config.h should be included from every .c file, and it should be
included before any other include. Fix that.
(As a side effect of how I did this, this also changes us to
consistently use "config.h" rather than <config.h>. To the extent that
it matters [which is not much], quotes are more correct anyway, since
we're talking about a file in our own build tree, not a system
include.)
nm_setting_lookup_type_by_quark() was only ever used in places that
were still mistakenly assuming the old style of nm_connection_verify()
errors, where the error message would contain only a property name and
no further explanation. Fix those places to assume that the error will
contain a real error message, and include both the setting name and
the property name.
Given that, there's no longer any need for
nm_setting_lookup_type_by_quark(), so drop it.
nm_connection_lookup_setting_type() and
nm_connection_lookup_setting_type_by_quark() have nothing to do with
NMConnection. So move them to NMSetting (and rename them to
nm_setting_lookup_type() and nm_setting_lookup_type_by_quark()).
Include <linux/if_ether.h> and <linux/if_infiniband.h> from
nm-utils.h, to get ETH_ALEN and INFINIBAND_ALEN, and remove those
includes (as well as <net/ethernet.h> and <netinet/ether.h>, and
various headers that had been included to get the ARPHRD_* constants)
from other files where they're not needed now.
Drop the arptype-based nm_utils_hwaddr funcs, and rename the
length-based ones to no longer have _len in their names. This also
switches nm_utils_hwaddr_atoba() to using a length rather than an
arptype, and adds a length argument to nm_utils_hwaddr_valid() (making
nm_utils_hwaddr_valid() now a replacement for nm_utils_hwaddr_aton()
in some places, where we were only using aton() to do validity
checking).
Since the pointer to the connection's path could change any time
commit_changes() is called, it's not safe to use it as the hash
table key directly. strdup it instead.
Remove the PLUGIN_PRINT() and PLUGIN_WARN() macros and use the
standard NM logging functions instead.
Also changed PLUGIN_PRINT("error: ...") to nm_log_warn("...") in
places.
Add a "monitor-connection-files" config option, which can be set to
"false" to disable automatic reloading of connections on file change.
To go with this, add a new ReloadConnections method on
o.fd.NM.Settings that can be used to manually reload connections, and
add an nm-cli command to call it.
ifcfg-rh didn't let you unmanage an InfiniBand device by hardware
address because it was recording the hardware address with uppercase
letters, while nm_match_spec_hwaddr() required lowercase. Fix this by
making nm_match_spec_hwaddr() match case-insensitively (and remove the
manual lowercasing that several other places were doing to work around
this.)
keyfile didn't let you unmanage an InfiniBand device by hardware
address because it only accepted ARPHRD_ETHER hardware addresses. Fix
that by using nm_utils_hwaddr_valid() instead.
We don't always want to immediately write new connections to disk, to
facilitate "runtime" or "temporary" connections where an interface's
runtime config isn't backed by on-disk config. Also, just because
an interface's configuration is changed doesn't necessarily mean
that new configuration should be written to disk either.
Add D-Bus methods for adding new connections and for updating existing
connections that don't immediately save the connection to disk.
Also add infrastructure to indicate to plugins that the new connection
shouldn't be immediately saved if the connection was added with the
new method.
GObject creation cannot normally fail, except for types that implement
GInitable and take a GError in their _new() method. Some NM types
override constructor() and return NULL in some cases, but these
generally only happen in the case of programmer error (eg, failing to
set a mandatory property), and so crashing is reasonable (and most
likely inevitable anyway).
So, remove all NULL checks after calls to g_object_new() and its
myriad wrappers.
