- use nm_auto_close cleanup attribute
- optionally, return the found ifname
- don't stat "phy80211". If such an entity can be opened,
just assume it's a directory.

A race condition may happen when NetworkManager opens sysfs and udev
renames interface name at the same time. Thomas Haller provides a new
function [1] which can avoid the race condition when opening sysfs.
This patch is a direct copy from [1].

(cherry picked from commit 713c74f6e4)
For addresses (NMPlatformIPAddress) the @addr_source field is ignored
on a platform level. That is, all addresses inside the platform cache
have this value set to NM_IP_CONFIG_SOURCE_KERNEL. Maybe, for that reason,
the source should not be a part of the NMPlatformIPAddress structure, but
it is convenient for users to piggy back the source inside the platform
address structure.
For routes, the source is stored in NMPlatformIPRoute's @rt_source
field. When adding a route to kernel, we set the @rtm_protocol of the
route depending on the source. However, we want to map different source
values to the same protocol value.
On the other hand, when kernel sends us a route that gets put inside
the cache, we must preserve the protocol value and must not map
different protocol values to the same source.
The reason is, that a user can add two routes that only differ by
@rtm_protocol. In that sense, the @rtm_protocol fields is part of the
unique ID of a kernel route, and thus different values must map to
different sources.
Fix this, by extending the range of NMIPConfigSource to contain
a range of protocol fields.
Most functions defined in "nm-platform-utils.h" perform a lookup
of link properties, for example via ethtool or sysfs. Those functions
depend on the system configuration, such as the current network namespace.
Move the simple helper functions away to "nm-core-internal.h", so that
all remaining functions from "nm-platform-utils.h" are really related to
somthing that interacts with the system/kernel.
- All internal source files (except "examples", which are not internal)
should include "config.h" first. As also all internal source
files should include "nm-default.h", let "config.h" be included
by "nm-default.h" and include "nm-default.h" as first in every
source file.
We already wanted to include "nm-default.h" before other headers
because it might contains some fixes (like "nm-glib.h" compatibility)
that is required first.
- After including "nm-default.h", we optinally allow for including the
corresponding header file for the source file at hand. The idea
is to ensure that each header file is self contained.
- Don't include "config.h" or "nm-default.h" in any header file
(except "nm-sd-adapt.h"). Public headers anyway must not include
these headers, and internal headers are never included after
"nm-default.h", as of the first previous point.
- Include all internal headers with quotes instead of angle brackets.
In practice it doesn't matter, because in our public headers we must
include other headers with angle brackets. As we use our public
headers also to compile our interal source files, effectively the
result must be the same. Still do it for consistency.
- Except for <config.h> itself. Include it with angle brackets as suggested by
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Configuration-Headers
Performing an ioctl on a non existent device may cause the automatic
load of a kernel module if the device name matches a module
alias. Check if the device actually exists before calling the ioctl.
There is no general purpose file for platform utilities.
We only have nm-platform.h, which contains (mostly) functions
that operate on a NMPlatform instance (and that can be mocked
using NMFakePlatform).
Add a new file for independent utility functions. nm-platform-utils.c
should not call into functions having a NMPlatform instance, to
have them independent from platform caching and the platform
singleton.
