This is the IPv6 equivalent of arp_ip_target option. It requires
arp_interval set and allow the user to specify up to 16 IPv6 addresses
as targets. By default, the list is empty.
The valid values for this option are 0 (off) and 1 (on). By default the
value is 1 (on). Please notice that this option is only compatible with
802.3AD mode.
The new arp_missed_max option valid range is 0-255 where value 0 means
not set. Please notice that this option is not compatible with 802.3AD,
balance-tlb and balance-alb modes.
Allows to use this function in GObject introspected languages.
Also workaround a current issue with the gtk-doc parser not taking nested
element-type into account.
This setting allows the user to remove the local route rule that is
autogenerated for both IPv4 and IPv6. By default, NetworkManager won't
touch the local route rule.
dhclient exports the currently used IAID in the environment as
hex string. We expose this environment in our API, so this is also
the format that NetworkManager uses.
Accept setting the ipv[46].dhcp-iaid as hex string, so that the same
format is accepted on the profile.
While at it, also accept a hex number (0x) because it is also
convenient, and this change already introduces the precedent that the
IAID string is not unique/normalized.
The configure flag and APN for the initial EPS bearer are used when
bringing up cellular modem connections. These settings are only relevant
for LTE modems.

The onlink flag is part of each next hop.
When NetworkManager configures ECMP routes, we won't support that. All
next hops of an ECMP route must share the same onlink flag. That is fine
and fixed by this commit.
What is not fine, is that we don't track the rtnh_flags flags in
NMPlatformIP4RtNextHop, and consequently our nmp_object_id_cmp() is
wrong.

(cherry picked from commit 6ed966258c)
In kernel, the valid range for the weight is 1-256 (on netlink this is
expressed as u8 in rtnh_hops, ranging 0-255).
We need an additional value, to represent
- unset weight, for non-ECMP routes in kernel.
- in libnm API, to express routes that should not be merged as ECMP
routes (the default).
Extend the type in NMPlatformIP4Route.weight to u16, and fix the code
for the special handling of the numeric range.
Also the libnm API needs to change. Modify the type of the attribute on
D-Bus from "b" to "u", to use a 32 bit integer. We use 32 bit, because
we already have common code to handle 32 bit unsigned integers, despite
only requiring 257 values. It seems better to stick to a few data types
(u32) instead of introducing more, only because the range is limited.

