Introduction of a new setting ipv4.link-local, which enables
link-local IP addresses concurrently with other IP address assignment
implementations such as dhcp or manually.
No way is implemented to obtain a link-local address as a fallback when
dhcp does not respond (as dhcpd does, for example). This could be be
added later.
To maintain backward compatibility with ipv4.method ipv4.link-local has
lower priority than ipv4.method. This results in:
* method=link-local overrules link-local=disabled
* method=disabled overrules link-local=enabled
Furthermore, link-local=auto means that method defines whether
link-local is enabled or disabled:
* method=link-local --> link-local=enabled
* else --> link-local=disabled
The upside is, that this implementation requires no normalization.
Normalization is confusing to implement, because to get it really
right, we probably should support normalizing link-local based on
method, but also vice versa. And since the method affects how other
properties validate/normalize, it's hard to normalize that one, so that
the result makes sense. Normalization is also often not great to the
user, because it basically means to modify the profile based on other
settings.
The downside is that the auto flag becomes API and exists because
we need backward compatibility with ipv4.method.
We would never add this flag, if we would redesign "ipv4.method"
(by replacing by per-method-specific settings).
Defining a default setting for ipv4.link-local in the global
configuration is also supported.
The default setting for the new property can be "default", since old
users upgrading to a new version that supports ipv4.link-local will not
have configured the global default in NetworkManager.conf. Therefore,
they will always use the expected "auto" default unless they change
their configuration.

During the deactivation of ovs interfaces, ovsdb receives the command to
remove the interface but for OVS system ports the device won't
disappear.
When reconnecting, ovsdb will update first the status and it will notice
that the OVS system interface was removed and it will set the status as
DEACTIVATING. This is incorrect if the status is already DEACTIVATING,
DISCONNECTED, UNMANAGED or UNAVAILABLE because it will block the
activation of the interface.

Currently nm_setting_bond_get_option_normalized() and
nm_setting_bond_get_option_or_default() are identical functions. As the
first one is exposed as public API and has a better name, let's drop the
second one.
NM_STR_BUF_INIT() and nm_str_buf_init() were pretty much redundant. Drop one of
them.
Usually our pattern is that we don't have functions that return structs.
But NM_STR_BUF_INIT() returns a struct, because it's convenient to use
with
nm_auto_str_buf NMStrBuf strbuf = NM_STR_BUF_INIT(...);
So use that variant instead.
For some device types the attach-port operation doesn't complete
immediately. NMDevice needs to wait that the operation completes
before proceeding (for example, before starting stage3 for the port).
Change attach_port() so that it can return TERNARY_DEFAULT to indicate
that the operation will complete asynchronously. Most of devices are
not affected by this and can continue returning TRUE/FALSE as before
without callback.
DHCP leases for a given interface are already exported on D-Bus
through DHCP4Config and DHCP6Config objects. It is useful to have the
same information also available on the filesystem so that it can be
easily used by scripts.
NM already saves some information about DHCP leases in /var, however
that directory can only be accessed by root, for good reasons.
Append lease options to the existing state file
/run/NetworkManager/devices/$ifindex. Contrary to /var this directory
is not persistent, but it seems more correct to expose the lease only
when it is active and not after it expired or after a reboot.
Since the file is in keyfile format, we add new [dhcp4] and [dhcp6]
sections; however, since some options have the same name for DHCPv4
and DHCPv6, we add a "dhcp4." or "dhcp6." prefix to make the parsing
by scripts (e.g. via "grep") easier.
The option name is the same we use on D-Bus. Since some DHCPv6 options
also have a "dhcp6_" prefix, the key name can contain "dhcp6" twice.
The new sections look like this:
[dhcp4]
dhcp4.broadcast_address=172.25.1.255
dhcp4.dhcp_lease_time=120
dhcp4.dhcp_server_identifier=172.25.1.4
dhcp4.domain_name_servers=172.25.1.4
dhcp4.domain_search=example.com
dhcp4.expiry=1641214444
dhcp4.ip_address=172.25.1.182
dhcp4.next_server=172.25.1.4
dhcp4.routers=172.25.1.4
dhcp4.subnet_mask=255.255.255.0
[dhcp6]
dhcp6.dhcp6_name_servers=fd01::1
dhcp6.dhcp6_ntp_servers=ntp.example.com
dhcp6.ip6_address=fd01::1aa
ASSUME is causing more troubles than benefits it provides. This patch is
dropping NM_L3_CFG_COMMIT_TYPE_ASSUME and assume_config_once. NM3LCfg
will commit as if the sys-iface-state is MANAGED.
This patch is part of the effort to remove ASSUME from NetworkManager.
After ASSUME is dropped when starting NetworkManager it will take full
control of the interface, re-configuring it. The interface will be
managed from the start instead of assumed and then managed.
This will solve the situations where an interface is half-up and then a
restart happens. When NetworkManager is back it won't add the missing
addresses (which is what assume does) so the interface will fail during
the activation and will require a full activation.

