While NMUtilsIPv6IfaceId is only 8 bytes large, it seems unidiomatic to
pass the plain struct around.
With a "const NMUtilsIPv6IfaceId *" argument it is more clear what the
meaning of this is.
Change to use pointers.
The preference for IPv6 routes was added in kernel v4.1,
22 June 2015. It is even in latest RHEL7 kernels.
Drop trying to be compatible with such old kernels.
We use extended IFA_FLAGS for IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR (IPv6) and
IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE (IPv4 and IPv6).
These flags for IPv4 were added to kernel 3.14, 30 March, 2014.
The flag for IPv4 was added to kernel 4.4, 11 January 2016.
Even latest RHEL-7 kernels have backport for IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE
for IPv4 (rh#1221311).
Drop this. The backward compatibility code paths are likely broken
anyway, and add considerable complexity.
This is supported since kernel 3.17, dated 5 October, 2014. Drop the backward
compatibility for that.
It's very hard to sensibly support a mode where we set the interface up,
but prevent kernel from enabling IPv6. We would hack around that by disabling
IPv6 altogether.
But these code paths are not tested and likely make no sense. And it's hard
to implement a sensible behavior in this case anyway.
The term "user_ipv6ll" is confusing and not something somebody familiar
with kernel or `ip -d link` would understand.
Also, it maps a boolean to addr-gen-mode "none" or "eui64", although
there are 2 more address generation modes in kernel.
Don't abstract the underlying API, and name things as they are in
kernel.
Add and call the new `nm_platform_link_get_permanent_address()` to
obtain `l_perm_address` via netlink or lookup via ethtool if kernel
does not expose the `IFLA_PERM_ADDRESS`.
And call the new `nm_platform_link_get_permanent_address()` in the unit
tests.

Replace the arguments "buf+length" of
`nm_platform_link_get_permanent_address()` with "NMPLinkAddress *out_addr"

Add `l_perm_address` in `NMPlatformLink` and add it to
`nm_platform_link_to_string`, `nm_platform_link_hash_update`,
`nm_platform_link_cmp` functions, and parse it from netlink.

Add a new flag to match deprecated addresses. An address is deprecated
when its preferred lifetime has expired but its valid lifetime has
not.
Address deprecation is one of the criteria for source address
selection in IPv6. For IPv4 the deprecation doesn't have any
real effect.
Note that this commit changes the behavior of
nm_ip_config_get_first_address(WITH_ADDRSTATE_NORMAL), since now
deprecated addresses are not returned. However this should not impact
existing callers since they either:
- request a IPv6 (WITH_ADDRTYPE_LINKLOCAL | WITH_ADDRSTATE_NORMAL)
address; IPv6 link-local addresses are supposed to have infinite
lifetimes;
or
- request a IPv6 (WITH_ADDRTYPE_NORMAL | WITH_ADDRSTATE__ANY)
address.
Introducing ethtool PAUSE support with:
* ethtool.pause-autoneg on/off
* ethtool.pause-rx on/off
* ethtool.pause-tx on/off
Limitations:
* When `ethtool.pause-autoneg` is set to true, the `ethtool.pause-rx`
and `ethtool.pause-tx` will be ignored. We don't have warning for
this yet.
Unit test case included.

Having two functions like link_set_x() and link_set_nox() it is not a
good idea. This patch is introducing nm_platform_link_change_flags().
This allow flag modification directly, so the developer does not need to
define the virtual functions all the time everywhere.
