The removed signal did not log the interface name.
That's because _LOG3D() takes the ifindex and looks into the platform
cache to find the interface name. However, if the link is already
removed, it won't find it.
Fix that by explicitly using the right name.
Before:
<debug> [1660070838.2976] platform: signal: link removed: 602: testX6 <DOWN;broadcast,multicast> mtu 1500
Now:
<debug> [1660070838.2976] platform: (testX6) signal: link removed: 602: testX6 <DOWN;broadcast,multicast> mtu 1500
- drop unused "keep_deleted" parameter. It just doesn't make sense.
Even less sense than for rules/routes, where this was taken from.
- fix nmp_global_tracker_sync_mptcp_addrs() to delete addresses
with conflicting flags. We did not correctly delete existing
addresses, that were to be reconfigured with different flags.
Fixes: 5374c403d2 ('platfrom: handle MPTCP addresses with NMPGlobalTracker')
This affects parsing global connection defaults from
"NetworkManager.conf".
Let's use a zero base for strtoll(), which honors the prefixes
"0x" and "0" to use hex and octal numbers, respectively. Otherwise
it uses decimal (base 10).
This causes very little ambiguity, but it makes certain numbers
just work.
Also, we have flags properties, where it makes much more sense
to write them in hex, like `connection.mptcp-flags=0x52`.
When we configure MPTCP addresses, we usually do so per interface
(ifindex). That is, because each interface (via NMDevice and NML3Cfg)
decides how to configure MPTCP, and then we always add MTCP addresses
for this certain ifindex.
With that, we could have a purely interface-specific view and not a
global sync method. However, there are two problems:
The minor problem is that we don't cache the endpoints (because we don't
get notifications). We can only get a dump of all endpoints. It seems
odd to have a mptcp-addr-sync method that is per-ifindex, when it needs
to dump all addresses.
The much more important reason is that the number of endpoints that we
can configure in kernel is very limited. So we need to make a choice
which endpoints to configure, and for that we need to holistic view that
NMPGlobalTracker has.
Since the generic netlink API does (currently) not support notifications
about changes of the MPTCP addresses, we won't get notifications when
they change, and it seems wrong to put such things in the NMPlatform
cache.
We can just get the list of endpoints by polling, so add a function
nm_platform_mptcp_addrs_dump() for that.
Also, add nm_platform_mptcp_addr_update() which can add/remove/update
MPTCP addresses.
We already have two hash functions for MPTCP addresses:
nmp_object_id_hash*() which compares the identity of objects
and nm_platform_mptcp_addr_hash*(), which compares all fields.
There is also a need to hash only the address. Add it. Will be used
next.
The ID of an object does not entail all properties/attributes.
During sync, if we already have an object with the same ID configured,
it may still differ in other aspects.
Handle those cases, by deleting such routes/rules before adding the
desired object.
Since we don't get netlink notifications when the MPTCP endpoints
change, we don't cache them. And since we don't cache them,
there is less need to mark whether they were received from kernel
or created internally.
It's not very clear what the best identity is.
For example, in kernel you cannot add two MPTCP addresses that only differ by
ifindex. Thus (as far as kernel is concerned), the ifindex is not part of the
identity. Still, as we will have an interface centric view, this will be
useful for us.
On the other hand, to kernel is the "id" a second primary key, along
side "addr:port". However, to us it's not useful to consider that as
part of nmp_object_id_equal(), because usually kernel will pick an "id"
for us, and when we track objects that we are about to add, they don't
have an "id" yet.
So, adjust nmp_object_id_equal(). However -- somewhat unusual -- let it
deviate from kernel's understanding of what defines an MPTCP address.
For enum type properties, we support to specify a list of
aliases.
- the getter uses a separate list from the setter. The idea
is that some of these aliases are only for showing, but not
for setting. Add a special marker GOBJECT_ENUM_VALUE_INFOS_GET_FROM_SETTER
which indicates that the value information from the setter
should also be used by the getter.
- extend _values_fcn_gobject_enum() to also return the nicks from
the setter for bash completion. After all, they can be set too.
When only one of those connection.{lldp,mdns,llmnr,dns-over-tls}
settings changes, we still need to do a full restart of the IP
configuration to reapply the changes.

CentOS 7's headers don't yet contains IFLA_BOND_PEER_NOTIF_DELAY.
Define it ourselves.

Leave a hint about core-dumps.
Also, now we have `contrib/fedora/rpm/configure-for-system.sh` script,
which can configure the build in a way similar to what we get
when doing an RPM build.
That means, inside "contrib/scripts/nm-in-container.sh" we
can just type `make install`, and it will replace the pre-installed
NetworkManager.
The main advantage is that it becomes convenient to run NetworkManager
as a systemd service. Previously, the suggested was to to install
NetworkManager inside another prefix, and run it in the terminal.
Running NetworkManager as systemd service is also necessary for NM-ci,
which restarts the NetworkManager service, and you couldn't run a test,
if you just started NetworkManager in a terminal.
Previously, you had to build a complete RPM, which takes a lot of time.
Yes, it's a large dependency. But on your outer host you
probably configured NetworkManager with QT enabled (for the
example scripts). We want to compile the same work tree inside
the container. So install qt-devel.
This will use the same option as when we do an RPM build.
The purpose is that you could type `make install` with such
a build, and it would replace the files that you'd get by installing
the NetworkManager RPMs.
Of course, you would not want to do that on your work station, but it
will be useful in a container, where we don't mind messing up the
installation.
autotools accepts both --with-$OPTION/--without-$OPTION and
--with-$OPTION=yes|no. Consistently use the latter.
The advantage is that whether it's enabled becomes an argument, so in a
script you could do
"--with-$OPTION=$VALUE"
Same for enable/disable option.
_host_id_read() is the only place where we really care to have good
random numbers, because that is the secret key that we persist to disk.
Previously, we tried only nm_random_get_bytes_full(), which is a best
effort to get strong random numbers. If it fails to generate those,
it would simply remember the generated key in memory and proceed, but not
persist it to disk.
nm_random_get_bytes_full() does not block waiting for good numbers.
Change that. Now, first call nm_random_get_crypto_bytes(), which would
block and try hard to get good random numbers. Only if that fails,
fallback to nm_random_get_bytes_full() as before. The difference is of
course only in early boot, when we might not yet have entropy. In that
case, I think it's better for NetworkManager to block.
Heavily inspired by systemd ([1]).
We now also have nm_random_get_bytes{,_full}() and
nm_random_get_crypto_bytes(), like systemd's random_bytes()
and crypto_random_bytes(), respectively.
Differences:
- instead of systemd's random_bytes(), our nm_random_get_bytes_full()
also estimates whether the output is of high quality. The caller
may find that interesting. Due to that, we will first try to call
getrandom(GRND_NONBLOCK) before getrandom(GRND_INSECURE). That is
reversed from systemd's random_bytes(), because we want to find
out whether we can get good random numbers. In most cases, kernel
should have entropy already, and it makes no difference.
Otherwise, heavily rework the code. It should be easy to understand
and correct.
There is also a major bugfix here. Previously, if getrandom() failed
with ENOSYS and we fell back to /dev/urandom, we would assume that we
have high quality random numbers. That assumption is not warranted.
Now instead poll on /dev/random to find out.

sysfs is deprecated and kernel people will not add new bond options to
sysfs. Netlink is a stable API and therefore is the right method to
communicate with kernel in order to set the link options.
