This does not match kernel behavior. You seem to be able to configure
multicast_snooping=auto,enabled with multicast_snooping off just fine.
Possibly this constrained was inspired by `ip link`, which says:
mcast_router MULTICAST_ROUTER - set bridge's multicast router if IGMP
snooping is enabled.
But kernel doesn't enforce this:
ip link delete br0 2>/dev/null; \
ip link add br0 type bridge mcast_router 1 mcast_snooping 0; \
grep ^ /sys/devices/virtual/net/br0/bridge/{multicast_router,multicast_snooping}
gives:
/sys/devices/virtual/net/br0/bridge/multicast_router:1
/sys/devices/virtual/net/br0/bridge/multicast_snooping:0
We probably should not implement additional constrains on top of what
kernel does, if the conditions are that obscure.
Fixes: e01d3b4c2b ('nm-setting-bridge: add 'multicast-router' bridge option')
nm_keyfile_read() and nm_keyfile_write() will be public API.
As such, it must be flexible and extendible for future needs.
There is already the handler callback that fully solves this
(e.g. a future handler event could request whether a certain
behavior is enabled or not).
As additional possibility for future extension, add a flags
argument. Currently no flags are implemented.
UBSan marks these:
libnm-core/tests/test-setting.c:2146:2: runtime error: left shift of 65521 by 16 places cannot be represented in type 'int'
#0 0x561739bed935 in test_tc_config_qdisc libnm-core/tests/test-setting.c:2146
By passing as length of the MAC addresses -1 for both arguments, one
could get through to compare empty strings, NULL, and addresses longer
than the maximum. Such addresses are not valid, and they should never
compare equal (not even to themselves).
This is a change in behavior of public API, but it never made sense to
claim two addresses are equal, when they are not even valid addresses.
Also, avoid undefined behavior with "NULL, -1, NULL, -1" arguments,
where we would call memcmp() with zero length and NULL arguments.
UBSan flags that too.
When parsing user input if is often convenient to allow stripping whitespace.
Especially with escaped strings, the user could still escape the whitespace,
if the space should be taken literally.
Add support for that to nm_utils_buf_utf8safe_unescape().
Note that this is not the same as calling g_strstrip() before/after
unescape. That is, because nm_utils_buf_utf8safe_unescape() correctly
preserves escaped whitespace. If you call g_strstrip() before/after
the unescape, you don't know whether the whitespace is escaped.
Like for data, now also allow empty secrets to be added to the VPN
setting.
For one, this avoids an assertion failure, where keyfile reader wouldn't
check whether a secret key is set to the empty word.
For data, it's more clear that we want to allow setting empty data
values. VPN settings are only interpreted by the VPN plugin, so libnm
and the daemon shouldn't prevent empty settings. It can be useful to
distinguish between unset (NULL) and empty values.
For secrets, it's less clear that empty secrets shall be allowed. I
think it should. Of course, the empty secret likely isn't a correct
nor valid secret. But libnm cannot validate the secrets anyway. It's
up to the VPN plugin to handle this in any way they see fit.
Also, already before, the user could set NM_SETTING_VPN_SECRETS to
a string dictionary with empty passwords. So, the API didn't fully
prevent that. Only certain API wouldn't play along.
Until now, nm_setting_vpn_add_data_item() would reject empty data values.
This leads for example to an assertion failure, if you write a keyfile
that assigns an empty value to a key. Keyfile reader would not check that
the value is non-empty before calling nm_setting_vpn_add_data_item().
Anyway, I think we should not require having non-empty data elements. It's
an unnecessary and sometimes harmful restriction. NetworkManager doesn't understand
not care about the content of the vpn data. That is up the VPN plugins. Sometimes
and empty value may be desirable.
Also, the NM_SETTING_VPN_DATA property setter wouldn't filter out empty
values either. So it was always possible to use some libnm API to set data
with empty values. The restriction in nm_setting_vpn_add_data_item() was
inconsistent.
NMTST_SWAP() used memcpy() for copying the value, while NM_SWAP() uses
a temporary variable with typeof(). I think the latter is preferable.
Also, the macro is essentially doing the same thing.
g_clear_pointer() would always cast the destroy notify function
pointer to GDestroyNotify. That means, it lost some type safety, like
GPtrArray *ptr_arr = ...
g_clear_pointer (&ptr_arr, g_array_unref);
Since glib 2.58 ([1]), g_clear_pointer() is also more type safe. But
this is not used by NetworkManager, because we don't set
GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED to 2.58.

