Option to check just in NM private dhcp client specific lease files has
been dropped: either get DUID from specific DHCP plugin or just use the
provided one.
This reverts commit f054c3fcaa.
(cherry picked from commit 08116409f3)
When the used client is dhclient we were used to search for DUID not
only in the specific lease files generated by NetworkManager, but also
in the global lease file generated outside NetworkManager.
Keep this capability but allow to just search in the NM lease files if
a value different from the default one is specified in dhcp-duid.
This commit centralizes the DUID generation in nm-device.c.
As a consequence, a DUID is always provided when starting a
DHCPv6 client. The DHCP client can override the passed DUID
with the value contained in the client-specific lease file.
allow to specify the DUID to be used int the DHCPv6 client identifier
option: the dhcp-duid property accepts either a hex string or the
special values "lease", "llt", "ll", "stable-llt", "stable-ll" and
"stable-uuid".
"lease": give priority to the DUID available in the lease file if any,
otherwise fallback to a global default dependant on the dhcp
client used. This is the default and reflects how the DUID
was managed previously.
"ll": enforce generation and use of LL type DUID based on the current
hardware address.
"llt": enforce generation and use of LLT type DUID based on the current
hardware address and a stable time field.
"stable-ll": enforce generation and use of LL type DUID based on a
link layer address derived from the stable id.
"stable-llt": enforce generation and use of LLT type DUID based on
a link layer address and a timestamp both derived from the
stable id.
"stable-uuid": enforce generation and use of a UUID type DUID based on a
uuid generated from the stable id.
We will soon introduce a property to set a custom DUID and we want
to enforce that the provided value is used.
Note that this commit does not cause any change in behavior in current
code.
The nm_dhcp_dhclient_save_duid() function will save a newly generated
DUID to a previously existing lease file. The function will only save
the DUID if not present in the lease file: in this case, should preserve
the other contents of the lease file.
A dhclient lease file for IPv6 generated by NetworkManager will always
add the DUID as a first item: so in practice finding a lease file
without DUID will never happen.
This has hidden a bug in the function: the loop that is meant to append
the non-duid lines in the lease file would strip all the newlines,
mangling the lease file.
Fix the function allowing to keep the original lines and add a test to
check this functionality is kept well functioning.
FIXME: the new test and the other duid ones already there store the file
in the current working-directory. Tests should not do that.
Use two common defines NM_BUILD_SRCDIR and NM_BUILD_BUILDDIR
for specifying the location of srcdir and builddir.
Note that this is only relevant for tests, as they expect
a certain layout of the directories, to find files that concern
them.

Thanks to the marvelous effort of the GNU compiler developer we can now
spare a couple of bits that could be used for more important things,
like this commit message. Standards commitees yet have to catch up.
Requesting broadcast replies from the DHCP server can be problematic in
filtered environments like some wireless networks. Don't override the
default of using unicast. This matches the behaviour of the external DHCP
clients.
https://github.com/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/pull/93
There are multiple tests with the same in different directories; add a
unique prefix to test names so that it is clear from the output which
one is running.
It probably was no problem in practice, because very likely the
chunk of memory was aligned already.
Also, drop non helpful comment and fix whitespace.
The documentation for the ipv4.dhcp-client-id property says:
If the property is not a hex string it is considered as a
non-hardware-address client ID and the 'type' field is set to 0.
However, currently we set the client-id without the leading zero byte
in the dhclient configuration and thus dhclient sends the first string
character as type and the remainder as client-id content. Looking
through git history, the dhclient plugin has always behaved this way
even if the intent was clearly that string client-id had to be zero
padded (this is evident by looking at
nm_dhcp_utils_client_id_string_to_bytes()). The internal plugin
instead sends the correct client-id with zero type.
Change the dhclient plugin to honor the documented behavior and add
the leading zero byte when the client-id is a string.
This commit introduces a change in behavior for users that have
dhcp=dhclient and have a plain string (not hexadecimal) set in
ipv4.dhcp-client-id, as NM will send a different client-id possibly
changing the IP address returned by the server.

Previously, we used the generated GDBusInterfaceSkeleton types and glued
them via the NMExportedObject base class to our NM types. We also used
GDBusObjectManagerServer.
Don't do that anymore. The resulting code was more complicated despite (or
because?) using generated classes. It was hard to understand, complex, had
ordering-issues, and had a runtime and memory overhead.
