The infiniband drivers don't implement the rtnetlink link deletions.
Therefore we unrealize the NMDevice instance but the backing resources
stay around, preventing us from ever realizing the device again.
This makes sure that devices like bond get their dhcp renewed

We'll need to share the best conneciton logic and it's the only caller
of nm_device_get_available_connections(). Let's just move it all to
NMDevice and provide the best connection from there instead.
Since commit 87a3df2e57, the unmanaged
flag NM_UNMANAGED_USER_SETTINGS could be overwritten via an explict
user decision (NM_UNMANAGED_USER_EXPLICIT).
It makes sense to allow user configuration from file to be changable
by an explict user action via D-Bus at runtime.
However, it also changes behavior for devices that are currently explicitly
managed. Previously, a reload of the NM_UNMANAGED_USER_SETTINGS would
immediately unmanaged the device:
- for keyfile: send SIGHUP to reload NetworkManager.conf
- for ifcfg-rh: `nmcli connection [re]load`
So this change in behavior could negatively affect users who rely
on being able to configure "NM_CONTROLLED=no" and expect to unmanaged
the device immediately. Thus revert the change.
Note that NM_UNMANAGED_USER_SETTINGS is anyway ugly and should be
deprecated:
- for keyfile, why having the option "keyfile.unmanaged-devices"
instead of a generic options?
- for ifcfg-rh, why put per-device configuration in a per-connection
file?
The preferred way is to configure NM_UNMANAGED_USER_UDEV via
"ENV{NM_UNMANAGED}". Maybe we should also add a new configuration
scheme via NetworkManager.conf.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762331
The NM_UNMANAGED_USER_SETTINGS flags are determined by the settings plugins.
That is, either:
- keyfile's "unmanaged-devices" configuration option
- ifcfg-rh's "NM_CONTROLLED" option
- ifnet's "managed" option
Rename NM_UNMANAGED_USER_CONFIG to NM_UNMANAGED_USER_SETTINGS to reflect
that it this is user configuration determined by the settings plugin.
Get rid of NM_UNMANAGED_DEFAULT and refine the interaction between
unmanaged flags, device state and managed property.
Previously, the NM_UNMANAGED_DEFAULT was special in that a device was
still considered managed if it had solely the NM_UNMANAGED_DEFAULT flag
set and its state was managed. Thus, whether the device (state) was managed,
depended on the device state too.
Now, a device is considered managed (or unmanaged) based on the unmanaged
flags and realization state alone. At the same time, the device state
directly corresponds to the managed property of the device. Of course,
while changing the unmanaged flags, that invariant is shortly violated
until the state transistion is complete.
Introduce more unmanaged flags whereas some of them are non-authorative.
For example, the EXTERNAL_DOWN flag has only effect as long as the user
didn't explicitly manage the device (NM_UNMANAGED_USER_EXPLICIT). In other
words, certain flags can render other flags ineffective. Whether the device
is considered managed depends on the flags but also at the explicitly unset flags.
In a way, this is similar to previous where NM_UNMANAGED_DEFAULT was ignored
(if no other flags were present).
Also, previously a device that was NM_UNMANAGED_DEFAULT and in disconnected
state would transition back to unmanaged. No longer do that. Once a device is
managed, it stays managed as long as the flags indicate it should be managed.
However, the user can also modify the unmanaged flags via the D-Bus API.
Also get rid or nm_device_finish_init(). That was previously called
by NMManager after add_device(). As we now realize devices (possibly
multiple times) this should be handled during realization.

NM_DEVICE_CHECK_CON_AVAILABLE_FOR_USER_REQUEST is a multi-flag value combining all
the hooks that compose a user-request. Add a special value that has no esplicit
meaning except that it ~is~ a user-request.
The idea of NMDevice:realize() was to
(1) update the device properties
(2) fail realization if some critical properties are missing
(1) is already done during nm_device_setup_start().
(2) was only implemented by NMDeviceVlan:realize(), but it
basically was just checking whether such a platform device exists.
Other implementations don't do that either and it opens up for a race
when the device gets deleted externally.
All implementations of NMDevice:setup_start() in derived classes
invoke the parent implementation first. Enforce that by moving
NMDevice:setup_start() to realize_start_setup() and only notify
derived classes afterwards via NMDevice:realize_start_notify().
In certain situations, ethernet links first appear with a zero MAC
address and then the MAC changes some time later. Currently NM does
not deal correctly with this scenario since it initializes wrong
@initial_hwaddr and @permanent_hwaddr on the device and tries to
immediately activate it.
To fix this, initialize the device's addresses only when the MAC
becomes valid and make the device available only at that point.
Let the link-add functions return the internal pointer to the platform
link object. Similar to link-get, which doesn't copy the link either.
Also adjust the sole users of the add-functions (create-and-realize)
to take the pointer.
Eventually we still copy the returned data, because accessing platform can
invalidate the returned pointer. Thus we don't actually safe any copying
by this (at least every use of the function currently leads to the data
being copied).
Still change it, because I think the API of NMPlatform should look like that.
NMPlatformLink is a plain struct (not a GObject, for which we usually
don't use const). We certainly don't want the functions to modify the
passed-in data.
This is to make it possible for the device factories to indicate the desired
link type and make it possible to avoid matching the unrealized device to a
platform device of different link type.
We often lookup the private data and retrieve it via NM_DEVICE_GET_PRIVATE(),
which in turn calls G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_PRIVATE().
Instead cache the pointer to the private data.
There are up- and downsides:
- requries additional sizeof(gpointer) bytes for each NMDevice.
+ retrieving the private pointer will be slightly faster.
+ easier debugging in gdb as it is currently often a pain to
retrieve the private data.
But most importantly, the allows to change our common pattern
to first cache the private data in a variable @priv. That is
often cumbersome to write, especially for short functions.
This change gives us a choice to use self->priv directly.
Such a change should not be aimed for every class. Instead it makes
mostly sense for NMDevice, where it pays off better due to the
class' size and ubiquitous use.