We have nm_clear_pointer() to avoid this issue for a long time (pre
1.12.0). Possibly we should redefine in our source tree g_clear_pointer()
as nm_clear_pointer(). However, I don't like to patch glib functions
with our own variant. Arguably, we do patch g_clear_error() in
such a manner. But there the point is to make the function inlinable.
Also, nm_clear_pointer() returns a boolean that indicates whether
anything was cleared. That is sometimes useful. I think we should
just consistently use nm_clear_pointer() instead, which does always
the preferable thing.
Replace:
sed 's/\<g_clear_pointer *(\([^;]*\), *\([a-z_A-Z0-9]\+\) *)/nm_clear_pointer (\1, \2)/g' $(git grep -l g_clear_pointer) -i
I think it's preferable to use nm_clear_g_free() instead of
g_clear_pointer(, g_free). The reasons are not very strong,
but I think it is overall preferable to have a shorthand for this
frequently used functionality.
sed 's/\<g_clear_pointer *(\([^;]*\), *\(g_free\) *)/nm_clear_g_free (\1)/g' $(git grep -l g_clear_pointer) -i
This solves a bug exposed by the following cmds:
$ nmcli c add type bond ifname bond0 con-name bond0
$ nmcli c modify bond0 +bond.options miimon=100
$ nmcli -f bond.options c show bond0
bond.options: mode=balance-rr
Here we just added the option 'miimon=100', but it doesn't get saved in
because nm_settings_connection_set_connection() which is responsible for
actually updating the connection compares the new connection with old
one and if and only if the 2 are different the update is carried out.
The bug is triggered because when comparing, if default values are taken into
account, then having 'miimon=100' or not having it it's essentially the
same for compare(). While this doesn't cause a bond to have a wrong
setting when activated it's wrong from a user experience point of view
and thus must be fixed.
When this patch is applied, the above
commands will give the following results:
$ nmcli c add type bond ifname bond0 con-name bond0
$ nmcli c modify bond0 +bond.options miimon=100
$ nmcli -f bond.options c show bond0
bond.options: mode=balance-rr,miimon=100
Fix unit tests and also add a new case covering this bug.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1806549
Fix 'miimon' and 'arp_interval' validation, they can both be set indeed,
the kernel does not impose this limitation, nevertheless is sensible to
keep the defaults as previously (miimon=100, arp_interval=0).
Also add unit test.
Just looking at the hashtable entry of 'updelay' and 'downdelay' options
is wrong, we have to inspect their values to check if they're
actually enabled or not.
Otherwise bond connections with valid settings will fail
when created:
$ nmcli c add type bond ifname bond99 bond.options miimon=0,updelay=0,mode=0
Error: Failed to add 'bond-bond99' connection: bond.options: 'updelay' option requires 'miimon' option to be set
Also add unit tests.

The interface-name property has several deprecated aliases, like
"bridge.interface-name". For backward compatibility, we keep handling
them.
In particular, the "missing_from_dbus_fcn" handler is set. This handles
the case where GVariant only contains the deprecated form, but not
"connection.interface-name".
Previously, from_dbus_fcn() would check whether the deprecated form was
present, and -- only if that form was invalid -- prefer it. The idea was
to fail validation if the deprecated property was invalid.
I think that is not necessary. Just completely ignore the deprecated property,
if the new property is present.
What might make sense is to check whether the deprecated and the new
form are both present, that they are identical. However, I don't think
that is worth the effort.
Clang 10 doesn't like NM_IN_SET() with strings and is right about that:
../libnm-core/tests/test-general.c:7763:9: error: result of comparison against a string literal is unspecified (use an explicit string comparison function instead) [-Werror,-Wstring-compare]
(void) NM_IN_SET ("a", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16");

However, NM_IN_STRSET() should work.
quoting 'man ovs-vswitchd.conf.db':
"The name must be alphanumeric and must not contain forward or backward
slashes."
OVS actually accepts a wider range of chars (all printable UTF-8 chars),
NetworkManager restricts this to ASCII char as it's a safer option for
now since OVS is not well documented on this matter.

