In commit ca000cffbb, we changed to
accept a plugin library name without path. One reason for that
is to keep architecture dependent parts out of the .name file
and possibly support multilib.
However, the shared libraries of VPN plugins are not installed in
a global library search path, but for example into
"/usr/lib64/NetworkManager/libnm-vpn-plugin-openvpn.so".
In that case, specifying "plugin=libnm-vpn-plugin-openvpn.so"
would not be enough to find plugin.
Instead, when configuring a plugin name without path, assume
it is in NMPLUGINDIR directory. Modify nm_vpn_editor_plugin_load_from_file()
to allow path-less plugin-names. Previously such names would be rejected
as not being absolute. This API allows to do file verification
before loading the plugin, but it now supports prepending NMPLUGINDIR
to the plugin name. Basically, this function mangles the plugin_name
argument and checks that such a file exists.
The recently added nm_vpn_editor_plugin_load() continues to behave
as before: it does no checks whatsoever and passes the name directly
to dlopen(). That way, it uses system search paths like LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and performs no checks on the file.
Fixes: ca000cffbb
Since commit 3dfbbb227e, we enforce that
the plugin path in the .name file is absolute and we perform several
checks on the file before loading it (ownership, etc).
Relax that, to also allow libray names without path component.
In that case, g_module_open()/dlopen() will search for a library
in various search paths. This allows, to omit absolute paths
in the .name file. The latter is problematic, because by default
we install the .name file in the architecture independent location
/usr/lib/NetworkManager. As such, it should not contain paths
to architecture dependent libraries. With this change, a .name
file can contain only the library name and it will be loaded
using the usual mechanism.
However, specifying absolute paths is still possible and works
same as before, including checking file permissions.
As such, distributions probably should package the VPN plugins
to have no path in the .name file. On the other hand, a user
compiling from source probably wants to specify an absolute
path. The reason is, that the user probably doesn't build the
plugin for multiple achitectures and that way, he can install
the plugin in a separate (private) prefix.
When a value of a TYPE_BOTH option is read back from kernel it
contains both string and numeric values ("balance-rr 0"), so we must
chop off the number before adding the option to the setting. Also
change the default values of options to the string form so that the
option matching logic works.
In some situations, we want strict checking of errors, for example when
NetworkManager receives a new connection from a client, the connection
must make sense as a whole (and since NetworkManager service is backward
compatible to the clients and not the other way around, there is no
excuse for sending invalid data to the server).
In other situations, we want a best-effort behavior. Like when
NetworkManager sends a connection to its clients, those clients
want to extract as many properties as they understand, but in order
to be forward compatible against newer server versions, invalid
or unknown properties must be accepted.
Previously, a mixture of both was done. Some issues caused a failure
to create a new NMSetting, other invalid parts were just silently
ignored or triggered a g_warning() in glib.
Now allow for both. When doing strict-validation, be more strict and
reject all unknown properties and catch when the user sets an invalid
argument. On the other hand, allow for a best-effort mode that
effectively cannot fail and will return a new NMSetting instance.
For now, add NMSettingParseFlags so that the caller can choose the
old behavior, strict parsing, or best effort.
This patch doesn't have any externally visible change except that
no more g_warnings will be emitted.
_nm_utils_ascii_str_to_int64() was declared in libnm-core's internal
header "nm-core-internal.h" and thus available for libnm-core, libnm,
NetworkManager and related.
It also means, the function was not available in libnm-util, libnm-glib,
clients or dispatcher. So, we either reimplemented it (nmc_string_to_int_base)
or struggle with the awkward strtol* API.
Add a generic NMSettingTunnel which describes properties of tunnels
over IPv4 and IPv6 (GRE, SIT, IPIP, IPIP6, IP6GRE, etc.). Since those
tunnel types all have similar properties it makes sense to have a
single setting type for them.
In update_connection(), pickup the configuration of
the vlan interface from platform and create the proper
NMSettingVlan setting.
And during stage1, configure the flags of the device.
Also, change all the ingress/egress mappings at once
instead of having a netlink request for each mapping.
Also, ensure we *clear* all other mappings so that
only those are set, that were configured (done by
the *gress_reset_all argument).
This shall contain type definitions, with similar use
to "nm-core-internal.h".
However, it should contain a minimal set, so that we can include this
header in other headers under "src/", without including the whole
"nm-core-internal.h" in headers.
We want "nm-dbus-interface.h" to have no dependancy on libnm and glib.
That way, it is usable for example in the QT examples without dragging
in dependencies to glib.
Also drop all the unneccessary include to "nm-dbus-interface.h", which
we already get by directly or indirectly including "nm-core-types.h".
Originally, nm-applet loaded the vpn plugins by passing the filename
to g_module_open(). Thereby, g_module_open() allowed for missing file
extension and tries to complete the name with a system-dependent suffix.
When porting to libnm, we kept that behavior but did more elaborate
checks on the file, like checking owner and permissions.
Change to no longer trying to append the system suffix, but require
an exact path. That is no usability problem, because the plugin path
is specified in the .name files, and we just require them now to be the
full path (including the .so extension).
Note also, that this only affects new, libnm-based vpn plugins, thus there
is no change in behavior for legacy libnm-glib based plugins.

