While the keys of s390-options are from a well-behaving set of names
(that is enforced by nm_connection_verify()), the values are arbitrary
strings.
Our settings plugin must be able to express all values of a connection,
hence we need to support escapes.
- the previous implementation of nm_setting_wired_get_s390_option()
returned the elements in an arbitrary order (because it just iterated
idx times over the unsorted hash table).
- the API for "s390-options" suggests both accessing by index and by
name. Storing the options in a hash-table is not optimal for lookup
by index. It also requires us to sort the elements over and over
again.
Use instead a sorted array. Note that add/remove of course requires to
move the elements (and has thus O(n)).
- "s390-options" are very seldomly set. We shouldn't pay the price in every
NMSettingWired to allocate a GHashTable and deal with it.
- don't assert in nm_setting_wired_add_s390_option() and
nm_setting_wired_remove_s390_option() that the key is valid.
ifcfg-rh reader understandably does not want to implement additional
logic to pre-validate the key, so any invalid keys would trigger an
assertion failure. We have verify() for this purpose.
"libnm-core" implements common functionality for "NetworkManager" and
"libnm".
Note that clients like "nmcli" cannot access the internal API provided
by "libnm-core". So, if nmcli wants to do something that is also done by
"libnm-core", , "libnm", or "NetworkManager", the code would have to be
duplicated.
Instead, such code can be in "libnm-libnm-core-{intern|aux}.la".
Note that:
0) "libnm-libnm-core-intern.la" is used by libnm-core itsself.
On the other hand, "libnm-libnm-core-aux.la" is not used by
libnm-core, but provides utilities on top of it.
1) they both extend "libnm-core" with utlities that are not public
API of libnm itself. Maybe part of the code should one day become
public API of libnm. On the other hand, this is code for which
we may not want to commit to a stable interface or which we
don't want to provide as part of the API.
2) "libnm-libnm-core-intern.la" is statically linked by "libnm-core"
and thus directly available to "libnm" and "NetworkManager".
On the other hand, "libnm-libnm-core-aux.la" may be used by "libnm"
and "NetworkManager".
Both libraries may be statically linked by libnm clients (like
nmcli).
3) it must only use glib, libnm-glib-aux.la, and the public API
of libnm-core.
This is important: it must not use "libnm-core/nm-core-internal.h"
nor "libnm-core/nm-utils-private.h" so the static library is usable
by nmcli which couldn't access these.
Note that "shared/nm-meta-setting.c" is an entirely different case,
because it behaves differently depending on whether linking against
"libnm-core" or the client programs. As such, this file must be compiled
twice.

From the files under "shared/nm-utils" we build an internal library
that provides glib-based helper utilities.
Move the files of that basic library to a new subdirectory
"shared/nm-glib-aux" and rename the helper library "libnm-core-base.la"
to "libnm-glib-aux.la".
Reasons:
- the name "utils" is overused in our code-base. Everything's an
"utils". Give this thing a more distinct name.
- there were additional files under "shared/nm-utils", which are not
part of this internal library "libnm-utils-base.la". All the files
that are part of this library should be together in the same
directory, but files that are not, should not be there.
- the new name should better convey what this library is and what is isn't:
it's a set of utilities and helper functions that extend glib with
funcitonality that we commonly need.
There are still some files left under "shared/nm-utils". They have less
a unifying propose to be in their own directory, so I leave them there
for now. But at least they are separate from "shared/nm-glib-aux",
which has a very clear purpose.

For one, use NM_ASCII_SPACES as delimiter when reading
"MATCH_INTERFACE_NAME". Previously, it was only " \t".
I think there is no change in behavior otherwise.

In some cases it is convenient to specify ranges of bridge vlans, as
already supported by iproute2 and natively by kernel. With this commit
it becomes possible to add a range in this way:
nmcli connection modify eth0-slave +bridge-port.vlans "100-200 untagged"
vlan ranges can't be PVIDs because only one PVID vlan can exist.

