Currently if the IPv6 link-local address is removed after it passed
DAD, NetworkManager tries to generate a new link-local address. If
this fails, which is always the case for EUI64, ipv6ll is considered
as failed and the connection can go down (depending on may-fail).
This is particularly bad for virtual interfaces because if somebody
removes the link-local address, the activation can fail and destroy
the interface, breaking all services that require it. Also, it's a
change in behavior introduced in 1.36.0.
It seems that a better approach here is to re-add the address that was
removed externally.
[bgalvani@redhat.com: since the branch is missing commit 7ca95cee15
('platform: always reconfigure IP routes even if removed externally'),
we need to set flag NM_L3CFG_CONFIG_FLAGS_FORCE_ONCE when committing
the address, otherwise it's not re-added]

(cherry picked from commit 53ba9f4701)
Add per port priority support for bond active port re-selection during
failover. A higher number means a higher priority in selection. The
primary port still has the highest priority. This option is only
compatible with active-backup, balance-tlb and balance-alb modes.

sysfs is deprecated and kernel will not add new bond port options to
sysfs. Netlink is a stable API and therefore is the right method to
communicate with kernel in order to set the link options.

There are many functions to replace properties of a link
(link_set_address, link_set_mtu, link_set_name, link_change,
etc.). Eventually, they will be replaced by a function that does
everything and removes all the code duplication.
That function will be named link_change(); rename the current
link_change() to link_change_extra().

If the client was waiting for IPv6 DAD to complete and the lease was
updated or lost, `wait_ipv6_dad` needs to be cleared; otherwise, at
the next platform change the client will try to evaluate the DAD state
with a different or no lease. In particular if there is no lease the
client will try to decline it because there are no valid addresses,
leading to an assertion failure:

(cherry picked from commit 24461954d0)
F_SETFL will reset the flags. That is wrong, as we only want to add
O_NONBLOCK flag and leaving the other flags alone. Usually, we would
need to call F_GETFL first.
Note that on Linux, F_SETFL can only set certain flags, so the
O_RDWR|O_CLOEXEC flags were unaffected by this. That means, most likely
there are no other flags that our use of F_SETFL would wrongly clear.
Still, it's ugly, because it's not obvious whether there might be other
flags.
Avoid that altogether, by setting the flag already during open().

"wifi.seen-bssids" looks like a regular property, but it is not. Unlike
almost all other properties, it does not contain user configuration,
rather it gets filled by the daemon.
The values are thus stored in "/var/lib/NetworkManager/seen-bssids"
file, and the daemon maintains the values separately from the profile.
Only before exporting the profile on D-Bus, the value gets merged (see
NM_SETTINGS_CONNECTION_GET_PRIVATE(self)->>getsettings_cached and
nm_connection_to_dbus_full().
Hence, looking at nm_setting_wireless_get_num_seen_bssids() is not
working. Fix that.

Since commit f18bf17dea ('wifi: cleanup
ensure_hotspot_frequency()'), NetworkManager automatically selects a
stable channel for AP connections that don't specify a fixed one. The
advantage of this approach is that NM can select a channel that works
well in the current regulatory domain.
However, nmcli still sets fixed channels 1 for 2.4GHz and 7 for 5GHz
when using the "device wifi hotspot". In particular, channel 7 on 5GHz
seems a bad choice because according to [1] it is not usable anywhere
in the world.
It seems difficult to select channel that works everywhere in the 5GHz
band, so it's better to not set a channel in the profile and let NM
find a usable one. For consistency, do the same also for the 2.4GHz
band even if the default choice (channel 1) should always work; by
letting NM choose a channel, different hotspot created with nmcli have
the chance of using different bands and not interfere with each other.

(cherry picked from commit ac2fb0e93d)
If the automatically selected channel for an AP is set as NO-IR in the
current regulatory domain, the hotspot connection will fail to
start. NO-IR means that any mechanisms that initiate radiation are not
permitted on this channel, this includes sending probe requests or
modes of operation that require beaconing such as AP. Skip channels
with the NO-IR flag.
(cherry picked from commit 1399aa925d)
Store attributes of wifi channels so that in a later commit we can
make better decisions when selecting a channel for hotspot.
Don't skip completely disabled frequencies so that the index of
frequencies doesn't change and get_mesh_channel() and
set_mesh_channel() get a reliable result. This was changed by mistake
in 5abb113386 ('wifi: ignore disabled frequencies '); however
probably nobody is still using OLPC mesh networking at this point.

g_random_*() is based on GRand, which is not a CSPRNG. Instead, rely on
kernel to give us good random numbers, which is what nm_random_*() does.
Note that nm_random_*() calls getrandom() (or reads /dev/urandom), which
most likely is slower than GRand. It doesn't matter for our uses though.
It is cumbersome to review all uses of g_rand_*() whether their usage of
a non-cryptographically secure generator is appropriate. Instead, just
always use an appropriate function, thereby avoiding this question. Even
glib documentation refers to reading "/dev/urandom" as alternative. Which
is what nm_random_*() does. These days, it seems unnecessary to not use
the best random generator available, unless it's not fast enough or you
need a stable/seedable stream of random numbers.
In particular in nmcli, we used g_random_int_range() to generate
passwords. That is not appropriate. Sure, it's *only* for the hotspot,
but still.

The present version of the EC2 metadata API (IMDSv2) requires a header
with a token to be present in all requests. The token is essentially a
cookie that's not actually a cookie that's obtained with a PUT call that
doesn't put anything. Apparently it's too easy to trick someone into
calling a GET method.
EC2 now supports IMDSv2 everywhere with IMDSv1 being optional, so let's
just use IMDSv2 unconditionally. Also, the presence of a token API can
be used to detect the AWS EC2 cloud.
