The problem is that updating the metered value of a shared connection is
not implemented. The user needs to fully reactivate the profile for changes
to take effect.
That is unfortunate, especially because reapplying the route metric
works in other other cases.
Add a new CON_DEFAULT() macro that places a property name into a
special section used at runtime to check whether it is a supported
connection default.
Unfortunately, this mechanism doesn't work for plugins so we have to
enumerate the connection defaults from plugins in the daemon using
another CON_DEFAULT_NOP() macro.
Correct the spelling across the *entire* tree, including translations,
comments, etc. It's easier that way.
Even the places where it's not exposed to the user, such as tests, so
that we learn how is it spelled correctly.
g_object_set_property() cannot fail nor signal an error reason when
invalid arguments are passed. Use our wrapper nm_g_object_set_property()
instead.
Note that the input argument comes from untrusted (although authenticated)
source.
"bind" specifically binds the lifetime of the activation (NMActiveConnection).
In combination with "persist=volatile", the lifetime of the NMSettingsConnection
is indirectly bound to the NMActiveConnection. But still these concepts make sense
independently.
In the future, it may make sense to also bind the lifetime of the NMSettingsConnection
to the D-Bus client. Hence, rename the option to allow for the distinction.
Also, belatedly fix libnm comment about "bind" only working with
"persist" "volatile".

- use nm_streq() instead of g_strcmp0(). I think streq() is easier
to understand.
- the strings that are checked here must never be %NULL, because they come
from string variants. Use nm_streq() instead of nm_streq0() or g_strcmp0().
- don't add a "." to the GError messages. GError messages are commonly
embedded in a larger message, and shoult not themself contain the dot.
Previously, @bind_lifetime was a string. While parsing the @options, we
would set the string to the content of the parsed GVariant. Note that
the GVariant is unrefed before we access @bind_lifetime, thus it's
not guaranteed that it will still exist.
Arguably, the string GVariant's lifetime is tied to the @options
dictionary, so indeed it lives long enough. But that is not-obviously
the case.
Fix that by using a boolean instead. Also, rename @bind_lifetime to
@bind_dbus_client.
For one, there was a bug here: we cannot "goto error" without setting
the @error variable.
Anyway, restricting "bind" "dbus-client" only to profiles that are
"persist" mode "volatile" seems wrong. The "bind" option as it is,
limits the lifetime of the active-connection. This has no direct relation
with the lifetime of the setting-connection. Indeed, if the
settings-connection's lifetime is itself set to "volatile", then
it will indeed go away with the active-connection. However, these
two concepts are not strictly related.
In the future, we might add an option to limite the lifetime of
a settings-connection to a D-Bus client ("bind-setting"). Possibly
we should thus rename "bind" to "bind-activation", to make the
distinction clearer.
This allows binding the lifetime of the created connection to the
existance of the requesting dbus client. This feature is useful if one
has a service specific connection (e.g. P2P wireless) which will not be
useful without the specific service.
This is simply a mechanism to ensure proper connection cleanup if the
requesting service has a failure.
This option allows setting the rules for how long the connection should
be stored. Valid values are "disk" (the default), "memory" and
"volatile". If "memory" or "volatile" is selected, the connection will
not be saved to disk and with "volatile" it will be automatically
removed when it is deactivated again.
This adds a new routine to be able to handle an arbitrary set of further
options for AddAndActivateConnection. Note that no options are accepted
for now.
When a device is unmanaged, an explicit activation request can
still activate it. In particular, that is the case for
$ nmcli connection up "$PROFILE" ifname "$DEVICE"
It is also the case, for plain
$ nmcli connection up "$PROFILE"
where NetworkManager searches for a suitable device -- depending on
multi-connect setting of the profile.
The idea is, that a profile with "multi-connect=single" is expected
to sufficently and uniquely match a device, based on matching properties
like "connection.interface-name". In that case, an explicit activation
request from the user shows the intent to manage the device.
