We added "ipv4.route-table-sync" and "ipv6.route-table-sync" to not change
behavior for users that configured policy routing outside of NetworkManager,
for example, via a dispatcher script. Users had to explicitly opt-in
for NetworkManager to fully manage all routing tables.
These settings were awkward. Replace them with new settings "ipv4.route-table"
and "ipv6.route-table". Note that this commit breaks API/ABI on the unstable
development branch by removing recently added API.
As before, a connection will have no route-table set by default. This
has the meaning that policy-routing is not enabled and only the main table
will be fully synced. Once the user sets a table, we recognize that and
NetworkManager manages all routing tables.
The new route-table setting has other important uses: analog to
"ipv4.route-metric", it is the default that applies to all routes.
Currently it only works for static routes, not DHCP, SLAAC,
default-route, etc. That will be implemented later.
For static routes, each route still can explicitly set a table, and
overwrite the per-connection setting in "ipv4.route-table" and
"ipv6.route-table".
The line
device (wlan0): state change: ip-config -> ip-check (reason none, internal state managed)
prints the sys-iface-state, which is at other places logged with
device[0x55914506ed70] (wlan0): sys-iface-state: external -> managed
For consistency, name the same parameter the same.
The name nm_device_get_priority() is misleading. Nowadays it's only used
for the default route metric, and nothing else.
Rename it, and make it static.

this by moving g_object_freeze_notify() after the

- use nm_utils_addr_family_to_char(). It asserts that the input argument
is either AF_INET or AF_INET6.
- rename variable @family to @addr_family for consistency.
- when logging addr_family for activation-stage, use v4 or v6 instead
of numeric AF_INET/AF_INET6.
Move creating the logging output inside the logging macro, so it is
evaluated lazyly. Also, use a stack-allocated buffer.
Drop the redundant @inet4 variable.
Since commit 6845b9b80a ("device: delay
startup complete until device is initialized in platform", we also wait
for devices that are still initializing platform/UDEV.
Obviously, that only applies to realized devices.
Otherwise, an unrealized device is going to block startup complete.
Fixes: 6845b9b80a
Sometimes, when we have a platform object, we need to keep it
alive, because any subsequent platform operation might invalidate
the object.
Previously, we achieved that by copying the NMPlatformLink data.
For a while now, all platform object are immuable and recounted.
We should not copy the instance to a NMPlatformLink object, because
then the instance is no longer a full NMPObject. Instead, just take an
additional reference. Since the object must be immutable, that is
just as safe. But now callees down the stack get a proper NMPObject
instance, and might reference it too.
We already have various ways to mark a device as unmanaged.
1) via udev-rule ENV{NM_UNMANAGED}. This can be overwritten via D-Bus
at runtime.
2) via settings plugin. That is NM_CONTROLLED=no for ifcfg-rh and
keyfile.unmanaged-devices in NetworkManager.conf.
3) at runtime, via D-Bus. This is persisted in the run state file
and persists restarts (but not reboot).
This adds another way via NetworkManager.conf file. Note that the
existing keyfile.unmanaged-devices (above 2) is also a configuration
optin in NetworkManager.conf. However it has various downsides:
- it cannot be overwritten at runtime (see commit
c210134bd5).
- you can only explicitly mark a device as unmanaged. That means,
you cannot use it to manage a device which is unmanaged due to
a udev rule.
- the name "keyfile.*" sounds like it's only relevant for the keyfile settings
plugin. Nowadays the keyfile plugin is always loaded, so the option applies
to NetworkManager in general.

nm_device_match_parent() is called to check whether a device is
compatible with a given parent (UUID or interface). Accept any UUID If
there is no connection active on the device.
Without this, when there is a VLAN/MACVLAN connection with a parent
UUID the manager would create the device in
system_create_virtual_device(), realize it and then at the next call
of system_create_virtual_device() it would notice that the connection
is not compatible with the device because of the parent UUID;
therefore the manager would try to create again the same device,
failing.

Since commit a21b8882cc ("device: update
external configuration before commit"), we correctly re-sync the
external IP configuration before a merge, in case we notice that
there were some changes in platform.
Go a step further, and do the full update_ext_ip_config(). We should
have one way how to capture the external config, including intersect
and subtract. Otherwise, we end up with an @ext_ip4_config, which is
different from how it looks usually.
Refactor the code. There should be no changes in behavior at all.
The point is, to be able to reuse update_ext_ip_config() in the
next commit.
And also, I think it's an antipattern to have mirroring functions like
ip4_xyz() and ip6_xyz(). Instead, there should be one function, with
extra addr_family argument. That way, it'much clearer where two
implementations differ and where they are identical.
Basically, it moves the differentiation per the address family down
the call stack, closer to the place where the behavior is actually
different.
If the commit of static connection parameters fails before starting
RA, we should reset @con_ip6_config; otherwise any external update
arriving before the commit of RA parameters will remove from
@con_ip6_config all parameters not present externally, because in
update_ip6_config() we do:
/* This function was called upon external changes. Remove the configuration
* (addresses,routes) that is no longer present externally from the internal
* config. This way, we don't re-add addresses that were manually removed
* by the user. */
if (priv->con_ip6_config)
nm_ip6_config_intersect (priv->con_ip6_config, priv->ext_ip6_config);
Instead if @con_ip6_config is cleared it will be rebuilt from the
connection setting at the next commit.
Fixes-test: @ipv6_preserve_cached_routes
When a device managed by NetworkManager is configured manually (adding
ip addresses), NetworkManager will track the device configuration with
an in-memory only config, marking the device as "external".
Devices marked external should be just tracked but left untouched.
This does not happens on current code base: if an ipv4 address is added,
NM generates the in-memory connection, marking the ipv6.method as "ignore".
While activating the connection, NM will process the IPv6 "ignore" method:
this implies leaving the IPv6LL address generation to the kernel. To
trigger this NM will disable/enable IPv6 on the interface.
This not only may change the device configuration but may cause also
a potential race with an external IPv6 assignment on the device.
NetworkManager should do nothing to IPv6 when method is "ignore" and
connection is marked as "external": this commit fixes this behavior.
Note that if/once an IPv6 address is externally added, IPv6 method in the
tracked connection is changed to "manual" and a link local address will be
generated if needed.

