nm_device_get_device_type would report the device type as it was send on
DBus, while fetching the property would mean that only a known device
types is reported.
Make both results consistent by coercing in nm_device_get_device_type
rather than when setting the property.
The device type was set to the GType rather than a new value in the
NMDeviceType enum.
Add the corresponding enum entry, fix the device type and set the
routing priority to the same value as generic devices.
A NetworkManager client requires an API to validate and decode
a base64 secret -- like it is used by WireGuard. If we don't have
this as part of the API, it's inconvenient. Expose it.
Rename it from _nm_utils_wireguard_decode_key(), to give it a more
general name.
Also, rename _nm_utils_wireguard_normalize_key() to
nm_utils_base64secret_normalize(). But this one we keep as internal
API. The user will care more about validating and decoding the base64
key. To convert the key back to base64, we don't need a public API in
libnm.
This is another ABI change since 1.16-rc1.
For now only add the core settings, no peers' data.
To support peers and the allowed-ips of the peers is more complicated
and will be done later. It's more complicated because these are nested
lists (allowed-ips) inside a list (peers). That is quite unusual and to
conveniently support that in D-Bus API, in keyfile format, in libnm,
and nmcli, is a effort.
Also, it's further complicated by the fact that each peer has a secret (the
preshared-key). Thus we probably need secret flags for each peer, which
is a novelty as well (until now we require a fixed set of secrets per
profile that is well known).
Previously, Wi-Fi scans uses polkit action
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control". This is introduced
in commit 5e3e19d0. But in a system with restrict polkit rules, for
example "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control" was set as
auth_admin. When you open the network panel of GNOME Control Center, a
polkit dialog will keep showing up asking for admin password, as GNOME
Control Center scans the Wi-Fi list every 15 seconds.
Fix that by adding a new polkit action
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.scan" so that distributions can
add specific rule to allow Wi-Fi scans.

While this can be considered a property of the P2P device, the API will
require setting it through the settings when activating a connection. As
such, having a (read only) property on the device is not very useful, so
remove it again.
This is a protocol specific extension to Wi-Fi frames which need to be
set in certain conditions. The P2P device will use this to update the
corresponding wpa_supplicant property.

