The "device ... not available because device is strictly unmanaged" is
almost certainly the least interesting of the reasons why connection
can't be activated on a device.
Invent a new error level for it and demote it.
Before:
Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found
for this connection (device lo not available because
device is strictly unmanaged).
After
Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found
for this connection (device eth0 not available because
profile is not compatible with device (...)).

It is not possible to configure a VLAN interface on unmanaged NIC.
This forces users who only want to create a VLAN interface to take
ownership over possibly shared underlying NIC.
In OpenShift, the SR-IOV operator is currently not using
NetworkManager to configure VFs. When it starts working with a NIC,
it explicitly makes it unmanaged. Then, users cannot create a VLAN
interface on PFs managed by the operator.
This commit eliminates this issue by allowing configuring VLAN on
an interface without requesting it to be managed by NetworkManager.
This commit is part of a broader change that eliminates inheriting
the unmanaged condition from the parent of a device, for all device
types:

ensure_teamd_connection() is called from multiple spots. Sometimes
we call opportunistically without having started teamd (e.g. when on
update_connection() when generating a connection for teaming device that
was created) and handle the failure to connect gracefully.
Let's not pollute the logs with things on ERROR level that are not
actually serious. Replace the logging statements with DEBUG or WARN
depending on whether we expect ensure_teamd_connection() to actually
succeed.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/merge_requests/1422
Call teamdctl_port_config_update_raw() when we're attaching a port even
if all of team-slave setting properties are default.
This is done to ensure teamd "knows" about the port (that is,
"teamdctl ... port present" returns success) when we're done activating
the slave connection. It will pick it up anyway from netlink, but that
can happen after the activation is done, resulting in a possible race.

Added the -Wunreachable-code-generic-assoc diagnostic flag (grouped
under the -Wunreachable-code flag) which is enabled by default and warns
the user about _Generic selection associations which are unreachable
because the type specified is an array type or a qualified type.
This causes compiler warnings with various uses of _Generic():

For a long time we have a function like nm_uuid_generate_from_strings().
This was recently reworked and renamed, but it preserved behavior. Preserving
behavior is important for this function, because for the existing users,
we need to keep generating the same UUIDs.
Originally, this function was a variadic function with NULL sentinel.
That means, when you write
nm_uuid_generate_from_strings(uuid_type, type_arg, v1, v2, v3, NULL);
and v2 happens to be NULL, then v3 is ignored. That is most likely not
what the user intended. Maybe they had a bug and v2 should not be NULL.
But nm_uuid_generate_from_strings() should not require that all
arguments are non-NULL and it should not ignore arguments after the
first NULL.
For example, one user works around this via
uuid = nm_uuid_generate_from_strings_old("ibft",
s_hwaddr,
s_vlanid ? "V" : "v",
s_vlanid ? s_vlanid : "",
s_ipaddr ? "A" : "DHCP",
s_ipaddr ? s_ipaddr : "");
which is cumbersome and ugly.
That will be fixed next, by adding a function that doesn't suffer
from this problem. But "this problem" is part of the API of the
function, we cannot just change it. Instead, rename it and all
users, so they can keep doing the same.
New users of course should no longer use the "old" function.
At startup, we remove from ovsdb any existing interface created by NM
and later an interface with the same name might be readded. This can
cause race conditions. Consider this series of events:
1. at startup NM removes the entry from ovsdb;
2. ovsdb reports success;
3. NM inserts an interface with the same name again;
4. ovs-vswitch monitors ovsdb changes, and gets events for removal and
insertion. Depending on how those events are split in different
batches, it might decide:
4a. to delete the link and add it back, or
4b. to keep the existing link because the delete and insertion
cancel out each other.
When NM sees the link staying in platform, it doesn't know if it's
because of 4b or because 4a will happen eventually.
To avoid this ambiguity, after ovsdb reports the successful deletion
NM should also wait that the link disappears from platform.
Unfortunately, this means that ovsdb gets a dependency to the platform
code.

For connections with multi-connect property set to "multiple", the
autoconnect-retries should be tracked per device and not per connection.
That means, if autoconnect-retries is set to 2, each device using that
connection should retry to autoconnect 2 times.
The device autoconnect retries is -2 by default. This is a special
value, in NMPolicy context, if the connection used is multi-connect the
device value will be set to match the connection retries. Each time the
device picks a different connection, it will reset the device
autoconnect retries to -2 and if needed, sync. with the connection
retries.