When attaching a bond port, kernel will reset the MTU of the port ([1],
[2]). Configuring a different MTU on the port seems not a sensible
thing for the user to do.
Still, before commit e67ddd826f ('device: commit MTU during stage2')
we would first attach the bond port before setting the MTU. That
changed, and now the MTU set by kernel wins.
Btw, this change in behavior happens because we attach the port in
stage3 (ip-config), which seems an ugly thing to do.
Anyway, fix this by setting the MTU after attaching the ports, but still
in stage3.
It is probably not sensible for the user to configure a different MTU.
Still, if the user requested it by configuration, we should apply it.
Note that NetworkManager has some logic to constrain the MTU based on
the parent/child and controller/port. In many regards however, NetworkManager
does not fully understand or enforce the correct MTU and relies on the
user to configure it correctly. After all, if the user misconfigures the
MTU, the setup will have problems anyway (and in many cases neither
kernel nor NetworkManager could know that the configuration is wrong).

The goal would be to ensure that a device cannot move to activated,
while a DNS update is still pending.
This does not really work for most cases. That is, because NMDevice does
not directly push DNS updates to NMDnsManager, instead, NMPolicy is
watching all device changes, and doing it. But when NMPolicy decides to
to that, may not be the right moment.
We really should let NMDevice (or better, NML3Cfg) directly talk to
NMDnsManager. Why not? They have all the information when new DNS
configuration is available. The only thing that NMPolicy does on top of
that, is determining which device has the best default route. NMPolicy
could continue to do that (or maybe NMDnsManager could), but the update
needs to be directly triggered by NMDevice/NML3Cfg.
Currently NetworkManager fails to establish a NAP bridge because it never gets
out of the stage2.
This is caused because when making the BlueZ callback reentrant we return
NM_ACT_STAGE_RETURN_POSTPONE even after registration has succeeded.
This patch changes registration to a three state automaton instead of a
boolean. This allows distinguishing when we are waiting for registration
to finish and when it is done and therefore ensures that when the stage2
is called again by the callback the result is success so NetworkManager
can proceed to the IP configuration.

