warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes]
In C function() and function(void) are two different prototypes (as opposed to
C++).
function() accepts an arbitrary number of arguments
function(void) accepts zero arguments
We already populate the netlink cache in constructed(). No need
to wait with udev devices until nm_platform_query_devices(). Just
do it right away.
Add a hack to keep 'lo' default-unmanaged. Now that we load
udev devices earlier, we end up clearing the default-unmanged
flag on 'lo', which has bad consequences.
We don't want error logging for nm_platform_link_add() which
tries to load the bonding module. Later we will run tests as non-root,
where modprobe will fail. Logging an error would break the tests.
We'd be able to do so for already existing devices, but not for devices that
are added afterwards, since gudev is hardwired not to listen for events from
kernel.
Ethernet, WiFi, and VLAN used the same implementation for initial address.
Ethernet and WiFi used the same implementation (and duplicated code) for
permanent MAC address, plus they both used ethtool in what should be
generic code, which is better done in the platform.
Throwing away the udev_device instance is wrong. There are two cases:
- the udev-device appears, and the netlink object will never appear
(or is already gone). In this case, keeping the udev-device is ok
because we will eventually get a signal from UDev to cleanup the
device instance.
- the udev-device appears before the netlink object. In this case we
want to keep the udev instance to have it ready.

Always intern string from udev_get_driver().
We use the result of udev_get_driver() for setting NMPlatformLink.driver.
In all other cases, we already set that value to an interned string,
which simplifies memory handling.
As it was, the lifetime of that string was tied to the lifetime of the
GUdevDevice.
This is not a stelar solution, but we assume that the overall numbers
of different drivers is limited so we don't leak large amounts of
memory.
link_extract_type() would return the NMLinkType and a
@type_name string. If the type was unknown, this string
was rtnl_link_get_type() (IFLA_INFO_KIND).
Split up this behavior and treat those values independently.
link_extract_type() now only detects the NMLinkType. Most users
don't care about unknown types and can just use nm_link_type_to_string()
to get a string represenation.
Only nm_platform_link_get_type_name() (and NMDeviceGeneric:type_description)
cared about a more descriptive type. For that, modify link_get_type_name()
to return nm_link_type_to_string() if NMLinkType could be detected.
As fallback, return rtnl_link_get_type().
Also, rename the field NMPlatformLink:link_type to "kind". For now this
field is mostly unused. It will be used later when refactoring platform
caching.
Given the name nm_link_type_to_string(), we would not expect
to find it in nm-linux-platform.c. It either should be named
nm_platform_link_type_to_string() and be put in a new
nm-platform-utils.c file, or it should be named
nm_utils_link_type_to_string() and be put in NetworkManagerUtils.h.
For now, just leave it here.
link_extract_type() would call tun_get_properties() to determine whether
the link if a TAP or TUN device. The previous implementation would
receive the ifindex, and resolve the ifname via lookup in the platform
cache.
This means, the call on link_extract_type() will only succeed to detect
the TUN/TAP properties, if the libnl object is already in the cache.
Currently that is always the case and there is no problem.
It is desireable, that we can resolve the link type of an object without
consulting the platform cache first.
See "Revert "wireless: Support of IFLA_INFO_KIND rtnl attribute""
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg132219.html
The reverted kernel patch caused rtnl_link_get_type() to return "wlan"
for WiFi devices. Since NM depends on this function returning
NULL for WiFi devices so that it goes on to check the sysfs DEVTYPE
attribute, the kernel patch caused WiFi devices to show up as Generic
ones instead. That's wrong, and NM should be able to more easily
handle changes in the kernel drivers from NULL to a more descriptive
rtnl_link_get_type() return, since that's the kernel trend.
What NM should be doing here is to fall back to other detection
schemes if the type is NULL or unrecognized. Make that happen and
clean things up to use a table instead of a giant if(strcmp()) block.

The identifying properties of a route are (in libnl)
.o_id_attrs = (ROUTE_ATTR_FAMILY | ROUTE_ATTR_TOS |
ROUTE_ATTR_TABLE | ROUTE_ATTR_DST |
ROUTE_ATTR_PRIO),
NM ignores routes other then in table RT_TABLE_MAIN and considers
only the tuple 'family,network/plen,metric' as identifying for a route.
We must also ignore routes with TOS non-zero as we cannot
handle those, i.e. we cannot distinguish between them.
With NM_MORE_LOGGING disabled, we still want the compiler to evaluate
the argument list. By wrapping it in "if(FALSE)", we get compile time
checks, but the logging statement will be optimized out.
This is a well known issue that we cannot convert some libnl
objects to NMPlatformObject. The to-string function for libnl
objects is only used for debug logging. No need to assert.
Move detection of @support_user_ipv6ll to a separate function
_support_user_ipv6ll_detect() and call it immediately after the
places where we receive libnl objects from kernel, i.e.
get_kernel_object(), event_notification(), and cache_repopulate_all().
Also, whether we have support depends on the kernel and is per-system,
not per-platform-instance. Make @_support_user_ipv6ll a global variable.
This way, we don't need to pass around a NMLinuxPlatform instance.
We have two hooks to modify setup of the platform singleton:
nm_linux_platform_setup() and the virtual setup() function.
On the other hand, nm_platform_setup() limits us by accepting
only a GType, instead of a prepeared platform instance.
Make the nm_platform_setup() method more flexible, so that we can
later drop the setup() hook.
setup() can be used to initialize a NMPlatform instance that is
registered as singleton via nm_platform_setup(). It should not
be used to initialize the object.
Prior to c6529a9d74, this change was
not possible because constructed() will call back into nm_platform_*()
functions, without having the singleton instance setup.
Most nm_platform_*() functions operate on the platform
singleton nm_platform_get(). That made sense because the
NMPlatform instance was mainly to hook fake platform for
testing.
While the implicit argument saved some typing, I think explicit is
better. Especially, because NMPlatform could become a more usable
object then just a hook for testing.
With this change, NMPlatform instances can be used individually, not
only as a singleton instance.
Before this change, the constructor of NMLinuxPlatform could not
call any nm_platform_*() functions because the singleton was not
yet initialized. We could only instantiate an incomplete instance,
register it via nm_platform_setup(), and then complete initialization
via singleton->setup().
With this change, we can create and fully initialize NMPlatform instances
before/without setting them up them as singleton.
Also, currently there is no clear distinction between functions
that operate on the NMPlatform instance, and functions that can
be used stand-alone (e.g. nm_platform_ip4_address_to_string()).
The latter can not be mocked for testing. With this change, the
distinction becomes obvious. That is also useful because it becomes
clearer which functions make use of the platform cache and which not.
Inside nm-linux-platform.c, continue the pattern that the
self instance is named @platform. That makes sense because
its type is NMPlatform, and not NMLinuxPlatform what we
would expect from a paramter named @self.
This is a major diff that causes some pain when rebasing. Try
to rebase to the parent commit of this commit as a first step.
Then rebase on top of this commit using merge-strategy "ours".
