Instead of looping over all plugins and asking each plugin whether it
can handle a link or a connection, have them advertise the link and
connection types they support, and use that when creating new devices.
For existing devices, depending on the order that netlink sends interfaces to
us, the parent may be found after the VLAN interface and not be available when
the VLAN interface is constructed. Instead of failing construction, when a
NMDeviceVlan has no parent keep it unavailable for activation. Then have
the Manager notify existing devices when a new device is found, and let
NMDeviceVlan find the parent later and become available via that mechanism.
This doesn't apply to VLANs created by NM itself, because the kernel requires
a parent ifindex when creating a VLAN device. Thus this fix only applies to
VLANs created outside NetworkManager, or existing when NM starts up.
beb18050 made this code run for all devices instead of just ethernet
devices, which means any kind of connection gets compared to any
device. But only compatible connections should be considered.
NM never removes the current AP from the AP list, to prevent NM from
indicating that it's connected, but to nothing. But the supplicant
can remove that AP from its list at any time (out of range, turned off,
etc), leading to a priv->current_ap that is no longer known to the
supplicant but still exists in the NM AP list. Since the supplicant
has forgotten it, NM will never receive a removal signal for it.
To ensure that a supplicant-forgotten priv->current_ap is removed
from the NM AP list when priv->current_ap is cleared or changed, mark
any AP removed by the supplicant as 'fake'. It will then always be
removed in set_current_ap() and not linger in the AP list forever like
a zombie.
Instead of tricky logic to merge APs and age them, just tell the
supplicant what our aging parameters are, and rely on it to handle
removal from the list. Notable behavioral changes are:
* APs will now be removed when they haven't been seen for two
consecutive scans in which they would have been included. This
means that when the scan interval is short, out-of-range APs will
be removed much more quickly than the previous 360 seconds.
* APs now live at most 250 seconds (twice our longest scan interval)
instead of the previous 360 seconds.
* The problem with wpa_supplicant < 2.3 not notifying that a BSS has
been seen in the scan if none of its properties actually changed is
now avoided, because an AP is only removed when the supplicant removes it
In general these changes should make the scan list more responsive, at
the cost of slightly more instability in the list due to the unreliability
of WiFi scanning. But it also removes a layer of complexity and
abstraction from NetworkManager, pushing the scan results list closer
to that which the hardware reports.
The VPN connection requests secrets a few times; first it retrieves
only system-owned secrets to see if they are sufficient (and thus
doesn't need to bother the user), then it retrieves existing agent
owned secrets (so the user doesn't get a popup), then finally if
those aren't sufficient it asks the user interactively.
But if there was some error retrieving system secrets, or if there
weren't any system secrets at all, don't fail the VPN connection.
Just go on and ask the user for the secrets.
Now on SIGHUP, when reloading NetworkManager configuration, also reload
the ignore-carrier flag.
While a device is activated, the reload is ignored until the device
deactivates.
Maybe it would be simpler just not to cache ignore_carrer and let it
take effect immediately. But not caching ignore_carrer has the
additional downside that every call to is_available must check the
specs -- which in sum is potentially expensive for something that
almost never changes.

The link test was disabled in commit 67ad3fcb5b.
The previous issues are not fixed, but apparently disabling the test doesn't
help to get it fixed.
Re-enable it and if it fails we have a better reason to fix it.
Or maybe it works now (?). Didn't fail for me...
Throwing away the udev_device instance is wrong. There are two cases:
- the udev-device appears, and the netlink object will never appear
(or is already gone). In this case, keeping the udev-device is ok
because we will eventually get a signal from UDev to cleanup the
device instance.
- the udev-device appears before the netlink object. In this case we
want to keep the udev instance to have it ready.

dns-manager must include <gio/gio.h> itself. Otherwise
compilation only works with WITH_LIBSOUP, which includes
<gio/gio.h> via <libsoup/soup.h>.
This is an old error, but unnoticed until ad6dbc504b
which makes use of gio.h also without NETCONFIG_PATH.
Add a new 'rc-manager' configuration parameter that allows to select
the strategy used to write resolv.conf; currently supported values
are: none|resolvconf|netconfig, 'none' meaning that NM directly writes
the file.
The default value of the parameter is 'none'; however if a
RESOLVCONF_PATH (or NETCONFIG_PATH) is specified at build time, the
default value will be 'resolvconf' (or 'netconfig').
A solicitation loop could result for two cases:
1) a router sent DNS information, then removed that information without
sending it with lifetime=0
2) two routers exist, one sending DNS information and the other not, and
the first router which sends DNS information disappears
In these cases a solicitation would be generated when the DNS information
reached 1/2 its lifetime. A router would then reply to the solicitation
without DNS information, which would then trigger another lifetime check,
which finds that the DNS info is still 1/2 lifetime. Which triggers
another solicitation, etc.
Fix this by ensuring that a solicitation is never sent less than
rtr_solicitation_interval seconds after the last one.
If a route or gateway's priority increased, the item would be added
to the array again without removing the older entry. At the same time
don't bother adding an item with a zero lifetime, since it will just
be removed again by the clean_* functions.
Instead of having it all in the Linux implementation, move all the
timeout logic and most of the processing logic into the NMRDisc
base class so that it can be used by NMFakeRDisc as well. This
will help increase testability since now we can test the timeout
and expiry logic from the fake plugin too.
Always intern string from udev_get_driver().
We use the result of udev_get_driver() for setting NMPlatformLink.driver.
In all other cases, we already set that value to an interned string,
which simplifies memory handling.
As it was, the lifetime of that string was tied to the lifetime of the
GUdevDevice.
This is not a stelar solution, but we assume that the overall numbers
of different drivers is limited so we don't leak large amounts of
memory.
link_extract_type() would return the NMLinkType and a
@type_name string. If the type was unknown, this string
was rtnl_link_get_type() (IFLA_INFO_KIND).
Split up this behavior and treat those values independently.
link_extract_type() now only detects the NMLinkType. Most users
don't care about unknown types and can just use nm_link_type_to_string()
to get a string represenation.
Only nm_platform_link_get_type_name() (and NMDeviceGeneric:type_description)
cared about a more descriptive type. For that, modify link_get_type_name()
to return nm_link_type_to_string() if NMLinkType could be detected.
As fallback, return rtnl_link_get_type().
Also, rename the field NMPlatformLink:link_type to "kind". For now this
field is mostly unused. It will be used later when refactoring platform
caching.
Given the name nm_link_type_to_string(), we would not expect
to find it in nm-linux-platform.c. It either should be named
nm_platform_link_type_to_string() and be put in a new
nm-platform-utils.c file, or it should be named
nm_utils_link_type_to_string() and be put in NetworkManagerUtils.h.
For now, just leave it here.

link_extract_type() would call tun_get_properties() to determine whether
the link if a TAP or TUN device. The previous implementation would
receive the ifindex, and resolve the ifname via lookup in the platform
cache.
This means, the call on link_extract_type() will only succeed to detect
the TUN/TAP properties, if the libnl object is already in the cache.
Currently that is always the case and there is no problem.
It is desireable, that we can resolve the link type of an object without
consulting the platform cache first.
ASSERT_VALID_PATH_COMPONENT() always returns the input argument --
unless it fails an assertion and terminates the program. No need
to require the user to use the return value.
