618d8fc322 policy: remove the subnet for deactivating downlink device
When the downlink device of the IP6 prefix delegation is deactivating,
the subnet matches the downlink device should be removed, otherwise,
the function `_clear_ip6_subnet()` will call on the subnet where
the downlink device is already disconnected. This is problematic,
because the applied connection for the downlink device is already
disposed, but we still add config to l3cd later on, which requires the
applied connection to be around.

3be44c0aa8 device: rename _dev_ipdhcpx_cleanup() "release" argument
The argument might imply that when set to FALSE, the dhcp client won't
send a RELEASE message. This won't be true with the new
dhcp-send-release option that is going to be introduced.

Instead, change the name to "force_release", when set to TRUE it means
we are sending a RELEASE message even if not indicated by the user. When
set to FALSE, it will be up to the user.

fe734c5c11 dhcp: remove l3cds when the lease expires
When the lease is lost, NM tries to get a new by restarting the DHCP
transaction. However, it doesn't delete the existing l3cds (one from
the DHCP client with flag ONLY_FOR_ACD, the other from
NMDevice). Therefore, the l3cfg still tracks the ACD state of the
address as "external-removed", and when NM gets the same address via
DHCP, ACD is considered as failed; as a consequence, NM sends a
DECLINE message to the server.

Moreover, the l3cd added by NMDevice for DHCP has a zero ACD timeout,
and so it's not possible to do ACD again on the same address.

Remove those l3cds when the lease expires, so that any ACD state is
cleared and DHCP can perform ACD again.

fd914be8d7 device: upgrade ACD failure message to warning level
A IPv4 conflict detected during the probe is a serious problem, as it
prevents the address from being configured. As such, is should be
displayed at warning level.

A conflict detected after the address is already configured
(addr_info->state == NM_L3_ACD_ADDR_STATE_CONFLICT) is less important
because NM will try to defend the address and will keep using it.

790e4231f4 core,libnm: change default value for ipv4.dad-timeout from 0 to 200ms
A duplicate address is a serious issue which leads to non-working
setups or problems hard to debug. Enable IPv4 duplicate address
detection (aka ACD, RFC 5227) by default to detect such problems.

While the RFC recommends a timeout of 9 seconds, a comment in n-acd
sources says:

  A 9s timeout for successful link setups is not acceptable today.
  Hence, we will just go forward and ignore the proposed values. On
  both wired and wireless local links round-trip latencies of below
  3ms are common.  We require the caller to set a timeout multiplier,
  where 1 corresponds to a total probe time between 0.5 ms and 1.0
  ms. On modern networks a multiplier of about 100 should be a
  reasonable default. To comply with the RFC select a multiplier of
  9000.

Set a default timeout of 200ms, which is the double of the value
suggested in n-acd sources. 200ms sounds quick enough, and gives at
least ~100ms to other hosts to reply.

5426bdf4a1 HSR: add support to HSR/PRP interface
This patch add support to HSR/PRP interface. Please notice that PRP
driver is represented as HSR too. They are different drivers but on
kernel they are integrated together.

HSR/PRP is a network protocol standard for Ethernet that provides
seamless failover against failure of any network component. It intends
to be transparent to the application. These protocols are useful for
applications that request high availability and short switchover time
e.g electrical substation or high power inverters.

auto-default: check NM_AUTO_DEFAULT_LINK_LOCAL_ONLY from nm-device
When creating default connections automatically, we check if udev has
set the NM_AUTO_DEFAULT_LINK_LOCAL_ONLY variable, and if so, we create
the connection with method=link-local. It was checked only for ethernet
connection type, which works fine because it's the only device type that
we create connections automatically for.

However, link-local connections are not specific to Ethernet, and if we
add auto-default connections for more devices in the future we should
honor this configuration too. Do it from nm-device, but only if the
device class has defined a "new_default_connection" method so the
behaviour is identical as the current one, but will be used by future
implementors of this method too.

50a6386c3b device: disable IPv6 in NetworkManager when disabled in kernel

IPv6 configuration internally, resulting in unnecessary warning messages being output infinitely.

To prevent this issue, let's disable IPv6 in NetworkManager when it is disabled in the kernel.

In order to do it in activate_stage3_ip_config() only once during activation,
the firewall initialization needed to be moved earlier. Otherwise, the IPv6 disablement could occur
twice during activation because activate_stage3_ip_config() is also executed from subsequent of fw_change_zone().

f78a18bf16 dhcp: allow to not send client-id (option 61) in IPv4
Sending a client-id is not mandatory according to RFC2131. It is
mandatory according to RFC4361 that superseedes it.

Some weird DHCP servers conforming RFC2131 can get confused and break
existing DHCP leases if they start receiving a client-id when it was not
being previously received. Users that were using other DHCP client like
dhclient, but want to use NetworkManager's internal DHCP client, can
suffer this problem.

Add "none" as accepted value in ipv4.dhcp-client-id to specify that
client-id must not be sent. Note that this is generally not recommended
unless it's explicitly needed for some reason like the explained above.

Client-id is mandatory in DHCPv6.

This commit allow to set the "none" value and properly parse it in the
NMDhcpClientConfig struct. Next commits will modify the different DHCP
plugins to honor it.

Software devices that are controllers like bond/bridge/team when

Otherwise, if a VLAN link is deleted because the ethernet carrier-change

efa63aef3a device: delete software device when software devices lose carrier
We delete devices when the connection goes down and NetworkManager
created the device earlier.

Software devices like bond/bridge/team default to ignoring carrier.
However, when configuring them to not ignore carrier
([device].ignore-carrier), they were not deleted when deactivating the
devices.

This adjusts commit d0c2a24b71 ('device: do not remove software devices
on initial disconnected (rh #1035814)'). Note that back then there was
no check whether the device has an activation queued, so it behaved
differently then.

When the software device enters the UNAVAILABLE state from UNMANAGED,
during cleanup we shouldn't delete the link.

02b892149a sriov: do not fail activation on SR-IOV VF failures
When user are changing SR-IOV VF settings for options like `max-tx-rate`
which some hardware not supported yet, the failure of this VF will fail
the whole activation, then the SR-IOV will be disabled means all the VFs
will be deleted.

Deleting VFs might break network connectivity and this collateral
damage of VF option failure is not acceptable for OpenShift use cases
even they have checkpoint protection.

This patch only log warn message on failure of VF options and will not
fail the activation.

NetworkManager also ignore MTU failure during activation, I believe this
fit into the same assumption.

core: better handle ignore-carrier=no for bond/bridge/team devices
By default, bond/bridge/team devices ignore carrier, and so do their
ports. However, it can make sense to set '[device*].ignore-carrier' for
the controller device. Meaningfully support that.

This is a follow up to commit 8c91422954 ('device: handle carrier
changes for master device differently'), which didn't fully solve the
problem.

What already works, is that when you set ignore-carrier for the
controller, then after loss of carrier and a carrier wait timeout, the
controller and ports go down. If both the controller and port profiles
have autoconnect disabled, they stay down and that's it. It works as
expected, but is not very useful, because when we want to automatically
react on carrier loss, we also want to automatically reconnect.

For controller profiles, carrier only makes sense when ports are
attached. However, we can (auto) activate controller profiles without
ports. So when the user enables autoconnect for the controller profile,
then the profile will eagerly reconnect. That means, after loss of
carrier, the device goes down and reconnects right away. It means, when
configuring a bond with ignore-carrier=no and autoconnect=yes, then
the sensible thing happens (an immediate reconnect). That is just not
a useful configuration.

The useful way to configure configure ignore-carrier=no for a controller
device, autoconnect on the master must be disabled while being enabled
on the ports. After all, it's the ports that will autoconnect based on
the carrier state and bring up the controller with them.

Note that at the moment when a port decides to autoconnect, the
controller profile is not yet selected. That only happens later during
_internal_activate_device() after searching it with find_master().  At
that point, the port profile checks whether it should autoconnect based
on its own carrier state, and abort if not.

If autoconnect is aborted due to lack of carrier, the profile gets
blocked from autoconnect with reason "failed". Hence, when the carrier
returns, we need to clear any "failed" blocked reasons and schedule
another autoconnect check,

Note that this really only works if the port is itself a simple device,
like an ethernet. If the port is itself a software device (like a bond,
or a VLAN), then the carrier state in _internal_activate_device() is
unknown, and we cannot avoid autoconnect. It's unclear how that could
make sense, if at all.

This setup can be combined with "connection.autoconnect-slaves=yes". In
that case, we have the first port to autoconnect when they get carrier,
bringing up the controller too. Usually the other ports that don't have
carrier would not autoconnect, but with autoconnect-slaves they will.
The effect is, that we autoconnect whenever any of the ports has
carrier, and then we immediately also bring up the ports that don't have
carrier (which we usually would not).

core: rename nm_config_data_get_device_config_*() variants
The fully generic way to lookup a device config is using the
NMMatchSpecDeviceData. Rename the accessors that operate on a NMDevice
instead.
