CID 59391 (#1 of 1): Copy into fixed size buffer (STRING_OVERFLOW)
31. fixed_size_dest: You might overrun the 16-character fixed-size string be.ifspec.spec.ifname by copying priv->nas_ifname without checking the length.
(cherry picked from commit 23fa1b3272)
Warned by coverity: we assert above that brfd is -1, so we must always
restore it to -1 in the error case.
Technically, not a problem because socket() is documented to return
only -1 on error already. Apparently coverity does not believe that.

- use nm_g_variant_unref_floating()
- rename _lldp_attr_take_str_ptr() to _lldp_attr_set_str_take().
The new name has the same "_lldp_attr_set_" prefix as other setters.
Also, with the previous name it is unclear why it takes a "str-ptr".
- setting the same attribute multiple times, ignores all but the first
value. Avoid cloning the string in that case, and explicitly choose
the set or take function.

Not all masters type have a platform link and so it's wrong to check
for it to decide whether the slave should be really released. Move the
check to master devices that need it (bond, bridge and team).
OVS ports don't need the check because they don't call to platform to
remove a slave.

We set nm-owned to indicate whether a software device was created by
NM or it was pre-existing. When checking the existence, we must verify
also whether the link type is compatible with the device, otherwise it
is possible to match unrelated interfaces. For example, when checking
for the existence of an ovs-bridge (which is not compatible with any
platform link) we could match a unrelated platform link with the same
name.

(cherry picked from commit 3cb4b36261)
With "wireguard.ip4-auto-default-route" and "wireguard.ip6-auto-default-route",
NetworkManager automatically adds policy routing rules for the default
route.
For that, it needs to pick (up to) two numbers:
- the fwmark. This is used both for WireGuard's fwmark setting and
is also the number of the routing table where the default-route is
added.
- the rule priority. NetworkManager adds two policy routing rules, and
we need to place them somewhere before the default rules (at 32766).
Previously, we looked at exiting platform configuration and picked
numbers that were not yet used. However, during restart of
NetworkManager, we leave the interface up and after restart we will
take over the previous configuration. At that point, we need to choose
the same fwmark/priority, otherwise the configuration changes.
But since we picked numbers that were not yet used, we would always choose
different numbers. For routing rules that meant that after restart a second
pair of rules was added.
We possibly could store this data in the device's state-file. But that
is complex. Instead, just pick numbers deterministically based on the
connection's UUID.
If the picked numbers are not suitable, then the user can still work
around that:
- for fwmark, the user can explicitly configure wireguard.fwmark
setting.
- for the policy routes, the user can explicitly add the rules with
the desired priorirites (arguably, currently the default-route cannot
be added like a regular route, so the table cannot be set. Possibly
the user would have to add two /1 routes instead with
suppress_prefixlength=1).
(cherry picked from commit cfb497e499)
We call _auto_default_route_init() at various places, for example during
coerce_route_table(). We cannot be sure that we don't call it before
activation starts (before stage1) or after device-cleanup.
That means, upon activation, we need to clear the state first. Do that in
act_stage1_prepare().

(cherry picked from commit 47fc1a4293)
For WireGuard (like for all IP-tunnels and IP-based VPNs), the IP addresses of
the peers must be reached outside the tunnel/VPN itself.
For VPN connections, NetworkManager usually adds a direct /32 route to
the external VPN gateway to the underlying device. For WireGuard that is
not done, because injecting a route to another device is ugly and error
prone. Worse: WireGuard with automatic roaming and multiple peers makes this
more complicated.
This is commonly a problem when setting the default-route via the VPN,
but there are also other subtle setups where special care must be taken
to prevent such routing loops.
WireGuard's wg-quick provides a simple, automatic solution by adding two policy
routing rules and relying on the WireGuard packets having a fwmark set (see [1]).
Let's also do that. Add new properties "wireguard.ip4-auto-default-route"
and "wireguard.ip6-auto-default-route" to enable/disable this. Note that
the default value lets NetworkManager automatically choose whether to
enable it (depending on whether there are any peers that have a default
route). This means, common scenarios should now work well without additional
configuration.
Note that this is also a change in behavior and upon package upgrade
NetworkManager may start adding policy routes (if there are peers that
have a default-route). This is a change in behavior, as the user already
clearly had this setup working and configured some working solution
already.
The new automatism picks the rule priority automatically and adds the
default-route to the routing table that has the same number as the fwmark.
If any of this is unsuitable, then the user is free to disable this
automatism. Note that since 1.18.0 NetworkManager supports policy routing (*).
That means, what this automatism does can be also achieved via explicit
configuration of the profile, which gives the user more flexibility to
adjust all parameters explicitly).
(*) but only since 1.20.0 NetworkManager supports the "suppress_prefixlength"
rule attribute, which makes it impossible to configure exactly this rule-based
solution with 1.18.0 NetworkManager.

