We should use the same str2bool parser everywhere: _nm_utils_ascii_str_to_bool().
Incidentally, this function allows more forms of expressing a boolean
value.
$ nmcli connection modify "$CON" ipv4.routes '1.2.3.4/32 1.2.3.1 onlink=1'
Error: failed to modify ipv4.routes: invalid option 'onlink=1': invalid boolean value '1' for attribute 'onlink'.
Currently both bridge.mac-address and ethernet.cloned-mac-address get
written to the same MACADDR ifcfg-rh variable; the ethernet property
wins if both are present.
When one property is set and the connection is saved (and thus reread)
both properties are populated with the same value. This is wrong
because, even if the properties have the same meaning, the setting
plugin should not read something different from what was written. Also
consider that after the following steps:
$ nmcli con mod c ethernet.cloned-mac-address 00:11:22:33:44:55
$ nmcli con mod c ethernet.cloned-mac-address ""
the connection will still have the new mac address set in the
bridge.mac-address property, which is certainly unexpected.
In general, mapping multiple properties to the same variable is
harmful and must be avoided. Therefore, let's use a different variable
for bridge.mac-address. This changes behavior, but not so much:
- connections that have MACADDR set will behave as before; the only
difference will be that the MAC will be present in the wired
setting instead of the bridge one;
- initscripts compatibility is not relevant because MACADDR for
bridges was a NM extension;
- if someone creates a new connection and sets bridge.mac-address NM
will set the BRIDGE_MACADDR property instead of MACADDR. But this
shouldn't be a big concern as bridge.mac-address is documented as
deprecated and should not be used for new connections.

Previously, g_hash_table_get_keys() would already allocate a
GList list, which then gets copied to another GSList.
Don't do that. Just allocate one array to keep all the
elements.
Also, as we now use nm_setting_vpn_get_secret_keys() and
nm_setting_vpn_get_data_keys(), note that the keys are sorted
and hence the order is stable.
It's rather limiting that the only API to access *all* keys
is nm_setting_vpn_foreach_data_item() and nm_setting_vpn_foreach_secret().
API like nm_setting_vpn_get_num_secrets() is not useful, at least as
long as you cannot access the item by index.
Matters when backslash escaping ascii charaters <= 0xF, to
produce "\\XX" instead of "\\ X". For example tabulator is "\\09".
This also can trigger an nm_assert() failure, when building with
--with-more-asserts=5 (or higher).
We also do this for libnm and libnm-core, where it causes visible changes
in behavior. But if somebody would rely on the hashing implementation
for hash tables, it would be seriously flawed.
Next we will use siphash24() instead of the glib version g_direct_hash() or
g_str_hash(). Hence, the "nm-utils/nm-hash-utils.h" header becomes very
fundamental and will be needed basically everywhere.
Instead of requiring the users to include them, let it be included via
"nm-default.h" header.
siphash24() mixes the bits much better then our naive xor.
Don't bypass siphash24(). We supposedly use it for the
better hashing properties, so use it also for pointers.
When using siphash24(), the hash value depends on the hashed input
and the key from _get_hash_key(). If the input is static, so is also
the result of siphash24(), albeit the bits are scrabbled more.
Add a nm_hash_static() to get such a static key, but without actually
doing siphash24(). The static key is also xored with a static_seed.
For that, also mangle the first byte of the hash key using siphash24()
itself. That is, because nm_hash_static() only uses the first guint of the
random key. Hence, we want that this first guint has all the entropy
of the entire key. We use siphash24() itself, to mangle all bits
of the 16 byte key into the first guint.
Currently there are multiple features that require Jansson support,
but WITH_JANSSON=1 is set only when configuring with
--enable-json-validation. Therefore a build with
"--disable-json-validation --enable-ovs" fails.
The availability of Jansson (WITH_JANSSON) should only be used:
- to check if dependent features can be enabled
- to determine compiler and linker flags in the Makefile
- in nm-jansson.h to define compatibility functions if needed
Everything else must be controlled by a configure switch.

Kernel doesn't support it for IPv6.
This is especially useful, if you combine static routes
with DHCP. In that case, you might want to get the device-route
to the gateway automatically, but add a static-route for it.
The number of authentication retires is useful also for passwords aside
802-1x settings. For example, src/devices/wifi/nm-device-wifi.c also has
a retry counter and uses a hard-coded value of 3.
Move the setting, so that it can be used in general. Although it is still
not implemented for other settings.
This is an API and ABI break.
When the ifcfg-rh plugin writes a 802-1x setting it currently ignores
the password-raw property and so the password disappears when the
connection is saved. Add support for the property.
Normalizing can be complicated, as settings depend on each other and possibly
conflict.
That is, because verify() must exactly anticipate whether normalization will
succeed and how the result will look like. That is because we only want to
modify the connection, if we are sure that the result will verify.
Hence, verify() and normalize() are strongly related. The implementation
should not be spread out between NMSettingOvsInterface:verify(),
NMSettingOvsPatch:verify() and _normalize_ovs_interface_type().
Also, add some unit-tests.
There is no API to get all settings. You can only ask for
settings explicitly, but that requires you to probe for them
and know which ones may exist.
The alternative API might be nm_connection_for_each_setting_value(),
but that only iterates over settings' properties. If a setting has no
properties, it is ignored.
