There was a special case for ensuring that the device's configuration
doesn't disappear when some factory is too late at recognizing the
device is just a component of another one.
It was always a bad idea. If the device already had an active
connection (such as for a generated default wired connection), it would
remain around, with a dangling reference to the device.
This effectively reverts commit 5ad69cb29b ('core: remove child devices
without deconfiguring them (bgo #738479)'). It's okay to do so, because
we now wouldn't deconfigure the device upon its removal anyway.

(cherry picked from commit e1df17e0ac)
In general, all fields of public NMPlatform* structs must be
plain/simple. Meaning: copying the struct must be possible without
caring about cloning/duplicating memory.
In other words, if there are fields which lifetime is limited,
then these fields cannot be inside the public part NMPlatform*.
That is why
- "NMPlatformLink.kind", "NMPlatformQdisc.kind", "NMPlatformTfilter.kind"
are set by platform code to an interned string (g_intern_string())
that has a static lifetime.
- the "ingress_qos_map" field is inside the ref-counted struct NMPObjectLnkVlan
and not NMPlatformLnkVlan. This field requires managing the lifetime
of the array and NMPlatformLnkVlan cannot provide that.
See also for example NMPClass.cmd_obj_copy() which can deep-copy an object.
But this is only suitable for fields in NMPObject*. The purpose of this
rule is that you always can safely copy a NMPlatform* struct without
worrying about the ownership and lifetime of the fields (the field's
lifetime is unlimited).
This rule and managing of resource lifetime is the main reason for the
NMPlatform*/NMPObject* split. NMPlatform* structs simply have no mechanism
for copying/releasing fields, that is why the NMPObject* counterpart exists
(which is ref-counted and has a copy and destructor function).
This is violated in tc_commit() for the "kind" strings. The lifetime
of these strings is tied to the setting instance.
We cannot intern the strings (because these are arbitrary strings
and interned strings are leaked indefinitely). We also cannot g_strdup()
the strings, because NMPlatform* is not supposed to own strings.
So, just add comments that warn about this ugliness.
The more correct solution would be to move the "kind" fields inside
NMPObjectQdisc and NMPObjectTfilter, but that is a lot of extra effort.

While nm_platform_link_get_ifindex() is documented to return 0 if the device
is not found, don't rely on it. Instead, check that a valid(!) ifindex was
returned, and only then set the ifindex. Otherwise leave it at zero. There
is of course no difference in practice, but we generally treat invalid ifindexes
as <= 0, so it's not immediately clear what nm_platform_link_get_ifindex()
returns to signal no device.

There is only one caller, hence it's simpler to see it all in one place.
I prefer this, because then I can read the code top to bottom and
see what's happening, without following helper functions.
Also, this way we can "reuse" the nla_put_failure label and assertion. Previously,
if the assertion was hit we would not rewind the buffer but continue
constructing the message (which is already borked). Not that it matters
too much, because this was on an "failed-assertion" code path.

(cherry picked from commit 3784a2a2ec)
Arguably, the structure is used inside a union with another (larger)
struct, hence no memory is saved.
In fact, it may well be slower performance wise to access a boolean bitfield
than a gboolean (int).
Still, boolean fields in structures should be bool:1 bitfields for
consistency.

