When a new link is detected, NM tries to generate a default "Wired
connection" in nm_settings_device_added(), but if the link has not
been initialized by udev yet the function returns early because
priv->unmanaged_flags = UNMANAGED_PLATFORM_INIT.
To be sure that a default connection is created is such situation, we
need to call again nm_settings_device_added() after link
initialization.

Future patches will create devices long before they are backed by
kernel resources, so we need to split NMDevice object creation from
actual setup based on the backing resources.
This patch combines the NMDeviceFactory's new_link() and
create_virtual_device_for_connection() class methods into a single
create_device() method that simply creates an unrealized NMDevice
object; this method is not expected to fail unless the device is
supposed to be ignored. This also means that the NMDevice
'platform-device' property is removed, because a platform link
object may not be available at NMDevice object creation time.
After the device is created, it is then "realized" at some later
time from a platform link (for existing/hardware devices via the
realize() method) or from an NMConnection (for newly created software
devices via the create_and_realize() NMDeviceClass methods).

Move D-Bus export/unexport handling into NMExportedObject and remove
type-specific export/get_path methods (export paths are now specified
at the class level, and NMExportedObject handles the counters for all
exported types automatically).
Since all exportable objects now use the same get_path() method, we
can also add some helper methods to simplify get_property()
implementations for object-path and object-path-array properties.
Add NMExportedObject, make it the base class of all D-Bus-exported
types, and move the nm-properties-changed-signal logic into it. (Also,
make NMSettings use the same properties-changed code as everything
else, which it was not previously doing, presumably for historical
reasons).
(This is mostly just shuffling code around at this point, but
NMExportedObject will be more important in the gdbus port, since
gdbus-codegen doesn't do a very good job of supporting objects that
export multiple interfaces [as each NMDevice subclass does, for
example], so we will need more glue/helper code in NMExportedObject
then.)
Rather than randomly including one or more of <glib.h>,
<glib-object.h>, and <gio/gio.h> everywhere (and forgetting to include
"nm-glib-compat.h" most of the time), rename nm-glib-compat.h to
nm-glib.h, include <gio/gio.h> from there, and then change all .c
files in NM to include "nm-glib.h" rather than including the glib
headers directly.
(Public headers files still have to include the real glib headers,
since nm-glib.h isn't installed...)
Also, remove glib includes from header files that are already
including a base object header file (which must itself already include
the glib headers).
Add a function to get a concise representation of the
device type.
libnm already has nm_device_get_type_description() for that
and it is shown by
nmcli -f GENERAL.TYPE device show
Reimplement that function for nm-core. Just take care that the
two implementations don't diverge.
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.
For existing devices, depending on the order that netlink sends interfaces to
us, the parent may be found after the VLAN interface and not be available when
the VLAN interface is constructed. Instead of failing construction, when a
NMDeviceVlan has no parent keep it unavailable for activation. Then have
the Manager notify existing devices when a new device is found, and let
NMDeviceVlan find the parent later and become available via that mechanism.
This doesn't apply to VLANs created by NM itself, because the kernel requires
a parent ifindex when creating a VLAN device. Thus this fix only applies to
VLANs created outside NetworkManager, or existing when NM starts up.
Even Fedora is no longer shipping the WiMAX SDK, so it's likely we'll
eventually accidentally break some of the code in src/devices/wimax/
(if we haven't already). Discussion on the list showed a consensus for
dropping support for WiMAX.
So, remove the SDK checks from configure.ac, remove the WiMAX device
plugin and associated manager support, and deprecate all the APIs.
For compatibility reasons, it is still possible to create and save
WiMAX connections, to toggle the software WiMAX rfkill state, and to
change the "WIMAX" log level, although none of these have any effect,
since no NMDeviceWimax will ever be created.
nmcli was only compiling in support for most WiMAX operations when NM
as a whole was built with WiMAX support, so that code has been removed
now as well. (It is still possible to use nmcli to create and edit
WiMAX connections, but those connections will never be activatable.)
The connection now might be being activated on another device. Defer the
removal until we're sure the activation request will proceed and only add the
active connection afterwards.

