Unrealized devices aren't backed by kernel resources and so won't know
all of their attributes. That means three things:
1) they must update their attributes when they become realized
2) they must clear those attributes when unrealized
3) they must be looser in checking compatible connections until
they are realized
This requires that the setup() function be split into two parts, start & finish,
because finish must be run after add_device()
Also, we can simplify whether to pay attention to 'recheck-assume', which
is now dependent on priv->is_nm_owned, because the only case where NM should
*not* listen for the 'recheck-assume' signal is when the device is a
software device created by NM itself. That logic was previously spread
across the callers of add_device() but is now consolidated into
nm-manager.c::device_realized() and nm-device.c::nm_device_create_and_realize().
This property is TRUE for devices that exist either as a kernel device
or are backed by some other resource (eg, ModemManager object, Bluez
device, etc). It will eventually be FALSE for software devices that
are not yet instantiated.
Commit cd3df12c8f reused the
virtual function component_added() to notify the vlan device
about a possibly new parent.
This reuse of the virtual function for another purpose is confusing.
Clean that up by splitting the implementation and add a new
virtual function nm_device_notify_new_device_added() which gets
(only implemented by NMDeviceVlan).
This adds a LldpNeighbors property to the Device D-Bus interface
carrying information about devices discovered through LLDP. The
property is an array of hashes and each hash describes the values of
LLDP TLVs for a specific neighbor.
Clone the connection upon activation. This makes it safe for the user
to modify the original connection while it is activated.
This involves several changes:
- NMActiveConnection gets @settings_connection and @applied_connection.
To support add-and-activate, we constructing a NMActiveConnection with
no connection set. Previously, we would set the "connection" field to
a temporary NMConnection. Now NMManager piggybacks this temporary
connection as object-data (TAG_ACTIVE_CONNETION_ADD_AND_ACTIVATE).
- get rid of the functions nm_active_connection_get_connection_type()
and nm_active_connection_get_connection_uuid(). From their names
it is unclear whether this returns the settings or applied connection.
The (few) callers should figure that out themselves.
- rename nm_active_connection_get_id() to
nm_active_connection_get_settings_connection_id(). This function
is only used internally for logging.
- dispatcher calls now get two connections as well. The
applied-connection is used for the connection data, while
the settings-connection is used for the connection path.
- needs special handling for properties that apply immediately
when changed (nm_device_reapply_settings_immediately()).

This way, the function matches the other names like nm_device_set_unmanaged().
Arguably, the name currently makes some sense. But future commits will make
nm_device_get_unmanaged() more to be a counterpart of nm_device_set_unmanaged().
If the metered property of a connection is changed, an activated
device associated to the connection must be updated immediately with
the new metered value.

When a new link is detected, NM tries to generate a default "Wired
connection" in nm_settings_device_added(), but if the link has not
been initialized by udev yet the function returns early because
priv->unmanaged_flags = UNMANAGED_PLATFORM_INIT.
To be sure that a default connection is created is such situation, we
need to call again nm_settings_device_added() after link
initialization.

Future patches will create devices long before they are backed by
kernel resources, so we need to split NMDevice object creation from
actual setup based on the backing resources.
This patch combines the NMDeviceFactory's new_link() and
create_virtual_device_for_connection() class methods into a single
create_device() method that simply creates an unrealized NMDevice
object; this method is not expected to fail unless the device is
supposed to be ignored. This also means that the NMDevice
'platform-device' property is removed, because a platform link
object may not be available at NMDevice object creation time.
After the device is created, it is then "realized" at some later
time from a platform link (for existing/hardware devices via the
realize() method) or from an NMConnection (for newly created software
devices via the create_and_realize() NMDeviceClass methods).