Instead of reimplementing the slave property in bond, bridge
and team, just add the property to the parent class. It's not
that the parent class would be agnostic to the master/slave
implementation, all the slaves are known to the every device
type implementation.
Also, the derived class doesn't know the correct time when
to invoke the notify-changed for the slaves property.
E.g. it should be only invoked after nm_device_slave_notify_enslave()
when other components also consider the slave as enslaved.
Later this will be fixed so that the SLAVES property correspond
to what other master/slave related properties say.
release_slave() should do the right thing and handle errors as
good as it can. There is no value in propagating the error and
it's not clear what the caller should do in face of a failure
during release.
But, of course, only one realized device can have the same
interface name at a time.
This commit effectively reverts most of:
1b37cd0340
core: allow ActiveConnections to be created without a device
But it's not easy to do a separate revert of that code due to
interdependencies with nm-manager.c.
Creating devices when they are defined by a connection also makes
makes it possible to require the NMDevice to be present when
activating it, which means we can remove a bunch of code from
NMManager that had to handle software devices not existing yet at
the time of the activation request.
But it also means we must be more careful when finding master
interfaces during slave activation, since we cannot simply match
by interface name alone. Instead we must find the master which
matches both the interface name and can control slaves of the type
which is being activated.
Ensure the platform link with the same interface name as the
NMDevice is actually compatible with it before using the link
for initialization of device properties. If not, remove the
NMDevice and create a new one since there are kernel resources
with a different type.
Unrealized devices aren't backed by kernel resources and so won't know
all of their attributes. That means three things:
1) they must update their attributes when they become realized
2) they must clear those attributes when unrealized
3) they must be looser in checking compatible connections until
they are realized
This requires that the setup() function be split into two parts, start & finish,
because finish must be run after add_device()
Also, we can simplify whether to pay attention to 'recheck-assume', which
is now dependent on priv->is_nm_owned, because the only case where NM should
*not* listen for the 'recheck-assume' signal is when the device is a
software device created by NM itself. That logic was previously spread
across the callers of add_device() but is now consolidated into
nm-manager.c::device_realized() and nm-device.c::nm_device_create_and_realize().
This property is TRUE for devices that exist either as a kernel device
or are backed by some other resource (eg, ModemManager object, Bluez
device, etc). It will eventually be FALSE for software devices that
are not yet instantiated.
Commit cd3df12c8f reused the
virtual function component_added() to notify the vlan device
about a possibly new parent.
This reuse of the virtual function for another purpose is confusing.
Clean that up by splitting the implementation and add a new
virtual function nm_device_notify_new_device_added() which gets
(only implemented by NMDeviceVlan).
This adds a LldpNeighbors property to the Device D-Bus interface
carrying information about devices discovered through LLDP. The
property is an array of hashes and each hash describes the values of
LLDP TLVs for a specific neighbor.
Clone the connection upon activation. This makes it safe for the user
to modify the original connection while it is activated.
This involves several changes:
- NMActiveConnection gets @settings_connection and @applied_connection.
To support add-and-activate, we constructing a NMActiveConnection with
no connection set. Previously, we would set the "connection" field to
a temporary NMConnection. Now NMManager piggybacks this temporary
connection as object-data (TAG_ACTIVE_CONNETION_ADD_AND_ACTIVATE).
- get rid of the functions nm_active_connection_get_connection_type()
and nm_active_connection_get_connection_uuid(). From their names
it is unclear whether this returns the settings or applied connection.
The (few) callers should figure that out themselves.
- rename nm_active_connection_get_id() to
nm_active_connection_get_settings_connection_id(). This function
is only used internally for logging.
- dispatcher calls now get two connections as well. The
applied-connection is used for the connection data, while
the settings-connection is used for the connection path.
- needs special handling for properties that apply immediately
when changed (nm_device_reapply_settings_immediately()).

This way, the function matches the other names like nm_device_set_unmanaged().
Arguably, the name currently makes some sense. But future commits will make
nm_device_get_unmanaged() more to be a counterpart of nm_device_set_unmanaged().