Iterating over a hash table is not deterministic. When we have
two invalid keys in ovs-external-ids, we should deterministically
get the same error message.
Instead, iterate over the (sorted) keys. This does have an overhead,
because we need to fetch the keys, and we need to lookup each value
by key. Still, correctness and determinism is more important.
The same will also be used by "ovs-other-config". Also, there should be
a general concept, meaning, we should have a function whether a character
is from some benign set, and not whether we have a character usable for
keys of "ovs-external-ids".
Like for our other immutable/sealable types, make ref/unref thread safe.
That is important, as the boxed types only increase the ref-count on
copy. If ref/unref is not thread-safe, it means you cannot copy a boxed
type, and operate on the copy on another thread.
Fixes: 041e38b151 ('libnm: add NMRange')
The types NMBridgeVlan, NMIPRoutingRule, NMRange, NMWireGuardPeer
are immutable (or immutable, after the seal() function is called).
Immutable types are great, as it means a reference to them can be shared
without doing a full clone. Hence the G_DEFINE_BOXED_TYPE() for these
types prefers to take a reference instead of cloning the objects. Except
for sealable types, where it will prefer to clone unsealed values.
Likewise, nm_simple_connection_new_clone() probably will just take
another reference to the value, instead of doing a deep clone.
libnm is not a thread-safe library in the sense that you could pass a
NMConnection or NMClient instance to multiple threads and access them
without your own synchronization. However, it should be possible that
multiple threads access (seemingly) distinct objects.
As the copy function of these boxed types (and nm_simple_connection_new_clone()
and similar) prefers to share the references to immutable types, it is important
that the ref function is thread-safe too. Otherwise you cannot just clone a
NMConnection on thread1, hand the clone to thread2 and operate on the
clone and the original independently. If you do before this patch, you would
hit a subtle race condition.
Avoid that. While atomic operations have a runtime overhead, being safe
is more important. Also, we already save a full malloc()/free() by
having immutable, ref-counted types. We just need to make it safe to use
in order to fully benefit from it.
Introduce a "vlan.protocol" property that specifies the protocol of a
VLAN, which controls the tag (EtherType) used for encapsulation.
Regular VLANs use 802.1Q (tag 0x8100). To implement VLAN stacking it's
sometimes useful to have 802.1ad VLANs with tag 0x88A8.
The property is a string instead of e.g. an enum because this allows
maximum flexibility in the future. For example, it becomes possible to
specify an arbitrary number in case if the kernel ever allows it.
There are two benefits:
- the returned (allocated) string will have exactly the required
length and no excess buffer that was used to build the string.
- the string is (most likely) short enough to fit in 488 bytes on the
stack. There is no re-allocation necessary to grow the buffer.
The warning "-Wcast-align=strict" seems useful and will be enabled
next. Fix places that currently cause the warning by using the
new macro NM_CAST_ALIGN(). This macro also nm_assert()s that the alignment
is correct.
GArray.data is a char pointer. Most of the time we track other data in
a GArray. Casting that pointer can trigger "-Wcast-align=strict"
warnings.
Avoid them. Most of the time, instead use the nm_g_array*() helpers,
which also assert that the expected element size is correct.
A loopback interface cannot be attached to a controller interface (in kernel).
Also, we have special handling for the loopback address 127.0.0.1. It's
not clear how that should behave when the loopback device would be
attached to another interface.
Just reject such configuration as invalid.
Fixes: e8618f03d7 ('support loopback interface')
openvswitch accepts "dot1q-tunnel" as vlan mode:
A dot1q-tunnel port is somewhat like an access port. Like an
access port, it carries packets on the single VLAN specified
in the tag column and this VLAN, called the service VLAN,
does not appear in an 802.1Q header for packets that ingress
or egress on the port. The main difference lies in the be‐
havior when packets that include a 802.1Q header ingress on
the port. Whereas an access port drops such packets, a
dot1q-tunnel port treats these as double-tagged with the
outer service VLAN tag and the inner customer VLAN taken
from the 802.1Q header. Correspondingly, to egress on the
port, a packet outer VLAN (or only VLAN) must be tag, which
is removed before egress, which exposes the inner (customer)
VLAN if one is present.
Support this mode.
Add a new "ovs-port.trunks" property that indicates which VLANs are
trunked by the port.
At ovsdb level the property is just an array of integers; on the
command line, ovs-vsctl accepts ranges and expands them.
In NetworkManager the ovs-port setting stores the trunks directly as a
list of ranges.
The next commit is going to introduce a new object in libnm to
represent a range of ovs-port VLANs. A "range of integers" object
seems something that can be used for other purposes in the future, so
instead of adding an object specific for this case
(e.g. NMOvsPortVlanRange), introduce a generic NMRange object that
generically represents a range of non-negative integers.
Support managing the loopback interface through NM as the users want to
set the proper mtu for loopback interface when forwarding the packets.
Additionally, the IP addresses, DNS, route and routing rules are also
allowed to configure for the loopback connection profiles.

This is the version shipped in Fedora 37. As Fedora 37 is now out, the
core developers switch to it. Our gitlab-ci will also use that as base
image for the check-{patch.tree} tests and to generate the pages. There
is a need that everybody agrees on which clang-format version to use,
and that version should be the one of the currently used Fedora release.
Also update the used Fedora image in "contrib/scripts/nm-code-format-container.sh"
script.
The gitlab-ci still needs update in the following commit. The change
in isolation will break the "check-tree" test.
We must consume the reference, like we would in the other case.
Interestingly, I am unable to reproduce a case where valgrind would
complain about the leak. But it is there nonetheless.
