In several cases, connection uuids are generated based on
some strings. Change the algorithm, to prefix the hashed
identifier differently for each setting type. This makes
collisions very unlikely.
Also, change the algorithm, to create proper Variant3 UUIDs.
This is a behavioral change, but it only affects code places
that were added since nm-0-9-10 and were not yet part of
a stable release.
There are different types (variants) of UUIDs defined.
Especially variants 3 and 5 are name based variants (rfc4122).
The way we create our UUIDs in nm_utils_uuid_generate_from_string()
however does not create them according to RFC and does not set
the flags to indicate the variant.
Modify the signature of nm_utils_uuid_generate_from_string() to accept
a "uuid_type" argument, so that we later can add other algorithms without
breaking API.
config.h should be included from every .c file, and it should be
included before any other include. Fix that.
(As a side effect of how I did this, this also changes us to
consistently use "config.h" rather than <config.h>. To the extent that
it matters [which is not much], quotes are more correct anyway, since
we're talking about a file in our own build tree, not a system
include.)
The gateway is a global property of the IPv4/IPv6 configuration, not
an attribute of any particular address. So represent it as such in the
API; remove the gateway from NMIPAddress, and add it to
NMSettingIPConfig.
Behind the scenes, the gateway is still serialized along with the
first address in NMSettingIPConfig:addresses, and is deserialized from
that if the settings dictionary doesn't contain a 'gateway' key.
Adjust nmcli's interactive mode to prompt for IP addresses and gateway
separately. (Patch partly from Jirka Klimeš.)
Split a base NMSettingIPConfig class out of NMSettingIP4Config and
NMSettingIP6Config, and update things accordingly.
Further simplifications of now-redundant IPv4-vs-IPv6 code are
possible, and should happen in the future.
Merge NMIP4Address and NMIP6Address into NMIPAddress, and NMIP4Route
and NMIP6Route into NMIPRoute. The new types represent IP addresses as
strings, rather than in binary, and so are address-family agnostic.
Add nm-core-types.h, typedefing all of the GObject types in
libnm-core; this is needed so that nm-setting.h can reference
NMConnection in addition to nm-connection.h referencing NMSetting.
Removing the cross-includes from the various headers causes lots of
fallout elsewhere. (In particular, nm-utils.h used to include
nm-connection.h, which included every setting header, so any file that
included nm-utils.h automatically got most of the rest of libnm-core
without needing to pay attention to specifics.) Fix this up by
including nm-core-internal.h from those files that are now missing
includes.
Each plugin defined its own error domain, though none actually defined
any errors. Replace these with appropriate uses of
NM_SETTINGS_ERROR_INVALID_CONNECTION and NM_SETTINGS_ERROR_FAILED.
Make the :addresses and :routes properties be GPtrArrays of
NMIP4Address, etc, rather than just reflecting the D-Bus data.
Make the :dns properties be arrays of strings rather than arrays of
binary IP addresses (and update the corresponding APIs as well).
Make all mac-address properties (including NMSettingBluetooth:bdaddr,
NMSettingOlpcMesh:dhcp-anycast-addr, and NMSettingWireless:bssid) be
strings, using _nm_setting_class_transform_property() to handle
translating to/from binary form when dealing with D-Bus.
Update everything accordingly for the change, and also add a test for
transformed setting properties to test-general.
Instead of handling iBFT (iSCSI Boot Firmware Table) in the ifcfg-rh plugin,
create a new plugin for it. This allows all distributions to use iBFT
configuration, and makes both iBFT handling and ifcfg-rh less complicated.
The plugin (like the old ifcfg-rh code) creates read-only connections backed
by the data exported by iscsiadm. The plugin does not support adding new
connections or modifying existing connections (since the iBFT data is
read-only anyway). Instead, users should change their iBFT data through
the normal firmware interfaces.
Unmanaged devices can be configured through NetworkManager.conf and the
normal 'keyfile' mechanisms.
(In the future, we'll read this data directly from the kernel's
/sys/firmware/ibft/ethernetX directory instead of iscsiadm, since the
kernel has all the information we need and that's where iscsiadm gets
it from anyway.)
