Arguably, we currently only have one instance of NMPlatform,
NMRouteManager, NMDefaultRouteManager -- the one owned by the
NMNetns singleton.
Hence, all these instances we create with "log-with-ptr" set explicitly
to false.
In the future we want to support namespaces, and it will be be common to
have multiple instances. For that we have "log-with-ptr" so we are able
to disambiguiate the logging.
Change the default to TRUE because it makes more sense. It has currently
no effect as the default is never used.
NMPlatform, NMRouteManager and NMDefaultRouteManager are singletons
instances. Users of those are for example NMDevice, which registers
to GObject signals of both NMPlatform and NMRouteManager.
Hence, as NMDevice:dispose() disconnects the signal handlers, it must
ensure that those singleton instances live longer then the NMDevice
instance. That is usually accomplished by having users of singleton
instances own a reference to those instances.
For NMDevice that effectively means that it shall own a reference to
several singletons.
NMPlatform, NMRouteManager, and NMDefaultRouteManager are all
per-namespace. In general it doesn't make sense to have more then
one instances of these per name space. Nnote that currently we don't
support multiple namespaces yet. If we will ever support multiple
namespaces, then a NMDevice would have a reference to all of these
manager instances. Hence, introduce a new class NMNetns which bundles
them together.
Routes with a non-zero host part are not allowed by kernel and
don't really exist. We didn't reject such routes in users configuration,
so various part of NM allow such routes. NM should silently strip
the host part.
Extend the cache's route ID to clear the host part too.
Note that NM's handling of routes is fundamentally flawed, as
for kernels routes don't have an "id" (or rather: all properties
of a route are part of it's ID, not only the family,ifindex,
network/plen and metric tuple (see related bug rh#1337855).
Platform's add/remove operations accept a "network" argument.
Kernel requires that the host part (based on plen) is all zero.
For NetworkManager we are more resilient to user configuration.
Cleanup the input argument already before calling _nl_msg_new_route().
Note that we use the same "network" argument to construct a obj_id
instance and to find the route in the cache (do_add_addrroute()).
Without cleaning the host part, the added object cannot be found
and the add-route command seemingly fails.
We should try to guarantee a stable activation order of connections
across reboots; this is required, for example, for bonds because they
get assigned the MAC address of the first device enslaved, and thus
changing the activation order of slaves means also changing the MAC
address of the bond. Since we activate connections in the order links
are discovered, having a stable sorting of links returned by platform
is enough.
The ifindex of interfaces can change between reboots as it depends on
the order in which kernel discover interfaces. Provided that the
system uses a mechanism to enforce persistent interface naming (as
udev rules or systemd-udevd predictable names), and that NM starts
after all interfaces have been announced by udev, using the interface
name instead of ifindex will guarantee a consistent order.
nm_utils_exp10() is a better name, because it reminds of the function
exp10() from <math.h> which has a similar purpose (but whose argument
is double, not gint16).
There are very few places where we actually use floating point
or #include <math.h>.
Drop that library, although we very likely still get it as indirect
dependency (e.g. on my system it is still dragged in by libsystemd.so,
libudev.so and libnl-3.so).
For nl80211, we don't care about the interface name and only use it
when formatting error messages. For wext, an up-to-date interface name
should be obtained every time to minimize the chance of race
conditions when the interface is renamed.
We should implement all our private-getters with the very same pattern
(i.e. their type structure contains a field "_priv" and nm_assert()
with a GObject type check).
NM_LINUX_PLATFORM_GET_PRIVATE() was already doing all of that. Now just
use the _NM_GET_PRIVATE_VOID() macro which formally follows the
intended pattern.
Wait that the address becomes non-tentative before adding the route
with RTA_PREFSRC. Dummy interfaces are NOARP and thus don't do DAD,
but the kernel sets the address as tentative for a small amount of
time, which prevents the immediate addition of the route with
preferred source.

Also, as time goes by it is less likely to encounter a user
where the kernel has no support. The most likely reason nowadays
is that the user booted with "ipv6.disabled=1".

ip4_addr_subnets_is_secondary() should fill the list of addresses in
the same subnet also when returning FALSE, because
nm_platform_ip4_address_sync() uses it.

- use gs_free attribute
- move printing the logging cache warning inside the place
where we actuall add a new item to the cache.
It's really a minor cleanup of stuff that come to my mind reviewing the
function.
We end up calling nmp_cache_id_init_*() a lot to initialize stack-allocated
cache-ids to lookup the NMMultiIndex. There is no need to memset() it to
zero, because all relevant fields are supposed to be set explicitly.
The kernel already takes care of adding and updating temporary
addresses when an address with IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR flag is added or
updated; doing it also in nm_platform_ip6_address_sync() can overwrite
the changes done by kernel, especially because since commit
0a0bca9c7f ("ip6-config: sort addresses only when reading the
property value") there is no guarantee that temporary addresses are
before the public ones in the IPv6 configuration.
Still delete temporary addresses, but don't add or update them.