We already have code that parses exactly this kinds of string:
nm_utils_parse_inaddr_prefix_bin(). Use it.
Also, it doesn't use g_strsplit_set() to separate a string at the first
'/'. Total overkill.
The caller should make a conscious decision which delimiters to use.
Unfortunately, there is a variety of different demiters in use. This
should be unitfied and the callers should use one of a few specific
set of delimiters.
This could be unified by (re)using a define as delimiters, like
strv = nm_utils_strsplit_set_full (value, MULTILIST_WITH_ESCAPE_CHARS, NM_UTILS_STRSPLIT_SET_FLAGS_ALLOW_ESCAPING);
where MULTILIST_WITH_ESCAPE_CHARS has a particular meaning that should
be reused for similar uses.
However, leaving the delimiter at NULL is not good because it's unclear who
wants that default behavior (and what the default should be). Don't allow that.
There are almost no callers that relied on this default anyway.
initscripts support rule-* and rule6-* files for that.
Up until now, we ignored these files for the most part, except if
a user configured such files, the profile could not contain any static
routes (or specify a route-table setting). This also worked together
with the dispatcher script "examples/dispatcher/10-ifcfg-rh-routes.sh".
We cannot now start taking over that file format for rules. It might
break existing setups, because we can never fully understand all rules as
they are understood by iproute2. Also, if a user has a rule/rule6 file and
uses NetworkManager successfully today, then clearly there is a script
in place to make that work. We must not break that when adding rules
support.
Hence, store routing rules as numbered "ROUTING_RULE_#" and
"ROUTING_RULE6_#" keys.
Note that we use different keys for IPv4 and IPv6. The main reason is
that the string format is mostly compatible with iproute2. That means,
you can take the value and pass it to `ip rule add`.
However, `ip rule add` only accepts IPv4 rules. For IPv6 rules, the user
needs to call `ip -6 rule add`. If we would use the same key for IPv4
and IPv6, then it would be hard to write a script to do this.
Also, nm_ip_routing_rule_from_string() does take the address family as
hint in this case. This makes
ROUTING_RULE_1="pref 1"
ROUTING_RULE6_1="pref 1"
automatically determine that address families. Otherwise, such
abbreviated forms would be not valid.
It's usually not necessary, because _nm_utils_unescape_spaces()
gets called after nm_utils_strsplit_set(), which already removes
the non-escaped spaces.
Still, for completeness, this should be here. Also, because with
this the function is useful for individual options (not delimiter
separate list values), to support automatically dropping leading or
trailing whitespace, but also support escaping them.
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.
libnm exposes simplified variants of hexstr2bin in its public API. I
think that was a mistake, because libnm should provide NetworkManager
specific utils. It should not provide such string functions.
However, nmcli used to need this, so it was added to libnm.
The better approach is to add it to our internally shared static
library, so that all interested components can make use of it.
- use gs_free instead of explicit free().
- use nm_streq*() instead of strcmp().
- move deletion of existing file after we successfully wrote
the new file.
- add parameter existing_path_readonly, to avoid to overwrite or
delete the existing path (if it exists). This is still mostly unused,
but will be necessary when we have read-only directories.
Next, we will update g_steal_pointer() to cast the return type
to the type of the argument. Hence, this automatic conversion
from setting (sub) classes to NMSetting no longer works.
Add an explict cast.
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.
The 'number' property in GSM settings is a legacy thing that comes
from when ModemManager used user-provided numbers, if any, to connect
3GPP modems.
Since ModemManager 1.0, this property is completely unused for 3GPP
modems, and so it doesn't make sense to use it in the NetworkManager
settings. Ofono does not use it either.
For AT+PPP-based 3GPP modems, the 'number' to call to establish the
data connection is decided by ModemManager itself, e.g. for standard
GSM/UMTS/LTE modems it will connect a given predefined PDP context,
and for other modems like Iridium it will have the number to call
hardcoded in the plugin itself.

The writer should write all properties of the sriov setting when the
setting exists without additional logic. Likewise, the reader should
instantiate a sriov setting when any sriov key is present and blindly
set properties from keys.
The old code did not always preserve the presence of a sriov setting
after a write/read cycle.

Report an error when the user tries to add an unknown attribute
instead of silently accepting (and ignoring) it.
Note that this commit also changes the behavior of public API
nm_utils_sriov_vf_from_str() to return an error when an unknown
attribute is found. I think the previous behavior was buggy as wrong
attributes were simply ignored without any way for the user to know.

This code will be used later.
We want to remember which keyfiles are currently loaded (or hidden).
With the addition or multiple keyfile directories (soon), there are
two cases where this matters:
- if there are multiple keyfiles which reference the same UUID,
we can only load one of them. That is already a problem today
with only one keyfile directory, where multiple files can reference
the same UUID.
The implementation will pick the file based on priorities (like
the file modification date). However, the user may call explicitly
call `nmcli connection load`. In that case, we cannot reload
all files to find out whether the to be loaded file is hidden
according to the defined priorities. We cannot do that, because we
must not make decisions based on files on disk, which we are not told
to reload. So, during a `nmcli connection load` we must look at
unrelated files, to determine how to load the file.
Instead, we do allow the user to load any file, even if it would be
shadowed by other files. When we do that, we may want to persist which
file is currently loaded, so that a service restart and a `nmcli connection
reload` does not undo the load again. This can be later later be solved by
writing a symlink
"/var/run/NetworkManager/system-connections/.loaded-$UUID.nmkeyfile"
which targets the currently active file.
- if a profile was loaded from read-only persistant storage, the user
may still delete the profile. We also need to remember the deletion
of the file. That will be achieved by symlinking "/dev/null" as
"/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/.loaded-$UUID.nmkeyfile".
Add helper functions to read and write these symlinks.
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.