Before commit 6698bf58bb, we would rely on
kernel to add the device-route for manual IPv6 routes. We broke that and now
kernel would still add the device-route, however nm_platform_ip_route_sync()
would delete it immediately after.
That is because previously nm_platform_ip_route_sync() would ignore routes
with rtm_protocol RTPRO_KERNEL. Now, it will sync and delete those too.
Fix that by adding the device-route like we do it for IPv4. This also
fixes an actual issue where the automatically added route always had
route-metric 256. Instead, we now use the metric from ipv6.route-metric
setting.
Fixes: 6698bf58bb
If we don't commit the IP config, we must merge the currently tracked
default route. Otherwise, on every non-commit call of
ip4_config_merge_and_apply(), the default-route gets lost.
Fixes: 77ec302714
Kernel does not allow to add IPv6 routes with "src", as long as the
corresponding address is still tentative (related bug rh#1457196).
The workaround for this is cumbersome. First, when we fail to add such a
route with "pref_src", we guess that it happend due to this issue. In
that case, nm_ip6_config_commit() returns the list of routes that could
not be added for the moment (but hopefully can be added later).
We track this list in NMDevice, and keep trying to merge the routes
back into ip6_config. In order to not try indefinitely, keep track of a
timestamp when we tried to add this route for the first time.
Another uglyness is that pending tentative routes don't explicitly block
activation. In practice they may do, because for these routes we also have
an IPv6 address that is still doing DAD, so the IP configuration is
still pending due to that.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1452684
For IPv6, we create device routes when processing the RA and add it to
NMIP6Config like any other route. For IPv4 we didn't do that. Instead
we created the list of device routes during nm_ip4_config_commit() and
passed it to nm_platform_ip_route_sync().
In many cases we want to treat IPv4 and IPv6 generically. That looks nicer
if we distingish by an @addr_family integer, instead of a boolean.
Replace the @is_ipv6 boolean with an @addr_family paramter. The @is_ipv6
boolean is inconsistent with other places where we use @is_ipv4 to
indicate the opposite. Eventually, we should use @addr_family
everywhere.
Also, at the call site it's not immediately clear what TRUE/FALSE means,
here AF_INET/AF_INET6 is better.
- cleanup data type and use guint32 consistently. We might want to
introduce a new "infinity" value. But since libnm's
NM_SETTING_IP_CONFIG_DHCP_TIMEOUT asserts against the range
0 - G_MAXINT32, we cannot express it as -1 anyway. So, infinity
will have the numerical value G_MAXINT32, hence guint32 is just
fine.
- make use of existing ipv6.dhcp-timeout setting and add global
default configuration in NetworkManager.conf
- instead of having subclasses call nm_device_set_dhcp_timeout(),
add a virtual function get_dhcp_timeout().
Previously when the interface created by pppd was already the one we
expected, we would rename it to itself and remove the device from the
manager. Don't do it.
Fixes: 6c3195931e
Remove NMDefaultRouteManager. Instead, add the default-route to the
NMIP4Config/NMIP6Config instance.
This basically reverts commit e8824f6a52.
We added NMDefaultRouteManager because we used the corresponding to `ip
route replace` when configuring routes. That would replace default-routes
on other interfaces so we needed a central manager to coordinate routes.
Now, we use the corresponding of `ip route append` to configure routes,
and each interface can configure routes indepdentently.
In NMDevice, when creating the default-route, ignore @auto_method for
external devices. We shall not touch these devices.
Especially the code in NMPolicy regarding selection of the best-device
seems wrong. It probably needs further adjustments in the future.
Especially get_best_ip_config() should be replaced, because this
distinction VPN vs. devices seems wrong to me.
Thereby, remove the @ignore_never_default argument. It was added by
commit bb75026004, I don't think it's
needed anymore.
This brings another change. Now that we track default-routes in
NMIP4Config/NMIP6Config, they are also exposed on D-Bus like regular
routes. I think that makes sense, but it is a change in behavior, as
previously such routes were not exposed there.
When creating the NMIP4Config/NMIP6Config instance, we must always use the right
ifindex. That is the ifindex, on which we want to apply the config. It also means,
that for device-based VPNs (those with priv->ip_ifindex set, like OpenVPN), the
parent's config must have the ip-ifindex of the parent device. Not of the
VPN's device.
One effect of this bug is that in add_ip4_vpn_gateway_route() we resolve
the route to the external gateway and only accept it if it's on the
parent device. But since the ifindex of the config was wrong, we would accept
route on the wrong interface.

