Add a new CON_DEFAULT() macro that places a property name into a
special section used at runtime to check whether it is a supported
connection default.
Unfortunately, this mechanism doesn't work for plugins so we have to
enumerate the connection defaults from plugins in the daemon using
another CON_DEFAULT_NOP() macro.
We need a mode that:
* doesn't leave processes behind
* doesn't force an internal dhclient
* doesn't auto-generate default connections
* doesn't write out files into libdir, only /run
The original configure-and-quit mode doesn't really fit the initrd use. But
it's proobably not a good idea to just change its behavior.
On networked boot we need to somehow communicate this to the early boot
machinery. Sadly, no DBus there and we're running in configure-and-quit
mode.
Abusing the state file for this sounds almost reasonable and is
reasonably straightforward thing to do.
We commonly don't use the glib typedefs for char/short/int/long,
but their C types directly.
$ git grep '\<g\(char\|short\|int\|long\|float\|double\)\>' | wc -l
587
$ git grep '\<\(char\|short\|int\|long\|float\|double\)\>' | wc -l
21114
One could argue that using the glib typedefs is preferable in
public API (of our glib based libnm library) or where it clearly
is related to glib, like during
g_object_set (obj, PROPERTY, (gint) value, NULL);
However, that argument does not seem strong, because in practice we don't
follow that argument today, and seldomly use the glib typedefs.
Also, the style guide for this would be hard to formalize, because
"using them where clearly related to a glib" is a very loose suggestion.
Also note that glib typedefs will always just be typedefs of the
underlying C types. There is no danger of glib changing the meaning
of these typedefs (because that would be a major API break of glib).
A simple style guide is instead: don't use these typedefs.
No manual actions, I only ran the bash script:

sed -i \

-e 's/\<g\(char\|short\|int\|long\|float\|double\)\> /\1 /g' \

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.
We can disable/enable configuration snippets per NetworkManager
version. But we must compare it against the current version
that we build, not the current API version.
The logging macros already prepend a "config: " prefix. Don't
repeat that in the message, otherwise we get
config: config: signal SIGHUP (no changes from disk)
Now:
config: signal: SIGHUP (no changes from disk)
NMManager tries to assign unique route-metrics in an increasing manner
so that the device which activates first keeps to have the best routes.
This information is also persisted in the device's state file, however
we not only need to persist the effective route-metric which was
eventually chosen by NMManager, but also the aspired metric.
The reason is that when a metric is chosen for a device, the entire
range between aspired and effective route-metric is reserved for that
device. We must remember the entire range so that after restart the
entire range is still considered to be in use.

NMManager will need to know the state of all device at once.
Hence, load it once and cache it in NMConfig.
Note that this wastes a bit of memory in the order of
O(number-of-interfaces). But each device state entry is
rather small, and we always consume memory in the order
of O(number-of-interfaces).
The internal state file is supposed to overwrite the files from /etc.
Hence, we must also explicitly enable connectivity checking, when the
user wishes to do so. Otherwise, if /etc contains connectivity=false,
the setting cannot be overruled via D-Bus.
For manged=unknown, we don't write the value to the
device state keyfile. The results in an empty file,
or at least, a keyfile that doesn't have device.managed
set.
On read, we must treat a missing device.managed flag as
unknown, and not as unmanaged. Otherwise, on restart
a device becomes marked as explicitly unmanaged.
This was broken by commit 142ebb1 "core: only persist explicit managed
state in device's state file", where we started conditionally
to no longer write the managed state.

- print string value instead of numerical "managed"
- for missing state, print the same format. After all,
some defaults apply and it is interesting to know what
they are.
nm_config_device_state_*() always access the file system directly,
they don't cache data in NMConfig. Hence, they don't use the
@self argument.
Maybe those functions don't belong to nm-config.h, anyway. For lack
of a better place they are there.
For example, when starting without Wi-Fi plugin, a generic device
is created. On stop, we should not store the unmanaged state
on the state file, otherwise after restart the device is unmanaged.
Only store explicit user decisions.

main() should pass the same atomic-section-prefix setting to it's
NMConfig instances. Currently both are NULL, but make it a define
to make this explicit.
Also, make static array @default_values const and sanitize value
when setting PROP_ATOMIC_SECTION_PREFIXES property.
The -Wimplicit-fallthrough=3 warning is quite flexible of accepting
a fall-through warning.
Some comments were missing or not detected correctly.
Thereby, also change all other comments to follow the exact
same pattern.
Previously, we would have different functions like
- nm_match_spec_device_type()
- nm_match_spec_hwaddr()
- nm_match_spec_s390_subchannels()
- nm_match_spec_interface_name()
which all would handle one type of match-spec.
So, to get the overall result whether the arguments
match or not, nm_device_spec_match_list() had to stich
them together and iterate the list multiple times.
Refactor the code to have one nm_match_spec_device()
function that gets all relevant paramters.
The upside is:
- the logic how to evaluate the match-spec is all at one place
(match_device_eval()) instead of spread over multiple
functions.
- It requires iterating the list at most twice. Twice, because
we do a fast pre-search for "*".
One downside could be, that we have to pass all 4 arguments
for the evaluation, even if the might no be needed. That is,
because "nm-core-utils.c" shall be independend from NMDevice, it
cannot receive a device instance to get the parameters as needed.
As we would add new match-types, the argument list would grow.
However, all arguments are cached and fetching them from the
device's private data is very cheap.

Also, ifnet plugin would read the configuration value, which is just wrong
because:
- the configuration might not be set and ifnet would fail to fallback
to the compile time default.
- the configuration only is in effect if the plugin is also available.
Otherwise, we fallback to the next plugin.
Only the dhcp-manager knows which DHCP plugin is in use.
Since commit fb2ca0ce3d we would no longer pre-set the main.plugins
value in NMConfig's keyfile to recognize unset default settings.
This breaks with
[main]
plugins+=foo
which now results in
main.plgin=foo
while previously it would have extended the compile time default.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1397938
Fixes: fb2ca0ce3d
Instead of having the caller do the fallback to the compile time default
plugins, let it be handled by nm_config_get_plugins().
The knowledge of fallback to a compile time default (and how to do that
properly) should be inside NMConfig/NMConfigData alone.
Also, as this function is only called once, let NMConfig not cache
the string list but create it once as needed.
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.
On devices that have no real permanent hardware address (as returned
by ethtool), we take the current MAC address of the device.
Currently, NM is a bit flaky about whether to accept such fake permanent
addresses for settings like keyfile.unmanaged-devices or the per-
connection property ethernet.mac-address. Probably, we should allow
using fake addresses there in general.
However, that leads to problems because NetworkManager itself changes
the current MAC address of such devices. For example when
configuing
keyfile.unmanaged-device=22:33:44:55:66:77
and later activating a connection with
ethernet.cloned-mac-address=22:33:44:55:66:77
we have a strange situation after restart and the device becomes
unmanaged.
We are going to avoid that, by remembering the fake permanent address
in the device state file.
This only matters:
- for devices that don't have a real permanent address (veth)
- if the user or NetworkManager itself changed the MAC address
of the device
- after a restart of NetworkManager, without reboot. A reboot
clears the device state for /var/run/NetworkManager.
The user can configure the configuration paths via command line
arguments. If the user configures /var/run/NetworkManager/conf.d
as --system-config-dir or --config-dir, avoid using it as run-config
directory.
Yes, this doesn't catch
NetworkManager --config-dir=/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d \
--system-config-dir=/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/
