If the router advertises both ULA and GUA prefixes, the CLAT should
select the one that better matches the NAT64 prefix when generating
the additional IPv6 address, as recommended by Internet Draft
draft-ietf-v6ops-claton.
The current implementation just takes the first one, which can cause
problems. For example, if the network is using a public NAT64 server,
the NAT64 prefix is in the GUA range. Choosing a ULA as source address
would not work.

Remove the redundant OK button from the main menu, as menu items are activated with Enter.
This simplifies the UI and avoids unnecessary actions.
Closes#1816
We are going to print the same warning message in different places
(the daemon, nmcli, nmtui). Add a function to return the message. Note
that the message needs to be translated in clients but not in the
daemon logs.
nm_connection_get_unreachable_gateways() is a non-public function,
available in the daemon and clients, which detects gateways in the
static configuration that are not directly reachable.
Unreachable gateways are often the consequence of user mistakes; we
want to catch them early. In the following commits, warnings will be
emitted when a connection is created/modified/activated and has
unreachable gateways.
The --print-config option should only read and print the configuration
without initializing any D-Bus infrastructure. However, g_type_ensure()
calls for D-Bus types were happening before the --print-config check,
causing GLib/GIO to set up D-Bus infrastructure and create cache
directories (~/.cache/bus or /root/.cache) unnecessarily.
Move the g_type_ensure() calls to after the --print-config (and
--version) early exits, so they only run when NetworkManager actually
needs to start normally and use D-Bus.

We need to wait for it to finish so we can show error messages, if any.
Also, if we don't do it, sometimes the `d set eth0 managed ...`
operation fails with the following message in the daemon's log: "Unable
to determine UID of the request". This is because the client's process
is terminated before the daemon can check the permissions, as it needs
to check the uid and gid from the client's process.
Allow to manage or unmanage a device persisting across reboots.
If --permanent is not specified, only the runtime managed state is
changed, preserving the previous behavior. The --permanent-only
option allows to edit only the persistent value, without touching
the runtime value.
Also add the values up/down. Up means managed=yes and set device's
administrative state UP. Down means managed=no and admin state DOWN.
Add the value 'reset' too. It reverts managed runtime status to default
behaviour. When used with `--permanent` flag, the persisted managed
settings is cleared.

Devices like veth without a permanent MAC address cannot be matched by
MAC. If using the BY_MAC flag in SetManaged(), the changes are not
effective for such kind of devices.
Add a BY_NAME flag, in addition to the BY_MAC one. If the client sets
one of them, it means to force this mode of matching. If none is
selected, the daemon will choose how to match, preferring matching by
MAC when possible, and by ifname when not possible.
Control it with a new NM_DEVICE_MANAGED_SET_ADMIN_STATE flag.
This flag will make that, at the same time that the device is moved to
managed/unmanaged, it's admin state is set to up/down. Many users want
to have a way to have their devices in a DOWN admin state when they are
not using them. Because of the complex activation process, NM wants to
have its devices in UP state all the time. However, it is not a problem
to have it DOWN if we are not managing it.
Previous commits added the capability to persist to disk the value of
'managed' received via the D-Bus API. Users might need to clear the
previous content, thus reseting it to its default.
Although this is specially useful for the PERMANENT flag, we need to be
consistent and reset the runtime state too.
If the NM_DEVICE_MANAGED_FLAGS_PERMANENT flag is used, the value will be
stored to disk, to the NetworkManager-intern.conf file, in a [device-*]
section.
To modify the runtime value, the NM_DEVICE_MANAGED_FLAGS_RUNTIME must be
passed. This allows to control independently whether to modify only one
or both.
To support setting devices as managed or unmanaged via D-Bus API in a
permanent way, we need a way to store this configuration on disk. Before
this commit, only config files manually edited allowed it. Following
commits will make use of the new functions to store [device-*] sections
into NetworkManager-intern.conf depending on D-Bus method invocations.
The 'Managed' property only sets the managed state in runtime, but it is
not possible to persist it to disk. Add a SetManaged method that will be
able to persist it to disk. In this commit, it just modify the runtime
state, so it actually only does the same than setting the property.
Storing to disk will be added in next commits.
With `nmcli -f SLAVE` the PORT column will be shown. In this case we
don't duplicate the field because it's typically shown in columns and
having duplicated columns is more annoying than a duplicated row.
They show the same than the old BRIDGE/TEAM.SLAVES and GENERAL.MASTER-PATH.
We missed this when we did the changes in favour of conscious language.
Instead of replacing them, we add a new field that will show the same
value with the new name. This way we avoid breaking users doing
`nmcli -f BRIDGE.SLAVES` or `nmcli ... | grep SLAVES`.
RFC 3442 says:
If the DHCP server returns both a Classless Static Routes option and
a Router option, the DHCP client MUST ignore the Router option.
Currently the internal client is ignoring the Router option only if
the Classless Static Routes option doesn't include a default route,
which is different from what is recommended in the RFC. Fix the behavior.