This patch refactors this entirely and uses the lower layer API GDBusConnection
directly. It replaces the generated code, GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, and
GDBusObjectManagerServer. All this is now done by NMDbusObject and NMDBusManager
and static descriptor instances of type GDBusInterfaceInfo.
This adds a net plus of more then 1300 lines of hand written code. I claim
that this implementation is easier to understand. Note that previously we
also required extensive and complex glue code to bind our objects to the
generated skeleton objects. Instead, now glue our objects directly to
GDBusConnection. The result is more immediate and gets rid of layers of
code in between.
Now that the D-Bus glue us more under our control, we can address issus and
bottlenecks better, instead of adding code to bend the generated skeletons
to our needs.
Note that the current implementation now only supports one D-Bus connection.
That was effectively the case already, although there were places (and still are)
where the code pretends it could also support connections from a private socket.
We dropped private socket support mainly because it was unused, untested and
buggy, but also because GDBusObjectManagerServer could not export the same
objects on multiple connections. Now, it would be rather straight forward to
fix that and re-introduce ObjectManager on each private connection. But this
commit doesn't do that yet, and the new code intentionally supports only one
D-Bus connection.
Also, the D-Bus startup was simplified. There is no retry, either nm_dbus_manager_start()
succeeds, or it detects the initrd case. In the initrd case, bus manager never tries to
connect to D-Bus. Since the initrd scenario is not yet used/tested, this is good enough
for the moment. It could be easily extended later, for example with polling whether the
system bus appears (like was done previously). Also, restart of D-Bus daemon isn't
supported either -- just like before.
Note how NMDBusManager now implements the ObjectManager D-Bus interface
directly.
Also, this fixes race issues in the server, by no longer delaying
PropertiesChanged signals. NMExportedObject would collect changed
properties and send the signal out in idle_emit_properties_changed()
on idle. This messes up the ordering of change events w.r.t. other
signals and events on the bus. Note that not only NMExportedObject
messed up the ordering. Also the generated code would hook into
notify() and process change events in and idle handle, exhibiting the
same ordering issue too.
No longer do that. PropertiesChanged signals will be sent right away
by hooking into dispatch_properties_changed(). This means, changing
a property in quick succession will no longer be combined and is
guaranteed to emit signals for each individual state. Quite possibly
we emit now more PropertiesChanged signals then before.
However, we are now able to group a set of changes by using standard
g_object_freeze_notify()/g_object_thaw_notify(). We probably should
make more use of that.
Also, now that our signals are all handled in the right order, we
might find places where we still emit them in the wrong order. But that
is then due to the order in which our GObjects emit signals, not due
to an ill behavior of the D-Bus glue. Possibly we need to identify
such ordering issues and fix them.
Numbers (for contrib/rpm --without debug on x86_64):
- the patch changes the code size of NetworkManager by
- 2809360 bytes
+ 2537528 bytes (-9.7%)
- Runtime measurements are harder because there is a large variance
during testing. In other words, the numbers are not reproducible.
Currently, the implementation performs no caching of GVariants at all,
but it would be rather simple to add it, if that turns out to be
useful.
Anyway, without strong claim, it seems that the new form tends to
perform slightly better. That would be no surprise.
$ time (for i in {1..1000}; do nmcli >/dev/null || break; echo -n .; done)

- Regarding RSS size, just looking at the processes in similar
conditions, doesn't give a large difference. On my system they
consume about 19MB RSS. It seems that the new version has a
slightly smaller RSS size.

The next commit will completely rework NMBusManager and replace
NMExportedObject by a new type NMDBusObject.
Originally, NMDBusObject was added along NMExportedObject to ease
the rework and have compilable, intermediate stages of refactoring. Now,
I think the new name is better, because NMDBusObject is very strongly related
to the bus manager and the old name NMExportedObject didn't make that
clear.
I also slighly prefer the name NMDBusObject over NMBusObject, hence
for consistancy, also rename NMBusManager to NMDBusManager.
This commit only renames the file for a nicer diff in the next commit.
It does not actually update the type name in sources. That will be done
later.
Convert the string representation of ipv4.dhcp-client-id property already in
NMDevice to a GBytes. Next, we will support more client ID modes, and we
will need the NMDevice context to generate the client id.
GByteArray is a mutable array of bytes. For every practical purpose, the hwaddr
property of NMDhcpClient is an immutable sequence of bytes. Thus, make it a
GBytes.
The two boolean properties do not need to be ever reset. It's nice
to initialize such properties in the constructor and don't mutate
them afterwards.