Fixes: c3efedf54b
We need to build libnm-core first. Especially, because libnm
sources require the "libnm-core/nm-core-enum-types.h" header
to be generated first.
Add a missing dependency.
"libnm/fake-typelib/meson.build" modifies the variable "sources",
which is defined by the outer "libnm/meson.build" file.
That is confusing. If a variable is not only used within one "meson.build"
file alone, it should have a unique name. Rename the variable to
"libnm_utils_sources".
Also avoid local variable "deps" which is only used at one place.
For static functions inside a module, the compiler determines on its own
whether to inline the function.
Also, "inline" was used at some places that don't immediatly look like
candidates for inlining. It was most likely a copy&paste error.
These were dropped earlier as new sync API must not be the primary way
of calling new routines in libnm.
In this particular case the DBus calls are simple and unlikely to fail.
Most users should use the normal async API and call the finish routine.
However, if the API user is not interested in the result, then they can
simply set the callback to NULL to ignore it.
[thaller@redhat.com: added options argument to start-find method]
Like also done for autotools, create and use intermediate libraries
from "shared/nm-utils/".
Also, replace "shared_dep" by "shared_nm_utils_base_dep". We don't
need super fine-grained selection of what we link. We can always
link in "shared/libnm-utils-base.a", and let the linker throw away
unsed parts.
Always always when we want a linked list, CList is a better choice than
GSList. It's more convenient to use and is more efficient.
Also, use GSlice allocator for GetSecretRequest data.
The callback must be invoked, as also documented.
Otherwise, the tracked info gets leaked.
Let NMSecretAgentOld (the caller) be a bit resilient against
bugs in the client, and avoid a crash by prematurely remove
the request-info from the pending list. That does not fully
workaround the bug (it leads to a leak), but at least it does
not cause other "severe" issues.
The leak was present earlier as well.
We named the types inconsistently:
- "p2p-wireless" ("libnm-core/nm-setting-p2p-wireless.h")
- "p2p" ("libnm/nm-p2p-peer.h")
- "p2p-wifi" ("src/devices/wifi/nm-device-p2p-wifi.h")
It seems to me, "libnm/nm-p2p-peer.h" should be qualified with a "Wi-Fi"
specific name. It's not just peer-to-peer, it's Wi-Fi P2P.
Yes, there is an inconsistency now, because there is already
"libnm/nm-access-point.h".
It seems to me (from looking at the internet), that the name "Wi-Fi P2P"
is more common than "P2P Wi-Fi" -- although both are used. There is also
the name "Wi-Fi Direct". But it's not clear which name should be
preferred here, so stick to "Wi-Fi P2P".
In this first commit only rename the files. The following commit will
rename the content.
Having synchronous API is wrong, or at least questionable.
Granted, libnm isn't currently very good about the exact order
of things to happen. However synchronous API by design delays events
while waiting for the response and hence messes up the ordering.
Maybe synchronous API should not be added to libnm.
Or at least, if we have synchronous API, we certainly need an asynchrnous
variant as well (which is still missing).
As synchronous API is not preferred, it should also be named
nm_some_thing_sync(), accompanied by nm_some_thing() and
nm_some_thing_finish(). The name for the synchronous method should be the
odd one and we shouldn't have an nm_some_thing_async(). Yes, libnm is not
consistend about that.
I am going to drop this API for the moment.
- fix leaking hw_address in finalize().
- reorder code.
- avoid double tabs in GObject property definitions.
- hide struct definitions from header.
- don't use signal slots in class structure.
- use NM_GOBJECT_PROPERTIES_DEFINE_BASE().
- add missing NM_AVAILABLE_IN_1_16 annotations.
Don't reallocate peers-array nor set it to %NULL. Instead,
just emit the signal for the peers and take them out one-by-one.
I am slightly surprised, that the peers array does not need to hold
a reference on the NMP2PPeer instances. But that seems intentional.
I think, the libnm code here should be significantly reworked, but
that is for another time.
Also, delay clearing the pointers until finalize() method. For
the most part, it shouldn't make a difference. Still avoid having
the instance in a badly defined state during dispose() (which
theoretically could be called multiple times).
Add a "a{sv}" output argument to "AddAndActivate2" D-Bus API.
"AddAndActivate2" replaces "AddAndActivate" with more options.
It also has a dictionary argument to be forward compatible so that we
hopefully won't need an "AddAndActivate3". However, it lacked a similar
output dictionary. Add it for future extensibility. I think this is
really to workaround a shortcoming of D-Bus, which does provide strong
typing and type information about its API, but does not allow to extend
an existing API in a backward compatible manner. So we either resort to
Method(), Method2(), Method3() variants, or a catch-all variant with a
generic "a{sv}" input/output argument.
In libnm, rename "nm_client_add_and_activate_connection_options()" to
"nm_client_add_and_activate_connection2()". I think libnm API should have
an obvious correspondence with D-Bus API. Or stated differently, if
"AddAndActivateOptions" would be a better name, then the D-Bus API should
be renamed. We should prefer one name over the other, but regardless
of which is preferred, the naming for D-Bus and libnm API should
correspond.
In this case, I do think that AddAndActivate2() is a better name than
AddAndActivateOptions(). Hence I rename the libnm API.
Also, unless necessary, let libnm still call "AddAndActivate" instead of
"AddAndActivate2". Our backward compatibility works the way that libnm
requires a server version at least as new as itself. As such, libnm
theoretically could assume that server version is new enough to support
"AddAndActivate2" and could always use the more powerful variant.
However, we don't need to break compatibility intentionally and for
little gain. Here, it's easy to let libnm also handle old server API, by
continuing to use "AddAndActivate" for nm_client_add_and_activate_connection().
Note that during package update, we don't restart the currently running
NetworkManager instance. In such a scenario, it can easily happen that
nmcli/libnm is newer than the server version. Let's try a bit harder
to not break that.
Changes as discussed in [1].

It's not yet used, but it will be. We will need nm_sd_utils_unbase64mem()
to strictly validate WireGuard settings, which contain keys in base64 encoding.
Note that we also need a stub implementation for logging. This will do
nothing for all logging from "libnm-systemd-shared.a". This makes
sense because "libnm.so" as a library should not log directly. Also,
"libnm.so" will only use a small portion of "libnm-systemd-shared.a" which
doesn't log anything. Thus this code is unused and dropped by the linker
with "--gc-sections".
