The dns-type must be included in the hash because it contributes to
the generated composite configuration. Without this, when the type of
a configuration changes (e.g. from DEFAULT to BEST), the DNS manager
would determine that there was no change and it wouldn't call
update_dns().

Kernel enforces that all nexthops must be reachable through a route.
L3Cfg is generating dependent onlink routes to solve this problem but
the IPv4 ECMP commit is happening before that.
To solve this we introduce two boolean fields "is_new" and "is_ready" to
know in which state is the L3Cfg affected. Initially, "is_new" is TRUE
and "is_ready" is FALSE. Here we schedule a commit on idle and we set
"is_new" to FALSE. When revisiting, we set "is_ready" to TRUE and then
we set the ECMP IPv4 routes.
When a reapply kicks in we reset the L3Cfg state by setting "is_new" to
TRUE.

g_random_*() is based on GRand, which is not a CSPRNG. Instead, rely on
kernel to give us good random numbers, which is what nm_random_*() does.
Note that nm_random_*() calls getrandom() (or reads /dev/urandom), which
most likely is slower than GRand. It doesn't matter for our uses though.
It is cumbersome to review all uses of g_rand_*() whether their usage of
a non-cryptographically secure generator is appropriate. Instead, just
always use an appropriate function, thereby avoiding this question. Even
glib documentation refers to reading "/dev/urandom" as alternative. Which
is what nm_random_*() does. These days, it seems unnecessary to not use
the best random generator available, unless it's not fast enough or you
need a stable/seedable stream of random numbers.
In particular in nmcli, we used g_random_int_range() to generate
passwords. That is not appropriate. Sure, it's *only* for the hotspot,
but still.
Certain ip-tunnel modules automatically create network interfaces (for
example, "ip_gre" module creates "gre0" and others).
Btw, that's not the same as `modprobe bonding max_bonds=1`, where
loading the module merely automatically creates a "bond0" interface. In
case of ip tunnel modules, these generated interfaces seem essential to
how the tunnel works, for example they cannot be deleted. I don't
understand the purpose of those interfaces, but they seem not just
regular tunnel interfaces (unlike, "bond0" which is a regular bond
interface, albeit automatically created).
Btw, if at the time when loading the module, an interface with such name
already exists, it will bump the name (for example, adding a "gre1"
interfaces, and so on). That adds to the ugliness of the whole thing,
but for our unit tests, that is no problem. Our unit tests run in a
separate netns, and we don't create conflicting interfaces. That is, an
interface named "gre0" is always the special tunnel interface and we
can/do rely on that.
Note that when the kernel module gets loaded, it adds those interfaces
to all netns. Thus, even if "test-route-linux" does not do anything with
ip tunnels, such an interface can always appear in a netns, simply by
running "test-link-linux" (or any other tool that creates a tunnel) in
parallel or even in another container.
Theoretically, we could just ensure that we load all the conflicting
ip-tunnel modules (with nmtstp_ensure_module()). There there are two
problems. First, there might be other tunnel modules that interfere but
are not covered by nmtstp_ensure_module(). Second, when kernel creates
those interfaces, it does not send correct RTM_NEWLINK notifications (a
bug), so our platform cache will not be correct, and
nmtstp_assert_platform() will fail.
The only solution is to detect and ignore those interfaces. Also,
ignore all interfaces of link-type "unknown". Those might be from other
modules that we don't know about and that exhibit the same problem.
Ubuntu 18.04 comes with iproute2-4.15.0-2ubuntu1.3. The
"/etc/iproute2/rt_protos" file from that version does not yet support
the "bgp" entry. Also the "babel" entry is only from 2014. Just choose
other entries. The point is that NetworkManager would ignore those, and
that applies to "zebra" and "bird" alike.
This will make sure that the IP tunnel module is loaded. It does so by
creating (and deleting) a tunnel interface.
That is important, because those modules will create additional interfaces
that show up in `ip link` (like "gre0"), and those interfaces can interfere
with the tests.
Also add nmtstp_link_is_iptunnel_special() to detect whether an
interface is one of those special interfaces.
"debug" is implied when setting NMTST_DEBUG, but not specifying
"no-debug". This change has thus no effect, but it seems clearer to be
explicit.
The "debug" flag affects nmtst_is_debug(). Note that tests *must* not
result in different code paths based on debug, they may only
1) print more debug logging
2) do more assertion checks.
Having more assertion checks can result in different outcome of the
test, that is, that the additional assertion fails first. That is
acceptable, because failing earlier is possibly closer to the issue and
helps debugging. Also, when the additional failure is fixed and passes,
we still will fail at the assertion we are trying to debug.
In particular, an access to nmtst_get_rand*()/nmtst_rand*() must not
depend on nmtst_is_debug(), because then different randomized paths
are taken based on whether debugging is enabled.
Seems this test fails easily under gitlab-ci, if we set NMTST_SEED_RAND
to something else than "0". There is nothing particular special about
"0", except that a randomly different code paths are chosen.
A randomized test that doesn't pass on all systems with all random
paths, is broken. Disable for now. Needs to be fixed.

