When adding an IPv4 address, kernel automatically adds a local route.
This is done by fib_add_ifaddr(). Note that if the address is
IFA_F_SECONDARY, then the "src" is the primary address. That means, with
nmcli connection add con-name t type ethernet ifname t autoconnect no \
ipv4.method manual ipv6.method disabled \
ipv4.addresses '192.168.77.10/24, 192.168.77.11/24'
we get two routes:
"local 192.168.77.10 dev t table local proto kernel scope host src 192.168.77.10"
"local 192.168.77.11 dev t table local proto kernel scope host src 192.168.77.10"
Our code would only generate instead:
"local 192.168.77.10 dev t table local proto kernel scope host src 192.168.77.10"
"local 192.168.77.11 dev t table local proto kernel scope host src 192.168.77.11"
Afterwards, this artificial route will be leaked:
#!/bin/bash
set -vx
nmcli connection delete t || :
ip link delete t || :
ip link add name t type veth peer t-veth
nmcli connection add con-name t type ethernet ifname t autoconnect no ipv4.method manual ipv4.addresses '192.168.77.10/24, 192.168.77.11/24' ipv6.method disabled
nmcli connection up t
ip route show table all dev t | grep --color '^\|192.168.77.11'
sleep 1
nmcli device modify t -ipv4.addresses 192.168.77.11/24
ip route show table all dev t | grep --color '^\|192.168.77.11'
ip route show table all dev t | grep -q 192.168.77.11 && echo "the local route 192.168.77.11 is still there, because NM adds a local route with wrong pref-src"
It will also be leaked because in the example above ipv4.route-table is
unset, so we are not in full route sync mode and the local table is not
synced.
This was introduced by commit 3e5fc04df3 ('core: add dependent local
routes configured by kernel'), but it's unclear to me why we really need
this. Drop it again and effectively revert commit 3e5fc04df3 ('core:
add dependent local routes configured by kernel').
I think this "solution" is still bad. We need to improve our route sync
approach with L3Cfg rework. For now, it's probably good enough.

This effectively reverts commit cd89026c5f ('core: add dependent
multicast route configured by kernel for IPv6').
It's not clear to me why this was done or why it would be correct.
True, kernel automatically adds multicast route like
multicast ff00::/8 dev $IFACE table local proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
But NetworkManager ignores all multicast routes for now. So the dependent
routes cannot contain multicast routes as they are not handled. Also,
the code added a unicast route, so I don't understand why the comment
is talking about multicast.
This seems just wrong. Drop it.
Watch for NMSettingConnection changes and creation signals and convert
them to IWD format and write them to the configured IWD profile storage
directory. The logic is off by default and gets enabled when the new
iwd-config-path setting in nm.conf's [main] group is set to a path to
an existing directory.
The idea here is that when a user edits an NM connection profile, the
change is immediately mirrored in IWD since IWD watches its
configuration directory using inotify. This way NM clients can be used
to edit 802.1x settings, the PSK passphrase or the SSID -- changes that
would previously not take effect with the IWD backend.
Some precautions are taken to not make connections owned by a user
available to other users, such connections are not converted at all.
In all other cases where a connection cannot be converted sufficiently
well to the IWD format, for various reasons, we also give up and not
mirror these connections.
Due to IWD limitations and design differences with NM this logic has
many problems where it may not do its task properly. It's meant to work
on a best-effort and "better than nothing" basis, but it should be safe
in that it shouldn't delete users data or reveal secrets, etc. The most
obvious limitation is that there can be multiple NM connections
referring to the same SSID+Security tuple and only one IWD profile can
exist because the filename is based on only the SSID+Security type. We
already had one NM connection selected for each IWD KnownNetwork and
referenced by a pointer, so we ignore changes in NM connections other
than that selected one.
Add code that can take an NMConnection and convert it to the IWD
network config file format so as to be able to mirror NM connection
profiles to IWD connection profiles and make basic editing IWD
profile possible from nm-connection-editor. The focus here is on 802.1x
settings.

