Note that in NetworkManager API (D-Bus, libnm, and nmcli),
the features are called "feature-xyz". The "feature-" prefix
is used, because NMSettingEthtool possibly will gain support
for options that are not only -K|--offload|--features, for
example -C|--coalesce.
The "xzy" suffix is either how ethtool utility calls the feature
("tso", "rx"). Or, if ethtool utility specifies no alias for that
feature, it's the name from kernel's ETH_SS_FEATURES ("tx-tcp6-segmentation").
If possible, we prefer ethtool utility's naming.
Also note, how the features "feature-sg", "feature-tso", and
"feature-tx" actually refer to multiple underlying kernel features
at once. This too follows what ethtool utility does.
The functionality is not yet implemented server-side.
It generates the following warning:
libnm/nm-autoptr.h:25: Error: NM: identifier not found on the first line:
* Note that you might use this header with older versions of libnm
Fixes: ff8e563365
"nm-autoptr.h" is done in a way that allows you to copy the header
in your source tree to support older versions of libnm, that didn't
contain the header yet. For example, we might want to use it in
network-manager-applet, but we don't want to bump the libnm dependency
to 1.11.2+ only to get this functionality.
Note that G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC() was added in glib 2.43.4,
and requires compiler support for the cleanup attribute. The compiler
support is taken as given, because we rely on it already. However,
NetworkManager and network-manager-applet still don't depend on a glib
version recent enough to provide these macros. To actually use them
(*inside*) NetworkManager/network-manager-applet, we either would have
to bump the glib minimal dependency, or reimplement g_autoptr in
/shared/nm-utils/nm-glib.h compat header.
