D-BUS API: `fec-mode: uint32_t`.
Keyfile:
```
[ethtool]
fec-mode=<uint32_t>
```
nmcli: `ethtool.fec-mode` allowing values are any combination of:
* auto
* off
* rs
* baser
* llrs

Adds an option in the connectivity section to change the timeout before
the interface is deemed "limited". Previously, it was hardcoded to
20 seconds, but for our usecase (failing over to cell modem if
hardwired ethernet drops), it's nice to be able to failover to another
interface more quickly.
Probably not all drivers and devices return all parameters. Set them to
"unknown" if they are missing and let the caller to decide what to do.
In our case, if the sriov setting has a value different to "preserve" it
will try to set it (and will probably fail). But if the missing
parameter is set to "preserve" in the sriov setting we can continue,
just ignoring it.

This option was only introduced only to allow keeping the old behavior
in RHEL7, while the default order was changed from 'ifindex' to 'name'
in RHEL8. The usefulness of this option is questionable, as 'name'
together with predictable interface names should give predictable order.
When not using predictable interface names, the name is unpredictable
but so is the ifindex.

There are various properties related to EEE, that we might want to add
support for in the future (for example, "ethtool.eee-advertise").
Don't use up the base name "eee", instead make it "eee-enabled". All
properties should have different prefixes, and "ethtool.eee" would be a
prefix of "ethtool.eee-advertise".
Also, the #define is already called NM_ETHTOOL_OPTNAME_EEE_ENABLED. This
also should be consistent.
Rename.

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
Convert the open-coded conditions to a switch/case so that the
compilation will fail if a new ethtool type is added and is not
handled in various places.
Adds a new WiFi 6GHz capability flag, NM_WIFI_DEVICE_CAP_FREQ_6GHZ,
along side the existing NM_WIFI_DEVICE_CAP_FREQ_2GHZ &
NM_WIFI_DEVICE_CAP_FREQ_5GHZ flags.
Gnome settings utilizes the 2 existing flags to present supported
bands in gnome-settings. I will be using this additional flag in
modifications there.

The default behavior is not to rename profiles. I guess, that makes
sense, as renaming a file when changing the "connection.id" could break
users who rely on the name.
My use case is the following. When I connect a Wi-Fi hotspot I use
`nmcli device wifi connect $SSID`, which -- as expected -- persists the
profile to "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/$SSID.nmconnection".
Later, I always update the profile's name to "w_$SSID" so I can see on
the name that this is wireless profile. I also want the filename to
reflect that change of name.
Add a configuration option for that. All the infrastructure
("force_rename" parameter) already exists.
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.
Have "len" before "elem_size". That is consistent with g_qsort_with_data()
and bsearch(), and is also what I would expect.
Note that the previous commit just renamed the function. If a user
of the new, changed API gets backported to an older branch, we will
get a compilation error and note that the arguments need to be adjusted.
The "nm_utils_" prefix is just too verbose. Drop it.
Also, Posix has a bsearch function. As this function
is similar, rename it.
Note that currently the arguments are provided in differnt
order from bsearch(). That will be partly addressed next.
That is the main reason for the rename. The next commit
will swap the arguments, so do a rename first to get a compilation
error when backporting a patch that uses the changed API.
"nm-error.h" is public API of libnm, and contains error numbers and
quarks. Clearly our "nm-crypto" implementation wants to use those
errors.
I want to move "nm-crypto" out of libnm, and as it's more basic, I think
it should not have a dependency on all of libnm-core. Also because
libnm-core currently uses nm-crypto, so there would be a circular
dependency. Which would be possible to do (libnm-core-aux-intern is
also used in such a way). But it's better avoided, to have clear
hierarchy of dependencies.
Add a version of the same error codes to libnm-base. libnm-base is a
very basic dependency (just one step above libnm-glib-aux).
"-" is not allowed as D-Bus path and interface name, and discouraged as
bus name. This cause nm-priv-helper to crash, because GDBus asserts the
the object path is valid.
Replace the '-' with '_'. This way, it's consistent with
"nm_dispatcher".

