A D-Bus signal is asynchronous and it can happen that nm-dhcp-helper
emits the "Event" signal before the server is able to register a handler:
NM_DHCP_HELPER=/usr/libexec/nm-dhcp-helper
nmcli general logging level TRACE
for i in `seq 1 500`; do $NM_DHCP_HELPER & done
journalctl -u NetworkManager --since '1 min ago' | grep "didn't have associated interface" | wc -l
499
Avoid that, by calling the synchronous D-Bus method "Notify".
Interestingly, this race seem to exist since 2007.
Actually, we called g_dbus_connection_signal_subscribe() from inside
GDBusServer:new-connection signal. So it is not clear how such a race
could exist. I was not able to reproduce it by putting a sleep
before g_dbus_connection_signal_subscribe(). On the other hand, there
is bug rh#1372854 and above reproducer which strongly indicates that
events can be lost under certain circumstances.
Now we instead g_dbus_connection_register_object() from the
new-connection signal. According to my tests there was no more race
as also backed by glib's documentation. Still, keep a simple retry-loop
in nm-dhcp-helper just to be sure.

Don't exit(1) from fatal_error() because that skips destroying

It's not "signal-handles", as it currently tracks the registration ID of
type int. Rename it, it is effectively the list of connections that we
track.

tv.tv_usec is guaranteed to have less then 6 digits, however rounding it up
we might reach 1000000 and thus the value becomes mis-aligned. To round
correctly, we would have to carry over a potential overflow to the seconds.
But that seems too much effort for little gain. Just truncate the value.

For "cloned-mac-address", the empty string "" is an invalid
value that is rejected by verify().
Commit 8eed671 changed how the property is serialized to D-Bus.
Before, it was serialized using _nm_utils_hwaddr_to_dbus().
For invalid or empty addresses, this would not serialize the
value on D-Bus (or before commit 76aa6f8e0, it would create
a bogus value with no array elements).
With commit 8eed671, the cloned-mac-address gets also serialized
as "assigned-mac-address" via _nm_utils_hwaddr_cloned_data_synth(),
which would pass on invalid strings that the server would then reject.
That breaks for example nmtui. Try editing a connection with
"cloned-mac-address" set to NULL. Note, as long as you don't edit
the cloned MAC address in nmtui, you can save the modification.
Once you start modifying the entry, you can no longer set an empty
MAC address as the server now receives the invalid empty string.
Thus, the "OK" button fails with
Unable to save connection:
802-3-ethernet.cloned-mac-address:
is not a valid MAC address
It also means, nmtui cannot modify the "cloned-mac-address" field to
become empty.
Fix that problem at various places by coercing "" to NULL.

Nowadays, users should use the standard "PropertiesChanged" signal
on "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" interface.
(cherry picked from commit 6fb917178a)
Before switching to gdbus (before 1.2.0), NetworkManager used dbus-glib.
Most objects in the D-Bus API with properties had a signal
NetworkManager-specific "PropertiesChanged" signal. Nowadays, this way of
handling of property changes is deprecated for the common "PropertiesChanged"
signal on the "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" interface.
There were a few pecularities in 1.0.0 and earlier:
(1) Due to the implementation with dbus-glib, a property-changed
signal was emitted on *all* interfaces. For example:
- a change on a NMDeviceVeth of "NMDeviceEthernet.HwAddress" would be
emitted both for the interfaces "fdo.NM.Device.Ethernet" and
"fdo.NM.Device.Veth". Note that NMDeviceVeth is derived from
NMDeviceEthernet and there is no "HwAddress" on veth device.
- a change of "NMVpnConnection.VpnState" was emitted on both
interfaces "fdo.NM.VPN.Connection" and "fdo.NM.Connecion.Active".
Note that NMActiveConnection is the parent type of NMVpnConnection and
only the latter has a property "VpnState".
(2) NMDevice's "fdo.NM.Device" interface doesn't have a "PropertiesChanged"
signal. From (1) follows that all property-changes for this type were instead
invoked with an interface like "fdo.NM.Device.Ethernet" (or multiple
interfaces in case of NMDeviceVeth).
1.2.0 introduced gdbus, which gives us the standard "fdo.DBus.Properties"
signal. However, it made the mistake of not realizing (1), thus instead
of emitting the signal once for each interface, it would pick the first
one in the inheritance tree.
With 1.4.0, a bug from merge commit 844345e caused signals for devices
to be only emitted for the interface "fdo.NM.Device.Statistics", instead
of "fdo.NM.Device.Ethernet" or "fdo.NM.Device.Veth" (or both).
The latter is what bgo#770629 is about and what commit 82e9439 tried to fix.
However, the fix was wrong because it tried to do the theoretically correct
thing of emitting the property-changed signal exactly once for the
interface that actually ontains the property. In addition, it missed that
NMDevice doesn't have a PropertiesChanged signal, which caused signals for
"fdo.NM.Device" to get lost *sigh*.
Now, restore the (broken) behavior of 1.0.0. These old-style property changed
signals are anyway considered deprecated and exist solely to satisfy old clients
and preserve the old API.