If the slave is 'external' we should never touch it, in particular we
should not release the link from its master; we only have to remove it
from master's list.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1442361
Previously, if a master device had internal state 'managed', we would
promote the slave to 'managed' as well. However,
- if the slave is 'external', it should stay as is because we don't
want to start managing it
- if the slave is 'assumed', it will become managed when the
activation succeeds, so it's not necessary to do it here
Fixes: 850c977953
Change the output of nm_platform_error_to_string() to print the numeric value.
Also, accept a string buffer instead of using an alloca() allocated buffer.
There is still a macro to provide the previous functionality, but it
was ill-suited to call from inside a loop.
Add an utility function for resetting addresses/routes of NMIP6Config
from NMNDisc data. For one, this de-duplicates code in device and
nm-iface-helper.
Also, we no longer first reset (delete) all addresses and add them anew.
Instead, we first mark all entries as dirty for deletion, merge (append)
the new entires, and delete the remaining dirty entires. This saves a
extra work, in the expected case where NMIP6Config already contains
several of the new entries.
Previously, we would add exclusive routes via netlink message flags
NLM_F_CREATE | NLM_F_REPLACE for RTM_NEWROUTE. Similar to `ip route replace`.
Using that form of RTM_NEWROUTE message, we could only add a certain
route with a certain network/plen,metric triple once. That was already
hugely inconvenient, because
- when configuring routes, multiple (managed) interfaces may get
conflicting routes (multihoming). Only one of the routes can be actually
configured using `ip route replace`, so we need to track routes that are
currently shadowed.
- when configuring routes, we might replace externally configured
routes on unmanaged interfaces. We should not interfere with such
routes.
That was worked around by having NMRouteManager (and NMDefaultRouteManager).
NMRouteManager would keep a list of the routes which NetworkManager would like
to configure, even if momentarily being unable to do so due to conflicting routes.
This worked mostly well but was complicated. It involved bumping metrics to
avoid conflicts for device routes, as we might require them for gateway routes.
Drop that now. Instead, use the corresponding of `ip route append` to configure
routes. This allows NetworkManager to confiure (almost) all routes that we care.
Especially, it can configure all routes on a managed interface, without
replacing/interfering with routes on other interfaces. Hence, NMRouteManager
becomes obsolete.
It practice it is a bit more complicated because:
- when adding an IPv4 address, kernel will automatically create a device route
for the subnet. We should avoid that by using the IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE flag for
IPv4 addresses (still to-do). But as kernel may not support that flag for IPv4
addresses yet (and we don't require such a kernel yet), we still need functionality
similar to nm_route_manager_ip4_route_register_device_route_purge_list().
This functionality is now handled via nm_platform_ip4_dev_route_blacklist_set().
- trying to configure an IPv6 route with a source address will be rejected
by kernel as long as the address is tentative (see related bug rh#1457196).
Preferably, NMDevice would keep the list of routes which should be configured,
while kernel would have the list of what actually is configured. There is a
feed-back loop where both affect each other (for example, when externally deleting
a route, NMDevice must forget about it too). Previously, NMRouteManager would have
the task of remembering all routes which we currently want to configure, but cannot
due to conflicting routes.
We get rid of that, because now we configure non-exclusive routes. We however still
will need to remember IPv6 routes with a source address, that currently cannot be
configured yet. Hence, we will need to keep track of routes that
currently cannot be configured, but later may be.
That is still not done yet, as NMRouteManager didn't handle this
correctly either.
Rename to nm_platform_ip_address_flush(), it's more consistent with naming
for other platform functions.
Also, pass an address family argument. Sometimes I feel an option makes it clearer
what the function does. Otherwise, from the name it's not clear which address
families are affected. As an API, it feels more correct to me.
We soon also get a nm_platform_ip_route_flush() function, which will
look similar.
nmp_lookup_init_route_visible() was originally named this way, to only return routes
that are nmp_object_is_visible(). However, all routes are visible (as long as they are
nmp_object_is_alive()). Hence, this is a historic misnomer.
Also, passing @only_default FALSE is identical to the
nmp_lookup_init_addrroute() lookup.
So, rename the function to indicate it is a lookup for default routes
only. Also, get rid of the unsupported ifindex argument for which there
is no index.
Add code to NMPppDevice to activate new-style PPPoE connections. This
is a bit tricky because we can't create the link as usual in
create_and_realize(). Instead, we create a device without ifindex and
start pppd in stage2; when pppd reports a new configuration, we rename
the platform link to the correct name and set the ifindex into the
device.
This mechanism is inherently racy, but there is no way to tell pppd to
create an arbitrary interface name.
