by moving the core functionality to "nm-dedup-multi.c".
As the ref-counting mechanism now is part of "nm-dedup-multi.c",
this works better and is reusable outside of platform.
NMPlatform's cache should be directly accessible to the users,
at least the NMPLookup part and the fact that the cache contains
ref-counted, immutable NMPObjects.
This allows users to inspect the cache with zero overhead. Meaning,
they can obtain an NMDedupMultiHeadEntry and iterate the objects
themself. It also means, the are free to take and keep references
of the NMPObject instances (of course, without modifying them!).
NMFakePlatform will use the very same cache. The fake platform should
only differ when modifying the objects.
Another reason why this makes sense is because NMFakePlatform is for one
a test-stup but also tests behavior of platform itself. Using a separate
internal implementation for the caching is a pointless excecise, because
only the real NMPCache's implementation really matters for production.
So, either NMFakePlatform behaves idential, or it is buggy. Reuse it.
Port fake platform's tracking of routes to NMPCache and move duplicate
code from NMLinuxPlatform to the base class.
This commit only ports IP routes, eventually also addresses and links
should be tracked via the NMPCache instance.
We want to expose the NMPLookup and NMDedupMultiHeadEntry to the users
of NMPlatform, so that they can iterate the cache directly.
That means, NMPCache becames an integral part of NMPlatform's API
and must also be implemented by NMFakePlatform.
We want to move the multi_idx from NMLinuxPlatform to NMPlatform,
so that it can be used by NMFakePlatform as well. For that, we need
to know whether NMPlatform will use udev or not. Add a constrctor
property.
Rework platform object cache to use NMDedupMultiIndex.
Already previously, NMPCache used NMMultiIndex and had thus
O(1) for most operations. What is new is:
- Contrary to NMMultiIndex, NMDedupMultiIndex preserves the order of
the cached items. That is crucial to handle routes properly as kernel
will replace the first matching route based on network/plen/metric
properties. See related bug rh#1337855.
Without tracking the order of routes as they are exposed
by kernel, we cannot properly maintain the route cache.
- All NMPObject instances are now treated immutable, refcounted
and get de-duplicated via NMDedupMultiIndex. This allows
to have a global NMDedupMultiIndex that can be shared with
NMIP4Config and NMRouteManager. It also allows to share the
objects themselves.
Immutable objects are so much nicer. We can get rid of the
update pre-hook callback, which was required previously because
we would mutate the object inplace. Now, we can just update
the cache, and compare obj_old and obj_new after the fact.
- NMMultiIndex was treated as an internal of NMPCache. On the other
hand, NMDedupMultiIndex exposes NMDedupMultiHeadEntry, which is
basically an object that allows to iterate over all related
objects. That means, we can now lookup objects in the cache
and give the NMDedupMultiHeadEntry instance to the caller,
which then can iterate the list on it's own -- without need
for copying anything.
Currently, at various places we still create copies of lookup
results. That can be improved later.
The ability to share NMPObject instances should enable us to
significantly improve performance and scale with large number
of routes.
Of course there is a memory overhead of having an index for each list
entry. Each NMPObject may also require an NMDedupMultiEntry,
NMDedupMultiHeadEntry, and NMDedupMultiBox item, which are tracked
in a GHashTable. Optimally, one NMDedupMultiHeadEntry is the head
for multiple objects, and NMDedupMultiBox is able to deduplicate several
NMPObjects, so that there is a net saving.
Also, each object type has several indexes of type NMPCacheIdType.
So, worst case an NMPlatformIP4Route in the platform cache is tracked
by 8 NMPCacheIdType indexes, for each we require a NMDedupMultiEntry,
plus the shared NMDedupMultiHeadEntry. The NMDedupMultiBox instance
is shared between the 8 indexes (and possibly other).
NMIP4Config, NMIP6Config, and NMPlatform shall share one
NMDedupMultiIndex instance.
For that, pass an NMDedupMultiIndex instance to NMPlatform and NMNetns.
NMNetns than passes it on to NMDevice, NMDhcpClient, NMIP4Config and NMIP6Config.
So currently NMNetns is the access point to the shared NMDedupMultiIndex
instance, and it gets it from it's NMPlatform instance.
The NMDedupMultiIndex instance is really a singleton, we don't want
multiple instances of it. However, for testing, instead of adding a
singleton instance, pass the instance explicitly around.
Commits 39d0559d9a ("platform: sort links by name instead of
ifindex") and 529a0a1a7f ("manager: sort slaves to be autoconnected
by device name") changed the order of activation of slaves. Introduce
a system-wide configuration property to preserve the old behavior.

Arguably, we currently only have one instance of NMPlatform,
NMRouteManager, NMDefaultRouteManager -- the one owned by the
NMNetns singleton.
