialize buffers to have no data allocated, and when
appending data, it will automatically grow.

NMUtilsPredicateStr got introduced in 1.26.0 API. However, marking the typedef
to be available only in 1.26, causes a compiler warning when using the header:
/usr/include/libnm/nm-setting.h:372:39: error: ‘NMUtilsPredicateStr’ is deprecated: Not available before 1.26 [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
372 | NMUtilsPredicateStr predicate);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
Avoid that. It's not a problem in practice, because all users of the typedef
are functions that are marked to be available in 1.26 themselves.
(cherry picked from commit 8a13b02d96)
The API does not allow to distinguish between an unset (NULL) or empty
strv array. For example, nm_setting_match_get_paths() never returns
%NULL, but returns an empty strv array.
On the other hand, the GObject properties of type G_TYPE_STRV have a
default value of %NULL. That means, also the getter should map both
unset and empty to %NULL.
Note that this is a change in behavior w.r.t. 1.24.0 API, where
match.interface-name property would return an empty strv array.
Regrading the other API, this is no change because it is new API
and we will fix it before 1.26.0 release.

If g_vsnprintf() returns that it wants to write 5 characters, it
really needs space for 5+1 characters. If we have 5 characters
available, it would have written "0123\0", which leaves the buffer
broken.

g_steal_pointer() is marked as GLIB_AVAILABLE_STATIC_INLINE_IN_2_44,
that means we get a deprecated warning. Avoid that. We anyway
re-implement the macro so that we can use it before 2.44 and so
that it always does the typeof() cast.
It would seem that the proper dependency is "man/.dirstamp". But that just
doesn't work. Use "man/common.ent" instead. If you figure out how to
convince autotools to make .dirstamp working, send a patch.
The commit breaks many nmstate CI tests. It also breaks the
autoconnect-slaves functionality: if the master gets reactivated and
the slave was active, the slave is not reconnected.
A different solution is needed for the original issue.
This reverts commit 024e983c8e.
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.
