The order of addresses matters. For "ipv4.addresses", the list
contains the primary address first. For "ipv6.addresses", the
order was reverted. This was also documented behavior.
The previous patch just changed behavior with respect to relative order
of static IPv6 addresses and autoconf6/DHCPv6. As we seem in the mood
for changing behavior, here is another one.
Now the addresses are interpreted in an order consistent with IPv4 and
how one might expect: preferred addresses first.
(cherry picked from commit 3d6b6aa317)
The order of addresses can matter for source address selection.
This is described in RFC 6724 section 5, but if the rules don't
determine a clear winner, the order matters.
Change the relative order of IPv6 addresses. Previously, we would prefer
autoconf6, over DHCPv6, over manual addresses. Now that got reverted
to make more sense and be consistent with IPv4.
Also, if we had multiple autoconf6 addresses (received at different
moments in time), then previously a newly received address would be
added with highest priority. Now, the older address will be preferred
and that order will be enforced (this can be a problem, see (*) below).
For IPv4, it's all simple and sensible. When we add addresses in kernel
via netlink, the first address (of a subnet) becomes the primary.
Note that we only control the order of addresses of the same subnet.
The addresses in ipv4.addresses" are sorted with primary address first.
In the same way is the order for addresses in NML3ConfigData and for
@known_addresses in nm_platform_ip_address_sync(), all primary-first.
Also, manual addresses are sorted with higher priority compared to DHCPv4
addresses (at least since NetworkManager 1.36). That means the way how we
merge NML3ConfigData makes sense (nm_l3_config_data_merge()) because we first
merge the static configuration, then the DHCPv4 configuration, where we just
append the lower priority DHCPv4 addresses.
For IPv6, the address priority is messed up. On netlink/kernel, the last added
address becomes the preferred one (we thus need to add them in the order of
lowest priority first). Consequently and historically, the IPv6 addresses in
@known_addresses parameter to nm_platform_ip_address_sync() were
lowest priority first. And so they were tracked in NML3ConfigData
and in the profile ("ipv6.addresses"). That is confusing.
Also, we usually want to merge NML3ConfigData with different priorities
(e.g. static configuration from the profile before autoconf6/DHCPv6),
as we do with IPv4. However, since internally IPv6 addresses are tracked in
reverse order, it means later NML3ConfigData would be appended and get effectively
a higher priority. That means, autoconf6 addresses were preferred over DHCPv6 and
over manual "ipv6.addresses", respectively. That seems undesirable and inconsistent
with IPv4. Change that. This is a change in behavior.
Note that changing the order of addresses means to remove and re-add
them in the right (inverse) order, with lease important first. This
means, when we add a new address with lower priority, we need to remove
all higher priority addresses temporarily, before readding them. That
is a problem(*).
Note that in the profile, "ipv6.addresses" is still tracked in reverse
order. This did not change, but might change later.

ASSUME is causing more troubles than benefits it provides. This patch is
dropping NM_L3_CFG_COMMIT_TYPE_ASSUME and assume_config_once. NM3LCfg
will commit as if the sys-iface-state is MANAGED.
This patch is part of the effort to remove ASSUME from NetworkManager.
After ASSUME is dropped when starting NetworkManager it will take full
control of the interface, re-configuring it. The interface will be
managed from the start instead of assumed and then managed.
This will solve the situations where an interface is half-up and then a
restart happens. When NetworkManager is back it won't add the missing
addresses (which is what assume does) so the interface will fail during
the activation and will require a full activation.

