Add a new "generic.device-handler" property that specifies the name of
a dispatcher script to be invoked to add and delete the interface for
this connection.
(cherry picked from commit e686ab35b3)
Add property to allow changing the eswitch mode between legacy SRIOV and
switchdev. Allow also to set "preserve" to prevent NM from modifying the
eswitch mode.

Currently the internal DHCP client sets traffic class "CS6" in the DS
field of the IP header for outgoing packets.
dhclient sets the field according to the definition of TOS (RFC 1349),
which was was deprecated in 1998 by RFC 2474 in favor of DSCP.
Introduce a new property IPvX.dhcp-dscp (currently valid only for
IPv4) to specify a custom DSCP value for DHCP backends that support it
(currently, only the internal one).
Define the default value to CS0, because:
- section 4.9 of RFC 4594 specifies that DHCP should use the standard
(CS0 = 0) service class;
- section 3.2 says that class CS6 is for "transmitting packets
between network devices (routers) that require control (routing)
information to be exchanged between nodes", listing "OSPF, BGP,
ISIS, RIP" as examples of such traffic. Furthermore, it says that:
User traffic is not allowed to use this service class. By user
traffic, we mean packet flows that originate from user-controlled
end points that are connected to the network.
- we got reports of some Cisco switches dropping DHCP packets because
of the CS6 marking.

The supervision address is read-only. It is constructed by kernel and
only the last byte can be modified by setting the multicast-spec as
documented indeed.
As 1.46 was not released yet, we still can drop the whole API for this
setting property. We are keeping the NMDeviceHsr property as it is a
nice to have for reading it.

With enabled assertions via LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG=WARN or
LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG=ERROR, still print the warning/error message to the
default destination, along the trace/debug messages.
For example, when you set LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG_FILE, then we want that
those messages end up in the file too, not only in g_log() output.
Also, g_warning() prints to stderr. If you set
LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG="WARN,trace,stdout", then we printed the warning to
stderr and the trace messages to stdout.
All debug messages should and up at the same place, and the g_warning()
and g_critical() messages are additional.
Also because glib's g_log() supports its own redirection and suppression
mechanism.
Previously, it was odd. The enum values like NML_DBUS_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG were
actually the bit mask of all the levels "debug", "warn" and "error".
On the other hand, when parsing _nml_dbus_log_level, that variable only contained
the flags that were exactly requested. E.g. when setting LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG=trace,
then _nml_dbus_log_level only contained the trace flag 0x02. That was useful,
because with "LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG=warn,trace" the "warn" flag was not redundant,
it was used to enable printing via g_warning(). That was confusing.
Now, "LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG=warn,trace" is the same as "LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG=trace".
To enable printing via g_warning(), use "LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG=WARN,trace".
With this, we don't need this backward representation of the flags. Invert
it. The level enums are now just single bits.
Document LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG under nm_utils_print().
Also, add an alias "warn" for "warning" flag.
Also, no longer special treat "error" and "warning" flags to indicate
printing via g_criticial()/g_warning(). Previously, you could get
assertions via
$ G_DEBUG=fatal-warnings LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG=error,warning,trace nmcli
or you could enable all messages (including <error>/<warn> level)
without assertions via
$ G_DEBUG=fatal-warnings LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG=trace nmcli
However, it was not possible to enable only <error>/<warn> levels
without those assertions.
Now, "error"/"warn"/"warning" behave just like "debug"/"trace" to enable
message up to the specified level. It only implies printing to stderr
(or stdout or file, depending on "stdout" flag and
LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG_FILE).
Now, to enable redirect to g_warning()/g_error() use the new keywords
"ERROR"/"WARN"/"WARNING".
For testing, we probably want to enable such assertions. So to be
mostly backward compatible, we can run with
$ G_DEBUG=fatal-warnings LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG=error,warning,WARN nmcli
with that, the "error","warning" flags are redundant on newer libnm and
the WARN is ignored on older libnm.
The base image for the "check-tree" test got bumped to Fedora 39. This
brings a new python-black version (23.7.0 vs. 22.8.0) and requires
reformatting.
Maybe we should stick to 22.8.0, via `pip install`. But it seems better
to just follow the latest black version (the one from current Fedora).
So do the reformatting instead.

This patch add support to HSR/PRP interface. Please notice that PRP
driver is represented as HSR too. They are different drivers but on
kernel they are integrated together.
HSR/PRP is a network protocol standard for Ethernet that provides
seamless failover against failure of any network component. It intends
to be transparent to the application. These protocols are useful for
applications that request high availability and short switchover time
e.g electrical substation or high power inverters.

