233d89da4b dhcp: don't schedule commit of type "update" when clearing acd
We don't know the reason why the DHCP client is being stopped. It is
wrong to schedule a commit of type "update" because the device could
be now unmanaged. Schedule instead a commit of type "auto", which
automatically determines the type of commit based on registered
handles.

b4f0b504d4 l3cfg: fix pruning of ACD data
If a commit is invoked without any change to the l3cd or to the ACD
data, in _l3cfg_update_combined_config() we skip calling
_l3_acd_data_add_all(), which should clear the dirty flag from ACDs.
Therefore, in case of such no-op commits the ACDs still marked as
dirty - but valid - are removed via:

 _l3_commit()
   _l3_acd_data_process_changes()
     _l3_acd_data_prune()
       _l3_acd_data_prune_one()

Invoking a l3cfg commit without any actual changes is allowed, see the
explanation in commit e773559d9d ('device: schedule an idle commit
when setting device's sys-iface-state').

The bug is visible by running test 'bond_addreses_restart_persistence'
with IPv4 ACD/DAD is enabled by default: after restart IPv6 completes
immediately, the devices becomes ACTIVATED, the sys-iface-state
transitions from ASSUME to MANAGED, a commit is done, and it
incorrectly prunes the ACD data. The result is that the IPv4 address
is never added again.

Fix this by doing the pruning only when we update the dirty flags.

ea36338d07 l3cfg: skip ACD for interfaces with IFF_NOARP
Interfaces with IFF_NOARP don't support Address Conflict Detection,
which is based on ARP. Trying to start ACD on them would result in
ENOBUFS always being returned by send(), and n-acd handles such error
by retrying indefinitely.

97792b34e6 l3cfg: schedule a commit when ACD is not supported
On interfaces not supporting ACD (for example, layer3 interfaces), the
probe fails to be created with message:

 l3cfg[...,ifindex=2]: acd[172.25.17.1, init]: probe-good (interface does not support acd, initial post-commit)
 l3cfg[...,ifindex=2]: acd[172.25.17.1, ready]: set state to ready (probe is ready, waiting for address to be configured)

During the post-commit event, if the address is not yet configured, we
need to schedule a new commit to actually add it.

e2a7e9c32f n-acd: use separate seed state for each probe of the same acd
Currently, all the probes of an acd instance share the same seed
state. This means that the state is updated by all the probes, and as
a consequence they get different jitters for the wait timeouts;
therefore the order in which addresses become available (and are
configured on the interface) is not deterministic.

Keep a separate seed state for each probe, initialized from the acd
seed. This ensures that all the probes use the same timeouts when
sending probe requests, and that in case of no collision, addresses
are available in the order of probe start.

d14ad5c0ca core: propagate the user-requested reason for act-request disconnection
If the device is being disconnected for a user request, at the moment
the active connection goes to state DEACTIVATED through the following
transitions, independently of the reason for the disconnection:

 - state: DEACTIVATING, reason: UNKNOWN
 - state: DEACTIVATED,  reason: DEVICE_DISCONNECTED

For VPNs, a disconnection is always user-initiated, and the active
connection states emitted are:

 - state: DEACTIVATING, reason: USER_DISCONNECTED
 - state: DEACTIVATED,  reason: USER_DISCONNECTED

This difference poses problems for clients that want to handle device
and VPNs in the same way, especially because WireGuard is implemented
as a device, but is logically a VPN.

Let NMActRequest translate the USER_REQUESTED device state reason to
USER_DISCONNECTED active connection state reason, in case of
disconnection.

This is an API change, but the previous behavior of reporting generic
uninformative reasons seems a bug. See for example
nmc_activation_get_effective_state(), which inspects the AC state
reason and in case it's generic (DEVICE_DISCONNECTED), it considers
the device state instead.

3cdce71b95 dispatch dns-change dispatcher event
Introducing new dispatcher event -- `dns-change` which will be emitted when

a25e6a27a5 main: don't limit upper bound of pid when checking pidfile
This commit removes the upper bound check for the PID, letting NetworkManager recognize a PID from the pidfile higher than 2^16.
The PID limit is often set higher than 2^16 (65536) on 64-bit systems, resulting in the pidfile being ignored and subsequently deleted if the currently running instance of NetworkManager has a pid higher than 2^16.

8a91b7beb4 device: log ACD conflicts
l3cfg emits a log for ACD conflicts. However, l3cfg is not aware of
what are the related NMDevice or the currently active connection, and
so it can't log the proper metadata fields (NM_DEVICE and
NM_CONNECTION) to the journal.