(cherry picked from commit bf5927b978)
Specifically, in nm_utils_ip_route_attribute_to_platform() and in
_l3_config_data_add_obj() handle such new route type. For the moment,
they cannot be stored in a valid NMSettingIPConfig, but later this will
be necessary.
(cherry picked from commit 6255e0dcac)
We made the choice, that NMPlatformIPRoute does not contain the actual
route table, instead it contains a "remapped" number: table_coerced.
That remapping done, so that the default (which we want semantically to
be 254, RT_TABLE_MAIN) is numerical zero so that struct initialization
doesn't you require to explicitly set the default.
Hence, we must always distinguish whether we have the real table number
or the "table_coerced", and you must convert back and forth between the
two.
Now, the parameter of nm_l3_config_data_merge() are real table numbers
(as also indicated by their name not having the term "coerced"). So
usually they are set to actually 254.
When we set the field of NMPlatformIPRoute, we must coerce it. This was
wrong, and we would see wrong table numbers in the log:
l3cfg[17b98e59a477b0f4,ifindex=2]: obj-state: track: [2a32eca99405767e, ip4-route, type unicast table 0 0.0.0.0/0 via ...

(cherry picked from commit e23ebe9183)
The force-commit flag is used to force the commit of an address or a
route from DHCP/RA even when it was removed from platform externally
(for example because it expired). Routes generated from the l3cd
should also have the flag set.
Without this, NM properly re-adds the DHCP address after the lease is
lost and obtained again, but fails to add the prefix-route.

We use clang-format for automatic formatting of our source files.
Since clang-format is actively maintained software, the actual
formatting depends on the used version of clang-format. That is
unfortunate and painful, but really unavoidable unless clang-format
would be strictly bug-compatible.
So the version that we must use is from the current Fedora release, which
is also tested by our gitlab-ci. Previously, we were using Fedora 34 with
clang-tools-extra-12.0.1-1.fc34.x86_64.
As Fedora 35 comes along, we need to update our formatting as Fedora 35
comes with version "13.0.0~rc1-1.fc35".
An alternative would be to freeze on version 12, but that has different
problems (like, it's cumbersome to rebuild clang 12 on Fedora 35 and it
would be cumbersome for our developers which are on Fedora 35 to use a
clang that they cannot easily install).
The (differently painful) solution is to reformat from time to time, as we
switch to a new Fedora (and thus clang) version.
Usually we would expect that such a reformatting brings minor changes.
But this time, the changes are huge. That is mentioned in the release
notes [1] as
Makes PointerAligment: Right working with AlignConsecutiveDeclarations. (Fixes https://llvm.org/PR27353)

Problem: if l3cfg commits an address and routes from DHCP, when the
address expires those objects are removed automatically. NM tracks the
objects as missing as if the user removed them. This is to prevent
l3cfg to committing them again. If the lease if renewed, l3cfg should
be allowed to commit those objects again.
Introduce a l3cd flag to indicate that it should be force-committed
once, and propagate this flag to platform objects. In this way, l3cfg
can avoid committing again objects that are removed externally, but it
can commit them when the l3cd changes.

When the route is not a default route 0.0.0.0/0, NetworkManager should
not add dependent routes.

Completely rework IP configuration in the daemon. Use NML3Cfg as layer 3
manager for the IP configuration of an interface. Use NML3ConfigData as
pieces of configuration that the various components collect and
configure. NMDevice is managing most of the IP configuration at a higher
level, that is, it starts DHCP and other IP methods. Rework the state
handling there.
This is a huge rework of how NetworkManager daemon handles IP
configuration. Some fallout is to be expected.
It appears the patch deletes many lines of code. That is not accurate, because
you also have to count the files `src/core/nm-l3*`, which were unused previously.