We must trust l3cfg when generating dependent onlink routes for all kind
of routes not default routes only. This was done by
"nm_platform_ip_route_sync()" so there is not change in behaviour at
all.
"nm_platform_ip_route_sync()" could be needed for other situation where
l3cfg cannot add the dependent onlink routes, so we are not removing
that logic.
This reverts commit 6b4123db1c.
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:

Currently, the use of [global-dns] section for setting DNS options is
conditioned on presence of a nameserver in a [global-dns-domain-*] section.
Attempt to use the section for options alone results in an error:
[global-dns]
options=timeout:1
Or via D-Bus API:
# busctl set-property org.freedesktop.NetworkManager \
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager \
GlobalDnsConfiguration 'a{sv}' 2 \
"options" as 1 "timeout:1" \
"domains" a{sv} 0
...

manager: set global DNS failed with error: Global
DNS configuration is missing the default domain
The insistence on existence of [global-dns-domain-*] would make sense if
other [global-dns-domain-...] sections were present.
However, the user might only want to set the options in resolv.conf and
still use connection-provide nameservers for the actual resolving.
Lift the limitation by allowing the [global-dns] to be used alone, while
still insist on [global-dns-domain-*] being there in presence of other
domain-specific options.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2019306
This effectively makes [*global-dns-domain-*] sections in configuration be
ignored unless [*global-dns] is also present. This happens because
nm_config_keyfile_has_global_dns_config() mixes the group names up and
attempts to loop up [.intern.global-dns-domain-*] in user configuration and
[global-dns-domain-*] in the internal one.
Fixes: da0ded4927 ('config: drop global-dns.enable option in favor of .config.enable')
It is possible that an ra leads to two routes having
the same prefix as well as the same prefix length.
One of them, however, refers to the on-link prefix,
and the other one to a route from the route information field.
(Moreover, they might have different route preferences.)
Hence, if both routes differ in the on-link property,
both are added, and the route from the route information
option receives a metric penalty.
Fixed#1163.
Obviously, it would be nice if our unit tests are fast. However, with
valgrind and a busy machine, some of the tests can take a relatively
long time. In particular those, that are marked as "slow" (if you want
to skip them during development, do so via "NMTST_DEBUG=quick"
environment, or "CFLAGS=-DNMTST_TEST_QUICK=TRUE", see
"nm-test-utils.h").
Anyway. Our tests almost never hit the timeout, and if they do, the most
likely reason is that something was just slower then expected, and the
timeout is a bogus error.
Timeouts only act as last fail safe. It more important to avoid a false
(premature) timeout failure, than to minimize the wait time when the
test really hangs. Because a real hang is a bug anyway, that we will
discover and need to fix.
Increase the default test timeout for meson tests to 3 minutes.
Also, "test-route-linux" is known to take a long time. Increase that
timeout even further.
When we register/unregister a commit-type or when we add/remove a
config-data to NML3Cfg, that act only does the registration/addition.
Only on the next commit, are the changes actually done. The purpose
of that is to add/register multiple configurations and commit them later
when ready.
However, it would be wrong to not do the commit a short time after. The
configuration state is dirty with need to be committed, and that should
happen soon.
Worse, when a interface disappears, NMDevice will clear the ifindex and
the NML3Cfg instance, thereby unregistering all config data and commit
type. If we previously commited something, we need to do another follow-up
commit to cleanup that state.
That is for example important with ECMP routes, which are registered in
NMNetns. When NML3Cfg goes down, it always must unregister to properly
cleanup. Failure to do so, causes an assertion failure and crash. This
change fixes that.
Fix that by automatically schedule and idle commit on
register/unregister/add/remove of commit-type/config-data.
It should *always* be permissible to call a AUTO commit from
an idle handler, because various parties cannot use NML3Cfg
independently, and they cannot know when somebody else does a
commit.
Note that NML3Cfg remembers if it presiouvly did a commit
("commit_type_update_sticky"), so even if the last commit-type gets
unregistered, the next commit will still do a sticky update (one more
time).
The only remaining question is what happens during quitting. When
quitting, NetworkManager we may want to leave some interfaces up and
configured. If we were to properly cleanup the NML3Cfg we might need a
mechanism to handle that. However, currently we just leak everything
during quit, so that is not a concern now. It is something that needs
to be addressed in the future.

Routes can be added with `ip route add|change|replace|append|prepend`.
Add a test that randomly tries to add such routes, and checks that
the cache stays consistent.

nmtstp_env1_add_test_func() prepares a certain environment (with dummy
interface) that is used by some tests. Extend it, to allow creating more
than one interface (currently up to two).
The major point of NMDedupMultiIndex is that it can de-duplicate
the objects. It thus makes sense the everybody is using the same
instance. Make the multi-idx instance of NMPlatform configurable.
This is not used outside of unit tests, because the daemon currently
always creates one platform instance and everybody then re-uses the
instance of the platform.
While this is (currently) only used by tests, and that the performance
optimization of de-duplicating is irrelevant for tests, this is still
useful. The test can then check whether two separate NMPlatform objects
shared the same instance and whether it was de-duplicated.
There really is no way around this. As we don't cache all the routes
(e.g. ignored based on rtm_protocol or rtm_type), we cannot know which
route was replaced, when we get a NLM_F_REPLACE message.
We need to request a new dump in that case, which can be expensive, if
there are a lot of routes or if replace happens frequently.
The only possible solutions would be:
1) NetworkManager caches all routes, but it also needs to make sure to
get *everything* right. In particular, to understand every relevant
route attribute (including those added in the future, which is
impossible).
2) kernel provides a reasonable API (rhbz#1337855, rhbz#1337860) that
allows to sufficiently understand what is going on based on the
netlink notifications.
When you issue
ip route replace broadcast 1.2.3.4/32 dev eth0
then this route may well replace a (unicast) route that we have in
the cache.
Previously, we would right away ignore such messages in
_new_from_nl_route(), which means we miss the fact that a route gets
replaced.
Instead, we need to parse the message at least so far, that we can
detect and handle the replace.
