We added "ipv4.route-table-sync" and "ipv6.route-table-sync" to not change
behavior for users that configured policy routing outside of NetworkManager,
for example, via a dispatcher script. Users had to explicitly opt-in
for NetworkManager to fully manage all routing tables.
These settings were awkward. Replace them with new settings "ipv4.route-table"
and "ipv6.route-table". Note that this commit breaks API/ABI on the unstable
development branch by removing recently added API.
As before, a connection will have no route-table set by default. This
has the meaning that policy-routing is not enabled and only the main table
will be fully synced. Once the user sets a table, we recognize that and
NetworkManager manages all routing tables.
The new route-table setting has other important uses: analog to
"ipv4.route-metric", it is the default that applies to all routes.
Currently it only works for static routes, not DHCP, SLAAC,
default-route, etc. That will be implemented later.
For static routes, each route still can explicitly set a table, and
overwrite the per-connection setting in "ipv4.route-table" and
"ipv6.route-table".
Currently, after a client performs a connectivity check it cannot
access the up-to-date value of the manager.connectivity property right
away, but it must wait that the queued PropertiesChanged signal is
processed, which is cumbersome.
Arguably, clients already receive the new connectivity value as the
result of the connectivity check call, so they don't have to read it
from the object; however it would be better if the right value of the
object property was available immediately as well.

Expose previously internal function nm_ip_route_equal_full(). It's
just useful API.
However, add a @cmp_flags argument, so that in the future we could
extend it.
GNOME Settings 3.26 is crashing every time a VPN connection changed its
state. After some digging, a debug message was put on dispose, and this
issue was found:

NetworkManager is calling callbacks on disposed objects, which leads to
crashes in clients (e.g. GNOME Settings).
Fix this issue by disconnecting signal handlers when the objects are
disposed.

If no setting name is found in the file, it means that the file
possibly contains a setting superclass (e.g. NMSettingIPConfig)
without any property definition; just ignore it.
The new device type represents a PPP interface, and will implement the
activation of new-style PPPoE connections, i.e. the ones that don't
claim the parent device.
When the property is set, it specifies the device on which PPPoE is to
be started. The ppp interface will be named as the
connection.interface-name property.
When the property is not set the previous behavior will be retained,
i.e. the PPPoE connection will be started on connection.interface-name
and the PPP interface will have a random name.
Strangely, this breaks
systemctl restart NetworkManager
nmcli connection up "$NAME"
It seems that with this change, libnm misses some events from D-Bus.
It looks like there is something seriously broken. Before fixing it,
revert the previous state.

This reverts commit 529d620a59.
These properties are internal and shall not be publicly accessible.
Remove the getter.
We may later no longer use GDBusObjectManager. It should be an implementation
detail, not exposed in the public API of NMObject.
The current implementation of GDBusObjectManagerClient implements
GAsyncInitableIface, however it simply runs GInitableIface's
synchronous init on another thread.
I suspect that there are races in the way that is implemented.
For one, we see crashes and warnings (rh#1450075, rh#1457769,
rh#1457223). Also, it seems very wrong to me, how GDBusObjectManagerClient
mixes asynchronous signals (on_control_proxy_g_signal) with
synchronously getting all objects (process_get_all_result,
GetManagedObjects).
I think we should ditch GDBusObjectManager altogether, including the
gdbus-codegen skeletons. They add layers of code, for something that
should be simple to do directly. For now, just don't do asynchronous
initialization on another thread, so we at least avoid this kind of
multithreadding issue.
This may make the initialization of NMClient a bit slower.
Branch f9b1bc16e9 added bluetooth NAP
support. A NAP connection is of connection.type "bluetooth", but it
also has a "bridge" setting. Also, it is primarily handled by NMDeviceBridge
and NMBridgeDeviceFactory (with help from NMBluezManager).
However, don't let nm_connection_get_connection_type() and
nm_connnection_is_type() lie about what the connection.type is.
The type is "bluetooth" for most purposes -- at least, as far as
the client is concerned (and the public API of libnm). This restores
previous API behavior, where nm_connection_get_connection_type()
and nm_connection_is_type() would be simple accessors to the
"connection.type" property.
Only a few places care about the bridge aspect, and those places need special
treatment. For example NMDeviceBridge needs to be fully aware that it can
handle bluetooth NAP connection. That is nothing new: if you handle a
connection of any type, you must know which fields matter and what they
mean. It's not enough that nm_connection_get_connection_type() for bluetooth
NAP connectins is claiming to be a bridge.
Counter examples, where the original behavior is right:
src/nm-manager.c- g_set_error (error,
src/nm-manager.c- NM_MANAGER_ERROR,
src/nm-manager.c- NM_MANAGER_ERROR_FAILED,
src/nm-manager.c- "NetworkManager plugin for '%s' unavailable",
src/nm-manager.c: nm_connection_get_connection_type (connection));
the correct message is: "no bluetooth plugin available", not "bridge".
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c: if ( ( nm_connection_is_type (connection, NM_SETTING_WIRED_SETTING_NAME)
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c: && !nm_connection_get_setting_pppoe (connection))
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c: || nm_connection_is_type (connection, NM_SETTING_VLAN_SETTING_NAME)
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c: || nm_connection_is_type (connection, NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_SETTING_NAME)
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c: || nm_connection_is_type (connection, NM_SETTING_INFINIBAND_SETTING_NAME)
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c: || nm_connection_is_type (connection, NM_SETTING_BOND_SETTING_NAME)
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c: || nm_connection_is_type (connection, NM_SETTING_TEAM_SETTING_NAME)
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c: || nm_connection_is_type (connection, NM_SETTING_BRIDGE_SETTING_NAME))
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c- return TRUE;
the correct behavior is for ifcfg-rh plugin to reject bluetooth NAP
connections, not proceed and store it.
We use init_if() as handler for g_list_foreach(). Since we already
cast the function pointer because it doesn't have (GFunc) signature,
we can just as well use the correct types right away.
Previously, internal parts of libnm were not testable.
Instead, add "libnm/nm-libnm-utils.c" and "libnm/libnm-utils.la"
to contain code that can be statically linked with a new
test "libnm/tests/test-general".
