When ModemManager become available, NetworkManager resets
GDBusObjectManagerClient object.
But there is a race condition if object-added is emitted before
modm_ensure_manager(), we need to check existing objects if we want to be
in sync with ModemManager.

When the lease expires, the DHCP client emits a LEASE_UPDATE event
with a NULL l3cd. After returning from the handler, it sends
immediately a DHCP DISCOVER message to try to get a new lease.
It is important that when the DISCOVER gets sent the address is no
longer configured on the interface. Otherwise, the server could see
that it is already in use and assign a different one. Therefore,
remove the address synchronously when handling the event.

The OVS interface can be matched via MAC address; in that case, the
"connection.interface-name" property of the connection is empty.
When populating the ovsdb, we need to pass the actual interface name
from the device, not the one from the connection.
Fixes: 830a5a14cb ('device: add support for OpenVSwitch devices')
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-34617
The group interface is only used during activation; there is no need
to add a pending action for it, because when the device is in
activating state it already delays "startup-complete" via other
pending actions.
Problem:
Given a OVS port with `autoconnect-ports` set to default or false,
when reactivation required for checkpoint rollback,
previous activated OVS interface will be in deactivate state after
checkpoint rollback.
The root cause:
The `activate_stage1_device_prepare()` will mark the device as
failed when controller is deactivating or deactivated.
In `activate_stage1_device_prepare()`, the controller device is
retrieved from NMActiveConnection, it will be NULL when NMActiveConnection
is in deactivated state. This will cause device been set to
`NM_DEVICE_STATE_REASON_DEPENDENCY_FAILED` which prevent all follow
up `autoconnect` actions.
Fix:
When noticing controller is deactivating or deactivated with reason
`NM_DEVICE_STATE_REASON_NEW_ACTIVATION`, use new function
`nm_active_connection_set_controller_dev()` to wait on controller
device state between NM_DEVICE_STATE_PREPARE and
NM_DEVICE_STATE_ACTIVATED. After that, use existing
`nm_active_connection_set_controller()` to use new
NMActiveConnection of controller to move on.

Commit 797f3cafee ('device: fall back to saved use_tempaddr value
instead of rereading /proc') changed the behaviour of how to get the
last resort default value for ip6-privacy property.
Previously we read it from /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default, buf after
this commit we started to read /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<iface> instead,
because the user might have set a different value specific for that device.
As NetworkManager changes that value on connection activation, we used
the value read at the time that NetworkManager was started.
Commit 6cb14ae6a6 ('device: introduce ipv6.temp-valid-lifetime and
ipv6.temp-preferred-lifetime properties') introduced 2 new IPv6 privacy
related properties relying on the same mechanism.
However, this new behaviour is problematic because it's not predictable
nor reliable:
- NetworkManager is normally started at boot time. That means that, if a
user wants to set a new value to /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<iface>,
NetworkManager is likely alread running, so the change won't take
effect.
- If NetworkManager is restarted it will read the value again, but this
value can be the one set by NetworkManager itself in the last
activation. This means that different values can be used as default in
the same system boot depending on the restarts of NetworkManager.
Moreover, this weird situation might happen:
- Connection A with ip6-privacy=2 is activated
- NetworkManager is stopped. The value in
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<iface>/use_tempaddr remains as 2.
- NetworkManager starts. It reads from /proc/sys/... and saves the value
'2' as the default.
- Connection B with no ip6-privacy setting is activated. The '2' saved
as default value is used. The connection didn't specify any value for
it, and the value '2' was set by another connection for that specific
connection only, not manually by a user that wanted '2' to be the
default.
A user shouldn't have to think on when NetworkManager starts or restarts
to known in an easy and predictable way what the default value for
certain property is. It's totally counterintuitive.
Revert back to the old behaviour of reading from
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default. Although this value is used by the
kernel only for newly created interfaces, and not for already existing
ones, it is reasonable to think on these settings as "systemwide
defaults" that the user has chosen.
Note that setting a different default in NetworkManager.conf still takes
precedence.
This allows SLAAC for IPv6 to be performed, even when no IPv6
address was passed by the bearer. The link-local address will be
assigned, because of do_auto = TRUE.
The commit also allows the DNS assignment to be made statically when
no IPv6 address has been statically assigned yet. This is to be able
to receive IPv6 DNS servers via signalling, where host SLAAC still
needs to be performed for some modems (e.g. some huawei modems).
This also changes the logging so that SLAAC usage is logged
on a separate line.
Meson has shared_library and shared_module. The latter should be used
only for shared plugins loaded by dlopen, not for shared libraries
linked by the linker.
The target `nm_wwan` was defined as shared_module probably because it
is a library for loadable plugins only, andcontains references to
symbols from the main executable that cannot be resolved at link time.
Do as the deprecation message suggest and convert it to shared_library
with b_lundef=false:
DEPRECATION: target nm-device-plugin-wwan links against shared module nm-wwan, which is incorrect.
This will be an error in the future, so please use shared_library() for nm-wwan instead.
If shared_module() was used for nm-wwan because it has references to undefined symbols,
use shared_library() with `override_options: ['b_lundef=false']` instead.
When IPv6 privacy extensions are enabled, by default temporary addresses
have a valid lifetime of 1 week and a preferred lifetime of 1 day.
That's far too long for privacy-conscious users, some of whom want a new
address once every few seconds. Add connection options that correspond
to /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/temp_valid_lft and
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/temp_prefered_lft to allow configuring the
address rotation time on a per-connection basis.
The new properties are defined as 32-bit signed integers to match the
sysctl parameters which are also signed, although currently only
positive numbers are valid.
A common source for doubts and questions from users is about why
devices are unmanaged. Unfortunately NM doesn't expose that
information properly via D-Bus and so it's not available in nmcli.
The device D-Bus object has two properties that are strictly related:
"state" and "state-reason". The latter represents the reason for the
current state. Introduce new reasons to indicate the possible causes
for the unmanaged state. Note that a device can be unmanaged because
of multiple reasons at the same time, we only return one.

