It is useful to bind the loopack connection to the loopback interface,
and it also allows activating it.
$ nmcli con up lo
Else "Error: no device found for connection 'lo'" is returned, because
connection_compatible() in libnm-glib/nm-device-generic.c wants the
connection to have an interface-name set.
Assumed connections shouldn't require touching the device, and the
device should was already set IFF_UP during stage2 (which is
skipped for assumed connections). Instead, what the code was really
trying to do, was to ensure tha the IP interface the device was
going to use was up.
The only cases where the IP interface might *not* be up after stage2
is where the IP interface is different than the device's interface,
like for Bluetooth, ADSL, WWAN, and PPPoE. Move the call to
nm_platform_link_set_up() into nm_device_set_ip_iface() which all
those device types will call.
Thus, only the device types that really need to up their IP interface
will do so, but other devices (including when activating assumed
connections) that don't need to do this, won't do it.
If the device has no IP configuration, is not a slave, and is not
a master, there's no point in generating a connection for it and
assuming that connection.
Fixes a problem where tun devices created by vpnc would be activated
with an empty assumed connection before NetworkManager could assign
the VPN IP config to it, and since IPv6 link-local timed out, the tun
device would be deactivated and VPN would be useless.
Assumed slave connections need to be added to their master devices,
which didn't used to happen because the devices activating assumed
connections jumped directly to stage3, bypassing all the master/slave
handling stuff.
Instead, make all assumed connections go through all activation stages,
but make sure that things which touch the device don't get done for
assumed connections. This requires moving the master/slave code out
of the override-able class methods because we need to call the
master/slave code for assumed connections, but we don't want to call
the override-able class activation methods.
If the device has a valid generated connection, it's already applied
and the device is already "activated" outside NM, so let activation
happen inside NM regardless of whether the device is available or not
according to NM.
With the methods 'auto' and 'link-local' we check now, that the device
has a usable IPv6 LL address configured (after DAD, no longer tentative).
We wait for up to 5 seconds, for a suitable LL address to appear.
Currently, if the address does not get ready, we don't create one and
IPv6 configuration fails.
This is relevant for the methods 'link-local' and 'auto'. In the latter
case, because we cannot send router solitations without link local
address.

In act_stage3_ip6_config_start, for IPv6 mode link-local, we check
if there is already an IPv6 address configured. If yes, we are
already done.
For now, as current workaround, if the LL does not exist, we
NM_ACT_STAGE_RETURN_STOP.
Later, we will POSTPONE and wait a timeout until we see a LL address
that is no longer TENTATIVE. The same should be done for method auto,
so that the device is usable to send router solitations (bgo#707155).

Previously, ignore-carrier devices were always in the unavailable state
until they were activated. This required some complicated code to keep
track of whether the device was available or not based on what connections
existed, whether those connections were static-IP, and whether the device
was ignore-carrier. Various bits of the code used nm_device_can_activate()
for two different purposes: (1) to determine if the device was available
on an L2 basis, which nm_device_can_activate() wasn't well-suited to, and
(2) whether a specific connection could be activated at a given time
based on ignore-carrier and whether the connection was static IP or not.
Remove that complexity and confusion by making ignore-carrier devices
always move to DISCONNECTED state, and simply refuse to activate
connections that require connectivity, but allow connections that don't
require connectivity. Also, when the device has no carrier, don't
add connections that require connectivity to the AvailableConnections
device property.
Use the new kernel physical_port_id interface property to recognize
when two devices are just virtual devices sharing the same physical
port, and refuse to bond/team multiple slaves on the same port.
If nm_device_enslave_slave() failed, the slave would log that it was
waiting for the master to activate (even if the master was already
active). Fix it to log an error and fail its activation instead.
When ActiveConnections take over authentication, it may mean that the
master active connection is still handling authentication when the
slave starts to activate. Thus the master device may still be in
DISCONNECTED state and not ready to enslave the slave.
We need to track the master active connection, since it may require authentication
or other operations to complete before the device actually starts activating.
When an interface is manually disconnected NM remembers that, and prevents
automatic activation of the device.
However, software devices are removed when they are disconnected, and thus
the state of the device is lost. We need to track autoconnect outside the
device - hash table of interface names not allowed to activate automatically.
Without that the device would be auto-activated again and again, even if
explicitly disconnected.
Test case:
$ nmcli con add type bond ifname bb con-name bb-con
$ nmcli con add type bond-slave ifname em1 con-name b1-con master bb
$ nmcli dev disconnect bb

When freeing one of the collections such as GArray, GPtrArray, GSList,
etc. it is common that the items inside the connections must be
freed/unrefed too.
The previous code often iterated over the collection first with
e.g. g_ptr_array_foreach and passing e.g. g_free as GFunc argument.
For one, this has the problem, that g_free has a different signature
GDestroyNotify then the expected GFunc. Moreover, this can be
simplified either by setting a clear function
(g_ptr_array_set_clear_func) or by passing the destroy function to the
free function (g_slist_free_full).

