This changes the order to what the code did previously, before switching
from GVariantDict to GVariantBuilder. But it changes the actually
serialized order in the variant.
Also, track sd_lldp_neighbor instance directly.
sd_lldp_neighbor is a perfectly reasonable container for keeping
track of the LLDP neighbor information. Just keep a reference to
it, and don't clone the data. Especially since the LLDP library
keeps a reference to this instance as well.
Also, to compare whether two neighbors are the same, it is sufficient
to only consider the raw data. Everything else depends on these fields
anyway.
This is only possible and useful becuase sd_lldp_neighbor is of course
immutable. It wouldn't make sense otherwise, but it also would be bad
design to mutate the sd_lldp_neighbor instances.
This couples our code slightly more to the systemd code, which we usually
try to avoid. But when we move away in the future from systemd LLDP library,
we anyway need to rework this heavily (and then too, we wouldn't want
to clone the data, when we could just share the reference).
Currently the LLDP parsing code uses GVariantBuild, which possibly does not
ensure a stable order of elements. Thus the test may not be stable.
However, that will be fixed very soon.
g_clear_pointer() would always cast the destroy notify function
pointer to GDestroyNotify. That means, it lost some type safety, like
GPtrArray *ptr_arr = ...
g_clear_pointer (&ptr_arr, g_array_unref);
Since glib 2.58 ([1]), g_clear_pointer() is also more type safe. But
this is not used by NetworkManager, because we don't set
GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED to 2.58.

We have nm_clear_pointer() to avoid this issue for a long time (pre
1.12.0). Possibly we should redefine in our source tree g_clear_pointer()
as nm_clear_pointer(). However, I don't like to patch glib functions
with our own variant. Arguably, we do patch g_clear_error() in
such a manner. But there the point is to make the function inlinable.
Also, nm_clear_pointer() returns a boolean that indicates whether
anything was cleared. That is sometimes useful. I think we should
just consistently use nm_clear_pointer() instead, which does always
the preferable thing.
Replace:
sed 's/\<g_clear_pointer *(\([^;]*\), *\([a-z_A-Z0-9]\+\) *)/nm_clear_pointer (\1, \2)/g' $(git grep -l g_clear_pointer) -i
and _nm_utils_inet6_ntop() instead of nm_utils_inet6_ntop().
nm_utils_inet4_ntop()/nm_utils_inet6_ntop() are public API of libnm.
For one, that means they are only available in code that links with
libnm/libnm-core. But such basic helpers should be available everywhere.
Also, they accept NULL as destination buffers. We keep that behavior
for potential libnm users, but internally we never want to use the
static buffers. This patch needs to take care that there are no callers
of _nm_utils_inet[46]_ntop() that pass NULL buffers.
Also, _nm_utils_inet[46]_ntop() are inline functions and the compiler
can get rid of them.
We should consistently use the same variant of the helper. The only
downside is that the "good" name is already taken. The leading
underscore is rather ugly and inconsistent.
Also, with our internal variants we can use "static array indices in
function parameter declarations" next. Thereby the compiler helps
to ensure that the provided buffers are of the right size.
The targets that involve the use of the `NetworkManager` library,
built in the `src` build file have been improved by applying a set
of changes:
- Indentation has been fixed.
- Set of objects used in targets have been grouped together.
- Aritificial dependencies used to group dependencies and custom
compiler flags have been removed and their use replaced with
proper dependencies and compiler flags to avoid any confussion.
We no longer add these. If you use Emacs, configure it yourself.
Also, due to our "smart-tab" usage the editor anyway does a subpar
job handling our tabs. However, on the upside every user can choose
whatever tab-width he/she prefers. If "smart-tabs" are used properly
(like we do), every tab-width will work.
No manual changes, just ran commands:
F=($(git grep -l -e '-\*-'))
sed '1 { /\/\* *-\*- *[mM]ode.*\*\/$/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
sed '1,4 { /^\(#\|--\|dnl\) *-\*- [mM]ode/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
Check remaining lines with:
git grep -e '-\*-'
The ultimate purpose of this is to cleanup our files and eventually use
SPDX license identifiers. For that, first get rid of the boilerplate lines.
While at it, rename the "addr" field to "l_address". The term "addr" is
used over and over. Instead we should use distinct names that make it
easier to navigate the code.
First of all, all file names in our source-tree should be unique. We should
not have stuff like "libnm-core/tests/test-general.c" and "src/tests/test-general.c".
The problem here are the C source files, and consequently also the test
binaries have duplicate names. We should avoid that in general. However,
our binaries should have a matching name with the C source. If
"test-general.c" is not good enough, that needs renaming. Not building
"platform-test-general" out of it.
On the other hand, all our tests should have a filename "*/tests/test-*", like
they do for autotools.
Rename the meson platform tests.
It's also important because "tools/run-nm-test.sh" relies on the test
name to workaround valgrind warnings.
... and nm_acd_manager_announce_addresses().
The test will need more information to know why it may fail.
Return a NetworkManager error code, instead of a boolean.
Add support for IEEE 802.3 organizationally specific TLVs:
- MAC/PHY configuration/status (IEEE 802.1AB-2009 clause F.2)
- power via medium dependent interface (clause F.3)
- maximum frame size (clause F.4)
Previously we exported the contents of VLAN Name TLV in the 'vid'
(uint32) and 'vlan-name' (string) attributes. This is not entirely
correct as the TLV can appear multiple times.
We need a way to export all the VLAN IDs and names for the
neighbor. Add a new 'vlans' attribute which obsoletes the other two
and is an array of dictionaries, where each dictionary contains the
'vid' and 'name' keys.
Support the management address TLV (IEEE 802.1AB-2009 clause
8.5.9). The TLV can appear multiple times and so it is exported on
D-Bus as an array of dictionaries.
The defaults for test timeouts in meson is 30 seconds. That is not long
enough when running
$ NMTST_USE_VALGRIND=1 ninja -C build test
Note that meson supports --timeout-multiplier, and automatically
increases the timeout when running under valgrind. However, meson
does not understand that we are running tests under valgrind via
NMTST_USE_VALGRIND=1 environment variable.
Timeouts are really not expected to be reached and are a mean of last
resort. Hence, increasing the timeout to a large value is likely to
have no effect or to fix test failures where the timeout was too rigid.
It's unlikely that the test indeed hangs and the increase of timeout
causes a unnecessary increase of waittime before aborting.
While nm_utils_inet*_ntop() accepts a %NULL buffer to fallback
to a static buffer, don't do that.
I find the possibility of using a static buffer here error prone
and something that should be avoided. There is of course the downside,
that in some cases it requires an additional line of code to allocate
the buffer on the stack as auto-variable.
Under valgrind, we cannot create an NAcd instance.

