0870906540 device: sanitze UTF-8 values for D-Bus
ip link add name $'d\xccf\\c' type dummy

Use nm_utils_str_utf8safe_escape() to sanitize non UTF-8 sequences
before exposing them on D-Bus. The operation can be reverted client
side via nm_utils_str_utf8safe_unescape() or simply g_strcompress().

Note that this preserves all valid UTF-8 sequences as-is, with exception
of the backslash escape character and ASCII control characters. Thus, this
is a change in behavior for strings that contain such characters.

Note that nmcli is not changed to somehow unescape the string before
printing. As the string is not valid UTF-8 (or contains ASCII characters
that need escaping), they are not printable as-is, so unescaping before
printing makes little sense.

a21b8882cc device: update external configuration before commit
If the platform signaled that the external configuration changed (and
thus update_ipX_config() is scheduled) and we are doing a commit of
the new configuration, update priv->ext_ipX_config. Without this, the
commit will remove addresses added externally but not yet captured in
the external configuration.

9f874d166d device: fix delaying startup complete waiting for carrier
platform: signal: link changed: 2: eth0 <DOWN;broadcast,multicast> mtu ...
    ...
    device[0x7f90c29c64d0] (eth0): bringing up device
    ...

    ...
    device (eth0): link connected
    ...
    device[0x7f90c29c64d0] (eth0): add_pending_action (2): 'carrier wait'

Note how we schedule the pending action 'carrier-wait', although the device
already has carrier. That means, the pending action will not be removed
until timeout, 5 seconds later.

Avoid scheduling 'carrier-wait' if we already have carrier.

However, don't just add the pending action 'carrier-wait' only during
nm_device_bring_up(). Instead, always schedule the carrier_wait timeout.
This gives a grace period during which we keep setting 'carrier-wait' whenever
we have no carrier. This should prevent two cases:
  - during nm_device_bring_up() the platform state might not yet have
    caught up. If we don't add the pending action there, we will add
    it a moment later when carrier goes away.
  - bringing the interface up might cause carrier to get lost for a
    moment (flapping). If that happens within the timeout, also add the
    pending action.

02bb4ce7eb device: cleanup nm_device_set_carrier_from_platform()
nm_device_set_carrier_from_platform() is only called from two places.

- both check for NM_DEVICE_CAP_CARRIER_DETECT, so move that check
  inside the function.
- drop the logging in realize_start_setup(). nm_device_set_carrier() already
  does logging.
- always set the fake carrier in nm_device_set_carrier_from_platform().
  For the fake carrer, we anyway expect it to be already TRUE in most
  case, so usually this should have no effect.
  Also emit a property changed signal. That is necessary to refresh the
  D-Bus property.

5a7374d8be device: don't call virtual function carrier_changed() directly
Don't give the subclass the ability to override the parents
behavior. The parent implementation is not intended to allow
for that. Instead, restrict the flexibility of how the virtual
function integrates with the larger picture. That means, the
virtual function is only called at one place, and there is only
one implementation in NMDeviceEthernet (and it doesn't really
matter whether the implementation chains up the parent implementation
or not).

It's not the correct thing to do, but is the same behavior we've done
previously.

DAD is not even going to start until there's carrier and the client would
just wait indefinitely. Ideally, the client would choose not to waiat, but
it currently there's no way the client would discover what is going on.

0461da2690 device: synchronize IPv6 configuration in stage3 (take 2)
Most of the IPv6 methods require a non-tentative link local address
configured on the interface; we look at priv->ip6_config to determine
if such address exist. If the configuration is out-of-sync, we may
proceed with configuration when the link-local address does not exist
or is still tentative, especially because we toggle the "disable_ipv6"
sysctl parameter just before, which clears all IPv6 addresses on the
interface.

Ensure that priv->ext_ip6_config_captured is up-to-date before
continuing with the IPv6 configuration, and use it to determine
whether suitable addresses are present.

20ccbb97d5 device: track firewall state and reset zone during activation
nm_device_update_firewall_zone() would only reconfigure the firewall
zone when the device is fully activated. That means, while the device
is activating, changing the firewall zone is not working. Activation
might take a long time with DHCP, or with master devices waiting
for their slaves.

For example:

  nmcli connection add type team con-name t-team ifname i-team autoconnect no
  nmcli connection up t-team

Note how t-team/i-team is waiting for a slave device. During stage3,
we already set firewall.zone to default.

  nmcli connection modify t-team connection.zone external

Note how changing the firewall zone does not immidiately take
effect. Only later, during IP_CHECK state the firewall zone
is reset -- but only for devices with differing ip_ifindex.

e3113fdc4b device: fix behavior for assumed DHCP connections
When a DHCP connection is active and the DHCP server is temporarily
unreachable, we restart DHCP for some times before failing the
connection. From the user point of view, restarting NM (and thus
assuming the existing connection) should not change this behavior.

