Kernel requires that routes have a host part of zero. For NetworkManager
configuration we allow non-zero host parts (but ignore them). Fix
route_compare() to ignore the host part.
This has only effect during assuming connections. That means, on
restart NM would fail to match a connection with static routes
if it has a non-zero host part. So, the impact is rather small.
(cherry picked from commit 034b7fb51c)
Now we only search for a candiate with matching UUID. No need to
first lookup all activatable connections, just find the candidate
by UUID and see if it is activatable.
If the connection candidate contains a static route
without route-metric, but overrides the default
route-metric, matching would have failed:
ipv4.route-metric: 200
ipv4.routes: { ip = 192.168.5.0/32 }
Then, we must not compare existing routes using the device's
metric, but must use the overwrite from the connection.
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.
Extend the "ethernet.cloned-mac-address" and "wifi.cloned-mac-address"
settings. Instead of specifying an explicit MAC address, the additional
special values "permanent", "preserve", "random", "random-bia", "stable" and
"stable-bia" are supported.
"permanent" means to use the permanent hardware address. Previously that
was the default if no explict cloned-mac-address was set. The default is
thus still "permanent", but it can be overwritten by global
configuration.
"preserve" means not to configure the MAC address when activating the
device. That was actually the default behavior before introducing MAC
address handling with commit 1b49f941a6.
"random" and "random-bia" use a randomized MAC address for each
connection. "stable" and "stable-bia" use a generated, stable
address based on some token. The "bia" suffix says to generate a
burned-in address. The stable method by default uses as token the
connection UUID, but the token can be explicitly choosen via
"stable:<TOKEN>" and "stable-bia:<TOKEN>".
On a D-Bus level, the "cloned-mac-address" is a bytestring and thus
cannot express the new forms. It is replaced by the new
"assigned-mac-address" field. For the GObject property, libnm's API,
nmcli, keyfile, etc. the old name "cloned-mac-address" is still used.
Deprecating the old field seems more complicated then just extending
the use of the existing "cloned-mac-address" field, although the name
doesn't match well with the extended meaning.
There is some overlap with the "wifi.mac-address-randomization" setting.

"NetworkManagerUtils.h" contains a bunch of helper tools for core
daemon ("src/").
Unfortunately, it has dependencies to other parts of core,
such as "nm-device.h" and "nm-platform.h". Split out a part
of tools that are independent so that they can be used without
dragging in other dependencies.
"nm-core-utils.h" should only use libnm-core, "nm-logging.h"
and shared.
"NetworkManagerUtils.h" should provide all "nm-core-utils.h" and
possibly other utilities that have larger dependencies.
- All internal source files (except "examples", which are not internal)
should include "config.h" first. As also all internal source
files should include "nm-default.h", let "config.h" be included
by "nm-default.h" and include "nm-default.h" as first in every
source file.
We already wanted to include "nm-default.h" before other headers
because it might contains some fixes (like "nm-glib.h" compatibility)
that is required first.
- After including "nm-default.h", we optinally allow for including the
corresponding header file for the source file at hand. The idea
is to ensure that each header file is self contained.
- Don't include "config.h" or "nm-default.h" in any header file
(except "nm-sd-adapt.h"). Public headers anyway must not include
these headers, and internal headers are never included after
"nm-default.h", as of the first previous point.
- Include all internal headers with quotes instead of angle brackets.
In practice it doesn't matter, because in our public headers we must
include other headers with angle brackets. As we use our public
headers also to compile our interal source files, effectively the
result must be the same. Still do it for consistency.
- Except for <config.h> itself. Include it with angle brackets as suggested by
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Configuration-Headers
When NM tries to match a generated connection to a persistent one, it
considers also the metric of static routes. However, if the field is
set to -1 (use default value for the device) on the persistent
connection, the comparison will always fail because the generated
connection contains the actual value read from kernel.
To fix the issue, modify check_possible_match() to deal correctly with
-1 and translate it to the expected value for the current device when
performing the comparison.
This allows connections with static routes and default metric to
properly be re-assumed when NM is restarted.

The compiler might be able to optimize the switch better.
But more importantly, it has the type information of the enum
and can give warnings about unmentioned enum values.
Point in case:
# ip link add link dummy0 name dummy0.vlan type vlan id 4095
RTNETLINK answers: Numerical result out of range
This potentially causes existing (invalid) connections to disappear
as they now fail verification.
Instead of adjusting the range of the GObject property
NM_SETTING_VLAN_ID, reject it during vlan. This is a bit more
forgiving to an older client that isn't aware of this new restriction,
so he can first set the value without raising a critical warning.
When a connection should be assumed and the generated connection did not
contain a wired setting, the connection did not match due to S390 properties.
Such a connection should be allowed to match to a connection with a wired
setting with default (empty) S390 properties.
This can happen when there is a VLAN profile configured that contains a wired
setting in it and NetworkManager is (re)started.
Example/reproducer:
$ nmcli con add type vlan con-name vlan-test autoconnect no dev em1 id 44
$ nmcli con mod vlan-test eth.mtu 1450 (modify the connection, so that it has a wired setting)
$ nmcli con up vlan-test (activate the connection)
$ sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
$ nmcli device
check that 'vlan-test' connection is active on em1.44 device
(and not the auto-generated em1.44)