The goal of this code is to detect python, but prefer python3 while
also allowing the user to override the path.
That did not work in all cases, due to what seems like a bug in
AM_PATH_PYTHON(). AM_PATH_PYTHON() is documented to ignore failure
if [action-if-not-found] is given. So one might assume that:
AM_PATH_PYTHON([3], [], [PYTHON=])
if test -z "$PYTHON"; then
AM_PATH_PYTHON([], [], [PYTHON=python])
fi
first tries to look for v3, and if that fails search for any python
interpreter. That did not work however with:
$ ./configure PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2
...
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking whether /usr/bin/python2 version is >= 3... no
configure: error: Python interpreter is too old
because the first AM_PATH_PYTHON() is fatal.
Work around that.

Imaging you track a list of NMRefString instances. You could
directly expose them as strv array, but then you need a way
from the string back to the NMRefString instance.
That's easy to do. Add NM_REF_STRING_UPCAST() for that.
Previously, NMRefString was the public part of the struct, while
there was an internal RefString struct with private fields.
That might make sense if we would need to preserve some stable ABI, but
we don't because this is all internal (unstable) API. It also might
make sense to hide fields, but in practice that is not necessary
because the leading underscore is indicator enough that these are
private fields that are not supposed to be touched (unless you really
know what you do). So, drop RefString and move all fields in the public
NMRefString. The advantage is that we can later inline certain trivial
functions, that we otherwise couldn't.
Also, drop the "str" pointer and only use the "str" array field. The
pointer existed so that during nm_ref_string_new_len() we could create
a lookup needle with external str pointer. That is now solved
differently by using "len == G_MAXSIZE" as indicator that this is
a special lookup instance. The advantage is that we save one pointer
field per NMRefString, that we reduce the redundancy of the data, and
that we don't need the additional indirection.
NMRefString has only const fields itself, and all operations (except
ref/unref) don't mutate the instance. As such, the type is already
immutable, and using "const" is redundant and unnecessary.
Drop "const" from all API of NMRefString.
The script runs with "set -e", as such `cmd && r=ok` seems wrong.
It worked apparently, but I don't understand why. Anyway, change
it.

See also commit 00e3fc036a ('clients/tests: ensure that we run nmcli
before client tests for LTO').
With the latest rework that code was dropped and tests (with LTO) are
broken as they hit a timeout (aside taking much longer).

Originally, we would define G_LOG_DOMAIN via CFLAGS arguments.
Since commit 341b6e0704 ('all: change G_LOG_DOMAIN to "nm"') we would
instead set it in source and uniformly define it as "nm".
The reasons are that most parts of our source should not use g_log() directly,
and there is an aim to avoid special CFLAGS to simplify the build setup.
However, dispatcher indeed uses g_log() for logging, so the value there
is important.
Fix that, but this time by setting the define in source not via
CFLAGS.

When using IWD-side autoconnect mode (current default), in .deactivate()
and .deactivate_async() refrain from commanding IWD to actually
disconnect until the device is managed. Likely the device is already
disconnected but in any case it's up to IWD to decide in this mode.
Calling IWD device's .Disconnect() D-Bus method has the side effect of
disabling autoconnect and doing this while NM is still in platform-init
was unexpectedly leaving the device without autoconnect after
platform-init was done, according to user reports.

Use g_cancellable_connect(). That approach better handles the case where the
cancellable is already cancelled. Theoretically, we could extend that
approach further and make it thread-safe, but in the current form is
nm_utils_invoke_on_idle() not thread-safe.
While at it, also cleanup duplicate code during completion.
We now get unit test failures hitting this timeout. That is
likely a new bug introduced somewhere, but to rule out that
the timeout is simply too short, increase it.
Ignore a rd.znet argument without subchannels. When using net.ifnames
(the default), subchannels are used to build the interface name, which
is required to match the right connection.
With net.ifnames=0 the interface name is build using a prefix and a
global counter and therefore in theory it is possible to omit
subchannels. However, without subchannels there won't be a udev rule
that renames the interface and so it can't work.

We should write our CONTRIBUTING files in markdown syntax, because
it's nice to read a plain text and gets nicely rendered.
However, if the file doesn't have a ".md" extension, gitlab's
web interface shows it as plain text file.
Rename the file.
This possibly breaks links like [1], but referring to a branch name
(and not a commit ID or a tag) is anyway fragile. Hence, I don't try
to fix that by adding a symlink or similar, because I think that just
makes it more confusing.
