A lot of drivers actually support changing the MAC address of a link
without taking it down.
Taking down a link is very bad, because kernel will remove routes
and IPv6 addresses.
For example, if the user used a dispatcher script to add routes,
these will be lost. Note that we may change the MAC address of a
device any time. For example, a VLAN device watches the parent's
MAC address and configures it (with a logging message "parent hardware
address changed to ...").
Try first whether we can change the MAC address without taking the
link down. Only if that fails, retry with taking it down first.

Add a new mode for the DHCPv4 client identifier.
"duid" is what the internal (systemd) DHCP client already does by
default. It is also the same as used by systemd-networkd's
"ClientIdentifier=duid" setting. What we still lack (compared to
networkd) are a way to overwrite IAID and the DUID.
Previously, this mode was used by the internal DHCP plugin
by default. However, it could not be explicitly configured.
In general, our default values should also be explicitly selectable.
Now the "duid" client identifier can also be used with the "dhclient"
plugin.
(cherry picked from commit 8861ac2976)
We already had "${DEVICE}" which uses the interface name.
In times of predictable interface naming, that works well.
It allows the user to generate IDs per device which don't
change when the hardware is replaced.
"${MAC}" is similar, except that is uses the permanent MAC
address of the device. The substitution results in the empty
word, if the device has no permanent MAC address (like software
devices).
The per-device substitutions "${DEVICE}" and "${MAC}" are especially
interesting with "connection.multi-connect=multiple".

- use NMUuid type where appropriate.
- no error handling for generate_duid_from_machine_id().
It cannot fail anymore.
- add thread-safety to generate_duid_from_machine_id() with
double-checked locking.
- use unions for converting the sha256 digest to the target
type.
(cherry picked from commit 50121ee028)
For testing purpose, it's bad to let nm_utils_stable_id_parse()
directly access nm_utils_get_boot_id_str(). Instead, the function
should have no side-effects.
Since the boot-id is anyway cached, accessing it is cheap. Even
if it likely won't be needed.
(cherry picked from commit c51e63feb6)
Previously, whenever we needed /etc/machine-id we would re-load it
from file. The are 3 downsides of that:
- the smallest downside is the runtime overhead of repeatedly
reading the file and parse it.
- as we read it multiple times, it may change anytime. Most
code in NetworkManager does not expect or handle a change of
the machine-id.
Generally, the admin should make sure that the machine-id is properly
initialized before NetworkManager starts, and not change it. As such,
a change of the machine-id should never happen in practice.
But if it would change, we would get odd behaviors. Note for example
how generate_duid_from_machine_id() already cached the generated DUID
and only read it once.
It's better to pick the machine-id once, and rely to use the same
one for the remainder of the program.
If the admin wants to change the machine-id, NetworkManager must be
restarted as well (in case the admin cares).
Also, as we now only load it once, it makes sense to log an error
(once) when we fail to read the machine-id.
- previously, loading the machine-id could fail each time. And we
have to somehow handle that error. It seems, the best thing what we
anyway can do, is to log an error once and continue with a fake
machine-id. Here we add a fake machine-id based on the secret-key
or the boot-id. Now obtaining a machine-id can no longer fail
and error handling is no longer necessary.
Also, ensure that a machine-id of all zeros is not valid.
Technically, a machine-id is not an RFC 4122 UUID. But it's
the same size, so we also use NMUuid data structure for it.
While at it, also refactor caching of the boot-id and the secret
key. In particular, fix the thread-safety of the double-checked
locking implementations.
(cherry picked from commit 8308311264)
We already have nm_utils_bin2hexstr() and _nm_utils_bin2hexstr_full().
This is confusing.
- nm_utils_bin2hexstr() is public API of libnm. Also, it has
a last argument @final_len to truncate the string at that
length.
It uses no delimiter and lower-case characters.
- _nm_utils_bin2hexstr_full() does not do any truncation, but
it has options to specify a delimiter, the character case,
and to update a given buffer in-place. Also, like
nm_utils_bin2hexstr() and _nm_utils_bin2hexstr() it can
allocate a new buffer on demand.
- _nm_utils_bin2hexstr() would use ':' as delimiter and make
the case configurable. Also, it would always allocate the returned
buffer.
It's too much and confusing. Drop _nm_utils_bin2hexstr() which is internal
API and just a wrapper around _nm_utils_bin2hexstr_full().
(cherry picked from commit b537c0388a)
The need for this is the following:
"ipv4.dhcp-client-id" can be specified via global connection defaults.
In absence of any configuration in NetworkManager, the default depends
on the DHCP client plugin. In case of "dhclient", the default further
depends on /etc/dhcp.
For "internal" plugin, we may very well want to change the default
client-id to "mac" by universally installing a configuration
snippet
[connection-use-mac-client-id]
ipv4.dhcp-client-id=mac
However, if we the user happens to enable "dhclient" plugin, this also
forces the client-id and overrules configuration from /etc/dhcp. The real
problem is, that dhclient can be configured via means outside of NetworkManager,
so our defaults shall not overwrite defaults from /etc/dhcp.
With the new device spec, we can avoid this issue:
[connection-dhcp-client-id]
match-device=except:dhcp-plugin:dhclient
ipv4.dhcp-client-id=mac
This will be part of the solution for rh#1640494. Note that merely
dropping a configuration snippet is not yet enough. More fixes for
DHCP will follow. Also, bug rh#1640494 may have alternative solutions
as well. The nice part of this new feature is that it is generally
useful for configuring connection defaults and not specifically for
the client-id issue.
Note that this match spec is per-device, although the plugin is selected
globally. That makes some sense, because in the future we may or may not
configure the DHCP plugin per-device or per address family.

