Rather than generating enum classes by hand (and complaining in each
file that "this should really be standard"), use glib-mkenums.
Unfortunately, we need a very new version of glib-mkenums in order to
deal with NM's naming conventions and to fix a few other bugs, so just
import that into the source tree temporarily.
Also, to simplify the use of glib-mkenums, import Makefile.glib from
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/654395.
To avoid having to run glib-mkenums for every subdirectory of src/,
add a new "generated" directory, and put the generated enums files
there.
Finally, use Makefile.glib for marshallers too, and generate separate
ones for libnm-glib and NetworkManager.
This allows us to package WiMAX separately so you can choose
to install WiMAX or not. For package-based distros you can now
install libnm-device-plugin-wimax.so in a separate package that
links to/requires the Intel WiMAX service instead of having the
main NM package require it and pull it in by default. This
plugin infrastructure will be extended to other device types
as well.
src/firewall-manager tracks whether firewall is on the bus or not.
In nm-device.c at stage5 (ip-config-commit) before we actually
apply the IP configuration to the interface, we send the
IP interface name and zone to firewall and asynchronously wait
for a D-Bus reply. Then after we get the reply
(or if the firewall isn't running) we proceed with
applying the IP configuration to the interface.
These days more and more devices are showing up that support a
number of different access technology families in the same hardware,
like Qualcomm Gobi (CDMA and GSM), Pantech UM190 (CDMA and GSM),
Pantech UML290 (CDMA and LTE), LG VL600 (CDMA and LTE), Sierra
320U (GSM and LTE), etc. The previous scheme of having device
classes based on access technology family simply cannot handle
this hardware and attempting to add LTE to both the CDMA and GSM
device classes would result in a bunch of code duplication that
we don't want. There's a better way...
Instead, combine both CDMA and GSM device classes into a generic
"Modem" device class that provides capabilities indicating what
access technology families a modem supports, and what families
it supports immediately without a firmware reload. (Gobi devices
for example require a firmware reload before they can switch
between GSM and CDMA). This provides the necessary flexibility
to the client and allows us to keep the API stable when the
same consolidation change is made in ModemManager.
The current code doesn't yet allow multi-mode operation internally,
but the API is now what we want it to be and won't need to be
changed.
Given connection details, complete the connection as well as possible
using the given specific object and device, add it to system
settings, and activate it all in one method.
System settings still links to libnm-glib, which also contains
an NMDeviceWimax class. We don't care about the libnm-glib
class, so link the wimax bits first to ensure they are the ones
used.
This issue will go away when user settings is removed in the
near future.
Instead of a bizare mechanism of signals back to the manager
object that used to be required because of the user/system settings
split, let each place that needs secrets request those secrets
itself. This flattens the secrets request process a ton and
the code flow significantly.
Previously the get secrets flow was something like this:
nm_act_request_get_secrets ()
nm_secrets_provider_interface_get_secrets ()
emits manager-get-secrets signal
provider_get_secerts ()
system_get_secrets ()
system_get_secrets_idle_cb ()
nm_sysconfig_connection_get_secrets ()
system_get_secrets_reply_cb ()
nm_secrets_provider_interface_get_secrets_result ()
signal failure or success
now instead we do something like this:
nm_agent_manager_get_secrets ()
nm_agent_manager_get_secrets ()
request_start_secrets ()
nm_sysconfig_connection_get_secrets ()
return failure or success to callback
Some stuff we build (the DHCP manager) gets built independently
so that we can use it for unit tests. For that, we need to build
the logging bits separately too, since the independent DHCP
library can't use them if they are embedded in NM.
After the DUN branch merge (I think?) a number of NM_IS_MODEM
calls were left around which now always return FALSE since
NMDeviceCdma and NMDeviceGsm aren't subclasses of NMModem anymore.
But we still need generic "is this a modem subclass" checks in
a few places, so add a modem base class that both the GSM and
CDMA device classes inherit from and use that.
Plus, we want to consolidate a ton of the common code in
nm-device-gsm.c and nm-device-cdma.c into the base class in the
future anyway.
If the hostname was changed while NM wasn't running, and thus /etc/hosts
was out of sync with the new hostname, NM wouldn't make sure that
the new hostname was mapped in /etc/hosts. Make sure that happens
and add a bunch of testcases for /etc/hosts rewriting.