Note that it's hard to understand whether the profile really uniquely
selects a particular device. For example, if the profile doesn't specify
"connection.interface-name", it might still uniquely identify
an ethernet device, if you only have one such device.
On the other hand, with "connection.multi-connect" other than "single",
it is very much expected that the profile does not strictly match
one device.
Change the behavior here for multi-connect profiles. This allows the
user to block individual devices from activation via
$ nmcli device set "$DEVICE" managed not
A subsequent
$ nmcli connection up "$MULTI_PROFILE"
will not consider "$DEVICE" as suitable candidate for activation.
Likewise, in the future we may want to add a
$ nmcli connection up --all "$MULTI_PROFILE"
command, to activate the profile on all suitable device.
In that case again, unmanaged devices probably also should be skipped
for multi-connect profiles.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1639254
With
$ nmcli connection up "$PROFILE" ifname "$DEVICE"
it's clear that the user means the particular device. That also
is taken as a indication to make $DEVICE as managed, in case it was
unmanaged before. So, this command implies a previous
$ nmcli device set $DEVICE managed yes
On the other hand, if the user just issues
$ nmcli connection up "$PROFILE"
without a particular device, then we should prefer devices which
are marked as managed instead of unmanaged once.
Likewise, we should consider the device's state when selecting
a device. This means, when activating a profile which is activatable on
multiple devices, it will now prefer devices which are not already
active. The exception to this is that if the profile itself is already
active (and multi-connect "single"), then it will prefer to re-activate
the profile on the same device. This was done previously already. What's
new is that if the the profile is not multi-connect "single", the said
exception no longer applies, and we prefer to activate the profile on a
hitherto unactivated device.

Nothing changes practically, as the NMDevice still starts this with
AF_UNSPEC. That is going to change in the following commit.
The ugly part:
priv->concheck_x[0] in few places. I believe we shouldn't be using union
aliasing here, and instead of indexing the v4/v6 arrays by a boolean it
should be an enum. I'm not fixing it here, but I eventually plan to if
this gets an ACK.
Before:
"manager: check_if_startup_complete returns FALSE because of eth0"
Now:
"manager: startup complete is waiting for device 'eth0' (autoactivate)"
Also, the logging line is now more a human readable sentence, but still
follows the same pattern as later
"manager: startup complete"
Meaning: grepping for "startup complete" becomes more helpful because
one first finds the reasons why startup-complete is not yet reached,
followed by the moment when it is reached.
We need a mode that:
* doesn't leave processes behind
* doesn't force an internal dhclient
* doesn't auto-generate default connections
* doesn't write out files into libdir, only /run
The original configure-and-quit mode doesn't really fit the initrd use. But
it's proobably not a good idea to just change its behavior.
Especially with configure-and-quit, it's easy to encounter a condition,
where the device reached a failed state, policy decides to quit, but the
active connection is not yet torn down from the device.
Upon the next start NetworkManager would think the connection succeeded
activating.
On networked boot we need to somehow communicate this to the early boot
machinery. Sadly, no DBus there and we're running in configure-and-quit
mode.
Abusing the state file for this sounds almost reasonable and is
reasonably straightforward thing to do.
When NM has to rebuild the platform cache, it first generates ADD and
then REMOVE events for the links. So, if an interface is removed and
readded, platform will emit the ADDED event with a new ifindex while
the device with old ifindex still exists.
In such case the manager currently updates the device's ifindex but
this causes problems as the DNS manager tracks configurations by their
ifindex and so the configurations for the old device will become
stale.
Fix this by removing the device and adding it again when we detect a
change of ifindex on a device that already had valid one.

NMConnection is an interface, which is implemented by the types
NMSimpleConnection (libnm-core), NMSettingsConnection (src) and
NMRemoteConnection (libnm).
NMSettingsConnection does a lot of things already:
1) it "is-a" NMDBusObject and exports the API of a connection profile
on D-Bus
2) it interacts with NMSettings and contains functionality
for tracking the profiles.