(cherry picked from commit b9eb264efe)
Using these unormalized was wrong all along, but by chance didn't hit
paths that needed normalized connections. This may change if we
actually write in memory connections to /run with the keyfile plugin,
because that one wants them normalized.
This also saves some work, because normalization does boring things for
us, such as adding default ipv4/ipv6/proxy settings everywhere.

On networked boot we need to somehow communicate this to the early boot
machinery. Sadly, no DBus there and we're running in configure-and-quit
mode.
Abusing the state file for this sounds almost reasonable and is
reasonably straightforward thing to do.

This flag is more granular in whether to consider the connection
available or not. We probably should never check for the combined
flag NM_DEVICE_CHECK_CON_AVAILABLE_FOR_USER_REQUEST directly, but
always explicitly for the relevant parts.
Also, improve the error message, to indicate whether the device is
strictly unmanaged or whether it could be overruled.
(cherry picked from commit 920346a5b9)
The flags NMDeviceCheckConAvailableFlags and NMDeviceCheckDevAvailableFlags
both control whether a device appears available (either, available in
general, or related to a particular profile).
Also, both flag types strictly increase availability. Meaning: more flags,
more available.
There is some overlap between the flags, however they still have
their own distinct parts.
Improve the mapping from NMDeviceCheckConAvailableFlags to
NMDeviceCheckDevAvailableFlags, by picking exactly the flags
that are relevant.
(cherry picked from commit 5412fd389b)
In update update_ext_ip_config() we remove from various internal
configurations those addresses and routes that were removed externally
by users.
When the interface is brought down, the kernel automatically removes
routes associated with it and so we should not consider them as
"removed by users".
Instead, keep them so that they can be restored when the interface
comes up again.

device_link_changed() can't use nm_device_update_from_platform_link()

was_up = priv->up;
priv->up = NM_FLAGS_HAS (info.n_ifi_flags, IFF_UP);

never succeed.

libcurl does not allow removing easy-handles from within a curl
callback.
That was already partly avoided for one handle alone. That is, when
a handle completed inside a libcurl callback, it would only invoke the
callback, but not yet delete it. However, that is not enough, because
from within a callback another handle can be cancelled, leading to
the removal of (the other) handle and a crash:

Fix that, by never invoking any callbacks when we are inside a libcurl
callback. Instead, the handle is marked for completion and queued. Later,
we complete all queue handles separately.
While at it, drop the @error argument from NMConnectivityCheckCallback.
It was only used to signal cancellation. Let's instead signal that via
status NM_CONNECTIVITY_CANCELLED.

Later we want to fully support wireguard devices. Also,
possibly activating a generic profile in a wireguard device
would make sense.
Anyway, for the moment, just prevent that from happening
by explicitly marking the device as unmanaged.
(cherry picked from commit e3bd482329)
Currently, NMDeviceWireguard does neither set connection_type_check_compatible
nor implement check_connection_compatible. That means, it appears to be compatible
with every connection profile, which is obviously wrong.
Allow devices not to implement check_connection_compatible() and avoid the issue
by rejecting profiles by default.

