For the ipoib connection, it is still considered as valid if the
profile does not set the device name. Also, the ifcfg reader should not
duplicate the checks that `nm_connection_verify()` performs (especially
not wrongly). Therefore, NM should skip validating the DEVICE when
reading the ifcfg file for the ipoib connection.

When writing the p-key setting to the ifcfg file and reading the
setting back, the value has to be consistent. This is not limited to
p-key only, any setting value during the ifcfg write and read also has
to be consistent.
This was probably added in commit cb5606cf1c ('ifcfg-rh:
add support for Infiniband partitions') as this is also what
ifup-ib does ([1]). For NetworkManager profiles however, the
p-key is also valid without the high bit set, so the ifcfg-rh
reader must honor that.

We've been outright ignoring master-slave checks if the link ended up
without a master since commit 2e22880894 ('device: don't remove the
device from master if its link has no master').
This was done to deal with OpenVSwitch port-interface relationship,
where the interface's platform link lacked an actual master in platform
(what matters there is the OVSDB entry), but the fix was too wide.
Let's limit the special case to devices whose were not enslaved to
masters that lack a platform link, which pretty much happens for
OpenVSwitch only.

On netlink API, the attribute is indeed u32. However, this is an ifindex
which in most other kernel APIs and in NetworkManager code is a signed
integer. Note that of course kernel would only ever assign numbers that
are valid ifindexes, thus in the suitable range.

The IFLA_BOND_ACTIVE_SLAVE and IFLA_BOND_PRIMARY are not the same.
If the primary is not set, then that's it. Don't fallback.
Only NetworkManager API deprecated "active-slave" and uses it as
alias for "primary". That does not mean, kernel/netlink does that.

_nm_config_data_log_sort() is used for sorting the groups in the
keyfile during nm_config_data_log(). The idea is to present the keyfile
in a defined, but useful order.
However, it is not a total order. That is, it will return c=0 (equal) for
certain groups, if the pre-existing order in the GKeyFile should be
honored. For example, we want to sort all [device*] sections close to
each other, but we want to preserve their relative order. In that case,
the function would return 0 although the group names differed.
Also, _nm_config_data_log_sort() does not expect to receive duplicate names.
It would return c!=0 for comparing "device" and "device".
This means, _nm_config_data_log_sort() is fine for sorting the input as
we have it. However, it cannot be used to binary search the groups. This
caused that some sections might be duplicated in the `NetworkManager
--print-config` output. Otherwise, it had no bad effects.

When serializing setting properties to GVariant/D-Bus, we usually
omit values that are set to the default. That is done by libnm(-core),
so it happens both on the daemon and client side. That might be
useful to avoid a large number of properties on D-Bus.
Before changing the default value for "ipv6.addr-gen-mode" ([1]), we
would not serialize the previous default value ("stable-privacy").
Now we would serialize the new default value ("default). This change
causes problems.
Scenario 1: have a profile in the daemon with "ipv6.addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy",
have an older daemon version before [1] and a newer client after [1]. Result:
The daemon exposes the profile on D-Bus without the addr-gen-mode
field (because it's the default). To the client, that is interpreted
differently, as "ipv6.addr-gen-mode=default". This is already somewhat
a problem.
More severe is when modifying the profile, the client would now serialize
the value "default" on D-Bus, which the older daemon rejects as invalid.
That means, you could not modify the profile, unless also resetting
addr-gen-mode to "stable-privacy" or "eui64".
You can imagine other scenarios where either the daemon or the client is
before/after change [1] and the addr-gen-mode is set to either "default"
or "stable-privacy". Depending on what scenario you look, that can either be
good or bad.
Scenario 1 is pretty bad, because it means `dnf upgrade NetworkManager
&& nmcli connection modify ...` will fail (if the daemon was not
restated). So try to fix Scenario 1, by also not serializing the new
default value on D-Bus. Of course, some of the scenarios will get
different problems, by exacerbating one side misunderstanding the actually
set value and interpreting a missing value on D-Bus wrongly. But those
problems are likely less severe.
In case both client and daemon are older/newer than [1], it doesn't
matter either way. The problem happens with different version and is
caused by a change of the default value.