This limitation already poses a problem, because running NetworkManager
under valgrind might fail. However, for tests it doesn't matter and we
can just skip them.
NMAcdManager is a rather simple instance.
It does not need (thread-safe) ref-counting, in fact, having
it ref-counted makes it slighly ugly that we connect a signal,
but never bother to disconnect it (while the ref-counted instance
could outlife the signal subscriber).
We also don't need GObject signals. They have more overhead
and are less type-safe than a regular function pointers. Signals
would make sense, if there could be multiple independent listeners,
but that just doesn't make sense.
Implementing it as a plain struct is less lines of code, and less
runtime over head.
Also drop the possiblitiy to reset the NMAcdManager instance.
It wasn't needed and I think it was buggy because it wouldn't
reset the n-acd instance.
https://github.com/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/pull/213
Don't return an error from nm_arping_manager_start_probe() since it is
currently useless and the arping-manager already prints the failure
reason. Also, drop a log print from add_address().
NMArpingManager previously spawned an arping process for each
probed/announced address and watched it. This has the disadvantage of
being inefficient and also that for small timeouts we can't be sure
that arping actually started the probe.
Switch to an implementation that doesn't need to spawn external
processes, by using the n-acd code [1] currently imported in our
source tree. The long term plan is that n-acd will become a shared
library we can link against.
The file is still called nm-arping-manager for lazyness, even if a
better name would be nm-acd-manager.