However, if NM is restarted while the server is temporarily down, at
the moment we immediately fail because we consider the DHCP
transaction our first try. Fix this by restoring the multiple tries
when we detect that DHCP was active before because the connection is
assumed.

in IP_CONFIG until the master becomes ready. When the master is ready,
it will move slaves directly to SECONDARIES, skipping IP configuration
entirely.

951e5f5bf8 core: make dad_counter argument guint32 type
The dad_counter is hashed into the resulting address. Since we
want the hashing to be independent of the architecture, we always
hash 32 bit of dad_counter. Make the dad_counter argument of
type guint32 for consistency.

In practice this has no effect because:
  - for all our (current!) architectues, guint is the same as
    guint32.
  - all callers of nm_utils_ipv6_addr_set_stable_privacy() keep
    their dad-counter argument as guint8, so they never even pass
    numbers larger then 255.
  - nm_utils_ipv6_addr_set_stable_privacy() limits dad_counter
    further against RFC7217_IDGEN_RETRIES.

b04a9c90eb proxy: introduce call-id for clearing pacmanager configuration
nm_pacrunner_manager_remove() required a "tag" argument. It was a
bug for callers trying to remove a configuration for a non-existing
tag.

That effectively means, the caller must keep track of whether a certain
"tag" is pending. The caller also must remember the tag -- a tag that he
must choose uniquely in the first place.

Turn that around and have nm_pacrunner_manager_send() return a (non
NULL) call-id. This call-id may later be used to remove the
configuration.

Apparently, previously the tracking of the "tag" was not always correct
and we hit the assertion in nm_pacrunner_manager_remove().

9e8218f99a device: leave device up when setting it as unmanaged by user
Before, setting a device to unmanaged causes it to go down and clear
the interface state.

It may be useful to instruct NetworkManager not to touch the device
anymore but leave the current state up. Changing behavior for

  nmcli device set "$DEV" managed no

To get the previous behavior, one has to first disconnect the interface
via

  nmcli device disconnect "$DEV"
  nmcli device set "$DEV" managed no

Note that non-permanent addresses like from DHCP will eventually time
out because NetworkManager stops the DHCP client. When instructing
NetworkManager to let go of the device, you have to take it over in
any way you see fit.

3ad89223d0 pacrunner: rework processing of configuration entries
Fix some issues in nm-pacrunner-manager.c:

 - when adding a configuration through nm_pacrunner_manager_send(), we

   configuration object path, so that the configuration for that
   interface could be removed later. Unfortunately not all
   configurations have an interface associated, so we need a more
   generic way to identify configurations. Introduce a new @tag
   argument that serves as key to match configurations

 - the interface name of the last pushed configuration was stored in
   the manager private config and reused later; this could cause
   issues when there are multiple outstanding D-Bus calls. The
   interface is not needed anymore after the previous point.

 - remove() didn't actually remove the configuration from the list

3fe144f934 device: emit IP_CONFIG_CHANGED signal when default route changes
We now update the default route metric based on the result of the

exclusively by NMPolicy to detect when there is a change in
configuration that requires an update of global DNS and routing
information. Emit those signals also when the default route changes.

9d43869e47 core: make connectivity checking per-device
This moves tracking of connectivity to NMDevice and makes the NMManager

This will be useful to determine correct metrics for multiple default routes
depending on actual internet connectivity.

The per-device connection checks is not yet exposed on the D-Bus, since they
probably should be per-address-family as well.

f20bdebae9 device: deal with non-existing IP settings in get_ip_config_may_fail()
If the IP setting does not exist, consider the IP method as
may-fail=yes. This simplifies the decision path in check_ip_state(),
where the value of may-fail is used to decide whether we must wait for
the IP method to complete. If there is no IP setting (i.e. the device
is a slave), we don't have to wait for it to be applied.

Fixes the following:

cae3cef60f device: apply a loose IPv4 rp_filter when it would interfere with multihoming
The IPv4 Strict Reverse Path Forwarding filter (RFC 3704) drops legitimate
traffic when the same route is present on multiple interfaces, which is a
pretty common scenario for IPv4 hosts. In particular, if the traffic is
routable via multiple interfaces it drops traffic incoming via the device that
has lower metric on the route to the originating network.

Among other things, this disrupts existing connection when the user connected
to the Internet via Wi-Fi activates a Wired Ethernet connection that also has a
default route. Also, the Strict filter (and Reverse Path filters in general)
provide practically no value to hosts that have a default route.

The solution this patch uses is to detect scenarios where Strict filter is
known to interfere and switch to a saner RP filter on the affected links.
Routes to the same network on multiple interfaces is a good indication the RP
filter would drop the legitimate traffice from the link with a lower metric.
This includes the default routes.

In such cases, we switch to the Loose Reverse Path Forwarding. This addresses
the problems the multihomed hosts face, at the cost of disabling filtering
altogether when a default route is present. A Feasible Path Reverse Path
Forwarding would address the main problems with the Strict filter, but it's
not implemented by the Linux kernel.