We use clang-format for automatic formatting of our source files.
Since clang-format is actively maintained software, the actual
formatting depends on the used version of clang-format. That is
unfortunate and painful, but really unavoidable unless clang-format
would be strictly bug-compatible.
So the version that we must use is from the current Fedora release, which
is also tested by our gitlab-ci. Previously, we were using Fedora 34 with
clang-tools-extra-12.0.1-1.fc34.x86_64.
As Fedora 35 comes along, we need to update our formatting as Fedora 35
comes with version "13.0.0~rc1-1.fc35".
An alternative would be to freeze on version 12, but that has different
problems (like, it's cumbersome to rebuild clang 12 on Fedora 35 and it
would be cumbersome for our developers which are on Fedora 35 to use a
clang that they cannot easily install).
The (differently painful) solution is to reformat from time to time, as we
switch to a new Fedora (and thus clang) version.
Usually we would expect that such a reformatting brings minor changes.
But this time, the changes are huge. That is mentioned in the release
notes [1] as
Makes PointerAligment: Right working with AlignConsecutiveDeclarations. (Fixes https://llvm.org/PR27353)

We will use these values from NML3Cfg, and it seems wrong that NML3Cfg
would include "dns/nm-dns-manager.h" for this.
Enums are very "static". They have no logic, and there is less need to
separate the code well. Meaning, it doesn't hurt to define this enum
in "libnm-base/nm-base.h" which can be included by (almost) anybody.
Configuration can have [device*] and [connection*] settings and both
can include a 'match-device=' key, which is a list of device-specs.
Introduce a new 'allowed-connections' key for [device*] sections,
which specifies a list of connection-specs to indicate which
connections can be activated on the device.
With this, it becomes possible to have a device configuration like:
[device-enp1s0]
match-device=interface-name:enp1s0
allowed-connections=except:origin:nm-initrd-generator
so that NM in the real root ignores connections created by the
nm-initrd-generator, and starts activating a persistent
connection. This requires also setting 'keep-configuration=no' to not
generate an assumed connection.
Add a new 'keep-configuration' device option, set to 'yes' by
default. When set to 'no', on startup NetworkManager ignores that the
interface is pre-configured and doesn't try to keep its
configuration. Instead, it activates one of the persistent
connections.
To talk to ovsdb, we use the unix socket at
/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock. But that socket is owned by another user
and NetworkManager would need dac_override capability to open it.
We want to drop dac_override, but we still need to talk to ovsdb. Add a
GetFD() method to nm-sudo.
We still first try to open the socket directly. Maybe it just works.
Note that SELinux may block passing file descriptors from nm-sudo. If it
doesn't work for you, test with SELinux permissive mode and wait for an
SELinux update.
NetworkManager runs as root and has lots of capabilities.
We want to reduce the attach surface by dropping capabilities,
but there is a genuine need to do certain things.
For example, we currently require dac_override capability, to open
the unix socket of ovsdb. Most users wouldn't use OVS, so we should
find a way to not require that dac_override capability. The solution
is to have a separate, D-Bus activate service (nm-sudo), which
has the capability to open and provide the file descriptor.
For authentication, we only rely on D-Bus. We watch the name owner
of NetworkManager, and only accept requests from that service. We trust
D-Bus to get it right a request from that name owner is really coming
from NetworkManager. If we couldn't trust that, how could PolicyKit
or any authentication via D-Bus work? For testing, the user can set
NM_SUDO_NO_AUTH_FOR_TESTING=1.

Watch for NMSettingConnection changes and creation signals and convert
them to IWD format and write them to the configured IWD profile storage
directory. The logic is off by default and gets enabled when the new
iwd-config-path setting in nm.conf's [main] group is set to a path to
an existing directory.
The idea here is that when a user edits an NM connection profile, the
change is immediately mirrored in IWD since IWD watches its
configuration directory using inotify. This way NM clients can be used
to edit 802.1x settings, the PSK passphrase or the SSID -- changes that
would previously not take effect with the IWD backend.
Some precautions are taken to not make connections owned by a user
available to other users, such connections are not converted at all.
In all other cases where a connection cannot be converted sufficiently
well to the IWD format, for various reasons, we also give up and not
mirror these connections.
Due to IWD limitations and design differences with NM this logic has
many problems where it may not do its task properly. It's meant to work
on a best-effort and "better than nothing" basis, but it should be safe
in that it shouldn't delete users data or reveal secrets, etc. The most
obvious limitation is that there can be multiple NM connections
referring to the same SSID+Security tuple and only one IWD profile can
exist because the filename is based on only the SSID+Security type. We
already had one NM connection selected for each IWD KnownNetwork and
referenced by a pointer, so we ignore changes in NM connections other
than that selected one.
Note that we take defines from "src/core/nm-config.h" which
are GPL-2.0-or-later licensed.
libnm-base we want to include in other LGPL licensed sources,
we it must also be LGPL.
"relicense" the code that I take. I don't think it's a problem, because:
- these are only plain defines. To which extend is that even
copyrightable?
- as far as I see, all the code was contributed by people who agreed
to such relicensing. See RELICENSE.md file.