It was confusing to understand the difference between calling nm_device_connection_is_available()
and check_connection_available(), they behaved similar, but not really
the same. Especially nm_device_connection_is_available() would look
first into @available_connetions, and might call check_connection_available()
itself. Whereas @available_connetions was also populated by testing
check_connection_available(). This interrelation makes it hard to
understand when nm_device_connection_is_available() returned true.
Rename nm_device_connection_is_available() to nm_device_check_connection_available()
and remove all direct calls of check_connection_available() in favor of
the wrapper nm_device_check_connection_available().
Now we only call nm_device_check_connection_available() with different
parameters (@flags and @specific_object). We also have the additional
guarantee that specifying more @flags will widen the result and making
a connection "more" available, while specifying a @specific_object will
restrict it.
This also changes behavior in several cases. For example before
nm_device_connection_is_available() for user-requests would always
declare matching connections available on Wi-Fi devices (only)
regardless of the device state. Now the device state gets consistently
considered.
For default-unmanaged devices it also changes behavior in complicated
ways, because before we would put connections into @available_connetions
for every device-state, but nm_device_connection_is_available() had a
special over-ride only for unmanaged-state.
This also fixes a bug, that user can activate an unavailable Wi-Fi
device:
nmcli radio wifi off
nmcli connection up wlan0
The argument name should express what the caller wants
(he wants to know, whether the connection can be activated
for an internal or external activation request).
Whether that involves checking device-specific overrides, is
not the point -- nm_device_check_connection_compatible() is
also a virtual function with device-specific overrides.
Extend nm_match_spec_*() to support an "except:" prefix to negate
the result of a match. "except:" only works when followed by
an exact match type, for example "except:interface-name:vboxnet0",
but not "except:vboxnet0".
A matching "except:" spec always wins, regardless of other positive
matchings.
Externally created software devices would be managed/assumed immediately
upon creation, which includes setting them IFF_UP and possibly turning
on NM-managed IPv6LL.
With this commit, expected behavior for external software devices is:
1) created: unmanaged state, no further action
2) IP address added but !IFF_UP: connection assumed, but device is not set IFF_UP
3) slave attached but !IFF_UP: connection assumed, but master is not set IFF_UP
3) set IFF_UP: connection assumed (if any), if not -> DISCONNECTED
This branch ensures that external software devices are not set IFF_UP
by NetworkManager when they are discovered. It additionally ensures that
they are not set IFF_UP during connection assumption. They may be set
IFF_UP later through specific user action.

We've previously been just watching for state changes into UNMANAGED state. No
state change is emitted upon removal of a device which is already unmanaged.

The previous commit made NM enforce the default route on interfaces for
which NM manages a default route.
For interfaces that are configured never-default, NM will now pick up
any externally configured default route, as if it was managed by NM.
This is important, because NMDefaultRouteManager needs a notion of which
is the best device. Without this change, it was agnostic to default routes
on managed, never-default interfaces.

When quitting, the Manager asks each device to spawn the interface helper,
which persists and manages dynamic address on the interface after NetworkManager
is gone. If the dynamic address cannot be maintaned, the helper quits and
the interface's address may be removed when their lifetime runs out.
To keep the helper as simple as possible, NetworkManager passes most of the
configuration on the command-line, including some properties of the device's
current state, which are necessary for the helper to maintain DHCP leases
or IPv6 SLAAC addresses.
Up to now, NMPolicy would iterate over all devices to find the "best"
device and assign the default route to that device.
A better approach is to add a default route to *all* devices that
are never-default=no. The relative priority is choosen according to
the route metrics.
If two devices receive the same metric, we want to prefer the device
that activates first. That way, the default route sticks to the same
device until a better device activates or the device deactivates.
Hence, the order of activation is imporant in this case (as it is
already now).
Also, if several devices have identical metrics, increment their
metrics so that every metric is unique.
This makes the routing deterministic according to what we choose as best
device.
A special case is assumed devices. In this case we cannot adjust the metric
in face of equal metrics.
Add a new singleton class NMDefaultRouteManager that has a list of all
devices and their default routes. The manager will order the devices by
their priority and configure the routes using platform.
Also update the metric for VPN connections. Later we will track VPN
routes also via NMDefaultRouteManager. For now, fix the VPN metric because
otherwise VPNs would always get metric 1024 (which is usually much larger then the
device metrics).

