Add 3 variants of _nm_utils_hexstr2bin*():
- _nm_utils_hexstr2bin_full(), which takes a preallocated
buffer and fills it.
- _nm_utils_hexstr2bin_alloc() which returns a malloc'ed
buffer
- _nm_utils_hexstr2bin_buf(), which fills a preallocated
buffer of a specific size.
We already have nm_utils_bin2hexstr() and _nm_utils_bin2hexstr_full().
This is confusing.
- nm_utils_bin2hexstr() is public API of libnm. Also, it has
a last argument @final_len to truncate the string at that
length.
It uses no delimiter and lower-case characters.
- _nm_utils_bin2hexstr_full() does not do any truncation, but
it has options to specify a delimiter, the character case,
and to update a given buffer in-place. Also, like
nm_utils_bin2hexstr() and _nm_utils_bin2hexstr() it can
allocate a new buffer on demand.
- _nm_utils_bin2hexstr() would use ':' as delimiter and make
the case configurable. Also, it would always allocate the returned
buffer.
It's too much and confusing. Drop _nm_utils_bin2hexstr() which is internal
API and just a wrapper around _nm_utils_bin2hexstr_full().
It's just more convenient, as it allows better chaining.
Also, allow passing %NULL as @out buffer. It's clear how
large the output buffer must be, so for convenience let the
function (optionally) allocate a new buffer.
This behavior of whether to
- take @out, fill it, and return @out
- take no @out, allocate new buffer, fill and and return it
is slightly error prone. But it was already error prone before, when
it would accept an input buffer without explicit buffer length. I think
this makes it more safe, because in the common case the caller can avoid
pre-allocating a buffer of the right size and the function gets it
right.
Add support for building with meson, enabled by '--with meson' so that
we can regularly test the whole build+test+install procedure with
meson. I compared the RPM contents of NM, NM-libnm, NM-libnm-devel
packages and they match the autotools ones. It's also faster:
$ time contrib/fedora/rpm/build_clean.sh -g -Q -f
real 3m54.239s
user 11m15.000s
sys 1m28.456s
$ time contrib/fedora/rpm/build_clean.sh -g -Q -f -w meson
real 3m9.938s
user 9m5.225s
sys 1m4.392s
In NetworkManager-libnm-devel we ship the same documentation in two
different places:
/usr/share/doc/NetworkManager-libnm-devel
/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/NetworkManager
Remove the former, which was added in commit e01c17523a.
Also, remove the same documentation from NetworkManager-glib-devel
since it's already present in NetworkManager-libnm-devel.
We need to copy all introspection files to the same directory when
building the documentation.
Note that we only require Meson 0.44, but for the documentation at
least 0.46 is needed because of a new functionality of
gnome.gdbus_codegen(). In this way we can still build on Travis CI
(without documentation).
NMAcdManager is a rather simple instance.
It does not need (thread-safe) ref-counting, in fact, having
it ref-counted makes it slighly ugly that we connect a signal,
but never bother to disconnect it (while the ref-counted instance
could outlife the signal subscriber).
We also don't need GObject signals. They have more overhead
and are less type-safe than a regular function pointers. Signals
would make sense, if there could be multiple independent listeners,
but that just doesn't make sense.
Implementing it as a plain struct is less lines of code, and less
runtime over head.
Also drop the possiblitiy to reset the NMAcdManager instance.
It wasn't needed and I think it was buggy because it wouldn't
reset the n-acd instance.

Kernel complains with:
platform-linux: link: change 10: token: set IPv6 address generation token to ::bbbb
platform-linux: do-change-link[10]: failure changing link: failure 22 (Invalid argument)
if we try to set an IPv6 token in ip_config_merge_and_apply() and we
haven't set accept_ra=1 yet. Since the flag is set when starting
router discovery, ensure that we don't try to set a token before that.

The net.connman.iwd.Station interface, unlike the Device interface, can
go away and come back when the device changes modes or goes DOWN and UP.
The GDbusProxy for the interface becomes invalid after the interface
disappeared and reappeared. This would make the IWD backend stop
working after rfkill was used or after suspend/resume (provided the
suspend/resume events are detected, without them everything works and is
really fast too).
Redo the handling of the Powered property changes, corresponding to
device UP state, to get a new GDBusProxy when the Station interface
reappears. Simplify some checks knowing that priv->can_scan implies for
example that the Station interface is present, and that priv->enabled
implies the NM device state is >= DISCONNECTED.

