The @udi field is not a static string, so any user of a NMPlatformLink
instance must make sure not to use the field beyond the lifetime of the
NMPlatformLink instance.
As we pass on the platform link instance during platform changed events,
this is hard to ensure for the subscriber of the signal -- because a
call back into platform could invalidate/modify the object.
Just not expose this field as part of the link instance. The few callers
who actually needed it should instead call nm_platform_get_uid(). With
that, the lifetime of the returned 'const char *' pointer is clearly
defined.
The metered property of a NMDevice that reaches the activated state is
copied from the active connection and if its value is 'unknown' some
heuristics are used to guess the actual value.
When the connection is torn down the metered property is reset to
'unknown'.
We already populate the netlink cache in constructed(). No need
to wait with udev devices until nm_platform_query_devices(). Just
do it right away.
Add a hack to keep 'lo' default-unmanaged. Now that we load
udev devices earlier, we end up clearing the default-unmanged
flag on 'lo', which has bad consequences.
We don't want error logging for nm_platform_link_add() which
tries to load the bonding module. Later we will run tests as non-root,
where modprobe will fail. Logging an error would break the tests.
Since introduction for support of ip6-privacy (use_tempaddr,
RFC4941) with commit d376270bfe,
the sysctl value from /etc was always read first.
This is problematic, because an explicit setting in the
connection should not be ignored over a global configuration.
Drop that old behavior. It was also problematic, because we did
not read any files under /etc/sysctl.d (except for sysctl.conf).
Also, we did not honor per-interface configurations.
Now we also use as last fallback the value from
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/use_tempaddr
That has the advantage of falling back to the system default value
so that NM doesn't need to have it's own default policy
(Related: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1187525).
This is a change in behavior.
Support default value for setting 'ipv6.ip6-privacy' in
NetworkManager.conf.
If the global value is unset, preserve old behavior of looking into
/etc/sycctl.conf first. That behavior was introduced with commit
d376270bfe, since we support ip6-privacy
setting.
If the global value is set to "unknown", add a new fallback
that instead reads the runtime value from
"/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/use_tempaddr"
This seems more sensible behavior because we fallback to sysctl,
but instead of looking at static files in /etc, read /proc.
But to preserve the old behavior, we only do that when a global
value is configured at all.

The route-metric can be configured per connection via the
ipv4.route-metric and ipv6.route-metric fields. When the
value is left at -1 (the default), we would determine the
route-metric based on the device type (nm_device_get_priority()).
Extend that scheme by making the default value overwritable in
NetworkManager.conf.
Add a function to get a concise representation of the
device type.
libnm already has nm_device_get_type_description() for that
and it is shown by
nmcli -f GENERAL.TYPE device show
Reimplement that function for nm-core. Just take care that the
two implementations don't diverge.
Add the new configuration option 'assume-ipv6ll-only' which specifies
the devices for which NM will try to assume an existing IPv6LL-only
configuration.
The new default behavior is to ignore such configurations since IPv6LL
addresses are automatically assigned by the kernel when the device is
brought up and thus the presence of an IPv6LL address doesn't mean
that the device was configured by the administrator.
The previous behavior was to always assume IPv6LL-only configurations
but this often had the unwanted effect of preventing other on-disk
configurations to be activated. To preserve the old behavior the
option must be set to '*'.

Previously for assumed connections we would never configure a default route.
That has serious problems for example in the following two scenarios:
- the default-route might have a limited lifetime from a previous
SLAAC/accept_ra setting. In this case, once we assume the connection
we must also ensure that we extend the lifetime of the default
route.
- the gateway could be received via DHCP/RA and it might change.
If we ignore default-routes for assumed connection we miss that
change.
The problem is that the notion of "assumed connection" wrongly combines
two conflicting goals (related bug bgo#746440):
a) have an external device that is entirely unmanged by NM.
b) do a seamless takeover of a previously managed connection at start,
but still fully manage.
This patch changes the handling of default-routes towards meaning b).
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1224291
Since da708059da, we would pickup the
default-route as configured externally, except at those moments when
NM re-applys the IP configuration of the interface, such as during a
DHCP lease.
That allows the user to add/remove the default-route externally (iproute).
But still, at random times (DHCP lease), we will revert those external
changes.
Extend this, that if the connection is explicitly configured as
'never-default=yes', that it tells NM not to interfere with externally
added default-routes on this device. That means, NM will only remove
any preexisting default-routes when configuring the device a first
time.
On any later attempts, NM will assume whatever is configured there.
That makes sense because the user indicated not wanting NM to
manage a default-route on that device, so if something externally
added a default-route, assume that is what the user wants.
This only affects non-assumed connections, with 'never-default=yes'.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1205405
Also accept a NULL connection in
nm_default_route_manager_ip4_connection_has_default_route() and
nm_default_route_manager_ip6_connection_has_default_route().
We need to know whether we can create interfaces of any given
NMDevice subclass or not. So don't rely on just the NMPlatformLink
for that information, because we won't have a platform link for
software devices before we create them.
nm_device_factory_manager_find_factory_for_link_type()
easily can see a link-type NM_LINK_TYPE_UNKNOWN because
there are many link types that NetworkManager cannot detect.
Just return NULL early.

Try to set the MTU of the parent Ethernet interface to match the
requested PPP MTU and MRU. This allows the negotiation of a PPP MTU
and MRU greater than 1492.
When a connection had static IP addresses, an early event
from plaform would clear them from priv->con_ip4_config.
Fix that, by don't initializing priv->con_ip4_config
before we commit the first time.

It could be that the device was removed and the default route manager holds the

Instead of hacky stuff in the Manager, let plugins themselves indicate
which links should be ignored (because they are really child links that
are controlled by a different device that the plugin handles).
Ethernet, WiFi, and VLAN used the same implementation for initial address.
Ethernet and WiFi used the same implementation (and duplicated code) for
permanent MAC address, plus they both used ethtool in what should be
generic code, which is better done in the platform.
Instead of having a bunch of logic in the Manager for determining the
VLAN and Infiniband virtual interface names, move the type-specific
logic into the plugins themselves.
Instead of looping over all plugins and asking each plugin whether it
can handle a link or a connection, have them advertise the link and
connection types they support, and use that when creating new devices.
For existing devices, depending on the order that netlink sends interfaces to
us, the parent may be found after the VLAN interface and not be available when
the VLAN interface is constructed. Instead of failing construction, when a
NMDeviceVlan has no parent keep it unavailable for activation. Then have
the Manager notify existing devices when a new device is found, and let
NMDeviceVlan find the parent later and become available via that mechanism.
This doesn't apply to VLANs created by NM itself, because the kernel requires
a parent ifindex when creating a VLAN device. Thus this fix only applies to
VLANs created outside NetworkManager, or existing when NM starts up.
NM never removes the current AP from the AP list, to prevent NM from
indicating that it's connected, but to nothing. But the supplicant
can remove that AP from its list at any time (out of range, turned off,
etc), leading to a priv->current_ap that is no longer known to the
supplicant but still exists in the NM AP list. Since the supplicant
has forgotten it, NM will never receive a removal signal for it.
To ensure that a supplicant-forgotten priv->current_ap is removed
from the NM AP list when priv->current_ap is cleared or changed, mark
any AP removed by the supplicant as 'fake'. It will then always be
removed in set_current_ap() and not linger in the AP list forever like
a zombie.