Although it's convenient in some places to have IP configs on all
connections, it makes more sense in other places to not have IP
configs on slaves. (eg, it's confusing for nmcli, etc, to report a
full NMSettingIP4Config on a slave device). So revert parts of the
earlier patch. However, it's still safe to assume that s_ip4 != NULL
if method != DISABLED, so some of the earlier simplifications can
stay.
Also, add nm_utils_get_ip_config_method(), which returns the correct
IP config method for a connection, whether the connection has IP4 and
IP6 settings objects or not, and use that to keep some more of the
simplifications from the earlier patch.
Make sure that all connections returned from NMSettings or created via
AddAndActivateConnection have an NMSettingIP4Config and an
NMSettingIP6Config, with non-NULL methods, and get rid of
now-unnecessary checks for those.
Also move the slaves-can't-have-IP-config checks into the
platform-independent code as well. This also gets rid of spurious
"ignoring IP4/IP6 configuration" warnings in ifcfg-rh when reading a
slave ifcfg file.
Partly based on a patch from Pavel.

To present a consistent API to clients, the IP-related properties
are only valid when the device has finished IP configuration. But
they are set before that happens, and their change notifications
were emitted before the IP configuration was considered valid.
Re-emit the change notifications when the device enters the IP_CHECK
state (and thus has IP configuration) and also when the device
deactivates to enusre clients have up-to-date IP-related property
information.
For the changes to has_ip_config(), the priv->ipX_state checks are
not necessary since the device will have valid IP configuration
when it enters the IP_CHECK state. The other checks can be
consolidated into a single statement.

If the user disabled IPv6 support in the kernel with "ipv6.disable=1" on the
kernel boot line, then any attempts to open IPv6 sockets (which libndp does)
will fail. This failed the entire connection, even if IPv6's "may-fail"
property was TRUE. Instead, just fail IPv6 and allow IPv4 to proceed. If
IPv4 fails or is disabled, then other logic will fail the entire connection.
When the IP[46]Config changes, a new configuration gets assembled.
Before, whenever the new configuration was different than the current
one, the IP[46]Config of the device was completely replaced. This also
meant, that the old dbus IP[46]Config object was removed and the new one
was exported.
Now instead of recreating a new configuration, it updates the existing
(already exported) configuration in-place.
Also, add new gobject properties 'gateway' and 'searches' to the config class,
they will be exported over dbus.
Also, whenever any of the exported properties changes, make sure that a
notify signal gets emitted.

If there are no specs, then the device can't match, so don't call the
virtual method (which might do work like building comparison strings
even when the list is empty).
Cache externally added IP details and represent them via the D-Bus
interface, and also merge them into the final device config to ensure
they aren't lost if DHCP renews or RA changes occur.
Add a flag to indicate that the device is owned by NM.
This is interesting for software/virtual devices, that were created by
NM and should be deleted when the interface gets deactivated.
This flag is not implemented as a glib property.
Maybe this flag can be consolidated with the managed flag. For now it is
unclear how to do it, so add this flag. It should be easy later to
replace it again.

libgsystem contains more than just the local allocation macros; in the
future we will likely want to make use of some of this such as the
structured logging support.
These devices don't have a platform device at creation time, thus
is_software wasn't getting set properly. Move the is_software
decision to constructed() because by this point, the iface and
ifindex (if present) will be known for all cases and thus we can
figure out if it's a software device or not in one place.
This backwards compatible patch adds the possibility to use new
nm_device_generate_connection() API via update_connection() virtual
method implementations in NMDevice subclasses.
Compatibility is achieved by first trying to use the older API and
match_l2_config() virtual method and only then moving on to
update_connection().
The nm_device_generate_connection() calls update_connection() to create
type-specific NMSetting instances and verifies the connection before
returning it. To avoid tinkering with NMSettingConnection in
update_connection() we use a class attribute called connection_type
which is used by nm_device_generate_connection() itself.
Known issues:
* nm_device_generate_connection() method doesn't implement DHCP lease
configuration matching. We shouldn't actually need it but if a use case
for that will come out, we can fix it later.
* nm_device_generate_connection() doesn't fill in the slave-specific
options.
* update_connection() is not implemented and connection_type is not set
in the subclasses. This will be fixed in individual patches.
* NMSetting's compare_property() implementations in combination with
NM_SETTING_COMPARE_FLAG_CANDIDATE are not yet fully ready thus rendering
false negatives in some cases. Same as above.

Whether an active connection is assumed or connected from scratch is
only important during nm_device_activate(). When the activation process
is set up, there's no difference from any other active connection.

Add a property on NMManager indicating that it is currently starting
up and activating startup-time/boot-time network connections.
"startup" is initially TRUE, and becomes FALSE once all NMDevices
report that they have no pending activity (eg, trying to activate,
waiting for a wifi scan to complete, etc). This is tracked via a new
NMDevice:has-pending-activity property, which is maintained partially
by the device itself, and partially by other parts of the code.