Now that we validate the JSON syntax of a team/team-port
configuration, any existing connection with invalid JSON configuration
would fail to load and disappear upon upgrade. Instead, modify the
setting plugins to emit a warning but still load the connection with
empty configuration.

It's better to fail the validation of any invalid configuration
instead of silently ignoring it.
This reverts commit 476810c290.

After the fix in [1], if the connection is assumed we don't update its
firewall zone. The goal of that change was to prevent NM from
interfering with the configuration done externally on devices not
created by NM.
However if there is an assumed persistent connection active on the
device NM touches the configuration in other ways, for example it
configures DHCP and manages the default route. So it seems correct to
also update the firewall zone.
OTOH, if the connection is assumed-generated there is no persistent
connection specifying a firewall zone and updating it makes no sense.
Bug [1] was about not interfering with devices unknown to NM (for
which there is no persistent connection) and so this change should not
conflict with the previous fix.

(cherry picked from commit c39e03edbf)
nm_exported_object_notify() hooks GObject's property-change signal
and searches for the D-Bus interface to which to send the
PropertiesChanged signal.
Then it would enqueue the value encoded as GVariant in pending_notifications.
However, thereby the association between the property that changed and the
interface was lost. So later in idle_emit_properties_changed() it would
just pick the first interface with a properties-changed-id.
That is wrong. pending_notifications must be associated with the D-Bus
interface that we are going to notify. That is, each InterfaceData must
have its own separate list.
This is broken since introducing NMExportedObject and moving to gdbus.
Only now it was discovered as NMDevice itself has two D-Bus interfaces:
"Device" and "Device.Statistics".
Note that the order of the PropertiesChanged in our D-Bus API is not defined
so that later signals can reach the receiver before earlier signals.
Also, multiple change signals for one property may be combined.
That is not changed by this patch and is not considered a bug, but something
that our D-Bus API wrt. PropertiesChanged does not guarantee.

At this point we don't know if the slave has been using an assumed
connection that just vanished -- the best bet is to let the device be.
If it's meant to be unenslaved, it won't be due to an external event.

(cherry picked from commit 3127fb0d17)
When a software device unrealizes, we want to forget about the "user-explict"
unmanaged state. It means, that after a software device is deleted, the
"user-explict" managed flag will be cleared for that device.
It might be nice to preserve the managed-state after deletion of the device.
However, the unrealized-device only exists as long as we have a connection
for the device. That means, before this patch whether the unmanaged flag
was forgotten depends on whether the user had some connections that keep
the device alive as unrealized. That behavior was complicated, just don't
do that.

It seems some drivers return success for nm_platform_link_set_address(),

It changes a bit later, possibly after setting the device up.

success but the address still differs at first.

Depending on the connection we are about to read,
we would assert that the user provided a @out_unhandled
argument.
That means, the user must always provide a valid @out_unhandled
pointer, because he cannot know beforehand how the reading
of the ifcfg file goes.
