nm_utils_exp10() is a better name, because it reminds of the function
exp10() from <math.h> which has a similar purpose (but whose argument
is double, not gint16).
We need a distinction between external activations and assuming
connections. The former shall have the meaning of devices that are
*not* managed by NetworkManager, the latter are configurations that
are gracefully taken over after restart (but fully managed).
Express that in the activation-type of the active connection.
Also, no longer use the settings NM_SETTINGS_CONNECTION_FLAGS_VOLATILE
flag to determine whether an assumed connection is "external". These
concepts are entirely orthogonal (although in pratice, external
activations are in-memory and flagged as volatile, but the inverse
is not necessarily true).
Also change match_connection_filter() to consider all connections.
Later, we only call nm_utils_match_connection() for the connection
we want to assume -- which will be a regular settings connection,
not a generated one.
NMPolicy's auto_activate_device() wants to sort by autoconnect-priority,
nm_utils_cmp_connection_by_autoconnect_priority() but fallback to the default
nm_settings_connection_cmp_default(), which includes the timestamp.
Extend nm_settings_connection_cmp_default() to consider the
autoconnect-priority as well. Thus change behavior so that
nm_settings_connection_cmp_default() is the sort order that
auto_activate_device() wants. That makes sense, as
nm_settings_connection_cmp_default() already considered the
ability to autoconnect as first. Hence, it should also honor
the autoconnect priority.
When doing that, rename nm_settings_connection_cmp_default()
to nm_settings_connection_cmp_autoconnect_priority().
Have a proper cmp() function and a wrapper *_p_with_data() that can be
used for g_qsort_with_data().
Thus, establish a naming scheme (*_p_with_data()) for these compare
wrappers that we need all over the place. Note, we also have
nm_strcmp_p_with_data() for the same reason and later more such
functions will follow.
It's not used anymore. Which is a good thing, because if it was used
we'd have to get rid of the uses.
It did accept a whitespace separated string for an argument, which is
never useful for us; it indicated error either on g_spawn_sync()
failure or an error status code of the program spawned, but only set the
error in the former case which had let to errors.
The would would be a bit nicer place without it.
(But not much)
Changes:
- match_device_s390_subchannels_parse() should accept un-initialized
arguments a,b,c, as they are striclty output arguments (without
transfering ownership).
- the output arguments should be set if (and only if) the function
succeeds. That is, move assigning the output arguments to the end.
- increase the BUFSIZE. It's unclear why choosing 10. Probably that
was already sufficient as a subchannel looks like
"0.0.f5f0,0.0.f5f1,0.0.f5f2". Still, increase it to be ample.
If we want to restrict the parsing based on the lenght of the input,
that should be done explicitly (but that seems not desirable).
- use _nm_utils_ascii_str_to_int64() which checks that the range
of the values fits in guint32.
It seems wrong that match_device_s390_subchannels_eval() only compares
the first of up to three subchannels. But leave it as is for now.
(cherry picked from commit 419151a19e)
When searching for "*", we still need to check for higher priority
"except:" matches. But don't duplicate the search loop and just
proceed with the regular searched.
It already has the "if (!except && match == NM_MATCH_SPEC_MATCH)" which
short-cuts the search.
(cherry picked from commit 9fff9f501a)
Instead of passing on invdividual arguments for the match, create
a MatchDeviceData structure and pass it on.
This reduces the number of arguments and extending it later should
be easier. Also, lazily parse the hardware address as needed.
(cherry picked from commit b0aaff86b6)
Previously, we would have different functions like
- nm_match_spec_device_type()
- nm_match_spec_hwaddr()
- nm_match_spec_s390_subchannels()
- nm_match_spec_interface_name()
which all would handle one type of match-spec.
So, to get the overall result whether the arguments
match or not, nm_device_spec_match_list() had to stich
them together and iterate the list multiple times.
Refactor the code to have one nm_match_spec_device()
function that gets all relevant paramters.
The upside is:
- the logic how to evaluate the match-spec is all at one place
(match_device_eval()) instead of spread over multiple
functions.
- It requires iterating the list at most twice. Twice, because
we do a fast pre-search for "*".
One downside could be, that we have to pass all 4 arguments
for the evaluation, even if the might no be needed. That is,
because "nm-core-utils.c" shall be independend from NMDevice, it
cannot receive a device instance to get the parameters as needed.
As we would add new match-types, the argument list would grow.
However, all arguments are cached and fetching them from the
device's private data is very cheap.

