As with the other connection-matching methods, move the loop and the
device-independent bits into NMDevice. By reusing
nm_device_check_connection_compatible(), this means that most device
types now no longer need any type-specific code for this.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693684
nm_device_connection_match_config() sounded more generic than it
really was; rename it to nm_device_find_assumable_connection(), which
is what it really does.
There was also a lot of redundancy/cut+paste in the subclass
implementations of connection_match_config(); Improve things by moving
the looping-over-connections code into NMDevice itself, and also doing
the general-device-compatibility and IP-config checking there, leaving
the device subclasses to just verify L2 properties. Which most of them
aren't doing...

Since NMDevice has a generic get_hw_address() method now, it can do
nm_device_spec_match_list() itself (for everything except ethernet,
which needs to match against s390 subchannels too).

The code flow is actually somewhat simpler this way since the
subclasses don't have to ask NMDeviceWired for the address
every time. Plus then NMDeviceWired doesn't have to know
anything about its subclasses in the constructor.
This function gets used for both /proc/sys (ie, sysctl) and for
sysfs attributes. There are two issues with it:
1) most sysctl values don't care about a trailing LF, but some
sysfs attributes (infiniband) do; so we always have to add the
trailing LF. Just move that into the function to ensure that
callers don't forget to add it.
2) neither sysfs or sysctl support partial writes, while the
existing function did partial writes. Practically, both the
write handlers for sysfs and sysctl should always handle all
the data, but if they don't, partial writes are wrong. So
instead, try three times to write all the data.
The idea was copied from gtk, but it's only used there in cases where
the method's wrapper function and default implementation would
otherwise have the same name, which never happens in NM because our
method implementations aren't prefixed with the type name, so it's
just noise here.
It is currently not possible to create a connection where the
connection-type-specific NMSetting has all default values. This hasn't
been a problem in the past because each type had at least one property
that either had no default value or had a default value that didn't
pass verify(). But NMSettingInfiniband didn't have that property, so
it's impossible to create an InfiniBand connection unless you change
the value of at least InfiniBand-specific setting.
Work around this for now by making the default value of
NMSettingInfiniband:transport-mode be NULL, so it needs to be
overridden.
"InfiniBand" has a capital "B". Fix that everywhere it's being used as
a human-readable string.
In particular, the RH initscripts recognize "TYPE=infiniband" and
"TYPE=InfiniBand", but not "TYPE=Infiniband", which is what we were
writing before.
We'll want to eventually match (for VLAN) a given hardware address
that's not the device's hardware address. Only the device itself
knows which NMSetting should contain it's hardware address (ie
the 'wired' setting for NMDeviceEthernet, 'infiniband' for
NMDeviceInfiniband, etc) and VLANs take their hardware address
from the parent interface. So eventually we'll have VLAN
interfaces use these new arguments to ask their parent interface
to match the VLAN hardware address in a connection, since the
VLAN doesn't know (or need to know) what kind of interface it
really is underneath.
Rather than generating enum classes by hand (and complaining in each
file that "this should really be standard"), use glib-mkenums.
Unfortunately, we need a very new version of glib-mkenums in order to
deal with NM's naming conventions and to fix a few other bugs, so just
import that into the source tree temporarily.
Also, to simplify the use of glib-mkenums, import Makefile.glib from
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/654395.
To avoid having to run glib-mkenums for every subdirectory of src/,
add a new "generated" directory, and put the generated enums files
there.
Finally, use Makefile.glib for marshallers too, and generate separate
ones for libnm-glib and NetworkManager.
Shortcut to access the connection linked to the activation
request of a device.
The patch only replaces usage with nm_device_get_connection()
if the existing code assumes that an activation request must
be available.