Move D-Bus export/unexport handling into NMExportedObject and remove
type-specific export/get_path methods (export paths are now specified
at the class level, and NMExportedObject handles the counters for all
exported types automatically).
Since all exportable objects now use the same get_path() method, we
can also add some helper methods to simplify get_property()
implementations for object-path and object-path-array properties.
Add NMExportedObject, make it the base class of all D-Bus-exported
types, and move the nm-properties-changed-signal logic into it. (Also,
make NMSettings use the same properties-changed code as everything
else, which it was not previously doing, presumably for historical
reasons).
(This is mostly just shuffling code around at this point, but
NMExportedObject will be more important in the gdbus port, since
gdbus-codegen doesn't do a very good job of supporting objects that
export multiple interfaces [as each NMDevice subclass does, for
example], so we will need more glue/helper code in NMExportedObject
then.)
Rather than randomly including one or more of <glib.h>,
<glib-object.h>, and <gio/gio.h> everywhere (and forgetting to include
"nm-glib-compat.h" most of the time), rename nm-glib-compat.h to
nm-glib.h, include <gio/gio.h> from there, and then change all .c
files in NM to include "nm-glib.h" rather than including the glib
headers directly.
(Public headers files still have to include the real glib headers,
since nm-glib.h isn't installed...)
Also, remove glib includes from header files that are already
including a base object header file (which must itself already include
the glib headers).
Add a function to get a concise representation of the
device type.
libnm already has nm_device_get_type_description() for that
and it is shown by
nmcli -f GENERAL.TYPE device show
Reimplement that function for nm-core. Just take care that the
two implementations don't diverge.
Ethernet, WiFi, and VLAN used the same implementation for initial address.
Ethernet and WiFi used the same implementation (and duplicated code) for
permanent MAC address, plus they both used ethtool in what should be
generic code, which is better done in the platform.
For existing devices, depending on the order that netlink sends interfaces to
us, the parent may be found after the VLAN interface and not be available when
the VLAN interface is constructed. Instead of failing construction, when a
NMDeviceVlan has no parent keep it unavailable for activation. Then have
the Manager notify existing devices when a new device is found, and let
NMDeviceVlan find the parent later and become available via that mechanism.
This doesn't apply to VLANs created by NM itself, because the kernel requires
a parent ifindex when creating a VLAN device. Thus this fix only applies to
VLANs created outside NetworkManager, or existing when NM starts up.
Even Fedora is no longer shipping the WiMAX SDK, so it's likely we'll
eventually accidentally break some of the code in src/devices/wimax/
(if we haven't already). Discussion on the list showed a consensus for
dropping support for WiMAX.
So, remove the SDK checks from configure.ac, remove the WiMAX device
plugin and associated manager support, and deprecate all the APIs.
For compatibility reasons, it is still possible to create and save
WiMAX connections, to toggle the software WiMAX rfkill state, and to
change the "WIMAX" log level, although none of these have any effect,
since no NMDeviceWimax will ever be created.
nmcli was only compiling in support for most WiMAX operations when NM
as a whole was built with WiMAX support, so that code has been removed
now as well. (It is still possible to use nmcli to create and edit
WiMAX connections, but those connections will never be activatable.)
The connection now might be being activated on another device. Defer the
removal until we're sure the activation request will proceed and only add the
active connection afterwards.

It was confusing to understand the difference between calling nm_device_connection_is_available()
and check_connection_available(), they behaved similar, but not really
the same. Especially nm_device_connection_is_available() would look
first into @available_connetions, and might call check_connection_available()
itself. Whereas @available_connetions was also populated by testing
check_connection_available(). This interrelation makes it hard to
understand when nm_device_connection_is_available() returned true.
Rename nm_device_connection_is_available() to nm_device_check_connection_available()
and remove all direct calls of check_connection_available() in favor of
the wrapper nm_device_check_connection_available().
Now we only call nm_device_check_connection_available() with different
parameters (@flags and @specific_object). We also have the additional
guarantee that specifying more @flags will widen the result and making
a connection "more" available, while specifying a @specific_object will
restrict it.
This also changes behavior in several cases. For example before
nm_device_connection_is_available() for user-requests would always
declare matching connections available on Wi-Fi devices (only)
regardless of the device state. Now the device state gets consistently
considered.
For default-unmanaged devices it also changes behavior in complicated
ways, because before we would put connections into @available_connetions
for every device-state, but nm_device_connection_is_available() had a
special over-ride only for unmanaged-state.
This also fixes a bug, that user can activate an unavailable Wi-Fi
device:
nmcli radio wifi off
nmcli connection up wlan0
The argument name should express what the caller wants
(he wants to know, whether the connection can be activated
for an internal or external activation request).
Whether that involves checking device-specific overrides, is
not the point -- nm_device_check_connection_compatible() is
also a virtual function with device-specific overrides.
Extend nm_match_spec_*() to support an "except:" prefix to negate
the result of a match. "except:" only works when followed by
an exact match type, for example "except:interface-name:vboxnet0",
but not "except:vboxnet0".
A matching "except:" spec always wins, regardless of other positive
matchings.
Externally created software devices would be managed/assumed immediately
upon creation, which includes setting them IFF_UP and possibly turning
on NM-managed IPv6LL.
With this commit, expected behavior for external software devices is:
1) created: unmanaged state, no further action
2) IP address added but !IFF_UP: connection assumed, but device is not set IFF_UP
3) slave attached but !IFF_UP: connection assumed, but master is not set IFF_UP
3) set IFF_UP: connection assumed (if any), if not -> DISCONNECTED
This branch ensures that external software devices are not set IFF_UP
by NetworkManager when they are discovered. It additionally ensures that
they are not set IFF_UP during connection assumption. They may be set
IFF_UP later through specific user action.

We've previously been just watching for state changes into UNMANAGED state. No
state change is emitted upon removal of a device which is already unmanaged.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737659
The previous commit made NM enforce the default route on interfaces for
which NM manages a default route.
For interfaces that are configured never-default, NM will now pick up
any externally configured default route, as if it was managed by NM.
This is important, because NMDefaultRouteManager needs a notion of which
is the best device. Without this change, it was agnostic to default routes
on managed, never-default interfaces.
