It is bad style to rely on the last unref of an object for stopping
the operation. With a ref-counted object you should never rely on
anybody else still having (or not having) a reference. Hence, you
should not rely on stopping the ND during the last unref.
Add an explicit nm_ndisc_stop() function.
Previously, if we passed ra_timeout 0 to NMNDisc, then it would
calculate the effective timeout based on the router-solicitations
and the router-solicitation-interval.
The caller may want to know the used timeout, to also run its own timers
with the same timeout. Hence, it cannot leave this automatism internal
to NMNDisc.
First I wanted to fix
test:ERROR:../src/ndisc/tests/test-ndisc-fake.c:373:test_preference_changed_cb: assertion failed (_a->timestamp == (data->timestamp1 + 3)): (9 == 10)
but that leads to a different failure:
test:ERROR:../src/ndisc/tests/test-ndisc-fake.c:375:test_preference_changed_cb: assertion failed (_a->lifetime == (9)): (10 == 9)
Instead, the start and end times must match exact (in their duration),
we only allow them to be shifted by up to one second.
Fixes: 8209095ee1 ('ndisc/tests: relax the assertion in "test-ndisc-fake.c"')
lgtm.com flags this. The check was there to be better safe than sorry.
Also, it seems better to have code that shows what happens instead
of a verbose code comment (or no comment at all). Anyway, avoid the
false positive.
It's unnecessary and makes the function unnecessarily not thread safe.
Of course, also ndp_msg_opt_route_prefix() uses static variables, so
it's still not thread safe.
Fixes: c3a4656a68 ('rdisc: libndp implementation')
I think it's preferable to use nm_clear_g_free() instead of
g_clear_pointer(, g_free). The reasons are not very strong,
but I think it is overall preferable to have a shorthand for this
frequently used functionality.
sed 's/\<g_clear_pointer *(\([^;]*\), *\(g_free\) *)/nm_clear_g_free (\1)/g' $(git grep -l g_clear_pointer) -i
We will add a property NM_NDISC_RA_TIMEOUT for which this name is better
suited. The problem is really that our convention for object properties
and signals defines have no prefix to indicate whether it's a property
or a signal.
Rename.
The _GET_PRIVATE() macros are all implemented based on
_NM_GET_PRIVATE(). That macro tries to be more type safe and uses
_Generic() to do the right thing. Explicitly casting is not only
unnecessary, it defeats these (static) type checks.
Don't do that.
As it is possible to configure an arbitrarily large DHCP timeout, it
should be possible to also set a large timeout for IPv6
autoconfiguration. Currently the timeout can only be changed via
sysctl. Leave the lower bound because the default kernel sysctl value
is 3 * 4 = 12 seconds and so without the lower limit the default
timeout would change from 30 to 12 seconds for every user, which seems
a big change and could possibly break users' setup.

and _nm_utils_inet6_ntop() instead of nm_utils_inet6_ntop().
nm_utils_inet4_ntop()/nm_utils_inet6_ntop() are public API of libnm.
For one, that means they are only available in code that links with
libnm/libnm-core. But such basic helpers should be available everywhere.
Also, they accept NULL as destination buffers. We keep that behavior
for potential libnm users, but internally we never want to use the
static buffers. This patch needs to take care that there are no callers
of _nm_utils_inet[46]_ntop() that pass NULL buffers.
Also, _nm_utils_inet[46]_ntop() are inline functions and the compiler
can get rid of them.
We should consistently use the same variant of the helper. The only
downside is that the "good" name is already taken. The leading
underscore is rather ugly and inconsistent.
Also, with our internal variants we can use "static array indices in
function parameter declarations" next. Thereby the compiler helps
to ensure that the provided buffers are of the right size.
The abbreviations "ns" and "ms" seem not very clear to me. Spell them
out to nsec/msec. Also, in parts we already used the longer abbreviations,
so it wasn't consistent.
The targets that involve the use of the `NetworkManager` library,
built in the `src` build file have been improved by applying a set
of changes:
- Indentation has been fixed.
- Set of objects used in targets have been grouped together.
- Aritificial dependencies used to group dependencies and custom
compiler flags have been removed and their use replaced with
proper dependencies and compiler flags to avoid any confussion.
IPv6 router advertisement messages contain the following parameters
(RFC 4861):
- Reachable time: 32-bit unsigned integer. The time, in
milliseconds, that a node assumes a neighbor is reachable after
having received a reachability confirmation. Used by the Neighbor
Unreachability Detection algorithm. A value of zero means
unspecified (by this router).