Kernel calls the netlink attribute TCA_FQ_CODEL_MEMORY_LIMIT. Likewise,
iproute2 calls this "memory_limit".
Rename because TC parameters are inherrently tied to the kernel
implementation and we should use the familiar name.
(cherry picked from commit 666d58802b)
iproute2 uses the special value ~0u to indicate not to set
TCA_FQ_CODEL_CE_THRESHOLD in RTM_NEWQDISC. When not explicitly
setting the value, kernel treats the threshold as disabled.
However note that 0xFFFFFFFFu is not an invalid threshold (as far as
kernel is concerned). Thus, we should not use that as value to indicate
that the value is unset. Note that iproute2 uses the special value ~0u
only internally thereby making it impossible to set the threshold to
0xFFFFFFFFu). But kernel does not have this limitation.
Maybe the cleanest way would be to add another field to NMPlatformQDisc:
guint32 ce_threshold;
bool ce_threshold_set:1;
that indicates whether the threshold is enable or not.
But note that kernel does:
static void codel_params_init(struct codel_params *params)
{
...
params->ce_threshold = CODEL_DISABLED_THRESHOLD;
static int fq_codel_change(struct Qdisc *sch, struct nlattr *opt,
struct netlink_ext_ack *extack)
{
...
if (tb[TCA_FQ_CODEL_CE_THRESHOLD]) {
u64 val = nla_get_u32(tb[TCA_FQ_CODEL_CE_THRESHOLD]);
q->cparams.ce_threshold = (val * NSEC_PER_USEC) >> CODEL_SHIFT;
}
static int fq_codel_dump(struct Qdisc *sch, struct sk_buff *skb)
{
...
if (q->cparams.ce_threshold != CODEL_DISABLED_THRESHOLD &&
nla_put_u32(skb, TCA_FQ_CODEL_CE_THRESHOLD,
codel_time_to_us(q->cparams.ce_threshold)))
goto nla_put_failure;
This means, kernel internally uses the special value 0x83126E97u to indicate
that the threshold is disabled (WTF). That is because
(((guint64) 0x83126E97u) * NSEC_PER_USEC) >> CODEL_SHIFT == CODEL_DISABLED_THRESHOLD
So in kernel API this value is reserved (and has a special meaning
to indicate that the threshold is disabled). So, instead of adding a
ce_threshold_set flag, use the same value that kernel anyway uses.
(cherry picked from commit 973db2d41b)
The memory-limit is an unsigned integer. It is ugly (if not wrong) to compare unsigned
values with "-1". When comparing with the default value we must also use an u32 type.
Instead add a define NM_PLATFORM_FQ_CODEL_MEMORY_LIMIT_UNSET.
Note that like iproute2 we treat NM_PLATFORM_FQ_CODEL_MEMORY_LIMIT_UNSET
to indicate to not set TCA_FQ_CODEL_MEMORY_LIMIT in RTM_NEWQDISC. This
special value is entirely internal to NetworkManager (or iproute2) and
kernel will then choose a default memory limit (of 32MB). So setting
NM_PLATFORM_FQ_CODEL_MEMORY_LIMIT_UNSET means to leave it to kernel to
choose a value (which then chooses 32MB).
See kernel's net/sched/sch_fq_codel.c:
static int fq_codel_init(struct Qdisc *sch, struct nlattr *opt,
struct netlink_ext_ack *extack)
{
...
q->memory_limit = 32 << 20; /* 32 MBytes */
static int fq_codel_change(struct Qdisc *sch, struct nlattr *opt,
struct netlink_ext_ack *extack)
...
if (tb[TCA_FQ_CODEL_MEMORY_LIMIT])
q->memory_limit = min(1U << 31, nla_get_u32(tb[TCA_FQ_CODEL_MEMORY_LIMIT]));
Note that not having zero as default value is problematic. In fields like
"NMPlatformIP4Route.table_coerced" and "NMPlatformRoutingRule.suppress_prefixlen_inverse"
we avoid this problem by storing a coerced value in the structure so that zero is still
the default. We don't do that here for memory-limit, so the caller must always explicitly
set the value.

When using nm_utils_strbuf_*() API, the buffer gets always moved to the current
end. We must thus remember and return the original start of the buffer.
(cherry picked from commit b658e3da08)
In practice, there is no difference when representing 0 or 1 as signed/unsigned 32
bit integer. But still use the correct type that also kernel uses.
Also, the implicit conversation from uint32 to bool was correct already.
Still, explicitly convert the uint32 value to boolean in _new_from_nl_qdisc().
It's no change in behavior.
(cherry picked from commit a1099a1fab)
"NM_CMP_FIELD (a, b, fq_codel.ecn == TRUE)" is quite a hack as it relies on
the implementation of the macro in a particular way. The problem is, that
NM_CMP_FIELD() uses typeof() which cannot be used with bitfields. So, the
nicer solution is to use NM_CMP_FIELD_UNSAFE() which exists exactly for bitfields
(it's "unsafe", because it evaluates arguments more than once as it avoids
the temporary variable with typeof()).
Same with nm_hash_update_vals() which uses typeof() to avoid evaluating
arguments more than once. But that again does not work with bitfields.
The "proper" way is to use NM_HASH_COMBINE_BOOLS().

If the link is down we shouldn't drop the link-local address from

(cherry picked from commit 18d2edfaa1)
Consider the situation in which ipv4.method=auto and there is an
address configured. Also, the DHCP timeout is long and there is no
DHCP server. If the link is brought down temporarily, the prefix route
for the static address is lost and not restored by NM because we
reapply the IP configuration only when the IP state is DONE.
The same can happen also for IPv6, but in that case also static IPv6
addresses are lost.
We should always reapply the IP configuration when the link goes up.

When we set the MTU on the link we remember its previous source

MTU changes and (2) if the new MTU has higher priority than the one
previously set.
To allow a live reapply of the MTU property we also need to clear the
saved source, or the checks described above will prevent setting the
new value.

