Using CList, we embed the list element in NMActiveConnection struct
itself. That means for example, that you couldn't track a
NMActiveConnection more then once. But we anyway never want that.
The advantage is, that removing an active connection from the list
is O(1), and we safe additional GSlice allocations for each node
element.
(cherry picked from commit 3a907377ac)
During write, it can regularly happen that the connection gets modified.
For example, keyfile never writes blobs as-is, it always writes the
blob to an external file, and replaces the certificate property with
a path.
Other reasons could be just bugs, where the reader and writer are not doing
a proper round trip (these cases should be fixed).
Refactor commit_changes(), to return the re-read connection to
the settings-connection class, and handle replacing the settings
there.
Also, prepare for another change. Sometimes we first call replace_settings()
followed by commit_changes(). It would be better to instead call commit_changes()
first, and only on success proceed with replace_settings(). Hence, commit_changes()
gets a new argument new_connection, that can be used to write another
connection to disk.
Replace the usage of g_str_hash() with our own nm_str_hash().
GLib's g_str_hash() uses djb2 hashing function, just like we
do at the moment. The only difference is, that we use a diffrent
seed value.
Note, that we initialize the hash seed with random data (by calling
getrandom() or reading /dev/urandom). That is a change compared to
before.
This change of the hashing function and accessing the random pool
might be undesired for libnm/libnm-core. Hence, the change is not
done there as it possibly changes behavior for public API. Maybe
we should do that later though.
At this point, there isn't much of a change. This patch becomes
interesting, if we decide to use a different hashing algorithm.
Since commit 0922a17738 ("manager: avoid that auto-activations
preempt user activations") the manager doesn't allow a internal
activation to disconnect the same connection already active on the
device. Thus, during a rollback we must ensure that the device is
deactivated before.
Fixes: 0922a17738
On rollback, before updating the settings-connection check if it
actually changed. Also, only reactivate the connection if it was
deactivated or if the settings/applied connection changed.

We call these functions a lot. A GSList is just the wrong tool for the
job. Refactor the code to use instead a sorted array everywhere.
This means, we malloc() one array for all connections instead
slice-allocate a GSList item for each. Also, sorting an array
is faster then sorting a GSList.
Technically, the GSList implementation had the same big-O runtime
complexity, but using an array is still faster. That is, sorting
an array and a GSList is both O(n*log(n)).
Actually, nm_settings_get_connections_sorted() used
g_slist_insert_sorted() instead of g_slist_sort(). That results
in O(n^2). That could have been fixed to have O(n*log(n)), but
instead refactor the code to use an array.
This makes it easier to install the files with proper names.
Also, it makes the makefile rules slightly simpler.
Lastly, the documentation is now generated into docs/api, which makes it
possible to get rid of the awkward relative file names in docbook.
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.
When a global checkpoint is created (one with empty device list) we
save the status of all devices to restore it later. After the
checkpoint new interfaces and connections may appear and they can
significantly influence the overall networking status, but we don't
consider them at the moment.
Introduce a new flag DELETE_NEW_CONNECTIONS to delete any connection
added after the checkpoint and similarly a DISCONNECT_NEW_DEVICES to
ensure that the connection active on newly appeared devices doesn't
disrupt network connectivity.

- use _NM_GET_PRIVATE() and _NM_GET_PRIVATE_PTR() everywhere.
- reorder statements, to have GObject related functions (init, dispose,
constructed) at the bottom of each file and in a consistent order w.r.t.
each other.
- unify whitespaces in signal and properties declarations.
- use NM_GOBJECT_PROPERTIES_DEFINE() and _notify()
- drop unused signal slots in class structures
- drop unused header files for device factories
First, consider all devices and not only realized and managed ones
when an empty list is passed. Also, move the list evaluation to the
checkpoint manager, since the check for device conflicts is done
there.
Fixes: 3e09aed2a0
In order to better restore the previous system state, allow the
inclusion of unmanaged devices in a checkpoint and try to revert to
the old state taking also the realized/managed state into account.
