Before, get_property_for_dbus() would @ignore_defaults.
That is for example wrong for properties of type G_TYPE_STRV.
In this case, if one operand has the property at its default
(NULL) and the other has it to an empty string list, both would
compare equal.
This has the effect that different settings might compare equal.

Alias files have a ':' to separate the base name from their
alias. But we didn't always ensure not to write-out files without
colon, and also initscripts doesn't have that restriction.
We should detect alias files and handle them properly (e.g. by
reloading the base file).
This fixes an error that a `nmcli con load` would have tried to
load the alias file. Also extend load_connection() to support
passing filenames other then the base file.
We only have to handle this in plugin.c. Inside reader.c we always
have the normalized base filename.
Or detection of alias files only looks whether the filename has a ':'
and whether a corresponding base file exists.

Previously, if the main ifcfg file doesn't define any
static ip addresses, any alias files would be ignored.
We should also allow alias files with (pure) 'dhcp' connections,
just like initscripts do.

(cherry picked from commit 4ef8c0c90c)
connection_from_file() used to log a warning about failure,
but only when an @error argument was given.
update_connection() didn't ensure that in several cases,
so we would not log any failure reason when an ifcfg file
failed to read.
This behavior of controlling logging by passing @error (or not)
is unexpected. Instead, refactor the code so that the caller
can do appropriate logging.
Another reason for this refactoring is that PARSE_WARNING() does
not mention the file for which the failure is and uses some extra
indention that looks wrong. IOW, connection_from_file() doesn't
have the context to give the logging line a proper formatting.
(cherry picked from commit 900aa016b1)
No need to allocate a temporary "base" variable. Just
search for the last '/' ourselves.
All the special handling that g_path_get_basename() does,
for example handling empty filenames and removing trailing
slashes, is not needed.
Thereby fix not to return empty names such as from "ifcfg-".

- add new file 'nm-platform-utils.c' and moves some independent utility
functions there (ethtool, udev).
- some refactoring of platform code, including initialization of
NMPlatform instance.
- run platform tests in a separate user namespace, which allow
us to run root-tests as non-root.

(cherry picked from commit d38c3851f8)
There is no general purpose file for platform utilities.
We only have nm-platform.h, which contains (mostly) functions
that operate on a NMPlatform instance (and that can be mocked
using NMFakePlatform).
Add a new file for independent utility functions. nm-platform-utils.c
should not call into functions having a NMPlatform instance, to
have them independent from platform caching and the platform
singleton.
(cherry picked from commit ce700d94f5)
nm_platform_query_devices() would raise an 'added' signal
for all its links. That is bad style because it could
confuse other listeners for platform signals which don't
expect such artificial change signals.
The public API of NMPlatform already gives NMManager the ability
to 'pull' all the links and iterate them itself.
Before, nm_platform_query_devices() would also initialize udev
devices, so there was a more compelling reason for this function.
(cherry picked from commit d7a312d17a)
We already populate the netlink cache in constructed(). No need
to wait with udev devices until nm_platform_query_devices(). Just
do it right away.
Add a hack to keep 'lo' default-unmanaged. Now that we load
udev devices earlier, we end up clearing the default-unmanged
flag on 'lo', which has bad consequences.

We don't want error logging for nm_platform_link_add() which
tries to load the bonding module. Later we will run tests as non-root,
where modprobe will fail. Logging an error would break the tests.
(cherry picked from commit 39f2b51abb)
We already have "nm-utils*.h" and "NetworkManagerUtils.h" headers. Rename
"include/nm-utils-internal.h" to "nm-macros-internal.h". I think that
name is better, because this file is header-only, internal, and
repository-wide.
Also, it will never contain non-header-only declarations because
there is no backing object file under "include/".
It will only contain macros and inline functions.

AUTOCONNECT_SLAVES is an NetworkManager extension. initscripts always activate
slaves with the master connection for bond and team, and doesn't activate
automatically slaves for bridge.
NetworkManager behaviour is controlled by this variable. If the variable is
missing the default value from configuration file is used.
(cherry picked from commit 2a497eeadc)
The property is used for controlling whether slaves should be brought up with
a master connection. If 0, activating the master will not activate slaves.
But if set to 1, activating the master will bring up slaves as well.
The property can have the third state (-1), meaning that the value is default.
That is either a value set in the configuration file for the property, or 0.

Since introduction for support of ip6-privacy (use_tempaddr,
RFC4941) with commit d376270bfe,
the sysctl value from /etc was always read first.
This is problematic, because an explicit setting in the
connection should not be ignored over a global configuration.
Drop that old behavior. It was also problematic, because we did
not read any files under /etc/sysctl.d (except for sysctl.conf).
Also, we did not honor per-interface configurations.
Now we also use as last fallback the value from
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/use_tempaddr
That has the advantage of falling back to the system default value
so that NM doesn't need to have it's own default policy
(Related: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1187525).
This is a change in behavior.
(cherry picked from commit f3c61f8141)
Support default value for setting 'ipv6.ip6-privacy' in
NetworkManager.conf.
If the global value is unset, preserve old behavior of looking into
/etc/sycctl.conf first. That behavior was introduced with commit
d376270bfe, since we support ip6-privacy
setting.
If the global value is set to "unknown", add a new fallback
that instead reads the runtime value from
"/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/use_tempaddr"
This seems more sensible behavior because we fallback to sysctl,
but instead of looking at static files in /etc, read /proc.
But to preserve the old behavior, we only do that when a global
value is configured at all.

(cherry picked from commit e729dd70ae)
The route-metric can be configured per connection via the
ipv4.route-metric and ipv6.route-metric fields. When the
value is left at -1 (the default), we would determine the
route-metric based on the device type (nm_device_get_priority()).
Extend that scheme by making the default value overwritable in
NetworkManager.conf.
(cherry picked from commit 59a991725a)
Add support for a new section [connection] in NetworkManager.conf.
If the connection leaves an option at "unknown"/"default", we can
support overwriting the value from global configuration.
We also support other sections that are named with "connection"
as a prefix, such as [connection2], [connection-wifi]. This is
to support multiple default values that can be applied depending
on the used device.
I think this has great potential. Only downside is that when
the user looks at a connection value, it will see that it is
unspecified. But the actually used value depends on the device
type and might not be obvious.

Support a device-spec to match by device-type.
This matches on the value as shown by

Add a function to get a concise representation of the
device type.
libnm already has nm_device_get_type_description() for that
and it is shown by
nmcli -f GENERAL.TYPE device show
Reimplement that function for nm-core. Just take care that the
two implementations don't diverge.

In case of error, ibft prints an error message to stderr