In kernel, the onlink flag (RTNH_F_ONLINK) is associated with each
nexthop (rtnh_flags) rather than the route as a whole. NM previously
stored it only per-route in NMPlatformIPRoute.r_rtm_flags, which meant
that two nexthops only differing with the onlink flag were combined
as one entry in the platform cache.
Fix this by tracking the onlink flag per-nexthop.
Resolves: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/NMT-1486
dns-search parameters set on VPN connections should be merged with
domains received through the VPN (which may be empty if the connection
sets ignore-auto-dns).
This is currently not the case because domains received by the VPN
connection are only added through nm_l3_config_data_add_domain.
If dns-search is unset, this behaves correctly because the structure
built in _mgr_configs_data_construct in src/core/dns/nm-dns-manager.c
correctly uses the domains from nm_l3_config_data_get_domains.
However if dns-search is set, nm_l3_config_data_get_searches is no
longer empty and it takes precedence because of the "n_searches > 0"
condition.
The previous check was based only on the presence of a non-NULL
"existing_secrets" GVariant. That GVariant is created via:
nm_connection_to_dbus(nm_settings_connection_get_connection(self),
NM_CONNECTION_SERIALIZE_WITH_SECRETS_SYSTEM_OWNED)
The function returns a GVariant containing a first-level dictionary
for each setting, even for those that doesn't contain any secrets. As
a result, the check was requiring the system.modify permission even if
there weren't any cached secrets to send to the agent.
Fix the check to actually check for the presence of any secrets in the
cached dictionary. Some connection types have a third-level
dictionary that can be empty, for example VPNs have vpn.secrets.
The "modify.system" polkit permission allows a user to modify settings
for connection profiles that belong to all users.
For this reason, when an agent returns system secrets (i.e. secrets
that are going to be stored to disk), NetworkManager checks that the
agent has the modify.system permission.
If a secret has the AGENT_OWNED flag, it's stored in the agent
itself. If the secret has the NOT_SAVED flag, it will be asked to
users at the beginning of every connection attempt.
In both those cases the profile is not modified and there is no need
for the modify.system permission. Fix the check to also consider the
NOT_SAVED flag.
Properties that define a .to_dbus_function() as a D-Bus override, need
to return early if the flags only ask to serialize secrets.
Fixes: 7fb23b0a62 ('libnm: add NMIPRoutingRule API')
Added support for the following properties in connection profile:
id (VNI), remote IPv4/IPv6, ttl, tos, df, destination port.
See IP-LINK(8) manual page with command `man 8 ip-link` for more details
on the properties. See also previous commit for nm supported attributes.
id and remote are mandatory attributes:
```
$ nmcli connection add type geneve save no
Error: 'id' argument is required.
$ nmcli connection add type geneve id 42 save no
Error: 'remote' argument is required.
```
GENEVE (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation) is a network
tunneling protocol that provides a flexible encapsulation format for
overlay networks. It uses UDP as the transport protocol and supports
variable-length metadata in the tunnel header.
This patch adds GENEVE tunnel to NM's platform layer:
- Add platform API functions (nm_platform_link_geneve_add,
nm_platform_link_get_lnk_geneve)
- Netlink message parsing for the following attributes:
* IFLA_GENEVE_ID - VNI (Virtual Network Identifier)
IPv4 and IPv6 remote
* IFLA_GENEVE_REMOTE
* IFLA_GENEVE_REMOTE6
TTL, TOS, and DF flags
* IFLA_GENEVE_TTL
* IFLA_GENEVE_TOS
* IFLA_GENEVE_DF
UDP destination port
* IFLA_GENEVE_PORT
- Add test cases for GENEVE tunnel creation and detection with two test
modes covering IPv4 and IPv6.
The implementation tries to follow the same patterns as other tunnel
types (GRE, VXLAN, etc.) and integrates with the existing platform
abstraction layer.
Print some statistics about the translation when the connection goes
down:
clat: stats: egress (v4 to v6): tcp 1275, udp 191, icmp 9, other 0, dropped 2; ingress (v6 to v4): tcp 1669, udp 272, icmp 0, other 0, fragment 136, dropped 0
Those counters can be used to better understand what's going wrong in
case of problems; for example, if the packets are being dropped in the
ingress path or in the egress one.
When running the CLAT over an interface that doesn't use the Ethernet
header, like an IP tunnel, there are some changes needed. The BPF
program must compute offsets differently. Also, the DAD packet should
not include an Ethernet header.
libndp >= 1.9 is only required to parse the PREF64 option needed for
CLAT. When building NM in an enviroment with an older libndp, still
allow building without CLAT support.
It is useful to show that the CLAT is enabled and which addresses and
prefix it is using. Add this information to the overview and to the
device/connection output. Example:
$ nmcli
veth0: connected to clat
"veth0"

IP6.CLAT-ADDRESS: 2002:aaaa::2c0d:1e71:ef87:fac7
IP6.CLAT-PREF64: 64:ff9b::/96
Note how the IPv4 CLAT address is displayed both in IP4.ADDRESS and
IP4.CLAT-ADDRESS. That's because it is also configured in kernel. The
IPv6 CLAT address is not displayed in IP6.ADDRESS because it's not
configured in kernel.