For new uses of nm_uuid_generate_from_strings() we should generate version5
UUIDs and we should use unique namespace UUID arguments.
The namespace UUID was so far replaced by always passing a special prefix
as first string. It seems nicer to use a namespace instead.
Version3 UUIDs should not be used for new applications.
Hence, nm_uuid_generate_from_strings_v3() is no longer a desirable way to
generate UUIDs, so drop the wrapper.
nm_uuid_generate_from_strings() uses variant3 UUIDs based on MD5.
We shouldn't use that in the future.
We will add a replacement, so rename this function so that the "good"
name is free again. Of course, code that uses this function currently
relies on that the behavior doesn't change. We cannot just drop it
entirely, but will replace it by something that gives the same result.
Rename.
If we're generating a connection for an externally configured slave,
refer the master by the UUID instead of the device name.
This doesn't matter most of the time. However, on a checkpoint restore
we need to make sure that a connection that is unambiguously the original
master is up.
Otherwise it could happen that a different connection was activated on the
same master device and the slaves being restored don't agree on which master
connection to bring up.
I can't think of any thing that would rely on this but I've been wrong
about more serious things before.

If we're notified of a master appearing, make sure there's actually an
ifindex we're waiting for.
Triger an assertion failure if that is not the case, cause that's pretty
messed up.
Since commit a1de6810df ('device: don't ignore external slave removals')
we don't leave device_recheck_slave_status() on un-eslaving (that is
plink->master = 0) early enough.
This results in hooking of NM_MANAGER_DEVICE_IFINDEX_CHANGED even
when we're not actually waiting for any master device to come up,
accompanied by a messed up log entry:
device[3fa7cfc200be4e84] (portXc): enslaved to unknown device 0 (??)
We also log nonsense when we see any device's link being removed:
device[a9a4b65bde851bcf] (br0): ifindex: set ifindex 0 (old-l3cfg: 05c6a4409f84d9d2)
device[45d34e95fb71cce0] (portXa): master br0 with ifindex 0 appeared
We don't do further damage afterwards, so this is purely a cosmetic
annoyance.
This is something that does happen.
Is that a bug? If so, this should not be a warning message but an
assertion failure. If it's not a bug, then this does not warrant warning
level, because the user wouldn't know what to do about this and it's
something that occasionally happens.
Granted, the state handling in NMDevice is complex, that it's unclear
whether this indicates a problem or not. In any case, having a warning
does only confuse the user.
We already have src/linux-headers, where we have complete copies of linux
user space headers. Of course that exists, because we want to use certain
features and don't depend on the installed kernel headers. Which works
well, because kernel user space API is stable, and we anyway want to
support compiling against a newer kernel and run against an older (e.g.
in a container). So having our copy of newer kernel headers is merely
as if we compiled against as newer kernel.
Add "src/nm-compat-headers" which has a similar purpose, but a different
approach. Instead of replacing the included header entirely, include
the system header and patch it with #define.
Use this for "linux/if_addr.h". Of course, the approach here is that we
no longer include <linux/if_addr.h> directly, but instead include
"nm-compat-headers/linux/if_addr.h".
Sync/blocking methods are ugly. Their name should highlight this.
Also, we may have an async variant, so we will need the "good" name
for apply() and apply_finish().
Previously, we used _nm_utils_ascii_str_to_bool(). That can accept any
kind of input (like "true"), so one might think that this is better to
use on user-input. However, NMSettingBond already validates the these
options are integers (either "0" or "1"). So a value like "true"
could never be here.
Use _nm_setting_bond_opt_value_as_intbool() because that asserts that
the option if of the expected type (integer).
These variants provide additional nm_assert() checks, and are thus
preferable.
Note that we cannot just blindly replace &g_array_index() with
&nm_g_array_index(), because the latter would not allow getting a
pointer at index [arr->len]. That might be a valid (though uncommon)
usecase. The correct replacement of &g_array_index() is thus
nm_g_array_index_p().
I checked the code manually and replaced uses of nm_g_array_index_p()
with &nm_g_array_index(), if that was a safe thing to do. The latter
seems preferable, because it is familar to &g_array_index().
Bond option netlink support requires primary property to be a ifindex
instead of the interface name. This is a workaround for supporting
specifying a primary that does not exist yet.
```
nmcli con add type bond ifname mybond0 bond.options "mode=active-backup,primary=veth1"

We've been outright ignoring master-slave checks if the link ended up
without a master since commit 2e22880894 ('device: don't remove the
device from master if its link has no master').
This was done to deal with OpenVSwitch port-interface relationship,
where the interface's platform link lacked an actual master in platform
(what matters there is the OVSDB entry), but the fix was too wide.
Let's limit the special case to devices whose were not enslaved to