This was forgotten to implement. But we cannot just forget about it.
Libnm emits a warning about unknown properties, exactly to catch such
bugs. Properties that are not implemented, must be marked to be ignored.
Next, support for this property will be added. But that introduces new
API, which cannot be backported. Hence, first fix the problem by marking
the property as ignored. This is a backportable change.

nm_strv_find_first() is useful (and used) to find the first index (if
any). I can thus also used to check for membership.
However, we also have nm_strv_contains(), which seems better for
readability, when we check for membership. Use it.
ethtool "channels" parameters can be used to configure multiple queues
for a NIC, which helps to improve performances. Until now, users had
to use dispatcher scripts to change those parameters. Introduce native
support in NetworkManager by adding the following properties:
- ethtool.channels-rx
- ethtool.channels-tx
- ethtool.channels-other
- ethtool.channels-combined
Some targets related to documentation generation had missing
dependencies, like xsl templates or the python generator. If these files
are changed, their output changes too, but as they were not listed as
dependencies (custom_target's input), meson wasn't aware.
In Makefile.am they already were correctly listed as dependencies.
Gtkdoc comments are used, among other things, to generate the various
nm-setting-* manual pages. When a constant is referenced in a gtkdoc
comment (i.e. `%NM_IP_TUNNEL_MODE_IPIP`) it is expanded to show the C name
and the value (i.e. `NM_IP_TUNNEL_MODE_IPIP (1)`). To generate the
nm-setting-* manual pages, we don't use gtkdoc, but we process this data
with the custom script tools/generate-docs-nm-settings-docs-gir.py.
This script was expanding the constants in the same way than gtkdoc.
Showing the constants in that way in nm-setting-* manual pages makes
little sense, because users are not going to use the C identifiers.
Let's show them with a more appropriate format.
Additionally, the different nm-setting-* pages might require different
formats than the other. For example, for nm-setting-nmcli a format like
`"ipip" (1)` is prefered, but for nm-setting-dbus it's better
`1 (ipip)`. Let's generate different nm-settings-docs-gir-*.xml files for
nmcli, dbus, keyfile and ifcfg-rh, using the right format for each one.
In some cases, properties documentation might require to provide an
explanation of each of the possible values that the property accepts.
If the possible values are the variants of an enum, we can use the
introspection data to get all the possible values for that enum and
their descriptions. With that info, we can automatically generate the
documentation with an always up to date list of accepted values.
Add a new "expand enumvals" feature: it will convert a token with the
format `#EnumName:*` to a list of all the possible values. For the
docbook (description-docbook field in the XML), it is expanded to a
bulleted list of all the values and their respective documentations.
This feature is limited to the "property-infos" comments (those like
---nmcli---, ---dbus---, etc). This comments are used only to generate
the nm-settings-* manual pages. For the documentation under the doc/
folder this is not needed: it's not supported by gtkdoc and, anyway,
it's better to use just `#EnumName` that will generate an HTML link.
Additionally, expansion of `%ENUM_VALUE` is now supported in the
property-infos comments. Instead of expanding them in the same style
than gtkdoc "ENUM_VALUE (num)", it is expanded in a format more suitable
for the nm-setting-* manual pages:
- for nmcli: value_nick (num)
- others: num (value_nick)
Also, fix typo in meson build file propery -> property.
Parse the access point announced bandwidth in MHz. This is considering

This ABI was backported all the way to 1.42.8 and 1.40.20 and to rhel-8.9.
Move the ABI to a separate symbol version, which we have in all those
versions.
Add per port priority support for bond active port re-selection during
failover. A higher number means a higher priority in selection. The
primary port still has the highest priority. This option is only
compatible with active-backup, balance-tlb and balance-alb modes.
The symbol "nm_active_connection_get_controller" was backported to
1.42.1+. Since 1.44 is not yet released, move the symbol from
libnm_1_44 to libnm_1_42_2, like it is on 1.42.2 release. That way, we
don't need to duplicate the symbol while 1.44 being forward compatible
with 1.42.2.
NM 1.44 is not released yet and 1.42.2 will happen before 1.44.0, so we
can introduce the new API with version libnm_1_42_2 in both releases
without having duplicate symbols on 1.44.
This setting allows the user to remove the local route rule that is

With LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG we get debug logging for libnm, either to stdout
or to stderr.
"test-client.py" runs nmcli as a unit test. It thereby catches stdout
and stderr. That means, LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG would break the tests.
Now honor the LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG_FILE environment variable to specify a
file to which the debug logs get written. The pattern "%p" is replaced
by the process id.
As before, nm_utils_print(0, ...) also honors this environment variable
and uses the same logging destination.
We silently tolerate NetworkManager not responding at all (easily
reproduced with e.g. pkill -STOP NetworkManager):

As a comment in _dbus_get_managed_objects_cb() explains, this is sort of
intentional. NetworkManager might just be shutting down and the libnm
users will eventually see the objects once a new daemon starts up.
This may make some sense for long-running clients ("nmcli monitor",
various desktop environments), but not for one-shot invocations that
require the daemon running, such as those of "nmcli c ...".
Let's not consider the client running unless we actually got the manager
object. That way the error message will make more sense:
