When quitting, the Manager asks each device to spawn the interface helper,
which persists and manages dynamic address on the interface after NetworkManager
is gone. If the dynamic address cannot be maintaned, the helper quits and
the interface's address may be removed when their lifetime runs out.
To keep the helper as simple as possible, NetworkManager passes most of the
configuration on the command-line, including some properties of the device's
current state, which are necessary for the helper to maintain DHCP leases
or IPv6 SLAAC addresses.
Really only used by systemd because it doesn't have as good lease
handling, but it's also necessary if we switch DHCP clients mid-stream
(which we'll be doing later) since the new DHCP client won't
have a lease file for the current IP address, and thus has nowhere
to pull the current IP address from to request the same address
from the DHCP server.
We'll ever have WWAN devices with a NULL gateway because the IPv6 over
WWAN still uses router advertisements to get a prefix. Thus you'll
always have a gateway if the device has real IPv6 connectivity.
For the IPv4 case, we still allow default routes without gateway on
WWAN.

Up to now, NMPolicy would iterate over all devices to find the "best"
device and assign the default route to that device.
A better approach is to add a default route to *all* devices that
are never-default=no. The relative priority is choosen according to
the route metrics.
If two devices receive the same metric, we want to prefer the device
that activates first. That way, the default route sticks to the same
device until a better device activates or the device deactivates.
Hence, the order of activation is imporant in this case (as it is
already now).
Also, if several devices have identical metrics, increment their
metrics so that every metric is unique.
This makes the routing deterministic according to what we choose as best
device.
A special case is assumed devices. In this case we cannot adjust the metric
in face of equal metrics.
Add a new singleton class NMDefaultRouteManager that has a list of all
devices and their default routes. The manager will order the devices by
their priority and configure the routes using platform.
Also update the metric for VPN connections. Later we will track VPN
routes also via NMDefaultRouteManager. For now, fix the VPN metric because
otherwise VPNs would always get metric 1024 (which is usually much larger then the
device metrics).

Make use of the new setting nm_setting_ip_config_get_route_metric()
If set, this override the route metric determined based on the device
type.
Similarly for VPN also prefer the setting from the connection. Thereby change
the default priority (for VPN that have their own device) to NM_VPN_ROUTE_METRIC_DEFAULT
instead of NM_PLATFORM_ROUTE_METRIC_DEFAULT. The latter would be a very
low priority compared to the default metrics for devices.

Before, we would always call unanimously nm_device_get_priority()
to get the default route metric for a device. Add new functions
nm_device_get_ip4_route_priority() and nm_device_get_ip6_route_priority()
and use them at the proper places.
Also add new function nm_vpn_connection_get_ip4_route_metric() and
nm_vpn_connection_get_ip6_route_metric().

nm_device_get_priority() is used to select the "best" device
for the default route. The absolute values don't matter
at that point and the relative ordering is not changed by
this patch.
It is also directly used for route priority/metric. As we soon
allow the user to overwrite the setting, we want to get more
space between the individual device-types.
That way, a user could overwrite the default metric for a wifi
device to be 109 (making it lower then the default value 110), but
still less preferred then other non-wifi types.
Obviously, this patch is a visible change of behavior as now
routes get different metrics assigned.

Now that NMSettingIP6Config inherits the dhcp-send-hostname property
from NMSettingIPConfig, fix things up so that it actually gets used.
(Note that this changes behavior: previously if ip6.dhcp-hostname was
unset, no hostname would be sent. Now, the system hostname will be
set. Also, ifcfg-rh does not currently support this property, so there
is no way to disable this...)
Split a base NMSettingIPConfig class out of NMSettingIP4Config and
NMSettingIP6Config, and update things accordingly.
Further simplifications of now-redundant IPv4-vs-IPv6 code are
possible, and should happen in the future.
Merge NMIP4Address and NMIP6Address into NMIPAddress, and NMIP4Route
and NMIP6Route into NMIPRoute. The new types represent IP addresses as
strings, rather than in binary, and so are address-family agnostic.
Add nm-core-types.h, typedefing all of the GObject types in
libnm-core; this is needed so that nm-setting.h can reference
NMConnection in addition to nm-connection.h referencing NMSetting.
Removing the cross-includes from the various headers causes lots of
fallout elsewhere. (In particular, nm-utils.h used to include
nm-connection.h, which included every setting header, so any file that
included nm-utils.h automatically got most of the rest of libnm-core
without needing to pay attention to specifics.) Fix this up by
including nm-core-internal.h from those files that are now missing
includes.
Code outside of libnm-core/ should not include the private headers.
nm-core-internal.h should be used instead.