When there are profiles with wifi.hidden=yes, NetworkManager
will actively scan for these SSIDs. This makes the scan request
(and thus the user) recognizable and trackable.
It seems generally a bad idea to use hidden networks, as they
compromise either the privacy or usablity for the clients.
Log a (rate-limited) warning about this.
In update update_ext_ip_config() we remove from various internal
configurations those addresses and routes that were removed externally
by users.
When the interface is brought down, the kernel automatically removes
routes associated with it and so we should not consider them as
"removed by users".
Instead, keep them so that they can be restored when the interface
comes up again.
device_link_changed() can't use nm_device_update_from_platform_link()
to update the device private fields because the latter overwrites
priv->iface and priv->up, and so the checks below as:
if (info.name[0] && strcmp (priv->iface, info.name) != 0) {
and:
was_up = priv->up;
priv->up = NM_FLAGS_HAS (info.n_ifi_flags, IFF_UP);
...
if (priv->up && !was_up) {
never succeed.

Previously we had nm_ip{4,6}_config_dump() for debugging purposes, but
they were inconveniently printing to stdout and so the output was not
ordered in the journal.
Implement a unified nm_ip_config_dump() that logs through the usual
logging mechanism.
This is dead ugly and works around what probably is a libcurl (7.59) bug:
It shares the resolver cache among easy handles in a multi handle when
it shouldn't:
When we create two easy handles, one for IPv4 and one for IPv6 in a
single mhandle:
curl_easy_setopt (ehandle6, CURLOPT_RESOLVE,
"fedoraproject.org:2605:bc80:3010:600:dead:beef:cafe:feda"
"fedoraproject.org:2604:1580:fe00:0:dead:beef:cafe:fed1")
curl_easy_setopt (ehandle4, CURLOPT_RESOLVE,
"fedoraproject.org:8.43.85.67"
"fedoraproject.org:152.19.134.198")
curl_multi_add_handle (mhandle, ehandle6);
curl_multi_add_handle (mhandle, ehandle4);
Both end up connecting to the same (either v4 or v6) address. None of
CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE(3), CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT(3),
CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE(3) and CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT(3) make
any difference. Nor does CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP[46].
Nothing changes practically, as the NMDevice still starts this with
AF_UNSPEC. That is going to change in the following commit.
The ugly part:
priv->concheck_x[0] in few places. I believe we shouldn't be using union
aliasing here, and instead of indexing the v4/v6 arrays by a boolean it
should be an enum. I'm not fixing it here, but I eventually plan to if
this gets an ACK.
This allows us to use the correct DNS server for the particular interface
independent of what the system resolver is configured to use.
The ugly part:
Unfortunately, it is not all that easy. The libc's libresolv.so API does
not provide means for influencing neither interface nor name servers used
for DNS resolving.
Curl can also be compiled with c-ares resolver backend that does provide
the necessary functionality, but it requires and extra library and the
Linux distributions don't seem to enable it. (Fedora doesn't, which is a
good sign we don't have an option of relying on it.)
systemd-resolved does provide everything we need. If we take care to
keep its congfiguration up to date, we can use it to do the resolving on
a particular interface with that interface's DNS configuration. Great!
There's one more problem: Curl doesn't provide callbacks for resolving
host names. It doesn't, however, allow us to pass in the pre-resolved
hostnames in form of an CURLOPT_RESOLVE(3) option. This means we have to
parse the host name out of the URL ourselves. Fair enough I guess...
Even when the system resolver is configured to something else that
systemd-resolved, it still is a good idea to keep systemd-resolved up to
date. If not anything else, it does a good job at doing per-interface
resolving for connectivity checks.
If for whatever reasons don't want NetworkManager to push the DNS data
it discovers to systemd-resolved, the functionality can be disabled
with:
[main]
systemd-resolved=false
g_string_new_len() allocates the buffer with length
bytes. Maybe it should be obvious (wasn't to me), but
if a init argument is given, that is taken as containing
length bytes.
So,
str = g_string_new_len (init, len);
is more like
str = g_string_new_len (NULL, len);
g_string_append_len (str, init, len);
and not (how I wrongly thought)
str = g_string_new_len (NULL, len);
g_string_append (str, init);

Previously, if "main.rc-manager" was set to "unmanaged"
and "/etc/resolv.conf" was symlink to our internal file
"/var/run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf", NM would not rewrite
the file, in an attempt to honor the requirement of NetworkManager
not changing resolv.conf.
No longer special case this. I think it was wrong and inconsistent.
If the user specifies rc-manager unmanaged, he also should manage
/etc/resolv.conf accordingly. And if the user decided to symlink
it to our internal file, that is fine. It should not stop NM from
updating that file.
Also, this was the only cases, where NM would not write our internal
resolv.conf (errors aside). It was inconsitent, and also not documented
behavior. Instead, it is documented that `man NetworkManager.conf`:
Regardless of this setting, NetworkManager will always write
resolv.conf to its runtime state directory
/var/run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf.
