If the automatically selected channel for an AP is set as NO-IR in the
current regulatory domain, the hotspot connection will fail to
start. NO-IR means that any mechanisms that initiate radiation are not
permitted on this channel, this includes sending probe requests or
modes of operation that require beaconing such as AP. Skip channels
with the NO-IR flag.
Previously, there was "temporary-not-available" mechanism in NML3Cfg,
which aimed to handle IPv6 routes with prefsrc. Theoretically, that
mechanism may have been extended to other use-cases, like IPv4 routes
with prefsrc. What it attempted to handle, is the inability to configure
such routes, unless the respective prefsrc address is configured and
non-tentative. However, the address that we are waiting for, could also
be on another interface, so that mechanism wasn't applicable. This is
now replaced by _routes_watch_ip_addrs(). It seems there isn't anything
useful left for the "temporary-not-available" mechanism and it can go,
except...
We want to log a warning when we are unable to configure a route. Also,
in the future we might want to know when the IP configuration is
degradated due to inability to configure the desired routes (a condition
that we might want to expose to the user, not only via logging; or we
may want to react on that).
However, with prefsrc routes we don't know right away whether the
inability to configure the route right away indicates an actual problem,
or whether that will resolve itself (e.g. after the address passes
DAD/ACD, after we received an DHCP lease or after the address was
configured on another interface). Consequently, to know whether the
current inability to configure such a route is a problem, we need to
know the larger context. nm_platform_ip_route_sync() does not have that
context.
Instead, nm_platform_ip_route_sync() needs only do debug log about
failure to configure routes. It will now also return all the failed
routes to NML3Cfg, which can decide whether that is a problem.
This reworks the previous "temporary-not-available" mechanism to track
the state of the failed routes, to eventually decide whether there is an
actual problem (and log about it).
Another problem this solves is that since commit ('platform: always
reconfigure IP routes even if removed externally'), we will eagerly
re-try to configure the same route over and over. We cannot just spam
the log with warnings about the same failure on every commit. We need to
remember that we already logged about the problem and rate limit
warnings otherwise. This is what the new mechanism also achieves.
Indeed, all this is mostly for the sole benefit of logging better
warnings (and not duplicated).
This is the IPv6 equivalent of arp_ip_target option. It requires
arp_interval set and allow the user to specify up to 16 IPv6 addresses
as targets. By default, the list is empty.
The valid values for this option are 0 (off) and 1 (on). By default the
value is 1 (on). Please notice that this option is only compatible with
802.3AD mode.
The new arp_missed_max option valid range is 0-255 where value 0 means
not set. Please notice that this option is not compatible with 802.3AD,
balance-tlb and balance-alb modes.
There are many functions to replace properties of a link
(link_set_address, link_set_mtu, link_set_name, link_change,
etc.). Eventually, they will be replaced by a function that does
everything and removes all the code duplication.
That function will be named link_change(); rename the current
link_change() to link_change_extra().
The onlink flag is part of each next hop.
When NetworkManager configures ECMP routes, we won't support that. All
next hops of an ECMP route must share the same onlink flag. That is fine
and fixed by this commit.
What is not fine, is that we don't track the rtnh_flags flags in
NMPlatformIP4RtNextHop, and consequently our nmp_object_id_cmp() is
wrong.

The major point of NMDedupMultiIndex is that it can de-duplicate
the objects. It thus makes sense the everybody is using the same
instance. Make the multi-idx instance of NMPlatform configurable.
This is not used outside of unit tests, because the daemon currently
always creates one platform instance and everybody then re-uses the
instance of the platform.
While this is (currently) only used by tests, and that the performance
optimization of de-duplicating is irrelevant for tests, this is still
useful. The test can then check whether two separate NMPlatform objects
shared the same instance and whether it was de-duplicated.
In kernel, the valid range for the weight is 1-256 (on netlink this is
expressed as u8 in rtnh_hops, ranging 0-255).
We need an additional value, to represent
- unset weight, for non-ECMP routes in kernel.
- in libnm API, to express routes that should not be merged as ECMP
routes (the default).
Extend the type in NMPlatformIP4Route.weight to u16, and fix the code
for the special handling of the numeric range.
Also the libnm API needs to change. Modify the type of the attribute on
D-Bus from "b" to "u", to use a 32 bit integer. We use 32 bit, because
we already have common code to handle 32 bit unsigned integers, despite
only requiring 257 values. It seems better to stick to a few data types
(u32) instead of introducing more, only because the range is limited.

For MACsec interfaces, kernel announces the parent ifindex in the
generic IFLA_LINK netlink attribute, which we save in
NMPlatformLink.parent. There is no need to have a dedicate member in
NMPlatformLnkMacsec.
The dedicate member was never set and during a restart of
NetworkManager the parent of the MACsec device could be unset leading
to a failed assertion:
act_stage2_config: assertion 'parent' failed

We put all these structs inside the tagged union NMPObject.
Also, in a sense NMPlatformObject is the base "type" of all
these structs, meaning, it should be able to up and downcast.
Ensure the alignment matches.
This helps to avoid "-Wcast-align" warnings when trying to cast
a (NMPlatformObject*) to another (NMPlatformXXX *) type. Something
we commonly do.
Support managing the loopback interface through NM as the users want to
set the proper mtu for loopback interface when forwarding the packets.
Additionally, the IP addresses, DNS, route and routing rules are also
allowed to configure for the loopback connection profiles.

