When SAE key managmenet is used, the supplicant can still use the "psk"
property. Only when the pass phrase doesn't conform to WPA-PSK
limitations, the sae_password must be used.
This adds support for configuring the Wi-Fi connections to use SAE. SAE
is a password-based authentication mechanism that replaces WPA-PSK in
WPA3-Personal.
The pass phrase is still stored in the "psk" property, with some
limitations lifted.
The generic connection validation produces a good result:
Error: failed to modify 802-11-wireless-security.psk: ':(' is not a valid PSK.
vs.:
Error: Failed to add 'wifi666' connection: 802-11-wireless-security.psk: property is invalid
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.
Like we do with autotools, otherwise we get a warning:
[576/1030] Compiling C object src/25a6634@@NetworkManager@sta/nm-session-monitor.c.o.

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.
NMSecretAgentOld's get_secrets_cb() gets this right and takes
a floating reference. So this was correct.
However, make this a bit more robust, and don't pass on
floating references. This was, we don't require the callee
to consume the reference.
Most of the times we actually need a NMSecretAgentSimple typed pointer.
This way, need need to cast less.
But even if we would need to cast more, it's better to have pointers
point to the actual type, not merely to avoid shortcomings of C.
No caller cared about the NM_SECRET_AGENT_ERROR_AGENT_CANCELED reason.
In particular, because previously the requests would keep the secret-agent
instance alive, and this never happend.
Also, NM_SECRET_AGENT_ERROR_AGENT_CANCELED precicley exists for
NMSecretAgentOld:cancel_get_secrets() (as documented). During finalize
we are not cancelled -- at least not the same way as
cancel_get_secrets(). Setting NM_SECRET_AGENT_ERROR_AGENT_CANCELED
is wrong.
Anyway, we have a default error for such cases already.
The code was correct. But it's hard to follow when and whether
the child-watch-id was destroyed at the right time.
Instead, always let _auth_dialog_data_free() clear the signal handlers.
Don't let RequestData keep the parent NMSecretAgentSimple instance
alive. Previously, the code in finalize() was never actually reached.
Also, move the final callback from finalize() to dispose(). It feels
wrong to invoke callbacks from finalize().
We must actually cancel the GCancellable. Otherwise, the pending async
operations are not cancelled. _auth_dialog_write_done() doesn't care
about that, but _auth_dialog_read_done() does. It must not touch the
destroyed data, after the operation is cancelled.
Note that previously the @requests hash took the request-id as key and
the RequestData as value. Likewise, the destroy functions of the head
would destroy the key and the value.
However, RequestData also had a field "request_id". But that pointer was
not owned (nor freed) by the RequestData structure. Instead, it was
relied that the hash kept the request-id alive long enough.
That is confusing. Let RequestData own the request-id.
Also, we don't need to track a separate key. Just move the request-id
as first filed in RequestData, and use compare/hash functions that
handle that correctly (nm_pstr_*()).
Code that is internal to a source file should not have a "nm" prefix.
That is what differenciates it from declarations in header files. It
makes it clearer that these names are only defined in the current file.
Also, our implementations of virtual functions shall have the same
name as the function pointer of the VTable (or at least, it shouldn't
have a "nm" prefix).
NMPNetns instances are immutable, hence they can be easily shared
between threads. All we need, is that the stack of namespaces is
thread-local.
Also note that NMPNetns uses almost no other API, except some bits from
"shared/nm-utils/" and nm-logging. These parts are already supposed to
be thread-safe.
The only complications is that when the thread exits, we need to
destroy the NMPNetns instances. That is especially important because
they hold file descriptors. This is accomplished using pthread's
thread-specific data. An alternative would be C11 threads' tss_create(),
but not all systems that we run against support that yet. This means,
we need to link with pthreads, but we already do that anyway.
Note that glib also requires pthreads. So, we don't get an additional
dependency here.
NetworkManager is single-threaded and uses a mainloop.
However, sometimes we may need multiple threads. For example, we will
need to write sysctl values asynchronously, using the glib thread-pool.
For that to work, we also need to switch the network-namespace of the
thread-pool thread. We want to use NMPNetns for that. Hence it's better
to have NMPNetns thread-safe, instead of coming up with a duplicate
implementation. But NMPNetns may want to log, so we also need nm-logging
thread-safe.
In general, code under "shared/nm-utils" and nm-logging should be usable
from multiple threads. It's simpler to make this code thread-safe than
re-implementing it. Also, it's a bad limitation to be unable to log
from other threads. If there is an error, the best we can often do is to
log about it.
Make nm-logging thread-safe. Actually, we only need to be able to log
from multiple threads. We don't need to setup or configure logging from
multiple threads. This restriction allows us to access logging from the
main-thread without any thread-synchronization (because all changes in
the logging setup are also done from the main-thread).
So, while logging from other threads requires a mutex, logging from the
main-thread is lock-free.
Instead of having two functions nm_logging_set_syslog_identifier()
and nm_logging_set_prefix(), merge them.
They must both be called at earliest point and together. No point
in giving them the appearance that they could be called any time.
This variable has other requirements for multi-threaded access (it will
only be accessible from the main-thread). Move it to a separate global
variable to make that clearer.
The distinction between only reading static data and modifying it,
is important when making nm-logging thread-safe.
This change should make it easier to find the places where we modify
data.