mesh connections can be started at any time but prevent a connection
using ip auto configuration to start, if no mesh point providing the
network is in range.
To allow completion for mesh connections channel and band need to be
set. This is only done if both values are absent. It does not check
existing values against a given ap_freq. This maybe changed to throw an
error and detect a possible conflict. Any other check is left to verify
step of connection.
This change allows to use ap freq during complete. For tests 0 is passed
as frequency for now. This needs to be changed if completion of freq
should be tested.

bss mode mesh is available since hostap_2_6-729-g213eb1885
check mesh connections are compatible with detected mode.
deactivate switches the device back to infrastructure mode for
compatibility reasons. This will prevent supplicant from de-assosiating
non-infrastructure connections as the interface goes down.
Disconnect asynchronously and wait for the result. This is required for
e.g. 802.11s mesh.
First of all, the generated profile also gets generated as keyfile to
/run, thereby it looses the read-only flag (because this flag gets lost
when storing the profile to keyfile).
Second, I don't think we should artificially limit the capabilities
of the generated profile. If the user chooses to modify/delete it, so
just allow it.
Via Update2() D-Bus API there are three ways how a profile can be stored
(or migrated) to in-memory:
- NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_IN_MEMORY
- NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_IN_MEMORY_DETACHED
- NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_IN_MEMORY_ONLY
With the recent rework of settings I dropped NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_IN_MEMORY
and it had the same meaning as NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_IN_MEMORY_DETACHED.
However, the way NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_IN_MEMORY_DETACHED was implemented is
problematic. The problem is that it leaves the profile on disk but creates an
in-memory representation which shadows the persistent storage. Later,
when storing the profile to disk again, a new filename is chosen.
This allows via D-Bus API to toggle between NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_IN_MEMORY_DETACHED
and NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_TO_DISK, and thereby pilling up profiles on disk.
Also, there is no D-Bus API to do anything sensible with these leaked, shadowed
profiles on disk.
Note that if we have a read-only profile in /usr/lib or in ifupdown
plugin, then the problem is not made any worse. That is, because via D-Bus
API such profiles can be made in-memory, and afterwards stored to /etc.
Thereby too the profile gets duplicate on disk, but this game only
works once. Afterwards, you cannot repeat it to create additional
profiles on disk. It means, you can only leak profiles once, and only
if they already exist in read-only storage to begin with.
This problem with NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_IN_MEMORY_DETACHED already existed
before the settings-delegate-storage rework, and is unrelated to whether in-memory
profiles now happen to be persisted to /run.
Note that NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_IN_MEMORY_ONLY is simple and does not suffer
from this problem. When you move a profile to in-memory-only, it gets deleted from
persistent storage and no duplication happens.
The problem is that NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_IN_MEMORY_DETACHED used to
forget about the profile that it shadows, and that is wrong.
So, first re-add proper support for NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_IN_MEMORY. This
works by remembering the "shadowed-storage" path for in-memory profiles.
When later saving such a profile to disk again, the shadowed-storage
will be re-used. Likewise, when deleting such a profile, the shadowed
storage will be deleted.
Note that we keep NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_IN_MEMORY_DETACHED and it
also remembers the shadowed storage (but without "owning" it). That means,
when such a profile gets saved to disk again, the orginal storage is
reused too. As such, during future updates it behaves just like
NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_IN_MEMORY. The difference is when deleting
such a profile. In this case, the profile is left on storage and a
tombstone gets written. So, how is this better than before and why even
keep this complicated flag?
First, we keep this flag because we really want the ansible role to be
able to do in-memory changes only. That implies being able to delete a
profile from NetworkManager's view, but not from persistent storage. Without
this flag there is no way to do that. You can only modify an on-disk profile
by shadowing it, but you could not delete it form NetworkManager's view
while keeping it on disk.
The new form of NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_IN_MEMORY_DETACHED is safe and avoids
the duplication problem because also for tombstones it remembers the original
"shadowed-storage". That is, when the profile gets recreated later via
D-Bus API AddConnection, then the re-created profile will still reference
and reuse the shadowed storage that it had before deletion.
It should be possible to add a profile with autoconnect blocked form the
start. Update2() has a %NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_BLOCK_AUTOCONNECT flag to
block autoconnect, and so we need something similar when adding a connection.
As the existing AddConnection() and AddConnectionUnsaved() API is not
extensible, add AddConnection2() that has flags and room for additional
arguments.
Then add and implement the new flag %NM_SETTINGS_ADD_CONNECTION2_FLAG_BLOCK_AUTOCONNECT
for AddConnection2().
Note that libnm's nm_client_add_connection2() API can completely replace
the existing nm_client_add_connection_async() call. In particular, it
will automatically prefer to call the D-Bus methods AddConnection() and
AddConnectionUnsaved(), in order to work with server versions older than
1.20. The purpose of this is that when upgrading the package, the
running NetworkManager might still be older than the installed libnm.
Anyway, so since nm_client_add_connection2_finish() also has a result
output, the caller needs to decide whether he cares about that result.
Hence it has an argument ignore_out_result, which allows to fallback to
the old API. One might argue that a caller who doesn't care about the
output results while still wanting to be backward compatible, should
itself choose to call nm_client_add_connection_async() or
nm_client_add_connection2(). But instead, it's more convenient if the
new function can fully replace the old one, so that the caller does not
need to switch which start/finish method to call.