The @dracut_NM_vlan_over_team_no_boot sometimes fails, among other
things, because it fails to assume an indicated connection after a
restart.
That seems to happen because after the decision to activate the
indicated connection, the device does not move from DISCONNECTED state
quickly enough. Another assumption recheck runs in between and decides
to generate a connection, because the assume state was already reset
in between.
First start, creates and activates b3a61b68-f744-4a4c-a513-61399c154a67
on vlan0017:
NetworkManager (version 1.41.1-30921.55767cf5.el9) is starting...
(asserts:10000, boot:caf7301a-19cd-498b-b5ba-5d36ee939ffe)
...
settings: update[b3a61b68-f744-4a4c-a513-61399c154a67]: adding connection "vlan0017"
(45113870df0a4cfb/keyfile)
Second start:
NetworkManager (version 1.41.1-30921.55767cf5.el9) is starting...
(after a restart, asserts:10000, boot:caf7301a-19cd-498b-b5ba-5d36ee939ffe)
Assumption attempt successfully picks the right connection and thus
proceeds to reset the assume state:
manager: (vlan0017): assume: will attempt to assume matching connection 'vlan0017'
(b3a61b68-f744-4a4c-a513-61399c154a67) (indicated)
device[c7c5101cf0b73f5f] (vlan0017): assume-state: set guess-assume=0, connection=(null)
Everything great so far, activation of the right connection is enqueued
and the device moves away from unavailable state. However, the
activation can't proceed immediately:
device (vlan0017): state change: unmanaged -> unavailable
(reason 'connection-assumed', sys-iface-state: 'assume')
device (vlan0017): state change: unavailable -> disconnected
(reason 'connection-assumed', sys-iface-state: 'assume')
active-connection[0x55ba1162f1c0]: set device "vlan0017" [0x55ba1163c4f0]
device[c7c5101cf0b73f5f] (vlan0017): queue activation request waiting for carrier
Now another assumption attempt is done. The original assume state is
gone, so a connection is generated:
platform-linux: UDEV event: action 'add' subsys 'net' device 'vlan0017' (6); seqnum=1959
device[c7c5101cf0b73f5f] (vlan0017): queued link change for ifindex 6
manager: (vlan0017): assume: generated connection 'vlan0017' (57627119-8c20-4f9e-bf4d-4fc427b4a6a9)
keyfile: commit: 57627119-8c20-4f9e-bf4d-4fc427b4a6a9 (vlan0017) added as
"/run/NetworkManager/system-connections/vlan0017-57627119-8c20-4f9e-bf4d-4fc427b4a6a9.nmconnection"
(nm-generated,volatile,external)
I think this shouldn't have happened. We've picked the correct
connection already and it's enqueued for activation!
Change the check in nm_device_emit_recheck_assume() to also consider
any queued activation.

If the MAC changes there is the possibility that the DHCP client will
not be able to renew the address because it uses the old MAC as
CHADDR. Depending on the implementation, the DHCP server might use
CHADDR (so, the old address) as the destination MAC for DHCP replies,
and those packets will be lost.
To avoid this problem, restart the DHCP client when the MAC changes.

nm_utils_enum_to_str() can print flags, that is, combinations of
powers of two integers.
It also supports nicks, for certain flags.
When we have a nick for value zero, then that requires special
handling. Otherwise, that zero nick will always show up in the
string representation, although, it should only be used if the
enum value is exactly zero.

1) The "enabled-on-global-iface" flag was odd. Instead, have only
and "enabled" flag and skip (by default) endpoints on interface
that have no default route. With the new flag "also-without-default-route",
this can be overruled. So previous "enabled-on-global-default" now is
the same as "enabled", and "enabled" from before behaves now like
"enabled,also-without-default-route".
2) What was also odd, as that the fallback default value for the flags
depends on "/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled". There was not one fixed
fallback default, instead the used fallback value was either
"enabled-on-global-iface,subflow" or "disabled".
Usually that is not a problem (e.g. the default value for
"ipv6.ip6-privacy" also depends on use_tempaddr sysctl). In this case
it is a problem, because the mptcp-flags (for better or worse) encode
different things at the same time.
Consider that the mptcp-flags can also have their default configured in
"NetworkManager.conf", a user who wants to switch the address flags
could previously do:
[connection.mptcp]
connection.mptcp-flags=0x32 # enabled-on-global-iface,signal,subflow
but then the global toggle "/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled" was no longer
honored. That means, MPTCP handling was always on, even if the sysctl was
disabled. Now, "enabled" means that it's only enabled if the sysctl
is enabled too. Now the user could write to "NetworkManager.conf"
[connection.mptcp]
connection.mptcp-flags=0x32 # enabled,signal,subflow
and MPTCP handling would still be disabled unless the sysctl
is enabled.
There is now also a new flag "also-without-sysctl", so if you want
to really enable MPTCP handling regardless of the sysctl, you can.
The point of that might be, that we still can configure endpoints,
even if kernel won't do anything with them. Then you could just flip
the sysctl, and it would start working (as NetworkManager configured
the endpoints already).

Various synchronous methods (D-Bus calls) in libnm's NMClient API were
deprecated. The problem is that NMClient contains a cache of D-Bus
objects, and it gets updated by asynchronous events (D-Bus signals).
Those events get only processed when iterating the GMainContext, but
they are ordered.
When we perform a pseudo blocking D-Bus call with
g_dbus_connection_call_sync(), then GDBus creates a temporary
GMainContext, sends the request and iterates the internal context
blocking for the response. That is, this reply is not synchrounized with
the events that update the NMClient cache.
That is a problem for methods like nm_remote_connection_delete(),
because you call blocking delete, but afterwards the object is still in
the NMClient cache. That's why most blocking methods are deprecated.
While such blocking calls are therefore problematic, they can still be
very convenient to call from a simple script, a test tool or the python
REPL. See "examples/python/gi/nm-wg-set" which calls
nm_remote_connection_get_secrets(), and it would be (unnecessarily)
cumbersome to do the correct thing or using async API.
In particular, nm_remote_connection_get_secrets() doesn't retrieve an object
that is in the NMClient cache in the first place. Sure, the result is
out of order with the cache, but it's not obviously related and in most
cases it wouldn't matter to the user. So undeprecate this function again.