We sometimes have functions foo() and foo_full(), in which case
foo() has fewer arguments and just calls foo_full(). The "full"
function here is the more powerful one, and foo() is implemented
in terms of the former.
nm_platform_ip4_route_cmp_full() and m_platform_ip4_route_cmp() inverted
that pattern. The "_full" there stands for the full comparison, to not
allowing to select the comparison type.
That inconsistency is ugly. Also, these wrappers were used at only few
places. Let's drop them.
While at it, also drop nm_platform_qdisc_cmp() and rename
nm_platform_qdisc_cmp_full(). Here cmp()/cmp_full() followed the common
pattern foo()/foo_full(), but it's still hardly used and unnecessary.
When adding a new route we need to consider it contains extra nexthops
i.e it is a ECMP route. As we cannot modify the NMPObject once created,
we need to pass the extra nexthops as an argument.
We cannot use the original NMPObject because normalization is happening
during when adding the route.
When reading from netlink an ECMP IPv4 route, we need to parse the
multiple nexthops. In order to do that, we are introducing
NMPlatformIP4RtNextHop struct.
The first nexthop information will be kept at the original
NMPlatformIP4Route and the new property n_nexthops will indicate how
many nexthops we need to consider.
Later, we should move all such objects. And we should rename
the API to have a unique prefix, like "NMPPlObjIP[4]Address".
This is just a first step that introduces more inconsistencies than it
solves. It will get better afterwards.
On netlink API, the attribute is indeed u32. However, this is an ifindex
which in most other kernel APIs and in NetworkManager code is a signed
integer. Note that of course kernel would only ever assign numbers that
are valid ifindexes, thus in the suitable range.
Previously, nm_platform_ip_address_sync() would always add the "IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE"
flag. Add a way to let the caller control that.
Add a flags argument, with a new flag "with-noprefixroute". By default
(with flags "none"), nm_platform_ip_address_sync() would no longer
add "IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE" flag, but the caller can now opt-in to that.
The purpose is that on "lo" interface we will want to let kernel
handle the prefix route. So have a per-ifindex opt-in for controlling
this.
During nm_platform_ip_address_flush() we use "none" flags, because the
function anyway doesn't add any addresses, so it wouldn't matter.
There is no change in behavior.

This flag won't be used. Instead we will pass a flag to
nm_platform_ip_route_sync() to disable addition of the prefix route
flag.
This reverts commit bd84ae4dc5.
- name things related to `in_addr_t`, `struct in6_addr`, `NMIPAddr` as
`nm_ip4_addr_*()`, `nm_ip6_addr_*()`, `nm_ip_addr_*()`, respectively.
- we have a wrapper `nm_inet_ntop()` for `inet_ntop()`. This name
of our wrapper is chosen to be familiar with the libc underlying
function. With this, also name functions that are about string
representations of addresses `nm_inet_*()`, `nm_inet4_*()`,
`nm_inet6_*()`. For example, `nm_inet_parse_str()`,
`nm_inet_is_normalized()`.

Since the generic netlink API does (currently) not support notifications
about changes of the MPTCP addresses, we won't get notifications when
they change, and it seems wrong to put such things in the NMPlatform
cache.
We can just get the list of endpoints by polling, so add a function
nm_platform_mptcp_addrs_dump() for that.
Also, add nm_platform_mptcp_addr_update() which can add/remove/update
MPTCP addresses.
We already have two hash functions for MPTCP addresses:
nmp_object_id_hash*() which compares the identity of objects
and nm_platform_mptcp_addr_hash*(), which compares all fields.
There is also a need to hash only the address. Add it. Will be used
next.
Since we don't get netlink notifications when the MPTCP endpoints
change, we don't cache them. And since we don't cache them,
there is less need to mark whether they were received from kernel
or created internally.
sysfs is deprecated and kernel people will not add new bond options to
sysfs. Netlink is a stable API and therefore is the right method to
communicate with kernel in order to set the link options.
`nm_platform_ip_address_sync()` likes to add IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE flag
for all addresses, regardless of `a_ifi_flags` property. By setting this
boolean, that automatism can be suppressed, and the noprefixroute flag
does not get added automatically.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/merge_requests/1307
An NMPObject is hashable, can be compared and printed. That is useful.
Make an NMPObject for MPTCP addresses. It will hold the content of
MPTCP_PM_ATTR_ADDR netlink attribute. But like other NMPObject types it
will also be used to represent the data as NetworkManager tracks it.
For generic netlink, the family-id is important. It changes when
loading/unloading a module, so we should not cache it indefinitely.
To get this right, takes some effort. For "nl80211", "nl802154"
and "wireguard", we only cache the family ID in relation to an
interface. If the module gets unloaded, the family ID also becomes
irrelevant and we need to re-fetch it the next time.
For generic families like "mptcp_pm" or "ethtool", they are commonly not
kernel modules and cannot be unloaded. So caching them would be
(probably) fine.
Still. Some generic netlink families emit notifications, and it will
be interesting to be able to handle them. Since that will be useful later,
start by doing something simple: let the generic netlink family also be
cached this way. Generic netlink will send notifications when a family gets
added/deleted, and we can use that to reliably cache the family ID.
We only care about a well-known set of generic families. Unlike libnl
(which has "struct genl_family" object to handle any family), we can hard
code the few we care about (NMPGenlFamilyType).
This adds the necessary infrastructure of NMLinuxPlatform to listen to
events on the generic netlink socket.
The genl types that we care about are well known. Add an enum
for them, so we can do a lookup by index.
To kernel, the corresponding names (like "wireguard") are also well
known. However, the family-id, that we need when using genl are
allocated dynamically. So we need to lookup the family-id, and by having
an enum for the genl type, we can do so generically.
On m68k we get a static assertion, that NMPlatformIP4Address.address
is not at the same offset as NMPlatformIPAddress.address_ptr.
On most architectures, the bitfields fits in a gap between the fields,
but not on m68k, where integers are 2-byte aligned.
