Changing "ipv4.route-table" and "ipv6.route-table" was not allowed
during reapply.
The main difficulty for supporting that is changing the sync-mode.
With route-table 0, we don't sync all tables but only the main table.
So, when reapply changes from full-sync to no-full-sync, it's slightly
more complicated.
But it's probably not too complicated either. The change from
no-full-sync to full-sync is simple: we just start doing a full-sync.
The reverse change is slightly more complicated, because we need to
do one last full-sync, to get rid of routes that we configured on those
other tables.
We no longer add these. If you use Emacs, configure it yourself.
Also, due to our "smart-tab" usage the editor anyway does a subpar
job handling our tabs. However, on the upside every user can choose
whatever tab-width he/she prefers. If "smart-tabs" are used properly
(like we do), every tab-width will work.
No manual changes, just ran commands:
F=($(git grep -l -e '-\*-'))
sed '1 { /\/\* *-\*- *[mM]ode.*\*\/$/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
sed '1,4 { /^\(#\|--\|dnl\) *-\*- [mM]ode/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
Check remaining lines with:
git grep -e '-\*-'
The ultimate purpose of this is to cleanup our files and eventually use
SPDX license identifiers. For that, first get rid of the boilerplate lines.
We built (among others) two libraries from the sources in "shared/nm-utils":
"libnm-utils-base.la" and "libnm-utils-udev.la".
It's confusing. Instead use directories so there is a direct
correspondence between these internal libraries and the source files.

It is preferable to treat IPv4 and IPv6 in a similar manner.
This moves the places where we differ down the call-stack.
It also make it clearer how IPv6 behaves differently. I think this
is a bug, but leave it for now.

Previously nm_ppp_manager_stop() would return a handle which
makes it easy to cancel the operation.
However, sometimes, we may want to cancel an operation based on
an GCancellable. So, extend nm_ppp_manager_stop() to hook it
with a cancellable.
Essentially, move the code from nm-modem.c to nm-ppp-manager-call.c,
where it belongs and where the functionality gets available to every
component.
Note the special error codes NM_UTILS_ERROR_CONNECTION_AVAILABLE_*.
This will be used to determine, whether the profile is fundamentally
incompatible with the device, or whether just some other properties
mismatch. That information will be importand during a plain `nmcli
connection up`, where NetworkManager searches all devices for a device
to activate. If no device is found (and multiple errors happened),
we want to show the error that is most likely relevant for the user.
Also note, how NMDevice's check_connection_compatible() uses the new
class field "device_class->connection_type_check_compatible" to simplify
checks for compatible profiles.
The error reason is still unused.
The majority of device implementations name their parent-class variable
"device_class". That also makes more sense as it is more consistant.
E.g. "parent" sounds like it's the direct parent, but that is not
the crucial point here. The crucial point at this place, is that we
access the NMDeviceClass typed pointer. Rename.
Previously, there were two functions nm_ppp_manager_stop_sync() and
nm_ppp_manager_stop_async().
However, stop-sync() would still kill the process asynchronously (with a
2 seconds timeout before sending SIGKILL).
On the other hand, stop-async() did pretty much the same thing as
sync-code, except also using the GAsyncResult.
Merge the two functions. Stopping the instance for the most part can be
done entirely synchrnous. The only thing that is asynchronous, is
to wait for the process to terminate. For that, add a new callback
argument to nm_ppp_manager_stop(). This replaces the GAsyncResult
pattern.
Also, always ensure that NetworkManager runs the mainloop at least as
long until the process really terminated. Currently we don't get that
right, and during shutdown we just stop iterating the mainloop. However,
fix this from point of view of NMPPPManager and register a wait-object,
that later will correctly delay shutdown.
Also, NMDeviceWwan cared to wait (asynchronously) until pppd really
terminated. Keep that functionality. nm_ppp_manager_stop() returns
a handle that can be used to cancel the asynchrounous request and invoke
the callback right away. However note, that even when cancelling the
request, the wait-object that prevents shutdown of NetworkManager is
kept around, so that we can be sure to properly clean up.