Hence, all these instances we create with "log-with-ptr" set explicitly
to false.
In the future we want to support namespaces, and it will be be common to
have multiple instances. For that we have "log-with-ptr" so we are able
to disambiguiate the logging.
Change the default to TRUE because it makes more sense. It has currently
no effect as the default is never used.
(cherry picked from commit 41148caba8)
NMPlatform, NMRouteManager and NMDefaultRouteManager are singletons
instances. Users of those are for example NMDevice, which registers
to GObject signals of both NMPlatform and NMRouteManager.
Hence, as NMDevice:dispose() disconnects the signal handlers, it must
ensure that those singleton instances live longer then the NMDevice
instance. That is usually accomplished by having users of singleton
instances own a reference to those instances.
For NMDevice that effectively means that it shall own a reference to
several singletons.
NMPlatform, NMRouteManager, and NMDefaultRouteManager are all
per-namespace. In general it doesn't make sense to have more then
one instances of these per name space. Nnote that currently we don't
support multiple namespaces yet. If we will ever support multiple
namespaces, then a NMDevice would have a reference to all of these
manager instances. Hence, introduce a new class NMNetns which bundles
them together.
(cherry picked from commit 0af2f5c28b)
We should try to guarantee a stable activation order of connections
across reboots; this is required, for example, for bonds because they
get assigned the MAC address of the first device enslaved, and thus
changing the activation order of slaves means also changing the MAC
address of the bond. Since we activate connections in the order links
are discovered, having a stable sorting of links returned by platform
is enough.
The ifindex of interfaces can change between reboots as it depends on
the order in which kernel discover interfaces. Provided that the
system uses a mechanism to enforce persistent interface naming (as
udev rules or systemd-udevd predictable names), and that NM starts
after all interfaces have been announced by udev, using the interface
name instead of ifindex will guarantee a consistent order.
ip4_addr_subnets_is_secondary() should fill the list of addresses in
the same subnet also when returning FALSE, because
nm_platform_ip4_address_sync() uses it.
Fixes: 2f68a50041
The kernel already takes care of adding and updating temporary
addresses when an address with IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR flag is added or
updated; doing it also in nm_platform_ip6_address_sync() can overwrite
the changes done by kernel, especially because since commit
0a0bca9c7f ("ip6-config: sort addresses only when reading the
property value") there is no guarantee that temporary addresses are
before the public ones in the IPv6 configuration.
Still delete temporary addresses, but don't add or update them.
The ioctl APIs ethtool/mii require an interface ifname. That is inherrently
racy as interfaces can be renamed. This cannot be fixed, we can only
minimize the time between verifying the ifname and calling ioctl.
We already had problems with that when ethtool would access an interface
by name that didn't exists. See commit ab41c13b06 .
Checking for an existing interface only helps avoiding races when an interface
gets deleted. It does not help against renaming.
Go one step further, and instead of checking whether such an ifname
exists, try to get the ifname based on the ifindex immediately before
we need it.
This brings an additional overhead for each ethtool access.
nm_platform_ip4_address_sync() tries to apply the new configuration
with the minimum effort and doesn't delete addresses if they are
already present on the interface. This can break the ordering, as an
existing address would be promoted by kernel to primary, even if it
was last in our configuration.
Add some logic to ensure the correct order of addresses is always
enforced. This fixes situations like:
# nmcli connection add type ethernet ifname eth0 con-name t \
ipv4.method manual \
ipv4.addresses "1.1.1.1/24,1.1.1.2/24,1.1.1.5/24"
# nmcli connection up t
=> addresses are applied in the right order:
inet 1.1.1.1/24 brd 1.1.1.255 scope global eth0
inet 1.1.1.2/24 brd 1.1.1.255 scope global secondary eth0
inet 1.1.1.5/24 brd 1.1.1.255 scope global secondary eth0
# nmcli connection mod t ipv4.addresses "1.1.1.5/24,1.1.1.2/24,1.1.1.1/24"
# nmcli device reapply eth0
=> order is wrong:
inet 1.1.1.2/24 brd 1.1.1.255 scope global eth0
inet 1.1.1.5/24 brd 1.1.1.255 scope global secondary eth0
inet 1.1.1.1/24 brd 1.1.1.255 scope global secondary eth0

Added platform functions to retrieve device link mode status and to
switch from auto to manual link negotiation:
nm_platform_ethtool_get_link_settings
nm_platform_ethtool_set_link_settings
We only needed proper glib enum types for having properties
and signal arguments. These got all converted to plain int,
so no longer generate such an enum type.
Had to rename "nm-enum-types.h" because it works badly with
"libnm/nm-enum-types.h". Maybe I could fix that differently,
but duplicate names is anyway error prone.
Note that "nm-core-enum-types.h" is already taken too, so
"nm-src-enum-types.h" it is.