Usecase: when connecting to a public Wi-Fi with MAC address randomization
("wifi.cloned-mac-address=random") you get on every re-connect a new
IP address due to the changing MAC address.
"wifi.cloned-mac-address=stable" is the solution for that. But that
means, every time when reconnecting to this network, the same ID will
be reused. We want an ID that is stable for a while, but at a later
point a new ID should e generated when revisiting the Wi-Fi network.
Extend the stable-id to become dynamic and support templates/substitutions.
Currently supported is "${CONNECTION}", "${BOOT}" and "${RANDOM}".
Any unrecognized pattern is treated verbaim/untranslated.
"$$" is treated special to allow escaping the '$' character. This allows
the user to still embed verbatim '$' characters with the guarantee that
future versions of NetworkManager will still generate the same ID.
Of course, a user could just avoid '$' in the stable-id unless using
it for dynamic substitutions.
Later we might want to add more recognized substitutions. For example, it
could be useful to generate new IDs based on the current time. The ${} syntax
is extendable to support arguments like "${PERIODIC:weekly}".
Also allow "connection.stable-id" to be set as global default value.
Previously that made no sense because the stable-id was static
and is anyway strongly tied to the identity of the connection profile.
Now, with dynamic stable-ids it gets much more useful to specify
a global default.
Note that pre-existing stable-ids don't change and still generate
the same addresses -- unless they contain one of the new ${} patterns.
We require a network-id. Assert that it is set.
Also, we encode the stable-id as uint8. Thus, add
an assertion that we don't use more then 254 IDs.
If we ever make use of stable-type 255, we must extend
the encoding to allow for more values. The assertion
is there to catch that.
A reimplementation of g_file_get_contents() to overcome two limitations:
- nm_utils_file_get_contents() accepts a @dirfd argument to open the
file relative using openat().
- nm_utils_fd_get_contents() allows to read the content from a file
filedescriptor.
- both support a max_length argument, to fail gracefully if we
get tricked into loading a huge file.
Moving the PPP manager to a separate plugin that is loaded when needed
has the advantage of slightly reducing memory footprint and makes it
possible to install the PPP support only where needed.

We use the lifetime of 0 to indicate permanent addresses while
DHCP uses that lifetime to indicate the addresses should be removed.
Use the presence of a timestamp to differentiate the two.

_nm_utils_hwaddr_length() did a validation of the string
and returned the length of the address. In all cases where
we were interested in that, we also either want to validate
the address, get the address in binary form, or canonicalize
the address.
We can avoid these duplicate checks, by using _nm_utils_hwaddr_aton()
which both does the parsing and returning the length.
In some places we use g_file_set_contents() after a umask() to limit
the permissions of the created file. Unfortunately if the containing
directory has a default ACL the umask will be ignored and the new file
will have a mode equal to the default ACL (since g_file_set_contents()
opens the file with mode 0666).
Calling a chmod() after the file gets created is insecure (see commit
60b7ed3bdc) and so the only solution seems to be to reimplement
g_file_set_contents() and accept a mode as parameter.
We already had similar functions in the tree, consolidate them into a
new generic utility function.

When looking for the dnsmasq (or any) binary, NetworkManager should
check /usr/local before it checks any system installed version. This
allows the user to replace the binary with a newer version should they
desire and is more consistent with the search behaviour commonly found
in $PATH.