3) it is the base-class of types like NMSKeyfileConnection and
NMIfcfgConnection. These handle how the profile is persisted
on disk.
4) it implements NMConnection interface, to itself track the
settings of the profile.
3) and 4) would be better implemented via delegation than inheritance.
Address 4) and don't let NMSettingsConnection implemente the NMConnection
interface. Instead, a settings-connection references now a NMSimpleConnection
instance, to which it delegates for keeping the actual profiles.
Advantages:
- by delegating, there is a clearer separation of what
NMSettingsConnection does. For example, in C we often required
casts from NMSettingsConnection to NMConnection. NMConnection
is a very trivial object with very little logic. When we have
a NMConnection instance at hand, it's good to know that it is
*only* that simple instead of also being an entire
NMSettingsConnection instance.
The main purpose of this patch is to simplify the code by separating
the NMConnection from the NMSettingsConnection. We should generally
be aware whether we handle a NMSettingsConnection or a trivial
NMConnection instance. Now, because NMSettingsConnection no longer
"is-a" NMConnection, this distinction is apparent.
- NMConnection is implemented as an interface and we create
NMSimpleConnection instances whenever we need a real instance.
In GLib, interfaces have a performance overhead, that we needlessly
pay all the time. With this change, we no longer require
NMConnection to be an interface. Thus, in the future we could compile
a version of libnm-core for the daemon, where NMConnection is not an
interface but a GObject implementation akin to NMSimpleConnection.
- In the previous implementation, we cannot treat NMConnection immutable
and copy-on-write.
For example, when NMDevice needs a snapshot of the activated
profile as applied-connection, all it can do is clone the entire
NMSettingsConnection as a NMSimpleConnection.
Likewise, when we get a NMConnection instance and want to keep
a reference to it, we cannot do that, because we never know
who also references and modifies the instance.
By separating NMSettingsConnection we could in the future have
NMConnection immutable and copy-on-write, to avoid all unnecessary
clones.
When assuming existing connections, allow the same connection to be
activated on a different device if the connection is multi-connect
capable. Otherwise, when a connection is active on multiple devices
and NM is restarted, we assume only the first instance, and create
in-memory connections for others.
In general, a activatable connection is one that is currently not
active, or supports to be activatable multiple times according to
multi-connect setting. In addition, during autoconnect, a profile
which is marked as multi-connect=manual-multiple will not be avalable.
Hence, add an argument "for_auto_activation".
The code is mostly unused but will be used next (except for connections,
which set connection.multi-connect=multiple).
Update the device state file every time the device is connected,
disconnected, or becomes unmanaged. In this way, NM becomes more
robust against crashes or forced terminations because it can resume
the previous device state seamlessly.
Rename nm_manager_write_device_state() to
nm_manager_write_device_state_all(), and split out the code to write a
single device state to a new function.
Before:
$ nmcli connection up my-wired
Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection.
After:
$ nmcli connection up my-wired
Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection (device eth0 not available because device has no carrier).
This relies on nm_manager_get_best_device_for_connection() giving a
suitable error. That is however a bit complicated, because if no
suitable device is found, it's not immediately clear what is the
exact reason. E.g. if you try to activate a Wi-Fi profile, the
failure reason
"SSID is not visible"
is better than
"Wi-Fi profile cannot activate on ethernet device".
This is controlled by carefully setting the failure codes
NM_UTILS_ERROR_CONNECTION_AVAILABLE_* to indicate an absolute
relevance of the failure. And subsequently, by selecting the failure
with the highest relevance. This might still need some improvements,
for example by reordering checks (so that more relevant failures
are handled first) and tweaking the error relevance.
Before:
$ nmcli connection up my-wired ifname eth0
Error: Connection activation failed: Connection 'my-wired' is not available on the device eth0 at this time.