masters that lack a platform link, which pretty much happens for
OpenVSwitch only.

The @dracut_NM_vlan_over_team_no_boot sometimes fails, among other
things, because it fails to assume an indicated connection after a
restart.
That seems to happen because after the decision to activate the
indicated connection, the device does not move from DISCONNECTED state
quickly enough. Another assumption recheck runs in between and decides
to generate a connection, because the assume state was already reset
in between.
First start, creates and activates b3a61b68-f744-4a4c-a513-61399c154a67
on vlan0017:
NetworkManager (version 1.41.1-30921.55767cf5.el9) is starting...

Second start:
NetworkManager (version 1.41.1-30921.55767cf5.el9) is starting...
(after a restart, asserts:10000, boot:caf7301a-19cd-498b-b5ba-5d36ee939ffe)
Assumption attempt successfully picks the right connection and thus
proceeds to reset the assume state:
manager: (vlan0017): assume: will attempt to assume matching connection 'vlan0017'
(b3a61b68-f744-4a4c-a513-61399c154a67) (indicated)
device[c7c5101cf0b73f5f] (vlan0017): assume-state: set guess-assume=0, connection=(null)
Everything great so far, activation of the right connection is enqueued
and the device moves away from unavailable state. However, the
activation can't proceed immediately:
device (vlan0017): state change: unmanaged -> unavailable
(reason 'connection-assumed', sys-iface-state: 'assume')
device (vlan0017): state change: unavailable -> disconnected
(reason 'connection-assumed', sys-iface-state: 'assume')
active-connection[0x55ba1162f1c0]: set device "vlan0017" [0x55ba1163c4f0]
device[c7c5101cf0b73f5f] (vlan0017): queue activation request waiting for carrier
Now another assumption attempt is done. The original assume state is
gone, so a connection is generated:
platform-linux: UDEV event: action 'add' subsys 'net' device 'vlan0017' (6); seqnum=1959
device[c7c5101cf0b73f5f] (vlan0017): queued link change for ifindex 6

(nm-generated,volatile,external)
I think this shouldn't have happened. We've picked the correct
connection already and it's enqueued for activation!
Change the check in nm_device_emit_recheck_assume() to also consider
any queued activation.

If teamd crashes, we restore it. That's very nice, but if it really
crashed then it left ports attached and the slave connections are not
going to fail and the port configuration (e.g. priority or link watcher) in
teamd's memory will be gone.
This will restore the port configuration when the teamd connection is
re-established. This probably also fixes a race where a slave connection
would be enslaved (only possible externally and manually?) while we
didn't establish a connection to teamd yet. We'll just send the port
configuration in once're connected.

Add option to set ofport_request when configuring ovs interface. When
connection with ofport_request configured is activated ovsdb will first
try to activated on the port set by ofport_request.
The user might still want to see the scan list, to decide whether to
stop the hotspot/ADHOC connection and connect to something else.
Allow explicit scans.
If the MAC changes there is the possibility that the DHCP client will
not be able to renew the address because it uses the old MAC as
CHADDR. Depending on the implementation, the DHCP server might use
CHADDR (so, the old address) as the destination MAC for DHCP replies,
and those packets will be lost.
To avoid this problem, restart the DHCP client when the MAC changes.

1) The "enabled-on-global-iface" flag was odd. Instead, have only
and "enabled" flag and skip (by default) endpoints on interface
that have no default route. With the new flag "also-without-default-route",
this can be overruled. So previous "enabled-on-global-default" now is
the same as "enabled", and "enabled" from before behaves now like
"enabled,also-without-default-route".
2) What was also odd, as that the fallback default value for the flags
depends on "/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled". There was not one fixed
fallback default, instead the used fallback value was either
"enabled-on-global-iface,subflow" or "disabled".
Usually that is not a problem (e.g. the default value for
"ipv6.ip6-privacy" also depends on use_tempaddr sysctl). In this case
it is a problem, because the mptcp-flags (for better or worse) encode
different things at the same time.
Consider that the mptcp-flags can also have their default configured in
"NetworkManager.conf", a user who wants to switch the address flags
could previously do:
[connection.mptcp]
connection.mptcp-flags=0x32 # enabled-on-global-iface,signal,subflow
but then the global toggle "/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled" was no longer
honored. That means, MPTCP handling was always on, even if the sysctl was
disabled. Now, "enabled" means that it's only enabled if the sysctl
is enabled too. Now the user could write to "NetworkManager.conf"
[connection.mptcp]
connection.mptcp-flags=0x32 # enabled,signal,subflow
and MPTCP handling would still be disabled unless the sysctl
is enabled.
There is now also a new flag "also-without-sysctl", so if you want
to really enable MPTCP handling regardless of the sysctl, you can.
The point of that might be, that we still can configure endpoints,
even if kernel won't do anything with them. Then you could just flip
the sysctl, and it would start working (as NetworkManager configured
the endpoints already).