Instead, let NMDevice log about ACD collisions; in this way, it is
possible to get the message when filtering by device and connection.
For example:

 $ journalctl -e NM_CONNECTION=d1df47be-721f-472d-a1bf-51815ac7ec3d + NM_DEVICE=veth0
 <info> device (veth0): IP address 172.25.42.1 cannot be configured because it is already in use in the network by host 00:99:88:77:66:55
 <info> device (veth0): state change: ip-config -> failed (reason 'ip-config-unavailable', sys-iface-state: 'managed')

28e53fed89 nmcli: warn if daemon version mismatch
When updating NetworkManager to a new version, normally the service is
not restarted by the installer to avoid interrupting networking.
However, next nmcli invocation will use the updated version, but against
the older version of the daemon that is still running. Although this is
suposed to work, it is advisable that nmcli and daemon's versions are
the same. Emit a warning recommending restarting the daemon.

Add nmcli test to check the new feature. To avoid breaking the existing
tests, test-networkmanager-service now reports the same version than the
running nmcli except if it's instructed to report a different one.

Otherwise, if a VLAN link is deleted because the ethernet carrier-change

fb362e0583 manager: allow controller activation if device is deactivating
When activating a port connection it will require the controller
connection is active or a valid controller device candidate is available
for activation.

One of the conditions we consider for a controller device to be a valid
candidate for the connection is that it is not active, therefore we
should also consider as valid a device that is currently deactivating.
Otherwise, we could fail during the port activation just because the
deactivation of the controller device candidate didn't finish yet.

d414265ab1 nmcli: fix endless loop with --offline --ask
If --offline and --ask were used at the same time, and endless loop
showing the readline's prompt but without waiting for user's input
happened.

This was because when using --offline, all arguments are parsed and
resolved before running the g_main_loop. In nmc_readline_helper it was
checked that the main loop is running, so if g_main_loop_quit is called
we can stop waiting for user's input.

Fix this bug by continue polling for user input if the main loop is
running or if we are in offline mode.  Cancelling the user input is
still possible both in normal and offline mode with Ctrl+C or Ctrl+D.

Added a test case to verify that this still works after future changes.

efa63aef3a device: delete software device when software devices lose carrier
We delete devices when the connection goes down and NetworkManager
created the device earlier.

Software devices like bond/bridge/team default to ignoring carrier.
However, when configuring them to not ignore carrier
([device].ignore-carrier), they were not deleted when deactivating the
devices.

This adjusts commit d0c2a24b71 ('device: do not remove software devices
on initial disconnected (rh #1035814)'). Note that back then there was
no check whether the device has an activation queued, so it behaved
differently then.

When the software device enters the UNAVAILABLE state from UNMANAGED,
during cleanup we shouldn't delete the link.

5b8fdd25ab utils: extend connection matching function for UUID in controller
When matching two connections one might be using UUID and the other one
could be using interface-name for the controller property. When
recovering from a fresh start NM does not have any context and when
generating a connection we are using UUID as the controller.

It is always hard to guess what is the right candidate to pick but at
least something NM can do is checking if the UUID matches a connection
with the same controller interface-name. If there are no other
conflicts, then we can assume that is a good canditate to activate.

This is a follow up to `dc254f90e2b306700a0b81f7194e9b0438c62f4c`.

646e041523 dns: fix tracking of best ip config
When a IP configuration has type "best", it is the configuration with
the best (lowest) metric default route for the specific address
family. Therefore, there can be only one best configuration for
address family.

When a new configuration is added as best, make sure it is the only
one for the address family.

This reverts commit 0abc14b3a0.

Fixes: 0abc14b3a0 ('core: remove unused best_ip_config_[46] field in NMDnsManager')

keyfile: add a NetworkManager.conf option "keyfile.rename"
The default behavior is not to rename profiles. I guess, that makes
sense, as renaming a file when changing the "connection.id" could break
users who rely on the name.

My use case is the following. When I connect a Wi-Fi hotspot I use
`nmcli device wifi connect $SSID`, which -- as expected -- persists the
profile to "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/$SSID.nmconnection".
Later, I always update the profile's name to "w_$SSID" so I can see on
the name that this is wireless profile. I also want the filename to
reflect that change of name.

Add a configuration option for that. All the infrastructure
("force_rename" parameter) already exists.

keyfile: add option to nms_keyfile_writer_connection() to follow the preferred name
There was already a force_rename argument to nms_keyfile_writer_connection(), which
-- if TRUE -- means to always rename the file, if it exists.

What we also want, is to follow the change of a connection.id. So we don't want
to force a rename, if we already use the preferred name, but we also want to rename
otherwise.

Extend the boolean "force_rename" argument to a NMTernary, where NM_TERNARY_DEFAULT
now means to follow the preferred name.
