This setting allows the user to remove the local route rule that is
autogenerated for both IPv4 and IPv6. By default, NetworkManager won't
touch the local route rule.
A tentative IPv6 address can still fail DAD, so don't use it to
resolve the hostname via DNS. Furthermore, tentative addresses can't
be used to contact the nameserver and so the resolution will fail if
there is no other valid IPv6 address. Wait that the address becomes
non-tentative.
Currently the only way to return an error code from the daemon helper
is via the process exit code, but that is not enough to fully describe
an error from getaddrinfo(); in fact, the function returns a EAI_*
error code and when the value is EAI_SYSTEM, the error code is
returned in errno.
At the moment, any messages printed to stderr by the helper goes to NM
stderr; instead, we want to capture it and pass it through the logging
mechanism of NM, so that it can be filtered according to level and
domain.
Improve logging:
- log only when something changes
- print the new resolver state, instead of the old one
- rename state "in-progress" to "started"
- log when the resolver state is reset due to DNS changes
We already get the IAID from the dhclient environment. This is actually
rather useful, because dhclient plugin does not support setting the
value (that is, what we request in "config.v6.iaid" is not actually
used). Already previously, was the IAID for dhclient present in the
lease information. Now also normalize/verify it.
Expose the used IAID also with the internal (systemd) plugin. There we
explicitly set the IAID and know it.
Our lease is tracked in a plain string dictionary. For dhclient plugin
and similar, the keys are received via the environment, they are thus
unlimited. For the internal plugins they are known at compile time and
static strings. We thus sometimes need to clone the string, and
sometimes not.
Unfortunately, we cannot ask the GHashTable whether it has a free
function for the key, so we need to explicitly tell it. Add a parameter
for that.
There should be one function for parsing the string. Use it everywhere.
Also, because we will accept specifying the IAID as hex string so the
same parsing code should be used everywhere.
When a software device is deactivated, normally we schedule a idle
task to unrealize the device (delete_on_deactivate). However, if a new
activation is enqueued on the same device (and that implies that the
new profile is compatible with the device), then the idle task is not
scheduled and the device will normally transition to the different
states (disconnected, prepare, config, etc.).
For ovs-interfaces, we remove the db entry on disconnect and that
makes the link go away; however, we don't clear the hw_addr* fields of
the device struct.
When the new link appears, we try to set the new cloned MAC but the
stale hw_addr field indicates that it's already set. Avoid this
problem by updating the address as soon as the link appears.

- Only consider preferred context of "internet" type. There can be
multiple preferred contexts of multiple types, and we care about
"internet" type only.
- Don't check for "internet+mms" type. It turns out that "internet+mms"
isn't a thing in oFono, and is used to represent "internet" context
with MMSC in the lomiri-system-setting's UI only.

Trigger a dispatcher event when a connection is reapplied on a NM device.
Some devices such as phones have already a DHCP client running for accepting
connections when they are plugged into USB to transfer data over SSH.
When NetworkManager switches the connection IP method to shared,
it spawns a dnsmasq process to handle DHCP and DNS for that connection.
However, a dispatcher event is needed to disable the external DHCP server
for these USB connections as NetworkManager's dnsmasq handles them now.
Moreover, when the connection method is switched to a different mode,
the external DHCP server needs to be spawned again to make sure that
SSH connections are still possible to the device.
To achieve this, add a new NetworkManager Dispatcher event
'reapply' which is triggered when a connection is reapplied on a NM
device. This way, a dispatcher script can handle the case above by
inspecting the IP method in the dispatcher script.
The onlink flag is part of each next hop.
When NetworkManager configures ECMP routes, we won't support that. All
next hops of an ECMP route must share the same onlink flag. That is fine
and fixed by this commit.
What is not fine, is that we don't track the rtnh_flags flags in
NMPlatformIP4RtNextHop, and consequently our nmp_object_id_cmp() is
wrong.
Fixes: 5b5ce42682 ('nm-netns: track ECMP routes')
If the route with a next hop is already onlink, we don't need to add a
direct route to the gateway.
It also wouldn't work previously, because the onlink route to the
gateway that we would add, would have no gateway and the RTNH_F_ONLINK
set. Kernel would reject that with an error. We would have to clear the
RTNH_F_ONLINK flag, if there is no gateway.
The dns-type must be included in the hash because it contributes to
the generated composite configuration. Without this, when the type of
a configuration changes (e.g. from DEFAULT to BEST), the DNS manager
would determine that there was no change and it wouldn't call
update_dns().

Kernel enforces that all nexthops must be reachable through a route.
L3Cfg is generating dependent onlink routes to solve this problem but
the IPv4 ECMP commit is happening before that.
To solve this we introduce two boolean fields "is_new" and "is_ready" to
know in which state is the L3Cfg affected. Initially, "is_new" is TRUE
and "is_ready" is FALSE. Here we schedule a commit on idle and we set
"is_new" to FALSE. When revisiting, we set "is_ready" to TRUE and then
we set the ECMP IPv4 routes.
When a reapply kicks in we reset the L3Cfg state by setting "is_new" to
TRUE.

