GByteArray is a mutable array of bytes. For every practical purpose, the hwaddr
property of NMDhcpClient is an immutable sequence of bytes. Thus, make it a
GBytes.
The bridge test (and no other either) no longer sets sysfs properties,
so this whole madness is no longer needed. That is good, because Linux
got somewhat stricter (at least in 4.15) about mounting sysfs and the
whole thing wouldn't work with containers where /sys is red-only from
the start.
Although IFA_F_TEMPORARY is numerically equal to IFA_F_SECONDARY,
their meaning is different. One applies to IPv6 temporary addresses,
and the other to IPv4 secondary addresses.
During _addr_array_clean_expired() we want to ignore and clear
IPv6 temporary addresses, but not IPv4 secondary addresses.

While the numerical values of IFA_F_SECONDARY and IFA_F_TEMPORARY
are identical, their meaning is not.
IFA_F_SECONDARY is only relevant for IPv4 addresses, while
IFA_F_TEMPORARY is only relevant for IPv6 addresses.
IFA_F_TEMPORARY is automatically set by kernel for the addresses
that it generates as part of IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR. It cannot be
actively set by user-space.
IFA_F_SECONDARY is automatically set by kernel depending on the order
in which the addresses for the same subnet are added.
This essentially reverts 8b4f11927 (core: avoid IFA_F_TEMPORARY alias for
IFA_F_SECONDARY).
In device_ipx_changed() we remember the addresses for which it appears
that DAD failed. Later, on an idle handler, we process them during
queued_ip6_config_change().
Note that nm_plaform_ip6_address_sync() might very well decide to remove
some or all addresses and re-add them immidiately later. It might do so,
to get the address priority/ordering right. At that point, we already
emit platform signals that the device disappeared, and track them in
dad6_failed_addrs.
Hence, later during queued_ip6_config_change() we must check again
whether the address is really not there and not still doing DAD.
Otherwise, we wrongly claim that DAD failed and remove the address,
generate a new one, and the same issue might happen again.
We want to add addresses in a particular order so that source address
selection works.
Note that @known_addresses contains the desired addresses in order of
least-important first, while @plat_addresses contains them in opposite
order. Previously, this inverted order was not considered, and we
essentially ended up removing and re-adding all addresses every time.
Fix that. While at it, get rid of the O(n^2) runtime complexity, and
make it O(n) by iterating both lists simultaneously.
Temporary addresses (RFC4941) are not handled by NetworkManager directly, but by
kernel. If they are in the @known_addresses list, clear them out early.
They shall be ignored.
Often, we want in API that an input argument is read-only and not modified
by the function call. Not modifying input arguments is a good
convention.
However, in this case there are only two callers, and both clearly do
not care whether the @known_addresses array will be modified.
Clear out addresses that are already expired and enforce that there are
no duplicate addresses. Basically, use @known_addresses for bookkeeping
which addresses are to be ignored.
We do a pre-run that constructs an index of all addresses and drops
addresses that are already expired.
Move this code to a separate function, it will be reused for IPv6.
Also, note that nm_platform_ip4_address_sync() has only 2 callers. Both
callers make sure to not pass duplicate known addresses, because the
addresses also come from a cache. Make that a requirement and assert
against unique addresses. If we would allow duplicate addresses, we would
have to handle them in a defined way (like, dropping the ones with lower
priority). That would be more complicated, and since no caller is
supposed to provide duplicate addresses, don't bother but assert.
nm_utils_lifetime_get() already has so many arguments.
Essentially, the function returned %TRUE if and only if the
lifetime was greater then zero.
Combine the return value and the output argument for the lifetime.
It also matches better the function name: to get the lifetime.
Originally, the platform cache did not preserve any stable order.
We added that during the large cache rework. However, we still
would only care about a particular ordering for route's BY_WEAK_ID
index. For all other indexes, it was sufficient to have the
object in some arbitrary order, not necessarily the one as indicated by
kernel.
However, for addresses we actually care about the order (at least,
regarding the the OBJECT_BY_IFINDEX index, which is considered by
platform's address sync).
During a dump we get all objects in the right order. That means,
as we (re) insert the objects into the cache, we must forcefully move
them to the end of their list.
If the object didn't actually change, previously we would not have
updated their position in the cache. Fix that now.
Add a function that allows to re-request all objects of a certain type.
Usually, the cache is supposed to keep itself in a consistent state and
this function is not useful.
It is however useful during testing and debugging to explicitly reload
an object type.
If you ever think to need this function in non-testing code, then
something else is probably wrong with the cache implementation.
This makes its prototype compatible with GDestroyNotify so that GCC 8.0
won't warn.
The return value is not used anywhere and the unref() functions typically
don't return any.
Print the "tentative" flags as last. Most other flags, have more the character of
a user configured attribute, while "tentative" reflects the current state of the address.
Previously, we would log
secondary,tentative
and
tentative,mngtmpaddr,noprefixroute
Print the "tenative" flag last. This way, the flag that commonly
will flip by kernel's decision, is consistently printed last.
We commonly only allow tabs at the beginning of a line, not
afterwards. The reason for this style is so that the code
looks formated right with tabstop=4 and tabstop=8.
XXX was used to either raise attention (NOTE) or to indicate
that this is ugly code that should be fixed (FIXME). The usage
was inconsistent.
Let's avoid XXX and use either NOTE or FIXME.
Especially useful, because we don't link against libnl-genl-3.so
but re-implement generic netlink support. Such code should go there
so it can be used by various components.
netlink's API is stable, and strictly defined by the integer values that make
up commands and attributes. There is little reason do disable a netlink feature
based on compile time detection of the kernel headers.
Either kernel supports it, or it will fail with an appropriate response.
Also, support for NL80211_CMD_CRIT_PROTOCOL_START was merge to kernel
in 2013. Maybe, we should now just always assume support (in the kernel
headers is there). Anyway, don't do that yet, but instead avoid the
defines and use the numeric values directly.
Add a WifiDataClass struct, that is immutable and contains all the
function pointers that were previously embedded in WifiData directly.
They are not ever modified after creation, hence this allows to have
a "static const" allocated instance of the VTable.
Also rename wifi_data_deinit() to wifi_data_unref(). It does not only
deinitialize the instance, instead it also frees it. Hence, rename it
to "unref()".
Some targets are missing dependencies on some generated sources in
the meson port. These makes the build to fail due to missing source
files on a highly parallelized build.
These dependencies have been resolved by taking advantage of meson's
internal dependencies which can be used to pass source files,
include directories, libraries and compiler flags.
One of such internal dependencies called `core_dep` was already in
use. However, in order to avoid any confusion with another new
internal dependency called `nm_core_dep`, which is used to include
directories and source files from the `libnm-core` directory, the
`core_dep` dependency has been renamed to `nm_dep`.
These changes have allowed minimizing the build details which are
inherited by using those dependencies. The parallelized build has
also been improved.
Kernel (as of 4.14) merely ACKs our RTM_DELQDISC and RTM_DELTFILTER, not
bothering to signal the full RTM_DEL* message unless the removal is
external to NetworkManager.