- Retrans Timer: 32-bit unsigned integer. The time, in milliseconds,
between retransmitted Neighbor Solicitation messages. Used by
address resolution and the Neighbor Unreachability Detection
algorithm. A value of zero means unspecified (by this router).
Currently NM ignores them; however, since it leaves accept_ra=1, the
kernel parses RAs and applies those parameters for us [1].
In the next commit kernel handling of RAs will be disabled, so let NM
set those neighbor-related parameters.

We no longer add these. If you use Emacs, configure it yourself.
Also, due to our "smart-tab" usage the editor anyway does a subpar
job handling our tabs. However, on the upside every user can choose
whatever tab-width he/she prefers. If "smart-tabs" are used properly
(like we do), every tab-width will work.
No manual changes, just ran commands:
F=($(git grep -l -e '-\*-'))
sed '1 { /\/\* *-\*- *[mM]ode.*\*\/$/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
sed '1,4 { /^\(#\|--\|dnl\) *-\*- [mM]ode/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
Check remaining lines with:
git grep -e '-\*-'
The ultimate purpose of this is to cleanup our files and eventually use
SPDX license identifiers. For that, first get rid of the boilerplate lines.
For the most part, we only have one main .gitignore file.
There were a few nested files, merge them into the main file.
I find it better to have only one gitignore file, otherwise the
list of ignored files is spread out through the working directory.
The defaults for test timeouts in meson is 30 seconds. That is not long
enough when running
$ NMTST_USE_VALGRIND=1 ninja -C build test
Note that meson supports --timeout-multiplier, and automatically
increases the timeout when running under valgrind. However, meson
does not understand that we are running tests under valgrind via
NMTST_USE_VALGRIND=1 environment variable.
Timeouts are really not expected to be reached and are a mean of last
resort. Hence, increasing the timeout to a large value is likely to
have no effect or to fix test failures where the timeout was too rigid.
It's unlikely that the test indeed hangs and the increase of timeout
causes a unnecessary increase of waittime before aborting.
Use the NM_ERRNO_NATIVE() macro that asserts that these errno numbers are
indeed positive. Using the macro also serves as a documentation of what
the meaning of these numbers is.
That is often not obvious, whether we have an nm_errno(), an nm_errno_native()
(from <errno.h>), or another error number (e.g. WaitForNlResponseResult). This
situation already improved by merging netlink error codes (nle),
NMPlatformError enum and <errno.h> as nm_errno(). But we still must
always be careful about not to mix error codes from different
domains or transform them appropriately (like nm_errno_from_native()).
For static functions inside a module, the compiler determines on its own
whether to inline the function.
Also, "inline" was used at some places that don't immediatly look like
candidates for inlining. It was most likely a copy&paste error.
While nm_utils_inet*_ntop() accepts a %NULL buffer to fallback
to a static buffer, don't do that.
I find the possibility of using a static buffer here error prone
and something that should be avoided. There is of course the downside,
that in some cases it requires an additional line of code to allocate
the buffer on the stack as auto-variable.
Correct the spelling across the *entire* tree, including translations,
comments, etc. It's easier that way.
Even the places where it's not exposed to the user, such as tests, so
that we learn how is it spelled correctly.
In the past, the headers "linux/if.h" and "net/if.h" were incompatible.
That means, we can either include one or the other, but not both.
This is fixed in the meantime, however the issue still exists when
building against older kernel/glibc.
That means, including one of these headers from a header file
is problematic. In particular if it's a header like "nm-platform.h",
which itself is dragged in by many other headers.
Avoid that by not including these headers from "platform.h", but instead
from the source files where needed (or possibly from less popular header
files).
Currently there is no problem. However, this allows an unknowing user to
include <net/if.h> at the same time with "nm-platform.h", which is easy
to get wrong.
I am not sure, we ever call complete_address() for router-configurations.
Maybe not, so the dad-counter is never incremented and does not matter either.
If we however do, then we certainly want to preserve the DAD counter
when the address is already tracked.
we use get_expiry() to compare two lifetimes. Note, that previously,
it would correctly truncate the calculated expiry at G_MAXINT32-1.
However, that means, that two different lifetimes that both lie
more than 68 years in the future would compare equal.
Fix that, but extending the range to int64, so that no overflow
can happen.