For the per-connection settings "ethernet.cloned-mac-address"
and "wifi.cloned-mac-address", and for the per-device setting
"wifi.scan-rand-mac-address", we may generate MAC addresses using
either the "random" or "stable" algorithm.
Add new properties "generate-mac-address-mask" that allow to configure
which bits of the MAC address will be scrambled.
By default, the "random" and "stable" algorithms scamble all bits
of the MAC address, including the OUI part and generate a locally-
administered, unicast address.
By specifying a MAC address mask, we can now configure to perserve
parts of the current MAC address of the device. For example, setting
"FF:FF:FF:00:00:00" will preserve the first 3 octects of the current
MAC address.
One can also explicitly specify a MAC address to use instead of the
current MAC address. For example, "FF:FF:FF:00:00:00 68:F7:28:00:00:00"
sets the OUI part of the MAC address to "68:F7:28" while scrambling
the last 3 octects.
Similarly, "02:00:00:00:00:00 00:00:00:00:00:00" will scamble
all bits of the MAC address, except clearing the second-least
significant bit. Thus, creating a burned-in address, globally
administered.
One can also supply a list of MAC addresses like
"FF:FF:FF:00:00:00 68:F7:28:00:00:00 00:0C:29:00:00:00 ..." in which
case a MAC address is choosen randomly.
To fully scamble the MAC address one can configure
"02:00:00:00:00:00 00:00:00:00:00:00 02:00:00:00:00:00".
which also randomly creates either a locally or globally administered
address.
With this, the following macchanger options can be implemented:
`macchanger --random`
This is the default if no mask is configured.
-> ""
while is the same as:
-> "00:00:00:00:00:00"
-> "02:00:00:00:00:00 02:00:00:00:00:00"
`macchanger --random --bia`
-> "02:00:00:00:00:00 00:00:00:00:00:00"
`macchanger --ending`
This option cannot be fully implemented, because macchanger
uses the current MAC address but also implies --bia.
-> "FF:FF:FF:00:00:00"
This would yields the same result only if the current MAC address
is already a burned-in address too. Otherwise, it has not the same
effect as --ending.
-> "FF:FF:FF:00:00:00 <MAC_ADDR>"
Alternatively, instead of using the current MAC address,
spell the OUI part out. But again, that is not really the
same as macchanger does because you explictly have to name
the OUI part to use.
`machanger --another`
`machanger --another_any`
-> "FF:FF:FF:00:00:00 <MAC_ADDR> <MAC_ADDR> ..."
"$(printf "FF:FF:FF:00:00:00 %s\n" "$(sed -n 's/^\([0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]\) \([0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]\) \([0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]\) .*/\1:\2:\3:00:00:00/p' /usr/share/macchanger/wireless.list | xargs)")"
Extend the "ethernet.cloned-mac-address" and "wifi.cloned-mac-address"
settings. Instead of specifying an explicit MAC address, the additional
special values "permanent", "preserve", "random", "random-bia", "stable" and
"stable-bia" are supported.
"permanent" means to use the permanent hardware address. Previously that
was the default if no explict cloned-mac-address was set. The default is
thus still "permanent", but it can be overwritten by global
configuration.
"preserve" means not to configure the MAC address when activating the
device. That was actually the default behavior before introducing MAC
address handling with commit 1b49f941a6.
"random" and "random-bia" use a randomized MAC address for each
connection. "stable" and "stable-bia" use a generated, stable
address based on some token. The "bia" suffix says to generate a
burned-in address. The stable method by default uses as token the
connection UUID, but the token can be explicitly choosen via
"stable:<TOKEN>" and "stable-bia:<TOKEN>".
On a D-Bus level, the "cloned-mac-address" is a bytestring and thus
cannot express the new forms. It is replaced by the new
"assigned-mac-address" field. For the GObject property, libnm's API,
nmcli, keyfile, etc. the old name "cloned-mac-address" is still used.
Deprecating the old field seems more complicated then just extending
the use of the existing "cloned-mac-address" field, although the name
doesn't match well with the extended meaning.
There is some overlap with the "wifi.mac-address-randomization" setting.

The Network_ID for generating RFC 7217 stable privacy IPv6 addresses
is by default the UUID of the connection.
Alternatively, prefer "connection.stable-id" as Network_ID to generate
the stable addresses. This allows to configure a set of connections that
all use the same Network_ID for generating stable addresses.
Note that the stable-id and the UUID do no overlap, that is two
connections
[connection]
uuid=uuid1
stable-id=
and
[connection]
uuid=uuid2
stable-id=uuid1
generate distinct addresses.
When a reverse DNS entry must be added to dnsmasq, instead of
considering IP addresses as classful use the prefix to compute one or
more "in-addr.arpa" according to CIDR rules.
