NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MAX_MSEC is the maximum timeout for how long any
async operation may take. The idea is that during shutdown of NetworkManager
we give that much time to tear down. Then async operations may either implement
cancellation or not bother with that. But in any case, they must complete within
NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MAX_MSEC.
Actually, for the time being, this has no effect at all. I am talking about the
future here. See "Improve Shutdown of NetworkManager" in TODO. This patch
is preparation for that effort.
Anyway. Stopping pppd can take a longer time (5 seconds). That is
currently the (known) longest time how long any of our async operations
is allowed to take.
As all async operations must complete before NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MAX_MSEC,
and we want to wait at least 5 seconds for pppd, we need to increase the
wait time NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MAX_MSEC.
Also add and use NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_5000_MSEC, which serves a similar
purpose as NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_1500_MSEC.
When you have an async operation, you must make sure that
it is cancellable or completes in at most NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MAX_MSEC.
But NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MAX_MSEC leaves it undefined how long it is.
If you really want to wait for 1500msec, but also need to ensure
to stay within NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MAX_MSEC, then use
NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_1500_MSEC. This has the semantic of guaranteeing
both.
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.
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)

Completely rework IP configuration in the daemon. Use NML3Cfg as layer 3
manager for the IP configuration of an interface. Use NML3ConfigData as
pieces of configuration that the various components collect and
configure. NMDevice is managing most of the IP configuration at a higher
level, that is, it starts DHCP and other IP methods. Rework the state
handling there.
This is a huge rework of how NetworkManager daemon handles IP
configuration. Some fallout is to be expected.
It appears the patch deletes many lines of code. That is not accurate, because
you also have to count the files `src/core/nm-l3*`, which were unused previously.

We no longer use tc objects from the platform cache; disable caching
by default.
The only exception where the cache is needed is in tc tests, as we
look into the platform there to check that objects look as expected.
Previously, NMUtilsShareRules basically was tracking a list of command
line arguments, and during apply(), it would spawn the (iptables)
processes.
But in practice, this list was always pre-determined by a few
parameters, the interface name and the subnet. Instead of keeping the
list of arguments, only keep those few parameters. And generate the list
of arguments only for the short time when we need them.
The difference is that we will want to support nftables too. Later,
we can just generate a different list of commands, but there is no
need to keep this list around.
In core, NMPlatform is (also) a singleton instance. As we will move platform code
to libnm-platform, this singleton part makes no sense there. Move the code
to NetworkManagerUtils.c.
Currently "src/" mostly contains the source code of the daemon.
I say mostly, because that is not true, there are also the device,
settings, wwan, ppp plugins, the initrd generator, the pppd and dhcp
helper, and probably more.
Also we have source code under libnm-core/, libnm/, clients/, and
shared/ directories. That is all confusing.
We should have one "src" directory, that contains subdirectories. Those
subdirectories should contain individual parts (libraries or
applications), that possibly have dependencies on other subdirectories.
There should be a flat hierarchy of directories under src/, which
contains individual modules.
As the name "src/" is already taken, that prevents any sensible
restructuring of the code.
As a first step, move "src/" to "src/core/". This gives space to
reorganize the code better by moving individual components into "src/".
For inspiration, look at systemd's "src/" directory.