When the ovs-bridge datapath is netdev, OpenvSwitch will not create a
ovs-interface but a tun interface. The ovs-interface device must check
all the link-change signals and check if the link type is tun and the
interface name is the same than the device name. If so, the
ovs-interface device will get the ifindex of the tun device. This allow
NetworkManager to manage the interface properly, modifying MTU,
configuring IPv4/IPv6 and others.
Example:
```
55: ovsbridge-port0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000

Move initialization of NMSettingBridge from NMPlatformLnkBridge to separate
function.
This is needed because this initialization will be used in more than one
function.
This will allow migrating a connection. If specified, the connection will
be confined to a particular settings plugin when written back. If the
plugin differs from the existing one, it will be removed from the old one.
We list the properties that can be reapplied, and reject the reapply
operation for any other changes. The idea is that usually reapply
of a property requires an explicit implementation (or may not make
sense).
"connection.autoconnect-slaves" is something that takes effect when
activating the master device. It does not matter when the device
is already active, thus there is no need to reject the reapply
operation.

This allows us to reject activation of WEP profiles very early,
also providing a reasonable error code to the client:
$ nmcli d wifi connect test
Error: Failed to add/activate new connection: wpa_supplicant does not support WEP encryption
When a NMDevice is involved in a PPPoE activation, it means that the
connection has connection.interface-name=<ethernet-interface>. In such
case, the ppp ifindex should be set as ip-ifindex of the ethernet
device.

We have nm_device_master_add_slave(). This should be mirrored by
nm_device_master_release_slave() (not release-one-slave).
Thereby, also rename nm_device_master_release_slaves() to
nm_device_master_release_slaves_all() to make it clearer.
I find the two (dependent) booleans "configure" and "force" confusing.
nm_device_master_release_one_slave() has many callers, it's interesting
to be able to grep for the release-type. Add an enum to make this more
readable.
Hope third time is the charm.
The idea here is to remove the OVSDB entry if the device actually went away
violently (like, the it was actually removed from the platform), but keep it if
we're shutting down.

When we have a bridge interface with ports attached externally (that is,
not by NetworkManager itself), then it can make sense that during
checkpoint rollback we want to keep those ports attached.
During rollback, we may need to deactivate the bridge device and
re-activate it. Implement this, by setting a flag before deactivating,
which prevents external ports to be detached. The flag gets cleared,
when the device state changes to activated (the following activation)
or unmanaged.
This is an ugly solution, for several reasons.
For one, NMDevice tracks its ports in the "slaves" list. But what
it does is ugly. There is no clear concept to understand what it
actually tacks. For example, it tracks externally added interfaces
(nm_device_sys_iface_state_is_external()) that are attached while
not being connected. But it also tracks interfaces that we want to attach
during activation (but which are not yet actually enslaved). It also tracks
slaves that have no actual netdev device (OVS). So it's not clear what this
list contains and what it should contain at any point in time. When we skip
the change of the slaves states during nm_device_master_release_slaves_all(),
it's not really clear what the effects are. It's ugly, but probably correct
enough. What would be better, if we had a clear purpose of what the
lists (or several lists) mean. E.g. a list of all ports that are
currently, physically attached vs. a list of ports we want to attach vs.
a list of OVS slaves that have no actual netdev device.
Another problem is that we attach state on the device
("activation_state_preserve_external_ports"), which should linger there
during the deactivation and reactivation. How can we be sure that we don't
leave that flag dangling there, and that the desired following activation
is the one we cared about? If the follow-up activation fails short (e.g. an
unmanaged command comes first), will we properly disconnect the slaves?
Should we even? In practice, it might be correct enough.
Also, we only implement this for bridges. I think this is where it makes
the most sense. And after all, it's an odd thing to preserve unknown,
external things during a rollback -- unknown, because we have no knowledge
about why these ports are attached and what to do with them.
Also, the change doesn't remember the ports that were attached when the
checkpoint was created. Instead, we preserve all ports that are attached
during rollback. That seems more useful and easier to implement. So we
don't actually rollback to the configuration when the checkpoint was
created. Instead, we rollback, but keep external devices.
Also, we do this now by default and introduce a flag to get the previous
behavior.

For devices that configure IP by themselves (by returning
"->ready_for_ip_config() = TRUE" and implementing
->act_stage3_ip_config()), we skip manual configuration. Currently,
manual configuration is the only one that sets flag HAS_DNS_PRIORITY
into the resulting l3cd.
So, the merged l3cd for such devices misses a dns-priority and is
ignored by the DNS manager.
Explicitly initialize the priority to 0; in this way, the default
value for the device will be set in the final l3cd during the merge.

The abbreviations "ms", "us", "ns" don't look good.
Spell out to "msec", "usec", "nsec" as done at other places.
Also, rename NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MS_WATCHDOG to
NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_ADDITIONAL_MSEC.
Also, rename NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MS to NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MAX_MSEC.
There are different timeouts, and this is the maximum gracetime we
will give during shutdown to complete async operations.
Naming is hard, but I think these are better names.
After the first time committing, the routes and addresses are removed
directly by bypassing the l3cfg in `nm_device_cleanup()`, then when
committing the second time, the l3cfg think that some addresses are
still configured but they are actually already disappeared from the
kernel already.
To fix it, commit the l3cd changes through l3cfg instead of removing
the addresses/routes directly.
The DPDK port will not have a link after the devbind which is needed for
configuring an interface to be a DPDK port. The MTU is being committed
during the link change but for DPDK ports there is no link.
The DPDK port MTU should be set on ovsdb right after the interface is
added to ovsdb. This way the users will be able to set MTU for DPDK
ports and modify it.

Since commit ecc73eb239 ('ovs-port: always remove the OVSDB entry on
slave release'), ovs port were removing the ovsdb entry upon being
un-enslaved, no matter what the reason for un-enslavement was. The idea
was to remove the stale ovsdb entry upon forcible device removal.
This cleanup is specific to OpenVSwitch, since for other device types,
the device master is the property of the slave and thus goes away along
with the device.
Turns out we're now removing the ovsdb entry even when the device
actually doesn't go away, but we're pretending it does because the
daemon is shutting down.
To add insult to injury, we generally end up removing one entry,
because the other ovsdb calls end up in a queue and don't get serviced
before the daemon shuts down. The result is a mess. (This patch
doesn't solve that -- if someone terminates the daemon with in-flight
ovsdb calls they're still out of luck).
Let's do the cleanup now only if the device was actually physically
removed.