Instead of adding two boolean GObject properties, add a new flags property
that can encode these two values. In the end, properties are too
cumbersome, let's combine them.
Optimally, NMDhcpClient would be stateless and all paramters would
be passed on as argument. Clearly that is not feasable, because there
are so many paramters, and in many cases they need to be cached for the
lifetime of the client instance.
Instead of passing info_only paramter to ip6_start() and cache it
both in NMDhcpClient and NMDhcpSystemd, keep it in NMDhcpClient at
one place.
In the next commit, we will initialize info-only only once during the
constructor, so it is immutable and somewhat stateless.
The parent's stop() implementation does nothing interesting
for NMDhcpSystem. Still, call it, it's just unexpected to
not chain up the parent implementation, if all other subclasses
do it.
In general, if the parent's implementation is not suitable to be called
by the derived class, that should be handled differently then just not
chaining up. Otherwise it's inconsistent and confusing.
We commonly only allow tabs at the beginning of a line, not
afterwards. The reason for this style is so that the code
looks formated right with tabstop=4 and tabstop=8.
I think we should avoid non-trailing tabs in source code.
Allowing unescaped tab characters in string literals, adds
noise when searching the code for non-trailing tabs.
Also, depending on the editor configuration, it might be
non-obvious that tabs are used. And while I dislike tabs in general,
I think they are especially bad, when they have actual meaning
in code.
We also unconditionally use them with autotools.
Also, the detection for have_version_script does
not seem correct to me. At least, it didn't work
with clang.
Some targets are missing dependencies on some generated sources in
the meson port. These makes the build to fail due to missing source
files on a highly parallelized build.
These dependencies have been resolved by taking advantage of meson's
internal dependencies which can be used to pass source files,
include directories, libraries and compiler flags.
One of such internal dependencies called `core_dep` was already in
use. However, in order to avoid any confusion with another new
internal dependency called `nm_core_dep`, which is used to include
directories and source files from the `libnm-core` directory, the
`core_dep` dependency has been renamed to `nm_dep`.
These changes have allowed minimizing the build details which are
inherited by using those dependencies. The parallelized build has
also been improved.
Tests are commonly created via copy&paste. Hence, it's
better to express a certain concept explicitly via a function
or macro. This way, the implementation of the concept can be
adjusted at one place, without requiring to change all the callers.
Also, the macro is shorter, and brevity is better for tests
so it's easier to understand what the test does. Without being
bothered by noise from the redundant information.
Also, the macro knows better which message to expect. For example,
messages inside "src" are prepended by nm-logging.c with a level
and a timestamp. The expect macro is aware of that and tests for it
#define NMTST_EXPECT_NM_ERROR(msg) NMTST_EXPECT_NM (G_LOG_LEVEL_MESSAGE, "*<error> [*] "msg)
This again allows the caller to ignore this prefix, but still assert
more strictly.
Note that:
- we compile some source files multiple times. Most notably those
under "shared/".
- we include a default header "shared/nm-default.h" in every source
file. This header is supposed to setup a common environment by defining
and including parts that are commonly used. As we always include the
same header, the header must behave differently depending
one whether the compilation is for libnm-core, NetworkManager or
libnm-glib. E.g. it must include <glib/gi18n.h> or <glib/gi18n-lib.h>
depending on whether we compile a library or an application.
For that, the source files need the NETWORKMANAGER_COMPILATION #define
to behave accordingly.
Extend the define to be composed of flags. These flags are all named
NM_NETWORKMANAGER_COMPILATION_WITH_*, they indicate which part of the
build are available. E.g. when building libnm-core.la itself, then
WITH_LIBNM_CORE, WITH_LIBNM_CORE_INTERNAL, and WITH_LIBNM_CORE_PRIVATE
are available. When building NetworkManager, WITH_LIBNM_CORE_PRIVATE
is not available but the internal parts are still accessible. When
building nmcli, only WITH_LIBNM_CORE (the public part) is available.
This granularily controls the build.
The internal client asserts that the length of the client ID is not more
than MAX_CLIENT_ID_LEN. Avoid that assert by truncating the string.
Also add new nm_dhcp_client_set_client_id_*() setters, that either
set the ID based on a string (in our common dhclient specific
format), or based on the binary data (as obtained from systemd client).
Also, add checks and assertions that the client ID which is
set via nm_dhcp_client_set_client_id() is always of length
of at least 2 (as required by rfc2132, section-9.14).
