Use two common defines NM_BUILD_SRCDIR and NM_BUILD_BUILDDIR
for specifying the location of srcdir and builddir.
Note that this is only relevant for tests, as they expect
a certain layout of the directories, to find files that concern
them.
Use the path instead. This drop an useless use of the "name" property,
which is, coincidentally also wrong. (We use "ibft" in the plugin path
whereas the property is set to "iBFT".)
It's actually annoying, useless and wraps over even on wide displays.
Let's make it consistent with the log line we use for device plugins.
Also, this drops the last use of the "info" property and one useless use
of the "name" property.

Thanks to the marvelous effort of the GNU compiler developer we can now
spare a couple of bits that could be used for more important things,
like this commit message. Standards commitees yet have to catch up.
It is meant to be rather similar in nature to isblank() or
g_ascii_isspace().
Sadly, isblank() is locale dependent while g_ascii_isspace() also considers
vertical whitespace as a space. That's no good for configuration files that
are strucutured into lines, which happens to be a pretty common case.
There is no need to perform a lookup by path. NMSettings is a singleton,
it has the connection exactly iff the connection is linked.
Also add an assertion to double-check that the results agree with
the previous implementation.
nm_settings_add_connection_dbus() has two callers. One of them is NMManager
during AddAndActivate. In this case, the NMActiveConnection already created
an auth-subject. Re-use it.
Note how creating an auth-subject involves reading procfs to determine
whether the process still exists. This is not about the additional
overhead of that, but about the race where the process could drop
of in the meantime. The calling process might be gone now, and we would
fail creating the auth-subject. There is no need for that, because we
already evaluated all information we need. Quite likely, in the case
of this race, PolicyKit will also determine that the process is gone
and fail authorization too. But that's PolicyKit's decision to make,
not nm_settings_add_connection_dbus()'s.
Introduce a new ifcfg-rh variable ACD_TIMEOUT that stores the exact
value of ipv4.dad-timeout without rounding. We still write the
initscripts-compatible ARPING_WAIT variable, and read it when
ACD_TIMEOUT is missing.
Up to now, it was not visible on D-Bus whether a connection
was generated by NetworkManager and/or volatile.
That is for example interesting for firewalld, which aims
to store persistant configuration in NetworkManager's profile.
However, that doesn't make sense for external connections
(which are nm-generated & volatile). In fact, it probably
makes no sense for volatile connections in general, because
modifying them, likely makes them non-volatile (depending on
how the profile is modified).
Also, the Update2() D-Bus operation allows to carefully
make connections volatile and unsaved. As we have public
API to set these flags, we should also expose them on D-Bus.

The D-Bus interface already has a boolean property "Unsaved".
While that is nicer too look at (in the API), adding a new flag
is very cumbersome, and also has more overhead. For example,
it requires extending the D-Bus API, all the way down to libnm.
Add a flags argument, that will allow to add future boolean
flags easier.
For one, these flags are "internal" flags. Soon, we will gain
a new NMSettingsConnectionFlags type that is exported on D-Bus
and partly overlaps with these internal flags. However, then we
will need the "flags" properties to expose the public bits.
This property only exists because other parts are interested in
notification signals. Note that we encourage NMDbusObject types
to freeze/thaw property-changed notifications. As freezing the
notifications also delays the signals, this is not desired for
the purpose where internal users subscribe to the signal.
"NMSettingsConnectionFlags" was an internal enum. Soon, we will add such
a type in libnm. Avoid the naming conflict by renaming. The "Int" stands
for "internal".
We also don't emit the PropertiesChanged signal while connections are
not loaded. Maybe that is wrong, in any case, the property should agree
with the way how we emit notifications. So, for now, make the property
agree with not notifying about connections during startup.
Get rid of the NMAuthChain layer.
I think NMAuthChain only makes sense if we schedule multiple requests
together for the same topic. But NMSettingsConnection never does that:
each D-Bus request corresponds to only one polkit authorization request.
So, we can just call NMAuthManager directly.
NMAuthChain is not really ref-counted. True, we have an internal ref-counter
to ensure that the instance stays alive while the callback is invoked. However,
the user cannot take additional references as there is no nm_auth_chain_ref().
When the user wants to get rid of the auth-chain, with the current API it
is important that the callback won't be called after that point. From the
name nm_auth_chain_unref(), it sounds like that there could be multiple references
to the auth-chain, and merely unreferencing the object might not guarantee that
the callback is canceled. However, that is luckily not the case, because
there is no real ref-counting involved here.
Just rename the destroy function to make this clearer.
NMSettings already references NMSettingsConnection. Hence, it should not
at the same time reference itself. Arguably, during shutdown we do not properly
release all NMSettingsConnection. For example, there is no nm_settings_stop().
But that is a bug that needs fixing.
No need to keep the NMSettings instance alive here. If this is really
necessary, it needs fixing somewhere else. Besides, we know that we leak
a lot during shutdown, so this needs more work to do a clean shutdown.
No longer rely on nm_connection_get_path() being meaningful in server.
It also was wrong. During update, nm_settings_connection_update()
would call
nm_utils_log_connection_diff (replace_connection, NM_CONNECTION (self), ...
where replace_connection has no path set, and nothing was logged.
Fix it, by explicitly passing the D-Bus path. Also, because
nm-core-utils.c should be independent of nm-dbus-object.h.
Essentially, nm_connection_get_path() mirros nm_dbus_object_get_path().
However, when cloning a simple-connection, the path also gets cloned.
I think this field doesn't belong to NMConnection in the first place,
because NMConnection is not a D-Bus object. NMSettingsConnection (in
core) and NMRemoteConnection (in libnm) is.
Don't use the misleading alias, but use nm_dbus_object_get_path()
directly.
This wasn't a problem, because load_plugins() can only fails
if the settings plugins fail to load, which can only happen
if you have a broken installation.
Don't subscribe twice to the same signal. The more subscribers a
signal has, the more confusing it gets what is happening.
We can handle also the default-wired-connection in the regular
connection-removed signal.
Note how connection_removed() is registered with
g_signal_connect_after(), but that is fine. There are few subscribers
to this signal (that don't do anything that interferes here).
Especially, since all other subscribers subscribe with the same
priority (hence, are unordered). So, moving this task explicitly
to after, does not change any ordering guarantee -- in fact, it
ensures an ordering that was undefined previously. Anyway, it
doesn't matter.
There are multiple tests with the same in different directories; add a
unique prefix to test names so that it is clear from the output which
one is running.
NM_CONTROLLED=no has the primary use of marking devices as unmanaged.
For that to work, the ifcfg file must contain either a MAC address,
an interface-name, or s390-subchannels that match a device.
In case the profile doesn't contain such specifiers, the profile
is ignored and a warning was logged:
<warn> [1522849679.7866] ifcfg-rh: loading "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ens99" fails: NM_CONTROLLED was false but device was not uniquely identified; device will be managed
Downgrade this warning to a debug message. It's not unreasonable
that a user marks a ifcfg file with NM_CONTROLLED=no, to avoid
NetworkManager handling it. Yes, that way, the user did not explicitly
mark a device as unmanaged. But NetworkManager will ignore the profile,
as the user might resonably desire. No need to warn about that.
