When first trying to write out the connections we need to ensure that the
keyfile directory exists, as the /etc/ tree may be either stateless or
reset initially.
Creating the directory on demand ensures that we have a chance for our
writes to actually work.
[lkundrak@v3.sk: dropped a comment for what seems obvious, minor style
fixes]
- kernel ignores rtm_tos for IPv6 routes. While iproute2 accepts it,
let libnm reject TOS attribute for routes as well.
- move the tos field from NMPlatformIPRoute to NMPlatformIP4Route.
- the tos field is part of the weak-id of an IPv4 route. Meaning,
`ip route add` can add routes that only differ by their TOS.
This drops some redundant rules and orderes the remaining ones by
precedence.
The 'root' rules take precedence over the 'default' rules, so order
the file accordingly.
It is not necessary to repeat send_destination rules, as the default
rules already allows everyone to send to the interface.
Moreover, it is not necessary to restrict the ownership of the name
in the default context, as this is already done by the system-wide
default rule.

Coverity complains about not checking the return value:
src/settings/nm-settings-connection.c:2329: check_return: Calling "g_key_file_load_from_file" without checking return value (as is done elsewhere 6 out of 7 times).
While at it, refactor the code and check whether the timestamp
is valid.
There are a lot of places where we want to either write a number,
or conditionally clear it. Like:
mtu = nm_setting_wireless_get_mtu (s_wireless);
if (mtu)
svSetValueInt64 (ifcfg, "MTU", mtu);
else
svUnsetValue (ifcfg, "MTU");
To support legacy scripts, we want to write out the NETMASK
key whenever the ifcfg file has a NETMASK key previously.
Note, that we anyway always write the relevant PREFIX key.
The NETMASK is redundant, only there to help legacy scripts.
That was broken, because we would svUnsetValue("NETMASK") before
checking whether the NETMASK key is present.
Also, when saving a connection to ifcfg-rh file that was created
by other tools, we might mix up the numbering. E.g. we never
write out IPADDR0. Hence, turn on legacy mode whenever the ifcfg-rh
file has any key starting with "NETMASK".
It's sort of a very very lightweight version of get_secrets_done_cb()
that allows as to add secrets to the connection that didn't come from
the agent manager.
A property preferably only emits a notify-changed signal when
the value actually changes and it caches the value (so that
between property-changed signals the value is guaranteed not to change).
NMSettings and NMManager both already cache the hostname, because
NMHostnameManager didn't guarantee this basic concept.
Implement it and rely on it from NMSettings and NMPolicy.
And remove the copy of the property from NMManager.
Move the call for nm_dispatcher_call_hostname() from NMHostnameManager
to NMManager. Note that NMPolicy also has a call to the dispatcher
when set-transient-hostname returns. This should be cleaned up later.
Hostname management is complicated. At least, how it is implemented currently.
For example, NMPolicy also sets the hostname (NMPolicy calls
nm_settings_set_transient_hostname() to have hostnamed set the hostname,
but then falls back to sethostname() in settings_set_hostname_cb()).
Also, NMManager tracks the hostname in NM_MANAGER_HOSTNAME too, and
NMPolicy listens to changes from there -- instead of changes from
NMSettings.
Eventually, NMHostnameManager should contain the hostname parts from NMSettings
and NMPolicy.
The user data values are encoded in shell variables named
prefix "NM_USER_". The variable name is an encoded form of the
data key, consisting only of upper-case letters, digits, and underscore.
The alternative would be something like
NM_USER_1_KEY=my.keys.1
NM_USER_1_VAL='some value'
NM_USER_2_KEY=my.other.KEY.42
NM_USER_2_VAL='other value'
contary to
NM_USER_MY__KEYS__1='some value'
NM_USER_MY__OTHER___K_E_Y__42='other value'
The advantage of the former, numbered scheme is that it may be easier to
find the key of a user-data entry. With the current implementation, the
shell script would have to decode the key, like the ifcfg-rh plugin
does.
However, user data keys are opaque identifers for values. Usually, you
are not concerned with a certain name of the key, you already know it.
Hence, you don't need to write a shell script to decode the key name,
instead, you can use it directly:
if [ -z ${NM_USER_MY__OTHER___K_E_Y__42+x} ]; then
do_something_with_key "$NM_USER_MY__OTHER___K_E_Y__42"
fi
Otherwise, you'd first have to search write a shell script to search
for the interesting key -- in this example "$NM_USER_2_KEY", before being
able to access the value "$NM_USER_2_VAL".
The PMF property is an GEnum, not GFlags. We only have the GObject
property NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_SECURITY_PMF as plain integer type
to allow for future extensions.
But commonly, enums are signed int, while flags are unsigned. Change
the property to be signed for consistency.
py-kickstart writes this out and there apparently are users using this.
Let them have one less problem.

For example, if you want to test whether a value is present and
reset it to a different value (only if it is present), it would
be reasonable to do
if (svGetValue (s, key, &tmp)) {
svSetValue (s, key, "new-value");
g_free (tmp);
}
Without this patch, you could not be sure that key is not
set to some inparsable value, which svWriteFile() would then
write out as empty string.
Have invalid values returned by svGetValue() as empty string.
That is how svWriteFile() treats them.
We have unit tests for writing and re-reading ifcfg file. Those
tests compare whether a file can be successfully read and is
semantically identical.
However, there were no tests that a certain output is written in
a stable format. We aim not to change the output of what we write.
For that, add tests to not only check the semantic of the written
ifcfg file, but their bits and bytes.
Some future changes may well intentionally change the current
output. That will require to update the expected result files
and can be done via
NMTST_IFCFG_RH_UPDATE_EXPECTED=yes src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/tests/test-ifcfg-rh
Note that alias, route, and key files are not checked.
