initscripts support rule-* and rule6-* files for that.
Up until now, we ignored these files for the most part, except if
a user configured such files, the profile could not contain any static
routes (or specify a route-table setting). This also worked together
with the dispatcher script "examples/dispatcher/10-ifcfg-rh-routes.sh".
We cannot now start taking over that file format for rules. It might
break existing setups, because we can never fully understand all rules as
they are understood by iproute2. Also, if a user has a rule/rule6 file and
uses NetworkManager successfully today, then clearly there is a script
in place to make that work. We must not break that when adding rules
support.
Hence, store routing rules as numbered "ROUTING_RULE_#" and
"ROUTING_RULE6_#" keys.
Note that we use different keys for IPv4 and IPv6. The main reason is
that the string format is mostly compatible with iproute2. That means,
you can take the value and pass it to `ip rule add`.
However, `ip rule add` only accepts IPv4 rules. For IPv6 rules, the user
needs to call `ip -6 rule add`. If we would use the same key for IPv4
and IPv6, then it would be hard to write a script to do this.
Also, nm_ip_routing_rule_from_string() does take the address family as
hint in this case. This makes
ROUTING_RULE_1="pref 1"
ROUTING_RULE6_1="pref 1"
automatically determine that address families. Otherwise, such
abbreviated forms would be not valid.
Add NMIPRoutingRule API with a few basic rule properties. More
properties will be added later as we want to support them.
Also, add to/from functions for string/GVariant representations.
These will be needed to persist/load/exchange rules.
The to-string format follows the `ip rule add` syntax, with the aim
to be partially compatible. Full compatibility is not possible though,
for various reasons (see code comment).
I find it questionable, how nmcli likes to coerce the empty input to
NULL to indicate resetting the value. If nmcli would like to set a
default, it should use a different way of signalling that. Anyway, the
assertion was too strict.
$ nmcli connection modify "$PROFILE" +ipv4.addresses ''
At a few places we checked whether neighbor->attrs was non-NULL.
That is not necessary, unless we'd like to catch some dangling/invalid
pointers. The attrs hash is always set otherwise.
Instead of just dropping the check, add a NM_IS_LLDP_NEIGHBOR() macro
(inline function).
It's called NM_MORE_ASSERTS not WITH_MORE_ASSERTS.
Also, NM_MORE_ASSERTS is always enabled. It's wrong to check whether it
is defined.

For one, just reassigning copy->attrs leaks the previous
hash table. Fix that.
Also, NMLldpNeighbor instances are not immutable. I think that
is an uglyness, and it would be preferable that they can be sealed.
A sealed object could safely share/ref the internal hash-table. However,
as it is, we cannot just have two NMLldpNeighbor instances share the
same hash-table. Do a full copy.
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.
Add the const qualifier to the attribute name in LLDP API functions so
that const strings and string literals are accepted. This change is
backwards compatible for existing users of the API.
If we surprise-remove the master, slaves would immediately attempt to bring
things up by autoconnecting. Not cool. Policy, however, blocks
autoconnect if the slaves disconnect due to "dependency-failed", and it
indeed seems to be an appropriate reason here:
$ nmcli c add type bridge
$ nmcli c add type dummy ifname dummy0 master bridge autoconnect yes
$ nmcli c del bridge
$
Before:
(nm-bridge): state change: ip-config -> deactivating (reason 'connection-removed')
(nm-bridge): state change: deactivating -> disconnected (reason 'connection-removed')
(nm-bridge): detached bridge port dummy0
(dummy0): state change: activated -> disconnected (reason 'connection-removed')
(nm-bridge): state change: disconnected -> unmanaged (reason 'user-requested')
(dummy0): state change: disconnected -> unmanaged (reason 'user-requested')
policy: auto-activating connection 'bridge-slave-dummy0'
After:
(nm-bridge): state change: ip-config -> deactivating (reason 'connection-removed')
(nm-bridge): state change: deactivating -> disconnected (reason 'connection-removed')
(nm-bridge): detached bridge port dummy0
(dummy0): state change: activated -> deactivating (reason 'dependency-failed')

(dummy0): state change: deactivating -> disconnected (reason 'dependency-failed')
(dummy0): state change: disconnected -> unmanaged (reason 'user-requested')

Setting one property might affect multiple properties.
For example, setting a team property might also emit property changed
signal for "team.config".
Or, one property might be modified multiple times. For example list
properties may first clear the property, then append multiple elements.
Or a list property might remove multiple elements.
Combine these signals via g_object_freeze_notify() and
g_object_thaw_notify().