Previously the only thing preventing default-unmanaged devices from
being auto-activated was luck and the fact that they didn't have any
available connections when in the UNMANAGED state. That's no longer
true, so we must be more explicit about their behavior.
Furthermore it makes no sense to allow default-unmanaged devices
to set priv->autoconnect=TRUE since that is never supposed to
happen, so enforce that both in NM itself and if the change
request comes in over the D-Bus interface.
Lastly, internal priv->autoconnect=TRUE changes never emitted a
property change notification, meaning the NMPolicy would never
schedule an autoconnect check if the device's priv->autoconnect
was set to TRUE as a result of re-activating or waking from sleep.
Previously a master device would wait for a carrier before starting
IP configuration only for 'manual' connections, but that's not quite
broad enough. We also want to allow SHARED methods to proceed
immediately since they are also effectively static/manual configuration.
Use the newly split out methods for checking whether a connection
requires a carrier or not to allow the SHARED method to proceed
for master devices without a carrier.
For example, this allows bridge configurations with tun/tap ports
to set up SHARED addressing before the tun/tap gets a carrier which
only happens when something opens the other side of the tun/tap
(like the VM or container).
Default unmanaged devices become managed when the user explicitly activated
a connection on the device, but the user can't do that unless the device
has some available connections. Fix things up so that default unmanaged
devices can have available connections.
Merge libnm's NMDeviceError and the daemon's NMDeviceError into a
single enum (in nm-errors.h). Register the domain with D-Bus, and add
a test that the client side decodes it correctly.
The daemon's NM_DEVICE_ERROR_CONNECTION_INVALID gets absorbed into
libnm's NM_DEVICE_ERROR_INVALID_CONNECTION, and
NM_DEVICE_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_DEVICE_TYPE gets dropped, since it was
only returned from one place, which is now using
NM_DEVICE_ERROR_FAILED, since (a) it ought to be a "can't happen", and
(b) the only caller of that function just logs error->message and then
frees the error without ever looking at the code.
The IPv6LL address handling in userspace patches failed to handle the
case where the IPv6 method was 'ignore'. Previously the kernel would
usually add the IPv6LL address itself, but if NM has turned off kernel
IPv6LL then obviously this wouldn't happen. So when the method is
'ignore', turn off userspace IPv6LL handling and bounce disable_ipv6
to make the kernel add the IPv6LL address if it wants to.
Routing configuration fails to apply if the device is not IFF_UP, so if
we're going to apply IP configuration to the device, make sure it's IFF_UP
first.

A generated connection contains a copy of the device's existing
configuration, so it's entirely redundant to merge the connection
back into the device's IP config. But even though that should
result in no changes to the IP config, NMSettingIPxConfig treats a
route metric of '0' as the device priority, while NMIPxConfig
allows 0 as a valid route metric. Since the setting values
are preferred (they are supposed to be user-supplied and thus
override anythign else, but in this case they are generated and
thus not user-supplied) external routes with a metric of 0 are
overwritten with the device priority metric.

nm_device_get_best_auto_connection() was only used at one place.
It was a very simple function, just iterated over a list finding
the first can_auto_connect() connection. At the very least, the name
was misleading, because it did not return the 'best', but the 'first'
connection.
Get rid of the function altogether.

If DHCP fails to renew or rebind a lease, fail the device since the
IP config is no longer valid. Commit e2b7c482 was actually wrong for
dhcp[4|6]_fail(), since (ip_state == IP_FAIL) will never be true if
DHCP has ever been started, as IP_FAIL is only set from
nm_device_activate_ip[4|6]_config_timeout(), which obviously will not
be called in DHCP code paths if DHCP has previously succeeded.
At a few places, we checked for nm_device_uses_generated_connection()
whether to touch the device or not. nm_device_uses_generated_connection() used
to look at the "nm-generated" property of the NMSettingsConnection.
We are about to change the meaning of "nm-generated", which will mean
"any connection generated by NM, for whatever reason".
Instead now use the new "nm-generated-assumed" connection flag that has
the meaning "nm-generated" used to have.
So rename nm_device_uses_generated_connection() to nm_device_uses_generated_assumed_connection()
which looks at the "nm-generated-assumed" flag instead.
Also, be more strict in nm_device_uses_generated_assumed_connection() to require
both an "nm-generated-assumed" connection *and* an active connection that is
nm_active_connection_get_assumed().

Instead of creating it in NMSettings, where we must use
NM_IS_DEVICE_ETHERNET() (not NM_DEVICE_TYPE_ETHERNET because various generic
devices masquerade as NM_DEVICE_TYPE_ETHERNET too), push knowledge
of which device types create default wired connections into the device
types themselves. This solves a problem with testcases where
libNetworkManager.a (which testcases link to) requires the symbol
nm_type_device_ethernet().
Instead of having basically the same code in a bunch of different
place to find helper programs, just have one place do it. Yes, this
does mean that the same sequence of paths is searched for all helpers
(so for example, dnsmasq will no longer be found first in /usr/local)
but I think consistency is the better option here.