Before, we would always call unanimously nm_device_get_priority()
to get the default route metric for a device. Add new functions
nm_device_get_ip4_route_priority() and nm_device_get_ip6_route_priority()
and use them at the proper places.
Also add new function nm_vpn_connection_get_ip4_route_metric() and
nm_vpn_connection_get_ip6_route_metric().

Merge libnm's NMDeviceError and the daemon's NMDeviceError into a
single enum (in nm-errors.h). Register the domain with D-Bus, and add
a test that the client side decodes it correctly.
The daemon's NM_DEVICE_ERROR_CONNECTION_INVALID gets absorbed into
libnm's NM_DEVICE_ERROR_INVALID_CONNECTION, and
NM_DEVICE_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_DEVICE_TYPE gets dropped, since it was
only returned from one place, which is now using
NM_DEVICE_ERROR_FAILED, since (a) it ought to be a "can't happen", and
(b) the only caller of that function just logs error->message and then
frees the error without ever looking at the code.
nm_device_get_best_auto_connection() was only used at one place.
It was a very simple function, just iterated over a list finding
the first can_auto_connect() connection. At the very least, the name
was misleading, because it did not return the 'best', but the 'first'
connection.
Get rid of the function altogether.

Instead of creating it in NMSettings, where we must use
NM_IS_DEVICE_ETHERNET() (not NM_DEVICE_TYPE_ETHERNET because various generic
devices masquerade as NM_DEVICE_TYPE_ETHERNET too), push knowledge
of which device types create default wired connections into the device
types themselves. This solves a problem with testcases where
libNetworkManager.a (which testcases link to) requires the symbol
nm_type_device_ethernet().
The IPv4 pre-commit hook was called right before the config was
committed, while the IPv6 one was called before commit in only
one case (from nm_device_activate_ip6_config_commit). The IPv4
behavior is the intended behavior.
Note that this doesn't have any actual effect yet, since nothing
actually implements the IPv6 pre-commit hook
Previously, src/nm-ip4-config.h, libnm/nm-ip4-config.h, and
libnm-glib/nm-ip4-config.h all used "NM_IP4_CONFIG_H" as an include
guard, which meant that nm-test-utils.h could not tell which of them
was being included (and so, eg, if you tried to include
nm-ip4-config.h in a libnm test, it would fail to compile because
nm-test-utils.h was referring to symbols in src/nm-ip4-config.h).
Fix this by changing the include guards in the non-API-stable parts of
the tree:
- libnm-glib/nm-ip4-config.h remains NM_IP4_CONFIG_H
- libnm/nm-ip4-config.h now uses __NM_IP4_CONFIG_H__
- src/nm-ip4-config.h now uses __NETWORKMANAGER_IP4_CONFIG_H__
And likewise for all other headers.
The two non-"nm"-prefixed headers, libnm/NetworkManager.h and
src/NetworkManagerUtils.h are now __NETWORKMANAGER_H__ and
__NETWORKMANAGER_UTILS_H__ respectively, which, while not entirely
consistent with the general scheme, do still mostly make sense in
isolation.
Now that we have nm_utils_hwaddr_matches() for comparing addresses
(even when one is a string and the other binary), there are now places
where it's more convenient to store hardware addresses as strings
rather than binary, since we want them in string form for most
non-comparison purposes. So update for that.
In particular, this also changes nm_device_get_hw_address() to return
a string.
Also, simplify the update_permanent_hw_address() implementations by
assuming that they will only be called once. (Since they will.)
"NetworkManager.h"'s name (and non-standard capitalization) suggest
that it's some sort of high-level super-important header, but it's
really just low-level D-Bus stuff. Rename it to "nm-dbus-interface.h"
and likewise "NetworkManagerVPN.h" to "nm-vpn-dbus-interface.h"