Thanks to the marvelous effort of the GNU compiler developer we can now
spare a couple of bits that could be used for more important things,
like this commit message. Standards commitees yet have to catch up.
NMSettings exposes a cached list of all connection. We don't need
to clone it. Note that this is not save against concurrent modification,
meaning, add/remove of connections in NMSettings will invalidate the
list.
However, it wasn't save against that previously either, because
altough we cloned the container (GSList), we didn't take an additional
reference to the elements.
This is purely a performance optimization, we don't need to clone the
list. Also, since the original list is of type "NMConnection *const*",
use that type insistently, instead of dependent API requiring GSList.
IMO, GSList is anyway not a very nice API for many use cases because
it requires an additional slice allocation for each element. It's
slower, and often less convenient to use.
Previously, we used the generated GDBusInterfaceSkeleton types and glued
them via the NMExportedObject base class to our NM types. We also used
GDBusObjectManagerServer.
Don't do that anymore. The resulting code was more complicated despite (or
because?) using generated classes. It was hard to understand, complex, had
ordering-issues, and had a runtime and memory overhead.
This patch refactors this entirely and uses the lower layer API GDBusConnection
directly. It replaces the generated code, GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, and
GDBusObjectManagerServer. All this is now done by NMDbusObject and NMDBusManager
and static descriptor instances of type GDBusInterfaceInfo.
This adds a net plus of more then 1300 lines of hand written code. I claim
that this implementation is easier to understand. Note that previously we
also required extensive and complex glue code to bind our objects to the
generated skeleton objects. Instead, now glue our objects directly to
GDBusConnection. The result is more immediate and gets rid of layers of
code in between.
Now that the D-Bus glue us more under our control, we can address issus and
bottlenecks better, instead of adding code to bend the generated skeletons
to our needs.
Note that the current implementation now only supports one D-Bus connection.
That was effectively the case already, although there were places (and still are)
where the code pretends it could also support connections from a private socket.
We dropped private socket support mainly because it was unused, untested and
buggy, but also because GDBusObjectManagerServer could not export the same
objects on multiple connections. Now, it would be rather straight forward to
fix that and re-introduce ObjectManager on each private connection. But this
commit doesn't do that yet, and the new code intentionally supports only one
D-Bus connection.
Also, the D-Bus startup was simplified. There is no retry, either nm_dbus_manager_start()
succeeds, or it detects the initrd case. In the initrd case, bus manager never tries to
connect to D-Bus. Since the initrd scenario is not yet used/tested, this is good enough
for the moment. It could be easily extended later, for example with polling whether the
system bus appears (like was done previously). Also, restart of D-Bus daemon isn't
supported either -- just like before.
Note how NMDBusManager now implements the ObjectManager D-Bus interface
directly.
Also, this fixes race issues in the server, by no longer delaying
PropertiesChanged signals. NMExportedObject would collect changed
properties and send the signal out in idle_emit_properties_changed()
on idle. This messes up the ordering of change events w.r.t. other
signals and events on the bus. Note that not only NMExportedObject
messed up the ordering. Also the generated code would hook into
notify() and process change events in and idle handle, exhibiting the
same ordering issue too.
No longer do that. PropertiesChanged signals will be sent right away
by hooking into dispatch_properties_changed(). This means, changing
a property in quick succession will no longer be combined and is
guaranteed to emit signals for each individual state. Quite possibly
we emit now more PropertiesChanged signals then before.
However, we are now able to group a set of changes by using standard
g_object_freeze_notify()/g_object_thaw_notify(). We probably should
make more use of that.
Also, now that our signals are all handled in the right order, we
might find places where we still emit them in the wrong order. But that
is then due to the order in which our GObjects emit signals, not due
to an ill behavior of the D-Bus glue. Possibly we need to identify
such ordering issues and fix them.
Numbers (for contrib/rpm --without debug on x86_64):
- the patch changes the code size of NetworkManager by
- 2809360 bytes
+ 2537528 bytes (-9.7%)
- Runtime measurements are harder because there is a large variance
during testing. In other words, the numbers are not reproducible.
Currently, the implementation performs no caching of GVariants at all,
but it would be rather simple to add it, if that turns out to be
useful.
Anyway, without strong claim, it seems that the new form tends to
perform slightly better. That would be no surprise.

If IPV6CP terminates before IPCP, pppd enters the RUNNING phase and we
start IP configuration without having an IP interface set, which
triggers assertions.
Instead, add a SetIfindex() D-Bus method that gets called by the
plugin when pppd becomes RUNNING. The method sets the IP ifindex of
the device and starts IP configuration.

