The DHCP client has potentially a large number of options,
including boolean options (flags). It is cumbersome to implement
them one by one. Instead, make more prominent use of NMDhcpClientFlags.
Previously, we used nm_udev_utils_property_as_boolean(), which was
taken from g_udev_device_get_property_as_boolean(). That function
accepts "1" and "true" (with ASCII case insensitive).
When we parse a flag, there is no need to reject "no", "yes" or
"on"/"off" as invalid (and thus return FALSE). We have a boolean
parse method _nm_utils_ascii_str_to_bool(), which parses everything
that nm_udev_utils_property_as_boolean() accepts, and more.
Be liberal in what we accept, so use our general parse function.
g_key_file_set_comment() has slightly weird API that will fail to set a
comment if it doesn't find the group. This is the case here since we
haven't set any strings under the [Security] group yet.
Fixing this is kind of ugly, so for now just don't add that comment in
the case where we don't have the [Security] group.
There are cases where the settings didn't actually change and we just
want to ensure NM and iwd settings are in sync (one such case would be
when a setting was changed while iwd wasn't running, here we want to
synchronize all settings when starting up iwd).
We're already doing this and calling sett_conn_changed() from
mirror_connection() on all connections after adding an interface, the
actual settings synchronization code doesn't get executed though because
we're passing 0 as update_reason, which means we bail out early from
sett_conn_changed().
To make sure we actually update the iwd network configurations in that
case, too, pass UPDATE_REASON_UPDATE_NON_SECRET as the update reason to
sett_conn_changed(), which is the correct update reason in this case.
Quite obviously, we want to update the AutoConnect setting of the iwd
network in case the NM and iwd settings differ, not if they are the
same. So check for unequality here instead of equality, which fixes the
AutoConnect setting's synchronization.

This patch is introducing the wired setting accept-all-mac-addresses
property. The value corresponds to the kernel flag IFF_PROMISC.
When accept-all-mac-address is enabled, the interface will accept all
the packets without checking the destination mac address.

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.

NM should have been creating the IWD network config files with 0600
permission bits from the beginning since they can contain secrets.
g_key_file_save_to_file() uses 0666 which shouldn't be used even for the
temporary file before setting the final permissions.
Also try to preserve the last modification timestamp of the original
file because it is currently used by IWD when ranking networks for
autoconnect and updating it everytime NM rewrites the file could
potentially affect autoconnect priorities.
There was an attempt in the code to allow using existing system-owned
secrets based on whether the connection had ever succeeded before but
this wasn't implemented properly. Now decide whether existing secrets
are allowed and whether to pass the REQUEST_NEW flag to the secrets
request based on the last connection timestamp and on the network
security type (PSK vs. 802.1X) to align the policy with the policy
inside IWD.
Drop a useless nm_connection_clear_secrets call on the applied
connection just before failing the connection attempt and thus
destroying the applied connection.
Avoid saving agent-owned secrets when converting settings connections
to IWD config files and avoid reacting to NMSettingsConnection updates
that don't seem to touch any non-secret or system-owned-secret settings.
Along with NM_SETTINGS_CONNECTION_UPDATE_REASON_RESET_SYSTEM_SECRETS
and NM_SETTINGS_CONNECTION_UPDATE_REASON_RESET_AGENT_SECRETS, which can
be used in the NMSettingConnection's "updated" handlers to track secrets
updates, add NM_SETTINGS_CONNECTION_UPDATE_REASON_UPDATE_NON_SECRET so
that the handlers can tell when something other than secrets has been
updated in the connection.
It can also potentially be used in _connection_changed_update in
src/core/settings/nm-settings.c to stop emitting the
NetworkManager.Settings.Connection.Updated() dbus signal if only secrets
are being updated (on agent queries etc.) if it is deemed to be correct.
NMLldpListener API was a (refcounted) GObject with start/stop methods.
That means, a listener instance itself had state, namely whether it was
running and which ifindex was used. And this was not only internal
state, but the user had to care about this.
That is all entirely unnecessary. Beside requiring more code and having
more overhead (of a GObject), it is also harder to use. NMDevice not
only need to care whether priv->listener is set, it also needs to care
whether it is running.
Simplify this. The NMLldpListener is no longer ref-counted. As such, the
notify callback is set in the constructor, and the user will stop
receiving notifications by destroying the instance. Furthermore, the instance
can only use one ifindex, that is determined at construct time too.
The state that NMLldpListener now represents is simpler. This simplifies
the usage from NMDevice, which now only call lldp_setup() to enable and
disable the listener.
There is also no need to restart the LLDP listener. The only exception
is, if the ifindex changes. In that case, we throw away the old instance
and create a new one. Otherwise, the LLDP listener is itself responsible
to keep running. There is no excuse for it to fail, and if it does, it needs
to autorecover as good as it can.
It's not clear why we would need to restart the instance. It
is supposed to work, and recover automatically.
The only thing that restarting should be necessary, is to change the
ifindex. But this is not the right place for handling changes of ifindex.
Review and replace usages of the two nm_connection_to_dbus() flags
marked deprecated in commit 84648e562c98 ('libnm: Refactor
NM_CONNECTION_SERIALIZE_* flags'):
NM_CONNECTION_SERIALIZE_NO_SECRETS and
NM_CONNECTION_SERIALIZE_ONLY_SECRETS.
Let's shortcut the test by consistently checking whether num_patterns
is positive before matching.
It's more about having a consistent form of the "if" checks, than
anything else.
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.
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.

If the modem is connected, and registrations drops, and then is restored, the
connection isn't re-activated.
The fix was simply to change modem_state_cb to not return after setting the
state to failed, which allows nm_device_queue_recheck_available to be called,
which queues a state transition to UNAVAILABLE.
This patch fixes two issues,
- If ofono returns InProgress, don't treat as a PREPARE_FAILURE.
- If context in question is already active, instead of trying to wait
for "Active" property to change, check the current state of context
properties, and if it is Active = true, fetch the rest of context
settings and process them

802-1x.optional=yes means that NM should tolerate a failure or a
timeout of the 802.1X authentication and should keep the connection
up. Even if the authentication doesn't succeed, NM keeps the
supplicant running so that it can continue trying.
If the supplicant disappears because it crashed or was killed
externally, NM should fail the connection so that it can be retried.
The current code is wrong also because after releasing the supplicant
interface, it calls wired_auth_cond_fail() which tries to connect a
signal to priv->supplicant.iface (which is NULL).

Currently we unconditionally reset the MAC to the previous value after
releasing ports. This has some disadvantages:
- by default, after the last port is removed the bond will have one
of the previous port's address, which could conflict with the port;
- in some cases, changing the bond MAC is not possible. For example
when the bond is active-backup and has fail_over_mac=1|2. In such
case the netlink call succeeds, but the address doesn't
change; then NM would keep waiting for some time.
Don't try to restore the MAC unless the bond connection has a cloned
MAC set.

In core, NMPlatform is (also) a singleton instance. As we will move platform code
to libnm-platform, this singleton part makes no sense there. Move the code
to NetworkManagerUtils.c.