After:
$ nmcli connection up my-wired ifname eth0
Error: Connection activation failed: Connection 'my-wired' is not available on device eth0 because device has no carrier
Still unused, but will be used to give a better failure reason when
no device is found.
The difficulty here is to select the failure message from the most appropriate
device. This might still need some tweaking by setting the error codes accordingly
and re-ordering checks so that failure cares that are more accurate are handled
first.
Note the special error codes NM_UTILS_ERROR_CONNECTION_AVAILABLE_*.
This will be used to determine, whether the profile is fundamentally
incompatible with the device, or whether just some other properties
mismatch. That information will be importand during a plain `nmcli
connection up`, where NetworkManager searches all devices for a device
to activate. If no device is found (and multiple errors happened),
we want to show the error that is most likely relevant for the user.
Also note, how NMDevice's check_connection_compatible() uses the new
class field "device_class->connection_type_check_compatible" to simplify
checks for compatible profiles.
The error reason is still unused.
We commonly don't use the glib typedefs for char/short/int/long,
but their C types directly.
$ git grep '\<g\(char\|short\|int\|long\|float\|double\)\>' | wc -l
587
$ git grep '\<\(char\|short\|int\|long\|float\|double\)\>' | wc -l
21114
One could argue that using the glib typedefs is preferable in
public API (of our glib based libnm library) or where it clearly
is related to glib, like during
g_object_set (obj, PROPERTY, (gint) value, NULL);
However, that argument does not seem strong, because in practice we don't
follow that argument today, and seldomly use the glib typedefs.
Also, the style guide for this would be hard to formalize, because
"using them where clearly related to a glib" is a very loose suggestion.
Also note that glib typedefs will always just be typedefs of the
underlying C types. There is no danger of glib changing the meaning
of these typedefs (because that would be a major API break of glib).
A simple style guide is instead: don't use these typedefs.
No manual actions, I only ran the bash script:

If a VPN with default route is activated, the Manager's
PrimaryConnection property is not updated to indicate the VPN as
primary connection.
This happens because the PrimaryConnection property gets updated when
the default_ipX_device property of NMPolicy changes, and the primary
connection is set to the activation request currently pending on the
default device. We select the base (for example, ethernet) device as
best device and therefore the NMActRequest active on it is selected as
primary connection.
This patch fixes the problem by properly selecting the VPN as
primary. It seems a better choice to track best active connections
directly from NMPolicy instead of going through two steps.
Commit 10753c3616 ("manager: merge VPN handling into
_new_active_connection()") added a check to fail the activation of
VPNs when a device is passed to ActivateConnection(), since the device
argument is ignored for VPNs.
This broke activating VPNs from nm-applet as nm-applet sets both the
specific_object (parent-connection) and device arguments in the
activation request.
Note that we already check in _new_active_connection() that when a
device is supplied, it matches the device of the parent
connection. Therefore, the check can be dropped.

Internally, the device migth have negative or zero ifindex.
When calling nm_manager_get_device_by_ifindex(), the caller
wants to find a device with a valid ifindex, hence filter
out non-positive values.
This is to support the S5 case, where usually the NM process is
stopped. If we are stopping and WoWLAN is set for the interface,
we do not deconfigure it and keep the connection alive so we
can receive packages that will potentially wake up the system.
Note that for this work, wpa_supplicant needs to be modified too
so it does not deconfigure the wireless interface either when
stopped. The needed patches for wpa_supplicant can be found in
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/hostap/2018-June/038644.html

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.
In nm_manager_get_best_device_for_connection(), not only check whether the first found
active-connection has a device. There might be multiple candidates, in which case iterate
over them and figure out which one is the most suitable.
Also, despite the found @ac has the same settings-connection, it does not
mean that the connection is available on the device. Extend the check and
only return compatible and ready devices. This can easily happen that
the settings-connection was modified in the meantime and no longer is
compatible with the device (despite currently being active on the
device, but with the previous settings).