NMConnection is an interface, which is implemented by the types
NMSimpleConnection (libnm-core), NMSettingsConnection (src) and
NMRemoteConnection (libnm).
NMSettingsConnection does a lot of things already:
1) it "is-a" NMDBusObject and exports the API of a connection profile
on D-Bus
2) it interacts with NMSettings and contains functionality
for tracking the profiles.
3) it is the base-class of types like NMSKeyfileConnection and
NMIfcfgConnection. These handle how the profile is persisted
on disk.
4) it implements NMConnection interface, to itself track the
settings of the profile.
3) and 4) would be better implemented via delegation than inheritance.
Address 4) and don't let NMSettingsConnection implemente the NMConnection
interface. Instead, a settings-connection references now a NMSimpleConnection
instance, to which it delegates for keeping the actual profiles.
Advantages:
- by delegating, there is a clearer separation of what
NMSettingsConnection does. For example, in C we often required
casts from NMSettingsConnection to NMConnection. NMConnection
is a very trivial object with very little logic. When we have
a NMConnection instance at hand, it's good to know that it is
*only* that simple instead of also being an entire
NMSettingsConnection instance.
The main purpose of this patch is to simplify the code by separating
the NMConnection from the NMSettingsConnection. We should generally
be aware whether we handle a NMSettingsConnection or a trivial
NMConnection instance. Now, because NMSettingsConnection no longer
"is-a" NMConnection, this distinction is apparent.
- NMConnection is implemented as an interface and we create
NMSimpleConnection instances whenever we need a real instance.
In GLib, interfaces have a performance overhead, that we needlessly
pay all the time. With this change, we no longer require
NMConnection to be an interface. Thus, in the future we could compile
a version of libnm-core for the daemon, where NMConnection is not an
interface but a GObject implementation akin to NMSimpleConnection.
- In the previous implementation, we cannot treat NMConnection immutable
and copy-on-write.
For example, when NMDevice needs a snapshot of the activated
profile as applied-connection, all it can do is clone the entire
NMSettingsConnection as a NMSimpleConnection.
Likewise, when we get a NMConnection instance and want to keep
a reference to it, we cannot do that, because we never know
who also references and modifies the instance.
By separating NMSettingsConnection we could in the future have
NMConnection immutable and copy-on-write, to avoid all unnecessary
clones.
Add a helper function nm_device_parent_find_for_connection() to
unify implementations of setting the parent in update_connection().
There is some change in behavior, in particular for nm-device-vlan.c,
which no longer compares the link information from platform. But
update_connection() is anyway a questionable concept, only used
for external assumed connection (which itself, is questionable). Meaning,
update_connection() is a hack not science, and it's not at all clear
what the correct behavior is.
Also, note how vlan's implementation differs from all others. Why?
Should we always resort to also check the information from platform?
Either way, one of the two approaches should be used consistently and
nm_device_parent_find_for_connection() opts to not consult platform
cache.
These should be logged on DEBUG level:
<warn> platform-linux: do-change-link[2]: failure changing link: failure 97 (Address family not supported by protocol)
<warn> device (wlo1): failed to enable userspace IPv6LL address handling (unspecified)

For dynamic IP methods (DHCP, IPv4LL, WWAN) the route metric is set at
activation/renewal time using the value from static configuration. To
support runtime change we need to update the dynamic configuration in
place and tell the DHCP client the new value to use for future
renewals.

When the IPv4 method is 'auto' and there are static addresses
configured in the connection, start a DAD probe for the static
addresses and apply them immediately on success, without waiting for
DHCP to complete.
Note that if the static address is in the same subnet of the DHCP one,
when we add the DHCP address we want it to be primary and so we will
remove the static address temporarily to achieve the right order of
addresses.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1369905
Note the special error codes NM_UTILS_ERROR_CONNECTION_AVAILABLE_*.
This will be used to determine, whether the profile is fundamentally
incompatible with the device, or whether just some other properties
mismatch. That information will be importand during a plain `nmcli
connection up`, where NetworkManager searches all devices for a device
to activate. If no device is found (and multiple errors happened),
we want to show the error that is most likely relevant for the user.
Also note, how NMDevice's check_connection_compatible() uses the new
class field "device_class->connection_type_check_compatible" to simplify
checks for compatible profiles.
The error reason is still unused.
We previously kept any acd-manager running if the device was
disconnected. It was possible to trigger a crash by setting a long
dad-timeout and interrupting the activation request:
nmcli con add type ethernet ifname eth0 con-name eth0+ ip4 1.2.3.4/32
nmcli con mod eth0+ ipv4.dad-timeout 10000
nmcli -w 2 con up eth0+
nmcli con down eth0+
After this, the n-acd timer would fire after 10 seconds and try to
disconnect an already disconnected device, throwing the assertion:
NetworkManager:ERROR:src/devices/nm-device.c:9845:
activate_stage5_ip4_config_result: assertion failed: (req)