- add "pre-commit" signal.
- fix assertion in nm_l3_config_data_get_ip6_privacy().
- set IPv6 privacy in _init_from_connection_ip() from profile.
- fix leaking "os_zombie_lst" in _obj_state_data_free().
- remove wrong assertion about VRF.
- fix _routes_temporary_not_available_update() to honor only the
requested object type. Otherwise, we always prune unrelated objects
too.
We often want to be pedantic about not accepting %NULL for getters (or ref,
unref, etc). Often that is also inconvenient, so we would need to write:
if (l3cd)
strv = nm_l3_config_data_get_nameservers(l3cd, addr_family, &len);
else
len = 0;
(and, make sure that strv does not trigger a maybe-uninitialized warning).
Being pedanic here is more cumbersome than helpful. Accept NULL to return
the sensible default.
Also add nm_l3_config_data_get_dns_priority_or_default() helper which maps
NULL or a missing value to zero. This is also only for convenience for certain
callers.
There is always a question between convenience of allowing %NULL (and
do nothing) and strictly require the user to check the argument to not
be %NULL. In this case, it's more convenient to accept NULL, than require
the callers to check for it.
NML3ConfigData is supposed to be immutable. It can be initialized from a
NMConnection, and its DNS priority property might be zero.
For the DNS priority, the value can be overwritten by global defaults.
We thus need to inject the default value at the right place.
It's a bit tricky how this flag works. It's needed for IPv6
link local addresses, which commits changes in %NM_L3_CFG_COMMIT_TYPE_ASSUME
mode. See the code comments how it works.
This commit only adds the flags and let's the NMPlatformIP{Address,Route}
properly track it. What is still needed is to actually implement any
meaning to that during the sync.
This flag is only relevant for IPv4. That is, because the way we do
ACD/DAD is fundamentally different between IPv4 and IPv6. For IPv4, we
use libn-acd while IPv6 we configure the address in kernel and wait for
the tentative flag to go away.
Each NML3ConfigData should have a source set, and in fact most callers
would call nm_l3_config_data_set_source() right after creating the
instance.
Move the source parameter to the new() constructor function. Also remove
the setter, making the source of an instance immutable.
As every l3cfg instance generally has a clear purpose, the source should
always be known from the start and doesn't need to change.
The "utils" part does not seem useful in the name.
Note that we also have NMStrBuf, which is named nm_str_buf_*().
There is an unfortunate similarity between the two, but it's still
distinct enough (in particular, because one takes an NMStrBuf and
the other not).
Naming is important, because the name of a thing should give you a good
idea what it does. Also, to find a thing, it needs a good name in the
first place. But naming is also hard.
Historically, some strv helper API was named as nm_utils_strv_*(),
and some API had a leading underscore (as it is internal API).
This was all inconsistent. Do some renaming and try to unify things.
We get rid of the leading underscore if this is just a regular
(internal) helper. But not for example from _nm_strv_find_first(),
because that is the implementation of nm_strv_find_first().

Note that no names are swapped and none of the new names existed
previously. That means, all the new names are really new, which
simplifies to find errors due to this larger refactoring. E.g. if
you backport a patch from after this change to an old branch, you'll
get a compiler error and notice that something is missing.
The entire point of NML3ConfigData is to be immutable and merging them.
"Merging" means to combine existing settings, hence NMRefString can be
used to share the same string instance.
We use the merge function to initialize the cloned instance.
Previously, merge did not always copy all properties, so the
cloned instance might not have been identical. Fix that.
gboolean is a typedef for int, so there is no difference in behavior.
However, we use IS_IPv4 as index into arrays of length two. Making
it "int" seems more approriate. Also, this is what all the other
(similar) code does.
"libnm-core/" is rather complicated. It provides a static library that
is linked into libnm.so and NetworkManager. It also contains public
headers (like "nm-setting.h") which are part of public libnm API.
Then we have helper libraries ("libnm-core/nm-libnm-core-*/") which
only rely on public API of libnm-core, but are themself static
libraries that can be used by anybody who uses libnm-core. And
"libnm-core/nm-libnm-core-intern" is used by libnm-core itself.
Move "libnm-core/" to "src/". But also split it in different
directories so that they have a clearer purpose.
The goal is to have a flat directory hierarchy. The "src/libnm-core*/"
directories correspond to the different modules (static libraries and set
of headers that we have). We have different kinds of such modules because
of how we combine various code together. The directory layout now reflects
this.