We also unconditionally use them with autotools.
Also, the detection for have_version_script does
not seem correct to me. At least, it didn't work
with clang.
Some targets are missing dependencies on some generated sources in
the meson port. These makes the build to fail due to missing source
files on a highly parallelized build.
These dependencies have been resolved by taking advantage of meson's
internal dependencies which can be used to pass source files,
include directories, libraries and compiler flags.
One of such internal dependencies called `core_dep` was already in
use. However, in order to avoid any confusion with another new
internal dependency called `nm_core_dep`, which is used to include
directories and source files from the `libnm-core` directory, the
`core_dep` dependency has been renamed to `nm_dep`.
These changes have allowed minimizing the build details which are
inherited by using those dependencies. The parallelized build has
also been improved.
Instead of having 3 properties @gateway, @never_default and @has_gateway
on NMIP4Config/NMIP6Config that determine the default-route, track the
default-route as a regular route.
The gateway setting is the configuration knob for the default-route.
Since an NMIP4Config/NMIP6Config instance only has one gateway property,
it cannot track more then one default-routes (see related bug rh#1445417).
Especially with policy routing, it might be interesting to configure a
default-route in multiple tables.
Also, later it might be interesting to allow adding default-routes as
regular static routes in a connection, so that the user can configure additional
route parameters for the default-route or add default-routes in multiple tables.
With this patch, default-routes now have a rt_source property according to their
origin.
Also, the previous commits of this branch broke handling of the
default-route :) . That should be working now again.
Reduce the use of NM_PLATFORM_GET / nm_platform_get() to get
the platform singleton instance.
For one, this is a step towards supporting namespaces, where we need
to use different NMNetns/NMPlatform instances depending on in which
namespace the device lives.
Also, we should reduce our use of singletons. They are difficult to
coordinate on shutdown. Instead there should be a clear order of
dependencies, expressed by owning a reference to those singelton
instances. We already own a reference to the platform singelton,
so use it and avoid NM_PLATFORM_GET.

This argument is only relevant when the NMActStageReturn argument
indicates NM_ACT_STAGE_RETURN_FAILURE. In all other cases it is ignored.
Rename the argument to make the meaning clearer. The argument is passed
through several layers of code, it isn't obvious that this argument only
matters for the failure case. Also, the distinct name makes it easier
to distinguish from other uses of the "reason" name.
While at it, do some drive-by cleanup:
- use g_return_*() instead of g_assert() to have a more graceful
assertion.
- functions like dhcp4_start() don't need to return a failure reason.
Most callers don't care, and the caller who does can determine the
proper reason.
- allow omitting the out-argument via NM_SET_OUT().
Moving the PPP manager to a separate plugin that is loaded when needed
has the advantage of slightly reducing memory footprint and makes it
possible to install the PPP support only where needed.

This makes it easier to install the files with proper names.
Also, it makes the makefile rules slightly simpler.
Lastly, the documentation is now generated into docs/api, which makes it
possible to get rid of the awkward relative file names in docbook.
Keep the include paths clean and separate. We use directories to group source
files together. That makes sense (I guess), but then we should use this
grouping also when including files. Thus require to #include files with their
path relative to "src/".
Also, we build various artifacts from the "src/" tree. Instead of having
individual CFLAGS for each artifact in Makefile.am, the CFLAGS should be
unified. Previously, the CFLAGS for each artifact differ and are inconsistent
in which paths they add to the search path. Fix the inconsistency by just
don't add the paths at all.
We only needed proper glib enum types for having properties
and signal arguments. These got all converted to plain int,
so no longer generate such an enum type.
Had to rename "nm-enum-types.h" because it works badly with
"libnm/nm-enum-types.h". Maybe I could fix that differently,
but duplicate names is anyway error prone.
Note that "nm-core-enum-types.h" is already taken too, so
"nm-src-enum-types.h" it is.
We should enable tests by default, probably we even should drop
the configure flags to enable tests and just always build them.
Anyway, at this point there is no use in guarding check-local
with a check for ENABLE_TESTS. A user who does't want to run
the tests, should just not call `make check`.
An interface would make sense to allow the actual device-factory to inherit
from another type.
However, glib interfaces make code much harder to follow and less
efficient. The device factory shall be a very simple type with meta data
about supported device types and the ability to create device instances.
There is no need to make this an interface implementation, instead just
let the factories inherit from NM_TYPE_DEVICE_FACTORY directly.
Some TTY drivers or devices appear to ignore port speed and always
report zero. Technically this means the port is hung up and control
lines should be disconnected, but with USB devices many of the serial
port attributes are meaningless and ignored by some devices.
pppd requires the port's speed to be greater than zero, and will
exit immediately when that is not the case, even though these
modems will work fine. Passing an explicit speed to pppd in this
case works around the issue, as pppd attempts to set that speed
on the port and doesn't actually care if that operation fails.

First of all, G_LOG_DOMAIN only matters when using g_log() directly.
Inside core, we always want to log via nm-logging. Every call to a
g_log() is a bug in the first place (like a failed assertion that logs
a g_critical() during g_return_if_fail()).
So, for all practic purposes, the logging domain is not used.
For nm-logging, the G_LOG_DOMAIN has no effect. Unless we find a proper
use of this domain, G_LOG_DOMAIN should not differ from what the rest of
core.
- use _NM_GET_PRIVATE() and _NM_GET_PRIVATE_PTR() everywhere.
- reorder statements, to have GObject related functions (init, dispose,
constructed) at the bottom of each file and in a consistent order w.r.t.
each other.
- unify whitespaces in signal and properties declarations.
- use NM_GOBJECT_PROPERTIES_DEFINE() and _notify()
- drop unused signal slots in class structures
- drop unused header files for device factories