NM_FLAGS_HAS() uses a static-assert that the second argument is a
single flag (power of two). With a single flag, NM_FLAGS_HAS(),
NM_FLAGS_ANY() and NM_FLAGS_ALL() are all identical.
The second argument must be a compile time constant, and if that is
not the case, one must not use NM_FLAGS_HAS().
Use NM_FLAGS_ANY() in these cases.
The @keep_link_local logic was wrong: when set to TRUE we must not
delete addresses and when set to FALSE we must delete addresses only
if they are unknown.
Also, ignore link-local addresses when comparing positions.

There are some tests located in different directories which are
using the same name. To avoid any confussion a prefix was used to
name the test and the target.
This patch uses the prefix just for the target, to avoid any
collision that may happen, and uses the `test-` pattern as the
name.

nm_platform_ip6_address_sync() must take care not only of adding
missing addresses and removing unknown addresses, but also of the
order in which they are added. The order is important because it
determines which address is preferred by kernel.
Since we can only add addresses at the top of the list, in order to
change the position of an address we must first remove it and then
re-add it in the right position.
@kind might be NULL. There are 3 forms of the hash-update functions for
string: str(), str0(), and strarr().
- str0() is when the string might be NULL.
- str() does not allow the string to be NULL
- strarr() is like str(), except it adds a G_STATIC_ASSERT()
that the argument is a C array.
The reason why a difference between str() and str0() exists, is
because str0() hashes NULL different from a "" or any other string.
This has an overhead, because it effectively must hash another bit
of information that tells whether a string was passed or not.
The reason is, that hashing a tupple of two strings should always
yield a different hash value, even for "aa",""; "a","a"; "","aa",
where naive concatentation would yield identical hash values in all
three cases.