g_random_*() is based on GRand, which is not a CSPRNG. Instead, rely on
kernel to give us good random numbers, which is what nm_random_*() does.
Note that nm_random_*() calls getrandom() (or reads /dev/urandom), which
most likely is slower than GRand. It doesn't matter for our uses though.
It is cumbersome to review all uses of g_rand_*() whether their usage of
a non-cryptographically secure generator is appropriate. Instead, just
always use an appropriate function, thereby avoiding this question. Even
glib documentation refers to reading "/dev/urandom" as alternative. Which
is what nm_random_*() does. These days, it seems unnecessary to not use
the best random generator available, unless it's not fast enough or you
need a stable/seedable stream of random numbers.
In particular in nmcli, we used g_random_int_range() to generate
passwords. That is not appropriate. Sure, it's *only* for the hotspot,
but still.
Certain ip-tunnel modules automatically create network interfaces (for
example, "ip_gre" module creates "gre0" and others).
Btw, that's not the same as `modprobe bonding max_bonds=1`, where
loading the module merely automatically creates a "bond0" interface. In
case of ip tunnel modules, these generated interfaces seem essential to
how the tunnel works, for example they cannot be deleted. I don't
understand the purpose of those interfaces, but they seem not just
regular tunnel interfaces (unlike, "bond0" which is a regular bond
interface, albeit automatically created).
Btw, if at the time when loading the module, an interface with such name
already exists, it will bump the name (for example, adding a "gre1"
interfaces, and so on). That adds to the ugliness of the whole thing,
but for our unit tests, that is no problem. Our unit tests run in a
separate netns, and we don't create conflicting interfaces. That is, an
interface named "gre0" is always the special tunnel interface and we
can/do rely on that.
Note that when the kernel module gets loaded, it adds those interfaces
to all netns. Thus, even if "test-route-linux" does not do anything with
ip tunnels, such an interface can always appear in a netns, simply by
running "test-link-linux" (or any other tool that creates a tunnel) in
parallel or even in another container.
Theoretically, we could just ensure that we load all the conflicting
ip-tunnel modules (with nmtstp_ensure_module()). There there are two
problems. First, there might be other tunnel modules that interfere but
are not covered by nmtstp_ensure_module(). Second, when kernel creates
those interfaces, it does not send correct RTM_NEWLINK notifications (a
bug), so our platform cache will not be correct, and
nmtstp_assert_platform() will fail.
The only solution is to detect and ignore those interfaces. Also,
ignore all interfaces of link-type "unknown". Those might be from other
modules that we don't know about and that exhibit the same problem.
Ubuntu 18.04 comes with iproute2-4.15.0-2ubuntu1.3. The
"/etc/iproute2/rt_protos" file from that version does not yet support
the "bgp" entry. Also the "babel" entry is only from 2014. Just choose
other entries. The point is that NetworkManager would ignore those, and
that applies to "zebra" and "bird" alike.
This will make sure that the IP tunnel module is loaded. It does so by
creating (and deleting) a tunnel interface.
That is important, because those modules will create additional interfaces
that show up in `ip link` (like "gre0"), and those interfaces can interfere
with the tests.
Also add nmtstp_link_is_iptunnel_special() to detect whether an
interface is one of those special interfaces.
Seems this test fails easily under gitlab-ci, if we set NMTST_SEED_RAND
to something else than "0". There is nothing particular special about
"0", except that a randomly different code paths are chosen.
A randomized test that doesn't pass on all systems with all random
paths, is broken. Disable for now. Needs to be fixed.

We must trust l3cfg when generating dependent onlink routes for all kind
of routes not default routes only. This was done by
"nm_platform_ip_route_sync()" so there is not change in behaviour at
all.
"nm_platform_ip_route_sync()" could be needed for other situation where
l3cfg cannot add the dependent onlink routes, so we are not removing
that logic.
This reverts commit 6b4123db1c.
Currently, the use of [global-dns] section for setting DNS options is
conditioned on presence of a nameserver in a [global-dns-domain-*] section.
Attempt to use the section for options alone results in an error:
[global-dns]
options=timeout:1
Or via D-Bus API:
# busctl set-property org.freedesktop.NetworkManager \
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager \
GlobalDnsConfiguration 'a{sv}' 2 \
"options" as 1 "timeout:1" \
"domains" a{sv} 0
...

manager: set global DNS failed with error: Global
DNS configuration is missing the default domain
The insistence on existence of [global-dns-domain-*] would make sense if
other [global-dns-domain-...] sections were present.
However, the user might only want to set the options in resolv.conf and
still use connection-provide nameservers for the actual resolving.
Lift the limitation by allowing the [global-dns] to be used alone, while
still insist on [global-dns-domain-*] being there in presence of other
domain-specific options.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2019306
This effectively makes [*global-dns-domain-*] sections in configuration be
ignored unless [*global-dns] is also present. This happens because
nm_config_keyfile_has_global_dns_config() mixes the group names up and
attempts to loop up [.intern.global-dns-domain-*] in user configuration and
[global-dns-domain-*] in the internal one.
Fixes: da0ded4927 ('config: drop global-dns.enable option in favor of .config.enable')
It is possible that an ra leads to two routes having
the same prefix as well as the same prefix length.
One of them, however, refers to the on-link prefix,
and the other one to a route from the route information field.
(Moreover, they might have different route preferences.)
Hence, if both routes differ in the on-link property,
both are added, and the route from the route information
option receives a metric penalty.
Fixed#1163.