The library is called "libnm_core". So the dependency should be called
"libnm_core_dep", like in all other cases.
(cherry picked from commit c27ad37c27)
"libnm-core" implements common functionality for "NetworkManager" and
"libnm".
Note that clients like "nmcli" cannot access the internal API provided
by "libnm-core". So, if nmcli wants to do something that is also done by
"libnm-core", , "libnm", or "NetworkManager", the code would have to be
duplicated.
Instead, such code can be in "libnm-libnm-core-{intern|aux}.la".
Note that:
0) "libnm-libnm-core-intern.la" is used by libnm-core itsself.
On the other hand, "libnm-libnm-core-aux.la" is not used by
libnm-core, but provides utilities on top of it.
1) they both extend "libnm-core" with utlities that are not public
API of libnm itself. Maybe part of the code should one day become
public API of libnm. On the other hand, this is code for which
we may not want to commit to a stable interface or which we
don't want to provide as part of the API.
2) "libnm-libnm-core-intern.la" is statically linked by "libnm-core"
and thus directly available to "libnm" and "NetworkManager".
On the other hand, "libnm-libnm-core-aux.la" may be used by "libnm"
and "NetworkManager".
Both libraries may be statically linked by libnm clients (like
nmcli).
3) it must only use glib, libnm-glib-aux.la, and the public API
of libnm-core.
This is important: it must not use "libnm-core/nm-core-internal.h"
nor "libnm-core/nm-utils-private.h" so the static library is usable
by nmcli which couldn't access these.
Note that "shared/nm-meta-setting.c" is an entirely different case,
because it behaves differently depending on whether linking against
"libnm-core" or the client programs. As such, this file must be compiled
twice.

From the files under "shared/nm-utils" we build an internal library
that provides glib-based helper utilities.
Move the files of that basic library to a new subdirectory
"shared/nm-glib-aux" and rename the helper library "libnm-core-base.la"
to "libnm-glib-aux.la".
Reasons:
- the name "utils" is overused in our code-base. Everything's an
"utils". Give this thing a more distinct name.
- there were additional files under "shared/nm-utils", which are not
part of this internal library "libnm-utils-base.la". All the files
that are part of this library should be together in the same
directory, but files that are not, should not be there.
- the new name should better convey what this library is and what is isn't:
it's a set of utilities and helper functions that extend glib with
funcitonality that we commonly need.
There are still some files left under "shared/nm-utils". They have less
a unifying propose to be in their own directory, so I leave them there
for now. But at least they are separate from "shared/nm-glib-aux",
which has a very clear purpose.
(cherry picked from commit 80db06f768)
We built (among others) two libraries from the sources in "shared/nm-utils":
"libnm-utils-base.la" and "libnm-utils-udev.la".
It's confusing. Instead use directories so there is a direct
correspondence between these internal libraries and the source files.
(cherry picked from commit 2973d68253)
"shared/nm-utils" contains general purpose utility functions that only
depend on glib (and extend glib with some helper functions).
We will also add code that does not use glib, hence it would be good
if the part of "shared/nm-utils" that does not depend on glib, could be
used by these future projects.
Also, we use the term "utils" everywhere. While that covers the purpose
and content well, having everything called "nm-something-utils" is not
great. Instead, call this "nm-std-aux", inspired by "c-util/c-stdaux".

Also, in nm_platform_routing_rule_cmp() always compare the routing
table field, also if l3mdev is set. For kernel, we cannot set table and
l3mdev together, hence such rules don't really exist (or if we try to
configure it, it will be rejected by kernel). But as far as
nm_platform_routing_rule_cmp() is concerned, if the table is set,
always compare it.
(cherry picked from commit b6ff02e76f)
For routes and routing rules, kernel uses a certain (not stictly defined) set
of attributes to decide whether to routes/rules are identical.
That is a problem, as different kernel versions disagree on whether
two routes/rules are the same (EEXIST) or not.
Note that when NetworkManager tries to add a rule with protocol set to
anything but RTPROT_UNSPEC, then kernel will ignore the attribute if it
doesn't have support for it. Meaning: the added rule will have a
different protocol setting then intended.
Note that NMPRulesManager will add a rule if it doesn't find it in the
platform cache so far. That means, when looking into the platform cache
we must ignore or honor the protocol like kernel does.
This does not only affect FRA_PROTOCOL, but all attributes where kernel
and NetworkManager disagrees. But the protocol is the most prominent
one, because the rules tracked by nmp_rules_manager_track_default()
specify the protocol.

Next we will need to detect more kernel features. First refactor the
handling of these to require less code changes and be more efficient.
A plain nm_platform_kernel_support_get() only reqiures to access an
array in the common case.
The other important change is that the function no longer requires a
NMPlatform instance. This allows us to check kernel support from
anywhere. The only thing is that we require kernel support to be
initialized before calling this function. That means, an NMPlatform
instance must have detected support before.