nm_config_set_no_auto_default_for_device() is called by NMSettings,
so it makes sense that also NMSettings checks whether the device is
blocked.
Of course, there is little difference in practice.
The only downside is that most device types don't implement
new_default_connection(). So the previous form performed the
cheaper check first. On the other hand, we do expect to have
profiles for the devices anyway.
Only NMDeviceEthernet implements new_default_connection(). Anyway, it
makes only sense to do this precheck by the caller first, and not by
each implementation.
Completely rework how settings plugin handle connections and how
NMSettings tracks the list of connections.
Previously, settings plugins would return objects of (a subtype of) type
NMSettingsConnection. The NMSettingsConnection was tightly coupled with
the settings plugin. That has a lot of downsides.
Change that. When changing this basic relation how settings connections
are tracked, everything falls appart. That's why this is a huge change.
Also, since I have to largely rewrite the settings plugins, I also
added support for multiple keyfile directories, handle in-memory
connections only by keyfile plugin and (partly) use copy-on-write NMConnection
instances. I don't want to spend effort rewriting large parts while
preserving the old way, that anyway should change. E.g. while rewriting ifcfg-rh,
I don't want to let it handle in-memory connections because that's not right
long-term.
--
If the settings plugins themself create subtypes of NMSettingsConnection
instances, then a lot of knowledge about tracking connections moves
to the plugins.
Just try to follow the code what happend during nm_settings_add_connection().
Note how the logic is spread out:
- nm_settings_add_connection() calls plugin's add_connection()
- add_connection() creates a NMSettingsConnection subtype
- the plugin has to know that it's called during add-connection and
not emit NM_SETTINGS_PLUGIN_CONNECTION_ADDED signal
- NMSettings calls claim_connection() which hocks up the new
NMSettingsConnection instance and configures the instance
(like calling nm_settings_connection_added()).
This summary does not sound like a lot, but try to follow that code. The logic
is all over the place.
Instead, settings plugins should have a very simple API for adding, modifying,
deleting, loading and reloading connections. All the plugin does is to return a
NMSettingsStorage handle. The storage instance is a handle to identify a profile
in storage (e.g. a particular file). The settings plugin is free to subtype
NMSettingsStorage, but it's not necessary.
There are no more events raised, and the settings plugin implements the small
API in a straightforward manner.
NMSettings now drives all of this. Even NMSettingsConnection has now
very little concern about how it's tracked and delegates only to NMSettings.
This should make settings plugins simpler. Currently settings plugins
are so cumbersome to implement, that we avoid having them. It should not be
like that and it should be easy, beneficial and lightweight to create a new
settings plugin.
Note also how the settings plugins no longer care about duplicate UUIDs.
Duplicated UUIDs are a fact of life and NMSettings must handle them. No
need to overly concern settings plugins with that.
--
NMSettingsConnection is exposed directly on D-Bus (being a subtype of
NMDBusObject) but it was also a GObject type provided by the settings
plugin. Hence, it was not possible to migrate a profile from one plugin to
another.
However that would be useful when one profile does not support a
connection type (like ifcfg-rh not supporting VPN). Currently such
migration is not implemented except for migrating them to/from keyfile's
run directory. The problem is that migrating profiles in general is
complicated but in some cases it is important to do.
For example checkpoint rollback should recreate the profile in the right
settings plugin, not just add it to persistent storage. This is not yet
properly implemented.
--
Previously, both keyfile and ifcfg-rh plugin implemented in-memory (unsaved)
profiles, while ifupdown plugin cannot handle them. That meant duplication of code
and a ifupdown profile could not be modified or made unsaved.
This is now unified and only keyfile plugin handles in-memory profiles (bgo #744711).
Also, NMSettings is aware of such profiles and treats them specially.
In particular, NMSettings drives the migration between persistent and non-persistent
storage.
Note that a settings plugins may create truly generated, in-memory profiles.
The settings plugin is free to generate and persist the profiles in any way it
wishes. But the concept of "unsaved" profiles is now something explicitly handled
by keyfile plugin. Also, these "unsaved" keyfile profiles are persisted to file system
too, to the /run directory. This is great for two reasons: first of all, all
profiles from keyfile storage in fact have a backing file -- even the
unsaved ones. It also means you can create "unsaved" profiles in /run
and load them with `nmcli connection load`, meaning there is a file
based API for creating unsaved profiles.
The other advantage is that these profiles now survive restarting
NetworkManager. It's paramount that restarting the daemon is as
non-disruptive as possible. Persisting unsaved files to /run improves
here significantly.
--
In the past, NMSettingsConnection also implemented NMConnection interface.
That was already changed a while ago and instead users call now
nm_settings_connection_get_connection() to delegate to a
NMSimpleConnection. What however still happened was that the NMConnection
instance gets never swapped but instead the instance was modified with
nm_connection_replace_settings_from_connection(), clear-secrets, etc.
Change that and treat the NMConnection instance immutable. Instead of modifying
it, reference/clone a new instance. This changes that previously when somebody
wanted to keep a reference to an NMConnection, then the profile would be cloned.
Now, it is supposed to be safe to reference the instance directly and everybody
must ensure not to modify the instance. nmtst_connection_assert_unchanging()
should help with that.
The point is that the settings plugins may keep references to the
NMConnection instance, and so does the NMSettingsConnection. We want
to avoid cloning the instances as long as they are the same.
Likewise, the device's applied connection can now also be referenced
instead of cloning it. This is not yet done, and possibly there are
further improvements possible.
--
Also implement multiple keyfile directores /usr/lib, /etc, /run (rh #1674545,
bgo #772414).
It was always the case that multiple files could provide the same UUID
(both in case of keyfile and ifcfg-rh). For keyfile plugin, if a profile in
read-only storage in /usr/lib gets modified, then it gets actually stored in
/etc (or /run, if the profile is unsaved).
--
While at it, make /etc/network/interfaces profiles for ifupdown plugin reloadable.