When creating VLAN over OVS internal interface which holding the same
name as its controller OVS bridge, NetworkManager will fail with error:
Error: Connection activation failed: br0.101 failed to create

Bridge)
Expanded the `find_device_by_iface()` with additional argument
`child: NmConnection *` which will validate whether candidate is
suitable to be parent device.

Introduce a new option to NMSettingIpConfig. The new option is ternary
type being the default value set to disabled. When enabled,
NetworkManager will instruct the DHCP client to send RELEASE message
when IP addresses are being removed.
The argument might imply that when set to FALSE, the dhcp client won't
send a RELEASE message. This won't be true with the new
dhcp-send-release option that is going to be introduced.
Instead, change the name to "force_release", when set to TRUE it means
we are sending a RELEASE message even if not indicated by the user. When
set to FALSE, it will be up to the user.
When a generic connection has a custom device-handler, it always
generates a NMDeviceGeneric, even when the link that gets created is
of a type natively supported by NM. On service restart, we need to
keep track that the device is generic or otherwise a different device
type will be instantiated.
(cherry picked from commit f2613be150)
If the device-handler of the generic connection is set, the connection
is virtual and the device is created by invoking the device-handler
via NetworkManager-dispatcher service.
With this change, a generic device now represents two different device
classes:
- existing interfaces that are not natively supported or recognized
by NetworkManager. Those devices have the `has_device_handler`
property set to FALSE;
- interfaces that are created by NM by invoking the device-handler;
they have `has_device_handler` set to TRUE.

When the lease is lost, NM tries to get a new by restarting the DHCP
transaction. However, it doesn't delete the existing l3cds (one from
the DHCP client with flag ONLY_FOR_ACD, the other from
NMDevice). Therefore, the l3cfg still tracks the ACD state of the
address as "external-removed", and when NM gets the same address via
DHCP, ACD is considered as failed; as a consequence, NM sends a
DECLINE message to the server.
Moreover, the l3cd added by NMDevice for DHCP has a zero ACD timeout,
and so it's not possible to do ACD again on the same address.
Remove those l3cds when the lease expires, so that any ACD state is
cleared and DHCP can perform ACD again.

(cherry picked from commit a80fef9f37)
When doing reapply on linux bridge interface, NetworkManager will reset
the VLAN filtering and default PVID which cause PVID been readded to all
bridge ports regardless they are managed by NetworkManager.
This is because Linux kernel will re-add PVID to bridge port upon the
changes of bridge default-pvid value.
To fix the issue, this patch introduce netlink parsing code for
`vlan_filtering` and `default_pvid` of NMPlatformLnkBridge, and use that
to compare desired VLAN filtering settings, skip the reset of VLAN
filter if `default_pvid` and `vlan_filtering` are unchanged.

A IPv4 conflict detected during the probe is a serious problem, as it
prevents the address from being configured. As such, is should be
displayed at warning level.
A conflict detected after the address is already configured
(addr_info->state == NM_L3_ACD_ADDR_STATE_CONFLICT) is less important
because NM will try to defend the address and will keep using it.
A duplicate address is a serious issue which leads to non-working
setups or problems hard to debug. Enable IPv4 duplicate address
detection (aka ACD, RFC 5227) by default to detect such problems.
While the RFC recommends a timeout of 9 seconds, a comment in n-acd
sources says:
A 9s timeout for successful link setups is not acceptable today.
Hence, we will just go forward and ignore the proposed values. On
both wired and wireless local links round-trip latencies of below
3ms are common. We require the caller to set a timeout multiplier,
where 1 corresponds to a total probe time between 0.5 ms and 1.0
ms. On modern networks a multiplier of about 100 should be a
reasonable default. To comply with the RFC select a multiplier of
9000.
Set a default timeout of 200ms, which is the double of the value
suggested in n-acd sources. 200ms sounds quick enough, and gives at
least ~100ms to other hosts to reply.

The supervision address is read-only. It is constructed by kernel and
only the last byte can be modified by setting the multicast-spec as

nice to have for reading it.

"nm-glib" h contains compat wrappers for older glib versions. This file
used to be copied over to VPN plugins, to use the same compat code. It
was thus interesting to also have compat code for glib versions, that
were no longer supported by NetworkManager itself.
This was fine. But glib 2.42 is more than 8 years old. At this point,
there really is no need to support that, even if you copy the file out
of NetworkManager source tree.
Drop those compat wrappers.
This patch add support to HSR/PRP interface. Please notice that PRP
driver is represented as HSR too. They are different drivers but on
kernel they are integrated together.
HSR/PRP is a network protocol standard for Ethernet that provides
seamless failover against failure of any network component. It intends
to be transparent to the application. These protocols are useful for
applications that request high availability and short switchover time
e.g electrical substation or high power inverters.