Fixes: e7d72a14f6 ('libnm-core: use different ifname validation function for OVS bridges, ports and interfaces')
OVS bridges and ports do not have the length limitation of 15 bytes, the
only requirements are that all chars must be alphanumeric and not be
forward or backward slashes.
For OVS interfaces only 'patch' types do not have the length limit, all
the other types do (according to whether they have a corresponding
kernel link or not).
Add related unit test.

and _nm_utils_inet6_ntop() instead of nm_utils_inet6_ntop().
nm_utils_inet4_ntop()/nm_utils_inet6_ntop() are public API of libnm.
For one, that means they are only available in code that links with
libnm/libnm-core. But such basic helpers should be available everywhere.
Also, they accept NULL as destination buffers. We keep that behavior
for potential libnm users, but internally we never want to use the
static buffers. This patch needs to take care that there are no callers
of _nm_utils_inet[46]_ntop() that pass NULL buffers.
Also, _nm_utils_inet[46]_ntop() are inline functions and the compiler
can get rid of them.
We should consistently use the same variant of the helper. The only
downside is that the "good" name is already taken. The leading
underscore is rather ugly and inconsistent.
Also, with our internal variants we can use "static array indices in
function parameter declarations" next. Thereby the compiler helps
to ensure that the provided buffers are of the right size.
nmtst_main_context_iterate_until*() iterates until the condition is
satisfied. If that doesn't happen within timeout, it fails an assertion.
Rename the function to make that clearer.
Keyfile support was initially added under GPL-2.0+ license as part of
core. It was moved to "libnm-core" in commit 59eb5312a5 ('keyfile: merge
branch 'th/libnm-keyfile-bgo744699'').
"libnm-core" is statically linked with by core and "libnm". In
the former case under terms of GPL-2.0+ (good) and in the latter case
under terms of LGPL-2.1+ (bad).
In fact, to this day, "libnm" doesn't actually use the code. The linker
will probably remove all the GPL-2.0+ symbols when compiled with
gc-sections or LTO. Still, linking them together in the first place
makes "libnm" only available under GPL code (despite the code
not actually being used).
Instead, move the GPL code to a separate static library
"shared/nm-keyfile/libnm-keyfile.la" and only link it to the part
that actually uses the code (and which is GPL licensed too).
This fixes the license violation.
Eventually, it would be very useful to be able to expose keyfile
handling via "libnm". However that is not straight forward due to the
licensing conflict.

We will rework NMClient entirely. Then, the synchronous initialization will also use
the asynchronous code paths. The difference will be that with synchronous initialization,
all D-Bus interaction will be done with an internal GMainContext as current thread default,
and that internal context will run until initialization completes.
Note that even after initialization completes, it cannot be swapped back to the user's
(outer) GMainContext. That is because contexts are essentially the queue for our
D-Bus events, and we cannot swap from one queue to the other in a race
free manner (or a full resync). In other words, the two contexts are not in sync,
so after using the internal context NMClient needs to stick to that (at least, until
the name owner gets lost, which gives an opportunity to resync and switch back to the
user's main context).
We thus need to hook the internal (inner) GMainContext with the user's (outer) context,
so when the user iterates the outer context, events on the inner context get dispatched.
Add nm_utils_g_main_context_create_integrate_source() to create such a GSource for
integrating two contexts.
Note that the use-case here is limited: the integrated, inner main context must
not be explicitly iterated except from being dispatched by the integrating
source. Otherwise, you'd get recursive runs, possible deadlocks and general
ugliness. NMClient must show restrain how to use the inner context while it is
integrated.
This essentially aligns the implementation with the documentation.
It is also rather useful, since it allows us to use the value returned
by nm_setting_wired_get_mac_address() directly, and that one can indeed
be NULL.
There are different enum files created that make use of different
template files. However, `mkenums_simple` method allows the creation
of the same enum files without the need of template files.
The creation of the `nm-core-enum-types` and
`nm-core-tests-enum-types` use now `mkenums_simple` so template
files are now unnecessary.
All variables used in every test have been moved to the start of the
build file.
Generated enum sources variable has been renamed to `enum_sources`
to clearly specify what it is holding.
The `libnm-core` build file has been improved by applying a set of
changes:
- Indentation has been fixed to be consistent.
- Library variable names have been changed to `lib{name}` pattern
following their filename pattern.
- `shared` prefix has been removed from all variables using it.
- Dependencies have been reviewed to store the necessary data.
- The use of the libraries and dependencies created in this file
has been reviewed through the entire source code. This has
required the addition or the removal of different libraries and
dependencies in different targets.
- Some files used directly with the `files` function have been moved
to their nearest path build file because meson stores their full
path seamessly and they can be used anywhere later.
The `nm-default.h` header is used widely in the code by many
targets. This header includes different headers and needs different
libraries depending the compilation flags.
A new set of `*nm_default_dep` dependencies have been created to
ease the inclusion of different directorires and libraries.
This allows cleaner build files and avoiding linking unnecessary
libraries so this has been applied allowing the removal of some
dependencies involving the linking of unnecessary libraries.