4 properties are not really relevant for an already activated connection
or it makes not sense to change them. These are connection.id, connection.uuid,
connection.autoconnect and connection.stable-id.
For convenience, we allow to reapply these. This way, one can take
a different setting (e.g. with a different connection.id or
connection.uuid) and reapply them, but such changes are silently
ignored.
However this was done wrongly. Instead of reverting the change to the new
applied connection, we would change the input connection.
This is bad, for example with
nmcli connection up uuid cb922f18-e99a-49c6-b200-1678b5070a82
nmcli connection modify cb922f18-e99a-49c6-b200-1678b5070a82 con-name "bogus"
nmcli device reapply eth0
the last re-apply would reset the settings-connection's connection ID to
what was before, while accepting the new name on the applied-connection
(while it should have been rejected).
Fixes: bf3b3d444c ('device: avoid changing immutable properties during reapply')
IP addresses, routes, TC and QDiscs are all tied to a certain interface.
So when NetworkManager manages an interface, it can be confident that
all related entires should be managed, deleted and modified by NetworkManager.
Routing policy rules are global. For that we have NMPRulesManager which
keeps track of whether NetworkManager owns a rule. This allows multiple
connection profiles to specify the same rule, and NMPRulesManager can
consolidate this information to know whether to add or remove the rule.
NMPRulesManager would also support to explicitly block a rule by
tracking it with negative priority. However that is still unused at
the moment. All that devices do is to add rules (track with positive
priority) and remove them (untrack) once the profile gets deactivated.
As rules are not exclusively owned by NetworkManager, NetworkManager
tries not to interfere with rules that it knows nothing about. That
means in particular, when NetworkManager starts it will "weakly track"
all rules that are present. "weakly track" is mostly interesting for two
cases:
- when NMPRulesManager had the same rule explicitly tracked (added) by a
device, then deactivating the device will leave the rule in place.
- when NMPRulesManager had the same rule explicitly blocked (tracked
with negative priority), then it would restore the rule when that
block gets removed (as said, currently nobody actually does this).
Note that when restarting NetworkManager, then the device may stay and
the rules kept. However after restart, NetworkManager no longer knows
that it previously added this route, so it would weakly track it and
never remove them again.
That is a problem. Avoid that, by whenever explicitly tracking a rule we
also make sure to no longer weakly track it. Most likely this rule was
indeed previously managed by NetworkManager. If this was really a rule
added by externally, then the user really should choose distinct
rule priorities to avoid such conflicts altogether.
The previous code returned that the device was available when it had
only unmanaged-flags that can be overridden by user, without actually
considering the @flags argument.

