A solicitation loop could result for two cases:
1) a router sent DNS information, then removed that information without
sending it with lifetime=0
2) two routers exist, one sending DNS information and the other not, and
the first router which sends DNS information disappears
In these cases a solicitation would be generated when the DNS information
reached 1/2 its lifetime. A router would then reply to the solicitation
without DNS information, which would then trigger another lifetime check,
which finds that the DNS info is still 1/2 lifetime. Which triggers
another solicitation, etc.
Fix this by ensuring that a solicitation is never sent less than
rtr_solicitation_interval seconds after the last one.
If a route or gateway's priority increased, the item would be added
to the array again without removing the older entry. At the same time
don't bother adding an item with a zero lifetime, since it will just
be removed again by the clean_* functions.
Most nm_platform_*() functions operate on the platform
singleton nm_platform_get(). That made sense because the
NMPlatform instance was mainly to hook fake platform for
testing.
While the implicit argument saved some typing, I think explicit is
better. Especially, because NMPlatform could become a more usable
object then just a hook for testing.
With this change, NMPlatform instances can be used individually, not
only as a singleton instance.
Before this change, the constructor of NMLinuxPlatform could not
call any nm_platform_*() functions because the singleton was not
yet initialized. We could only instantiate an incomplete instance,
register it via nm_platform_setup(), and then complete initialization
via singleton->setup().
With this change, we can create and fully initialize NMPlatform instances
before/without setting them up them as singleton.
Also, currently there is no clear distinction between functions
that operate on the NMPlatform instance, and functions that can
be used stand-alone (e.g. nm_platform_ip4_address_to_string()).
The latter can not be mocked for testing. With this change, the
distinction becomes obvious. That is also useful because it becomes
clearer which functions make use of the platform cache and which not.
Inside nm-linux-platform.c, continue the pattern that the
self instance is named @platform. That makes sense because
its type is NMPlatform, and not NMLinuxPlatform what we
would expect from a paramter named @self.
This is a major diff that causes some pain when rebasing. Try
to rebase to the parent commit of this commit as a first step.
Then rebase on top of this commit using merge-strategy "ours".
config.h should be included from every .c file, and it should be
included before any other include. Fix that.
(As a side effect of how I did this, this also changes us to
consistently use "config.h" rather than <config.h>. To the extent that
it matters [which is not much], quotes are more correct anyway, since
we're talking about a file in our own build tree, not a system
include.)
Add NetworkManager.h, which includes all of the other NM header, and
require all external users of libnm to use that rather than the
individual headers.
(An exception is made for nm-dbus-interface.h,
nm-vpn-dbus-interface.h, and nm-version.h, which can be included
separately.)
Since the API has not changed at this point, this is mostly just a
matter of updating Makefiles, and changing references to the library
name in comments.
NetworkManager cannot link to libnm due to the duplicated type/symbol
names. So it links to libnm-core.la directly, which means that
NetworkManager gets a separate copy of that code from libnm.so.
Everything else links to libnm.
Some subdirectories of src/ encapsulate large chunks of functionality,
but src/config/, src/logging/, and src/posix-signals/ are really only
separated out because they used to be built into separate
sub-libraries that were needed either for test programs, or to prevent
circular dependencies. Since this is no longer relevant, simplify
things by moving their files back into the main source directory.
Ethernet-like interfaces aren't the only type of interfaces that can
run IPv6 but the rdisc code only returns an address if the interface's
hardware address is 6 bytes.
Interface types like PPP (rfc5072) and IPoIB (rfc4391) have their own
specifications for constructing IPv6 addresses and we should honor
those.
So instead of expecting a MAC address, let each device subclass
generate an Interface Identifier and use that for rdisc instead.
We were linking libndp into the NetworkManager binary, but it ought to
be marked as a dependency of libNetworkManager, in case a test
exercises that code.
Clean up some of the cross-includes between headers (which made it so
that, eg, if you included NetworkManagerUtils.h in a test program, you
would need to build the test with -I$(top_srcdir)/src/platform, and if
you included nm-device.h you'd need $(POLKIT_CFLAGS)) by moving all
GObject struct definitions for src/ and src/settings/ into nm-types.h
(which already existed to solve the NMDevice/NMActRequest circular
references).
Update various .c files to explicitly include the headers they used to
get implicitly, and remove some now-unnecessary -I options from
Makefiles.
nm-version.h was getting disted, making srcdir!=builddir work for
tarball builds, but not for git builds.
Also, remove "-I${top_builddir}/include" from all Makefile.ams, since
there's nothing generated in include/ any more.
The IPv6 spec say that when performing SLAAC, you should sent at most
3 RSes, at least 4 seconds apart. We were previously continuing to
send RSes forever if we didn't get back a response. Fix that.
(Since the fix involves making nm-lndp-rdisc use NMPlatform, it was
necessary to rewrite the rdisc test program a bit, to not try to
include <net/if.h>, which is incompatible with <linux/if.h>.)
NetworkManager uses the sysctl value 'max_addresses' as the kernel does.
There is however a difference in what addresses are taken into account.
The kernel counts all addresses on the interface (including temporary,
private addresses and user configured ones).
NM instead only limits the number of public autoconf addresses to
'max_addresses'. This is because it is difficult for NM to count all
addresses (which can come from different sources) and it is not
necessarily a more logical behavior. Only be aware, that NM uses
the same config value as the kernel, but counts differently.
Especially, the kernel might reach the limit earlier then NM in the
presence of temporary addresses or addresses not from SLAAC.
Note, that the kernel uses 'max_addresses' only to limit public, autoconf
addresses. So this limit does not affect NM adding as many addresses as
it wants.

If the command line or NetworkManager.conf mentions a non-existent
domain, just print a warning and ignore it. That way if you switch to
using an older NM that doesn't have that domain, it will still work.
ndp_open() can fail, do not assume it cannot.
When 'ipv6.disable=1' kernel parameter is used, the whole IPv6 stack is
disabled and the attempt to create PF_INET6 socket fails.

Abstract class, fake implementation and a manual testing tool for
NetworkManager's internal IPv6 router discovery module. When a real
implementation is ready, it will replace nm-ip6-manager and will be used
by nm-device.