NM keeps interfaces IFF_UP when possible to receive link layer
events like carrier changes. Unfortunately, the kernel also
uses IFF_UP as a flag to assign an IPv6LL address to the interface,
which results in IPv6 connectivity on the link even if the interface
is not supposed to be activated/connected.
NM sets disable_ipv6=1 to ensure that the kernel does not set up
IPv6LL connectivity on interfaces when they are not supposed to
be active and connected. Unfortunately, that prevents users from
manually adding IPv6 addresses to the interface, since they expect
previous kernel behavior where IPv6 is enabled whenever the
interface is IFF_UP.
Furthermore, interfaces like PPP and some WWAN devices provide
misleading information to the kernel which causes the kernel to
create the wrong IPv6LL address for the interface. The IPv6LL
address for these devices is obtained through control channels
instead (IPV6CP for PPP, proprietary protocols for WWAN devices)
and should be used instead of the kernel address. So we'd like
to suppress kernel IPv6LL address generation on these interfaces
anyway.
This patch makes use of the netlink IFLA_INET6_ADDR_GEN_MODE
attribute to take over assignment of IPv6LL addresses while
keeping the interface IFF_UP, to ensure there is only IPv6
connectivity when the user requests it.
To remain compliant with standards, if a user adds IPv6 addresses
externally, NetworkManager must also immediately add an IPv6LL
address for that interface too.

Make all mac-address properties (including NMSettingBluetooth:bdaddr,
NMSettingOlpcMesh:dhcp-anycast-addr, and NMSettingWireless:bssid) be
strings, using _nm_setting_class_transform_property() to handle
translating to/from binary form when dealing with D-Bus.
Update everything accordingly for the change, and also add a test for
transformed setting properties to test-general.
Even if we never receive an RA, if there are manually-specified or external
addresses, consider IPv6 to complete successfully. No reason to fail IPv6
if we have IP configuration already, but RA doesn't respond. If RA shows
up again, we're still listening for it and will apply the config at that
time.
Reporter left SLAAC enabled (because it's default and requires being
explicitly turned off) and added manual IPv6 address. They expected that
address to be assigned very soon after starting the connection, but it was
not assigned.
This happened because NM waits for RA before assigning any IPv6 configuration,
including the manually specified addresses. In the reporters case, there was
no IPv6 router on the network, so NM waited indefinitely for a router
advertisement and never applied any IPv6 configuration.
It seems reasonable to apply any IPv6 configuration we have available, when
we have it. We already apply RA configuration before starting DHCP, and
apply DHCP configuration if/when we get that.
The IPv4 pre-commit hook was called right before the config was
committed, while the IPv6 one was called before commit in only
one case (from nm_device_activate_ip6_config_commit). The IPv4
behavior is the intended behavior.
Note that this doesn't have any actual effect yet, since nothing
actually implements the IPv6 pre-commit hook
The fact that NMRemoteConnection has to be an NMConnection and
therefore can't be an NMObject means that it needs to reimplement bits
of NMObject functionality (and likewise NMObject needs some special
magic to deal with it). Likewise, we will need a daemon-side
equivalent of NMObject as part of the gdbus port, and we would want
NMSettingsConnection to be able to inherit from this as well.
Solve this problem by making NMConnection into an interface, and
having NMRemoteConnection and NMSettingsConnection implement it. (We
use some hacks to keep the GHashTable of NMSettings objects inside
nm-connection.c rather than having to be implemented by the
implementations.)
Since NMConnection is no longer an instantiable type, this adds
NMSimpleConnection to replace the various non-D-Bus-based uses of
NMConnection throughout the code. nm_connection_new() becomes
nm_simple_connection_new(), nm_connection_new_from_hash() becomes
nm_simple_connection_new_from_hash(), and nm_connection_duplicate()
becomes nm_simple_connection_new_clone().
For devices where we don't set the hardware address at construct time,
the first call to nm_device_update_hw_address() was hitting a
return-if-fail.
Also, when updating the hardware address, we were leaking the old
value.
Now that we have nm_utils_hwaddr_matches() for comparing addresses
(even when one is a string and the other binary), there are now places
where it's more convenient to store hardware addresses as strings
rather than binary, since we want them in string form for most
non-comparison purposes. So update for that.
In particular, this also changes nm_device_get_hw_address() to return
a string.
Also, simplify the update_permanent_hw_address() implementations by
assuming that they will only be called once. (Since they will.)
Add nm_utils_hwaddr_matches(), for comparing hardware addresses for
equality, allowing either binary or ASCII hardware addresses to be
passed, and handling the special rules for InfiniBand hardware
addresses automatically. Update code to use it.
