2df9da3d2b nm-initrd-generator: rework NBFT HFI DHCP detection
There are several flags specified in the NVMe Boot Specification
that may indicate DHCP was used to acquire information during the
pre-OS phase. This commit considers these additional sources,
based on actual NBFT table contents from different systems.

Although we've seen slight variations in firmware implementations
regarding the HFI IP Origin values when DHCP was configured, the
new set of rules still align with expectations.

ca7d42cd7a l3cfg: don't reset the ACD probe timestamp during timer events
acd_data->probing_timestamp_msec indicates when the probing
started. It is used in different places to calculate the timeout for
certain operations. In particular, it is used to detect that the probe
creation took too long when handling the ACD_STATE_CHANGE_MODE_TIMEOUT
event.

If we reset this timestamp at every timer event, we'll never hit the
probe creation timeout. Therefore, the l3cfg will keep trying forever
to create the probe.
See: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/networkmanager/2025-July/000418.html

Fix this by not updating the timestamp during a timeout event.

f4c5ded09b dhcp: fix parsing of the search list option
The DHCP search list option (119) can use the "message compression"
algorithm specified in RFC 1035 section 4.1.4 to reduce the size of
the message in presence of subdomains that appear multiple times.

When using the compression a label starts with:

    +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
    | 1  1|                OFFSET                   |
    +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

where the offset points to a previous domain.

Previously, the parsing code was taking the lower 6 bits of the first
byte, shifting them left 16 bits, and adding the next byte. Instead,
the shift should be of 8 bits.

The effect of this bug was that when the offset was greater than 255,
it was incorrectly parsed as a number larger than the message size,
and the parsing failed.

Note that while a single DHCP option can be at most 255 bytes, a DHCP
message can contain multiple instances of the same option. The
receiver must concatenate all the occurrences according to RFC 3396
and parse the resulting buffer.

4deee49763 core: accept hostnames longer than 64 characters from DNS lookup
When resolving the system hostname from DNS lookup, we use
nm_utils_validate_hostname() which checks that the result is a valid
hostname. A valid hostname is at most 64 characters on Linux. Anything
longer is discarded.

However, the reverse DNS lookup doesn't return a hostname, it returns
a DNS name. The DNS name can have multiple labels, each limited to 63
characters. The maximum length of the DNS name is 253 characters.

If the result is longer than 64 characters because it has multiple
labels, we should still accept it, provided that it is a valid DNS
name. Then when setting the hostname in the system, only the first
label will be kept.

c647c060d6 device: accept changes to the bond-port.vlans during reapply
Commit c5d1e35f99 ('device: support reapplying bridge-port VLANs')
didn't update can_reapply_change() to accept the "bridge-port.vlans"
property during a reapply. So, it was only possible to change the
bridge port VLANs by updating the "bridge.vlan-default-pvid" property
and doing a reapply. Fix that.

956f9ba365 bridge: fix reapplying port VLANs
If the bridge default-pvid is zero, it means that the default PVID is
disabled. That is, the bridge PVID is not propagated to ports.

Currently NM tries to merge the existing bridge VLANs on the port with
the default PVID from the bridge, even when the PVID is zero. This
causes an error when setting the new VLAN list in the kernel, because
it rejects VLAN zero.

Skip the merge of the default PVID when zero.

d16a62da2b device: don't disable IPv6 in stage3 on reapply
Currently, when a call to Reapply() results in stage3 being re-run, IPv6
ends up messed up. Like this:

  $

  NetworkManager[666]: <debug> [1751286095.2070] device[c95ca04a69467d81] (eth0): ip4: reapply...

  NetworkManager[666]: <debug> [1751286095.2105] platform-linux: sysctl: setting '/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/disable_ipv6' to '1' (current value is '0')

Not only is this unnecessary because addr-gen-mode already has the
desired value (as is logged), but also wipes off all IPv6 configuration.
This is fine on initial configuration, but not on Reapply().

Let's look at the device state first: if we've progressed past ip-config
state, then we can't possibly ever touch the offending sysctls. It's
okay -- we don't need to: addr-gen-mode is going to be set right if we
went through ip-config before.

9e599f07b0 nmcli: accept certain IP settings on port connections
Commit bb850fda0e ('nmcli: connection: process port-type, type
and controller first') started correctly rejecting IP configuration
on port connections.

However, previously nmcli would accept IP parameters for ports when
using a specific parameters order. To avoid breaking user scripts that
may have relied on this behavior, introduce a backward compatibility
quirk.

Specifically, nmcli accepts a disabled/ignore IP method on a port
connection. For any other IP setting on a port connection, a specific
error message is now shown.

ddfc2696e3 device: allow reapplying the sriov.preserve-on-down property
It is useful when there is an already active device and we want to
bring it down preserving the SR-IOV VFs. For example:

  $ nmcli connection add type ethernet ifname eni1np1 sriov.total-vfs 2 ipv4.method disabled ipv6.method disabled
  $ nmcli connection up ethernet-eni1np1

  $ ip link show eni1np1
  342: eni1np1: <BROADCAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
      link/ether 6e:cf:f0:08:74:f4 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
      vf 0     link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ...
      vf 1     link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ...

  $ nmcli device modify eni1np1 sriov.preserve-on-down yes
  $ nmcli connection down ethernet-eni1np1

  $ ip link show eni1np1
  342: eni1np1: <BROADCAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
      link/ether 6e:cf:f0:08:74:f4 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
      vf 0     link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ...
      vf 1     link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ...

8a5e7014d6 libnm,nmcli: add sriov.preserve-on-down property
Add a new "sriov.preserve-on-down" property that controls whether
NetworkManager preserves the SR-IOV parameters set on the device when
the connection is deactivated, or whether it resets them to their
default value. The SR-IOV parameters are those specified in the
"sriov" setting, like the number of VFs to create, the eswitch
configuration, etc.

dd0ca122e3 ovs: set the tun interface up before stage3
When using the netdev datapath, we wait that the tun link appears, we
call nm_device_set_ip_ifindex() (which also brings the link up) and
then we check that the link is ready, i.e. that udev has announced the
link and the MAC address is correct. After that, we schedule stage3
(ip-config).

In this, there is a race condition that occurs sometimes in NMCI test
ovs_datapath_type_netdev_with_cloned_mac. In rare conditions,
nm_device_set_ip_ifindex() bring the interface up but then ovs-vswitch
changes again the flags of the interface without IFF_UP. The result is
that the interface stays down, breaking communications.

To fix this, we need to always call nm_device_bring_up() after the tun
device is ready. The problem is that we can't do it in
_netdev_tun_link_cb() because that function is already invoked
synchronously from platform code.

Instead, simplify the handling of the netdev datapath. Every
"link-changed" event from platform is handled by
_netdev_tun_link_cb(), which always schedule a delayed function
_netdev_tun_link_cb_in_idle(). This function just assigns the
ip-ifindex to the device if missing, and starts stage3 if the link is
ready. While doing so, it also bring the interface up.

1c1f31fdd4 ipv4: remove the forwarding=ignore value
It is not clear whether we can actually respect this value. For example,
we should not restore the kernel's default value on deactivation or
device's state change, but it is unclear if we can ensure that we'll
still have the connection's configuration in all possible changes of
state.

Also, it is unclear if it's a desirable value that we want to support.
At this point it is mostly clear that trying to configure NM managed
devices externally always ends being dissapointing, no matter how hard
we try.

Remove this value for now, while we discuss whether it makes sense or
not, so it doesn't become stable in the new 1.54 release.
