This is intentionally IPv4 specific since this is used for a quick fallback to
method=link-local -- something that's not needed for IPv6 since the link local
address is always there.

Otherwise the uninitializeded objects could be prematurely signalled if their
paths are seen twice in quick succession. This happens when you have ethernet
hardware and add an ethernet connection -- it's immediatelly added to
AvialableConnections and the property reload signals the object addition
before the NMRemoteSettings's GetSettings() finishes:
# nmcli c add type ethernet autoconnect no ifname '*'
(process:4610): libnm-CRITICAL **: nm_connection_get_id: assertion 's_con != NULL' failed
Connection '(null)' ((null)) successfully added.

No longer support disabling the global-dns configuration via the
"enable" option.
Instead, the user can put the entire dns-configuration in one separate
snippet, and disable it altogether with ".config.enable".
Support a new configuration option
[.config]
enable=<ENABLED>
for configuration snippets.
This new [.config] section is only relevant within the snippet itself
and it is not merged into the combined configuration.
Currently only the "enable" key is supported. If the "enable" key is
missing, it obviously defaults to being enabled. It allows snippets
to be skipped from loading. The main configuration "NetworkManager.conf"
cannot be skipped.
<ENABLED> can be a boolean value (false), to skip a configuration
snippet from loading.
It can also be a string to match against the NetworkManager version,
like "enable=nm-version-min:1.1,nm-version-min:1.0.6"
There are several motivations for this:
- the user can disable an entire configuration snippet by toggeling
one entry.
This generalizes the functionality of the global-dns.enable
setting, but in a way that applies to configuration on a per-file
basis.
- for developing, we often switch between different versions of
NetworkManager. Thus, we might want to use different configuration.
E.g. before global-dns options, I want to use "dns=none" and manage
resolv.conf myself. Now, I can use global-dns setting to do that.
That can be achieved with something like the following (not exactly,
it's an example only):
[.config]
enable=nm-version-min:1.1
[main]
dns=default
[global-dns-domain-*]
nameserver=127.0.0.1
Arguably, this would be more awesome, if we would bump our micro devel
version (1.1.0) more often while developing 1.2.0 (*hint*).
- in principle, packages could drop configuration snippets and enable
them based on the NetworkManager version.
- with the "env:" spec, you can enable/disable snippets by configuring
an environment variable. Again, useful for testing and developing.
This is effectively the same as nm_config_parse_boolean(). The difference is,
that "nm-config.c" is not available to the interface-helper, thus any
code used by interface-helper (like "NetworkManager.c") cannot use this
function.
Still don't drop nm_config_parse_boolean() entirely, because it's better
to have the explicit notion of parsing a string in the config-context.
I ended up not using the function. But I'd still keep this patch.
Allows to enable more-asserts more granularly.
Unfortunately, the old check was "${enable_more_asserts} == "yes", thus
we cannot extend "--enable-more-assert=level" because that would mean
that the same build script cannot set the option on both old and new
NetworkManager.
Thus, add a new option --with-more-asserts=level. If you put the
following in your build script, it will work as expected whether
you build a new or an old version of NetworkManager.
./configure --enable-more-asserts --with-more-asserts=5
The 'new-connection' signal of a GDBusServer is emitted by default
through an idle source and the actual message processing starts only
after a signal handler returns TRUE.
Thus, before the signal handler has the chance to run, the GDBus
worker thread may detect that the connection is closed and schedule
the delivery of the 'closed' signal through another idle source.
After the termination of the 'new-connection' handler, the 'closed'
handler is executed, which cancels the subscription to GDBus signals
before any message has been processed.
This looks like a bug in GDBusServer; to work around it, just delay
the close of connection to let the signal dispatch run first.

When activating for example a team device which is to be enslaved to a
bridge, nm_device_activate_stage1_device_prepare() will postpone
stage 2.
In that case, we didn't register the "master-ready" of the team
device and thus never progressed the slave from stage2.
Reproduce:
# nmcli connection delete t-br0
# nmcli connection delete t-team0
nmcli connection add type bridge con-name t-br0 autoconnect no ifname i-br0 ip4 192.168.177.100/24 gw4 192.168.177.1
nmcli connection add type team con-name t-team0 autoconnect no ifname i-team0
nmcli connection modify id t-team0 connection.master i-br0 connection.slave-type bridge
nmcli connection up t-team0
Otherwise I get the following error (iwhile building in Jenkins):

When a Wi-Fi is switched to AP mode, NMDeviceWifi forgets the AP scan list.
Later, when the device goes back to normal managed mode, the device was not
able to acquire the AP list again (for a long time), because the list is only
populated when a new BSS is signalled. And that could take very long or never
happen as the supplicant would have to lost the BSS and announce it later.
Fix the problem by announcing known BSSs as a response to ScanDone signal.
Testcase:
$ nmcli con add type wifi ifname wlan0 con-name my-wifi-ap autoconnect off ssid MYSSID
$ nmcli con modify my-wifi-ap wifi.mode ap ipv4.method shared
$ nmcli con up my-wifi-ap
$ nmcli con down my-wifi-ap
$ nmcli device wifi list

We now (since 3272ff6 libnm/libnm-glib: don't quit in the middle of asking for
secrets) always hook on the quit timer when NM asks the plugin if it needs
secrets. The timer is 20 seconds, which seems too short.
Let's make it three minutes. Don't bother adding another timer or using a
distinct timeout: it does no harm for the plugin to remain unused for three
minutes on a bus.
Another option would be to completely unhook it; however the plugin wouldn't
learn if the user cancelled the NM's secrets request and would remain unused
on the bus forever.
Modify the DNS manager to use the static global DNS configuration when
available. In addition, change DNS plugins interface to accept a new
argument for global configuration and add support for this new
parameter to the dnsmasq plugin.
For libnm library, "nm-dbus-interface.h" contains defines like the D-Bus
paths of NetworkManager. It is desirable to have this header usable without
having a dependency on "glib.h", for example for a QT application. For that,
commit c0852964a8 removed that dependancy.
For libnm-glib library, the analog to "nm-dbus-interface.h" is
"NetworkManager.h", and the same applies there. Commit
159e827a72 removed that include.
However, that broke build on PackageKit [1] which expected to get the
version macros by including "NetworkManager.h". So at least for libnm-glib,
we need to preserve old behavior so that a user including
"NetworkManager.h" gets the version macros, but not "glib.h".
Extract the version macros to a new header file "nm-version-macros.h".
This header doesn't include "glib.h" and can be included from
"NetworkManager.h". This gives as previous behavior and a glib-free
include.
For libnm we still don't include "nm-version-macros.h" to "nm-dbus-interface.h".
Very few users will actually need the version macros, but not using
libnm.
Users that use libnm, should just include (libnm's) "NetworkManager.h" to
get all headers.
As a special case, a user who doesn't want to use glib/libnm, but still
needs both "nm-dbus-interface.h" and "nm-version-macros.h", can include
them both separately.

Fixes: 4545a7fe96
NetworkManager only allows one 'client:user-id' to register as secret
agent. Thus, when starting nmtui in two terminals, creating the secret
agent can fail.
This can lead to a crash.