Drop nm_platform_link_get_address_as_bytes() and introduce
nmp_link_address_get_as_bytes() so that it becomes possible to obtain
also the broadcast address without an additional lookup of the link.
The DHCP client is not meant to use the assigned address before DAD
has completed successfully, if enabled. And if DAD fails, the server
should be notified with a DECLINE, in order to potentially blacklist
the address.
Currently, none of the clients support this, but add the required
callbacks, and allow clients to opt in if they want.
NMDevicePPP only handles connections with the pppoe.parent property
set. match_connection() already checks this when we creating a new
device. We should also perform the same check in
check_connection_compatible().

- most connections are not Wi-Fi connections and thus don't have a seen-bssids
list. Only create the seen_bssids hash when required. This avoids allocating the
hash in common cases and avoids checking the hash for the content (which is often
empty).
- nm_settings_connection_get_seen_bssids() should return a sorted list.
Leaving the sort order undefined is ugly.
- in try_fill_ssid_for_hidden_ap(), we need to check all
NMSettingsConnection instances whether they know this bssid.
Reorder the checks, to first call nm_settings_connection_has_seen_bssid(), which
is faster and in most cases returns a negative result (shortcutting
the rest).
nm_connection_verify() returns success for fully valid (normalized)
connections and also connections that are NM_SETTING_VERIFY_NORMALIZABLE.
We really want to fully normalize the profiles during add-and-activate.
NMConnectivity can now distinguish between LIMITED and NONE connectivity
and it does so based on whether IP addresses and routes are configured.
Previously, NMConnectivity would not differenciate between limited and
no connectivity, which is why NMDevice added some additional logic on top
to coerce LIMITED to NONE (if the device is not logically connected).
But note that the connectivity state (whether a network is reachable on
an interface) depends on what is configured in kernel and whether the
internet is reachable on that interface. It does not depend on the
logical device state.
On the other hand, whether the device is configured in a manner to have
connectivity depends on the logical state of the device (as NetworkManager
is configuring the device).
So, in many cases, the logical state and the connectivity state agree now,
but for the right reasons.
This reverts commit 4c4dbcb78d.
If the interface has no carrier, no addresses or no routes there is no
point in starting a connectivity check on it because it will fail.
Moreover, doing the check on a device without routes causes the
addition of a negative entry in the ARP table for each of the
addresses associated with the connectivity check host; this can lead
to poor network performances.
