Lubomir Rintel 1dc8b7f477 device: wait for carrier even if it wasn't us who brought the device IFF_UP
The devices generally need to be IFF_UP and wait a little before the
carrier detection is reliable. Some devices, actually need to wait
more than a little -- r8169 needs up to 5 seconds.

For this reason, we delay startup complete while the carrier is down
after we bring the device up. We do this so that we don't reject
activations due to carrier down until we're sure it's really down.
This works well as long as it's us who brought the device up.

If we're restarting the daemon, the device is going to be already up
when we start up the daemon for the second time. There's, however, a
slim chance that the device was brought down and up very shortly before
the restart and therefore the carrier reporting is still not reliable.
As a matter of fact, we bring the devices down and back up on some
occassions, such as when enslaving to a team device.

Therefore, the following events in quick succession cause trouble:

  # nmcli con up team-slave-eth0
  [20099.205355] Generic FE-GE Realtek PHY r8169-0-300:00: attached PHY driver (mii_bus:phy_addr=r8169-0-300:00, irq=MAC)
  [20099.365641] nm-team: Port device eth0 added
  [20099.370728] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: Link is Down
  [20099.436631] nm-team: Port device eth0 removed
  [20099.463422] Generic FE-GE Realtek PHY r8169-0-300:00: attached PHY driver (mii_bus:phy_addr=r8169-0-300:00, irq=MAC)
  [20099.628505] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: Link is Down
  [20099.669425] Generic FE-GE Realtek PHY r8169-0-300:00: attached PHY driver (mii_bus:phy_addr=r8169-0-300:00, irq=MAC)
  [20099.833457] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: Link is Down
  [20099.838471] nm-team: Port device eth0 added

The device has been brought down, enslaved and brought up.
"Link is Down" indicates carrier not being detected.

  Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/7)
  # systemctl restart NetworkManager

Now NM sees the device being up, but carrier down.

  # nmcli con up testeth0
  Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection (...).

Activation failed, because eth0 carrier still appears down.

  # [20102.943464] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control rx/tx

Now it's up, but the party is already over. Shiet.

Let's wait whenever the device reaches unavailable state, whether we
bring it up at that point or not.

src/

Most of the subdirectories are static helper libraries, which get linked into one of the final build artifacts (like libnm, nmcli or NetworkManager). Static libraries are internal API.

The only public API is libnm, which is a shared library provided client implementations.

Our own clients (like nmcli and nmtui) also use libnm, the shared library. But they also use additional static helper libraries.

The daemon statically links against a part of libnm, the part that provides connection profiles. That is libnm-core. libnm-core is thus statically linked with libnm and the daemon. It does not get linked by clients that already link with libnm (like nmtui).
