Several macros are used to define function. They had a "_STATIC" variant,
to define the function as static.
I think those macros should not try to abstract entirely what they do.
They should not accept the function scope as argument (or have two
variants per scope). This also because it might make sense to add
additional __attribute__(()) to the function. That only works, if
the macro does not pretend to *not* define a plain function.
Instead, embrace what the function does and let the users place the
function scope as they see fit.
This also follows what is already done with
static NM_CACHED_QUARK_FCN ("autoconnect-root", autoconnect_root_quark)
We no longer add these. If you use Emacs, configure it yourself.
Also, due to our "smart-tab" usage the editor anyway does a subpar
job handling our tabs. However, on the upside every user can choose
whatever tab-width he/she prefers. If "smart-tabs" are used properly
(like we do), every tab-width will work.
No manual changes, just ran commands:
F=($(git grep -l -e '-\*-'))
sed '1 { /\/\* *-\*- *[mM]ode.*\*\/$/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
sed '1,4 { /^\(#\|--\|dnl\) *-\*- [mM]ode/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
Check remaining lines with:
git grep -e '-\*-'
The ultimate purpose of this is to cleanup our files and eventually use
SPDX license identifiers. For that, first get rid of the boilerplate lines.
NMPNetns instances are immutable, hence they can be easily shared
between threads. All we need, is that the stack of namespaces is
thread-local.
Also note that NMPNetns uses almost no other API, except some bits from
"shared/nm-utils/" and nm-logging. These parts are already supposed to
be thread-safe.
The only complications is that when the thread exits, we need to
destroy the NMPNetns instances. That is especially important because
they hold file descriptors. This is accomplished using pthread's
thread-specific data. An alternative would be C11 threads' tss_create(),
but not all systems that we run against support that yet. This means,
we need to link with pthreads, but we already do that anyway.
Note that glib also requires pthreads. So, we don't get an additional
dependency here.
NM_FLAGS_HAS() uses a static-assert that the second argument is a
single flag (power of two). With a single flag, NM_FLAGS_HAS(),
NM_FLAGS_ANY() and NM_FLAGS_ALL() are all identical.
The second argument must be a compile time constant, and if that is
not the case, one must not use NM_FLAGS_HAS().
Use NM_FLAGS_ANY() in these cases.
Previously, the push/pop API to switch between namespaces would always
switch both the net and mount namespace together.
There are situations, where we want to only switch one namespace.
For example, the function nmp_netns_bind_to_path() introduced next
only wants to switch the net namespace to get /proc/self/ns/net,
but must not switch the mount namespace as it bind-mounds in the
namespace of the caller.
GError is not used, the error branch would always result in NULL dereference.
Also, check for the result being zero for clarity -- it's the only allowed
success indication.
CID 75365 (#3 of 3): Explicit null dereferenced (FORWARD_NULL)
12. var_deref_op: Dereferencing null pointer error.
Add a new NMPNetns class. This allows creation, deletion and
switching of network namespaces. The API only offers push/pop
operations to switch the namespace. This way the API enforces
the user to always restore the previous namespace.
A NMPlatform instance not only uses the netlink socket, but also
sysfs, udev, ethtool, mii. Still, a NMPlatform instance lives
entirely inside one namespace and is not spanning multiple namespaces.
To properly support network namespaces, the platform instance must
switch the namespace as necessary, transparent to the caller.
Udev is only supported in the main namespace.
For now, network namespaces are not actually used and are disabled
via the NM_PLATFORM_NETNS_SUPPORT argument.