NMVpnPluginInfo is little more then a wrapper around
the GKeyFile that describes the VPN plugin settings,
i.e. the name files under "/etc/NetworkManager/VPN/".
Add this class to make the VPN API more explicit. Clients
now can use NMVpnPluginInfo instead of concerning themselves
with loading the keyfile and the meaning of its properties.
Also add support for a new VPN plugins directory
"/usr/lib/NetworkManager/VPN", which should replace
"/etc/NetworkManager/VPN" in the future. But we have to
consider both locations for backward compatibility.
The content of the VPN directory is not user configuration,
hence it should not be under "/etc". See related bug 738853.
When having a hash-of-hashes where each hash is indexed by a name,
(such as GKeyFile), you can either implement it as a hash-of-hashes
or define your own version of indexes that pack both levels of names
into one key.
This is an implementation of such a key. Use it as:
GHashTable *hash = g_hash_table_new_full (_nm_utils_strstrdictkey_hash,
_nm_utils_strstrdictkey_equal,
g_free, _destroy_value);
and create keys via:
NMUtilsStrStrDictKey *k = _nm_utils_strstrdictkey_create (s1, s2);
For lookup you can use static strings (note that the static string
might increase the size of the binary):
g_hash_table_contains (hash, _nm_utils_strstrdictkey_static ("outer", "inner"))
Rather than randomly including one or more of <glib.h>,
<glib-object.h>, and <gio/gio.h> everywhere (and forgetting to include
"nm-glib-compat.h" most of the time), rename nm-glib-compat.h to
nm-glib.h, include <gio/gio.h> from there, and then change all .c
files in NM to include "nm-glib.h" rather than including the glib
headers directly.
(Public headers files still have to include the real glib headers,
since nm-glib.h isn't installed...)
Also, remove glib includes from header files that are already
including a base object header file (which must itself already include
the glib headers).
"nm-utils-private.h" should not be used outside of libnm-core/.
core/ should only use public API or "nm-core-internal.h".
Also, "nm-setting-ip-config.h" is a public header and should
not contain internal defines. Move them to "nm-core-internal.h"
too.

In general, we shouldn't end up with an unencrypted copy of a
certificate key anyway, so this function ought to be unnecessary (or
at least, not broadly useful enough to be in the public API).
nm-applet's GConf migration tool needs it, but that will eventually go
away, and until then it can just use libnm-util.
Add key-value attributes to NMIPAddress and NMIPRoute, and use them to
store IPv4 address labels. Demote NMSettingIP4Config:address-labels to
a D-Bus-only property, and arrange for :addresses setter to read the
labels out of that property when creating the addresses.
Merge NMIP4Address and NMIP6Address into NMIPAddress, and NMIP4Route
and NMIP6Route into NMIPRoute. The new types represent IP addresses as
strings, rather than in binary, and so are address-family agnostic.
If the operation isn't canceled it returns an error, printing this:
/libnm/client-nm-running:
(/home/dcbw/Development/fdo/NetworkManager/libnm/tests/.libs/lt-test-nm-client:17983): libnm-WARNING **: updated_properties: error reading NMRemoteSettings properties: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)
/bin/sh: line 5: 17983 Trace/breakpoint trap ./libnm-test-launch.sh ${dir}$tst
FAIL: test-nm-client
which screws up testcases because they don't expect this message.
And in this case, since libnm knows that NM is exiting and will
just clear out the properties anyway, it's useless to print the message.
The nm-core headers are all interconnected, and most .c files don't
include every header they need. As a prologue to making them less
interconnected, include everything from nm-core-internal.h, to make
it easier to fix up all the breakage.
Code outside of libnm-core/ should not include the private headers.
nm-core-internal.h should be used instead.

Register NMConnectionError with D-Bus on both sides, so that, eg,
connection validation failures in the daemon will translate to the
correct error codes in the client.