There are multiple tests with the same in different directories; add a
unique prefix to test names so that it is clear from the output which
one is running.
For completeness, extend the API to support non-persistant
device. That requires that nm_platform_link_tun_add()
returns the file descriptor.
While NetworkManager doesn't create such devices itself,
it recognizes the IFLA_TUN_PERSIST / IFF_PERSIST flag.
Since ip-tuntap (obviously) cannot create such devices,
we cannot add a test for how non-persistent devices look
in the platform cache. Well, we could instead add them
with ioctl directly, but instead, just extend the platform
API to allow for that.
Also, use the function from test-lldp.c to (optionally) use
nm_platform_link_tun_add() to create the tap device.
Kernel recently got support for exposing TUN/TAP information on netlink
[1], [2], [3]. Add support for it to the platform cache.
The advantage of using netlink is that querying sysctl bypasses the
order of events of the netlink socket. It is out of sync and racy. For
example, platform cache might still think that a tun device exists, but
a subsequent lookup at sysfs might fail because the device was deleted
in the meantime. Another point is, that we don't get change
notifications via sysctl and that it requires various extra syscalls
to read the device information. If the tun information is present on
netlink, put it into the cache. This bypasses checking sysctl while
we keep looking at sysctl for backward compatibility until we require
support from kernel.
Notes:
- we had two link types NM_LINK_TYPE_TAP and NM_LINK_TYPE_TUN. This
deviates from the model of how kernel treats TUN/TAP devices, which
makes it more complicated. The link type of a NMPlatformLink instance
should match what kernel thinks about the device. Point in case,
when parsing RTM_NETLINK messages, we very early need to determine
the link type (_linktype_get_type()). However, to determine the
type of a TUN/TAP at that point, we need to look into nested
netlink attributes which in turn depend on the type (IFLA_INFO_KIND
and IFLA_INFO_DATA), or even worse, we would need to look into
sysctl for older kernel vesions. Now, the TUN/TAP type is a property
of the link type NM_LINK_TYPE_TUN, instead of determining two
different link types.
- various parts of the API (both kernel's sysctl vs. netlink) and
NMDeviceTun vs. NMSettingTun disagree whether the PI is positive
(NM_SETTING_TUN_PI, IFLA_TUN_PI, NMPlatformLnkTun.pi) or inverted
(NM_DEVICE_TUN_NO_PI, IFF_NO_PI). There is no consistent way,
but prefer the positive form for internal API at NMPlatformLnkTun.pi.
- previously NMDeviceTun.mode could not change after initializing
the object. Allow for that to happen, because forcing some properties
that are reported by kernel to not change is wrong, in case they
might change. Of course, in practice kernel doesn't allow the device
to ever change its type, but the type property of the NMDeviceTun
should not make that assumption, because, if it actually changes, what
would it mean?
- note that as of now, new netlink API is not yet merged to mainline Linus
tree. Shortcut _parse_lnk_tun() to not accidentally use unstable API
for now.

The test tries to do IPv4 DAD. That necessarily involves waiting
for a timeout. Since the NMArpingManager spawns arping processes,
the precise timings depend on the load of the machine and may be
large in some cases.
Usually, our test would run fast to successful completion.
However, sometimes, it can take several hundered milliseconds.
Instead of increasing the timeout to a large value (which would
needlessly extend the run time of our tests in the common cases),
try first with a reasonably short timeout. A timeout which commonly
results in success. If the test with the short timeout fails, just
try again with an excessively large timeout.
This saves about 400 msec for the common case, but extends the
races that we saw where not even 250 msec of wait time were
sufficient.
Some targets are missing dependencies on some generated sources in
the meson port. These makes the build to fail due to missing source
files on a highly parallelized build.
These dependencies have been resolved by taking advantage of meson's
internal dependencies which can be used to pass source files,
include directories, libraries and compiler flags.
One of such internal dependencies called `core_dep` was already in
use. However, in order to avoid any confusion with another new
internal dependency called `nm_core_dep`, which is used to include
directories and source files from the `libnm-core` directory, the
`core_dep` dependency has been renamed to `nm_dep`.
These changes have allowed minimizing the build details which are
inherited by using those dependencies. The parallelized build has
also been improved.
The commit was accidentally reverted during systemd code merge from
upstream.

Systemd instroduces a macro _fallthrough_, see
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/7389.
However, it does not yet seem conclusive how to
handle this properly in ever situation.
While shared/nm-utils/siphash24.c makes use of
the new macro, don't do that in our fork. siphash24.h
does not include all systemd headers, hence _fallthrough_
is not defined. We could re-implement it as _nm_fallthrough,
but given the open questions, that doesn't seem the
Keep the include paths clean and separate. We use directories to group source
files together. That makes sense (I guess), but then we should use this
grouping also when including files. Thus require to #include files with their
path relative to "src/".
Also, we build various artifacts from the "src/" tree. Instead of having
individual CFLAGS for each artifact in Makefile.am, the CFLAGS should be
unified. Previously, the CFLAGS for each artifact differ and are inconsistent
in which paths they add to the search path. Fix the inconsistency by just
don't add the paths at all.