RFC7217 introduces an alternative mechanism for creating addresses during
stateless IPv6 address configuration. It's supposed to create addresses whose
host part stays stable in a particular network but changes when the hosts
enters another network to mitigate possibility of tracking the host movement.
It can be used alongside RFC 4941 privacy extensions (temporary addresses)
and replaces the use of RFC 4862 interface identifiers.
The address creation mode is controlld by ip6.addr_gen_mode property
(ADDR_GEN_MODE in ifcfg-rh), with values of "stable-privacy" and "eui-64",
defaulting to "eui-64" if unspecified.
The host part of an address is computed by hashing a system-specific secret
salted with various stable values that identify the connection with a secure
hash algorithm:
RID = F(Prefix, Net_Iface, Network_ID, DAD_Counter, secret_key)
For NetworkManager we use these parameters:
* F()
SHA256 hash function.
* Prefix
This is a network part of the /64 address
* Net_Iface
We use the interface name (e.g. "eth0"). This ensures the address won't
change with the change of interface hardware.
* Network_ID
We use the connection UUID here. This ensures the salt is different for
wireless networks with a different SSID as suggested by RFC7217.
* DAD_Counter
A per-address counter that increases with each DAD failure.
* secret_key
We store the secret key in /var/lib/NetworkManager/secret_key. If it's
shorter than 128 bits then it's rejected. If the file is not present we
initialize it by fetching 256 pseudo-random bits from /dev/urandom on
first use.
Duplicate address detection uses IDGEN_RETRIES = 3 and does not utilize the
IDGEN_DELAY delay (despite it SHOULD). This is for ease of implementation
and may change in future. Neither parameter is currently configurable.
Having a static string buffer for convenience is useful not only
for platform. Define the string buffer in NetworkManagerUtils.h,
so that all to-string functions can reuse *one* buffer.
Of course, this has the potential danger, that different
to-string method might reuse the same buffer. Hence, low-level
library functions are adviced to use their own buffer, because
an upper level might already use the global buffer for another
string.
Support a new configuration option
[.config]
enable=<ENABLED>
for configuration snippets.
This new [.config] section is only relevant within the snippet itself
and it is not merged into the combined configuration.
Currently only the "enable" key is supported. If the "enable" key is
missing, it obviously defaults to being enabled. It allows snippets
to be skipped from loading. The main configuration "NetworkManager.conf"
cannot be skipped.
<ENABLED> can be a boolean value (false), to skip a configuration
snippet from loading.
It can also be a string to match against the NetworkManager version,
like "enable=nm-version-min:1.1,nm-version-min:1.0.6"
There are several motivations for this:
- the user can disable an entire configuration snippet by toggeling
one entry.
This generalizes the functionality of the global-dns.enable
setting, but in a way that applies to configuration on a per-file
basis.
- for developing, we often switch between different versions of
NetworkManager. Thus, we might want to use different configuration.
E.g. before global-dns options, I want to use "dns=none" and manage
resolv.conf myself. Now, I can use global-dns setting to do that.
That can be achieved with something like the following (not exactly,
it's an example only):
[.config]
enable=nm-version-min:1.1
[main]
dns=default
[global-dns-domain-*]
nameserver=127.0.0.1
Arguably, this would be more awesome, if we would bump our micro devel
version (1.1.0) more often while developing 1.2.0 (*hint*).
- in principle, packages could drop configuration snippets and enable
them based on the NetworkManager version.
- with the "env:" spec, you can enable/disable snippets by configuring
an environment variable. Again, useful for testing and developing.
This is effectively the same as nm_config_parse_boolean(). The difference is,
that "nm-config.c" is not available to the interface-helper, thus any
code used by interface-helper (like "NetworkManager.c") cannot use this
function.
Still don't drop nm_config_parse_boolean() entirely, because it's better
to have the explicit notion of parsing a string in the config-context.
I ended up not using the function. But I'd still keep this patch.
It is not uncommon to see first a "disown" message before "disposing".
That alone does not yet indicate anything wrong or a leak. Remove that
overly alarming part of the logging message.
Port remaining bits to gdbus and remove stray dbus-glib references
Drop the dbus-glib version check from configure, since nothing depends
on new dbus-glib any more.
Move nm-dbus-glib-types.h and nm-gvaluearray-compat.h from include/ to
libnm-util/ since they are now only used by libnm-util and libnm-glib.
The localization headers are now included via "nm-default.h".
Also fixes several places, where we wrongly included <glib/gi18n-lib.h>
instead of <glib/gi18n.h>. For example under "clients/" directory.
Previously, the order of destructing singleton instances
was undefined. Now, have singleton instances register their
destruction via nm_singleton_instance_register().
Objects that are registered later, will be destructed earlier. IOW,
they will be destroyed in reverse order of construction.
This is only a crude method to get the lifetime of singleton instances
right by default. Having singletons ref other singletons to keep them
alive gives more control over the lifetimes of singletons. This change
of having a defined order of destruction does not conflict with taking
references to singletons (and thus extending their lifetime).
Note that previously, NMPlatform was not registered for destruction.
We don't change that yet and intenionally leak a reference.
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.
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).
We have a special implemenation nm_match_spec_split() to split
a string. We also need the reverse operation to be able to convert
a list of specs to string without loss.
