If a class implements init_async, it should implement init_finish too,
rather than assuming the default implementation will do the right
thing (which it briefly didn't in glib 2.33).
In some situations, objects might get used after being disposed, so
clear out their various priv fields so we don't try to access unreffed
objects, freed strings, etc.

If a client keeps the connection around after NMRemoteSettings is done
with it (and has emitted 'removed' for that connection) then the
RemoteSettings object was still registered to receive signals for
that connection. To prevent clients from being able to screw up
the RemoteSettings, disconnect any signals it may be listening for
when the connection is removed. (it should be doing that anyway)
This reverts commit dd0460697c.
The commit dd0460697c make nm_remote_settings_new()
create the NMRemoteSettings object synchronously. It fixed getting properties,
but undid the previous ability to initialize the object asynchronously.
It can be reverted now, because a4f450aa0b commit
ensure initialization in get_property() calls.
We need to do _nm_object_ensure_inited() /
_nm_remote_settings_ensure_inited() from the get_property()
implementations; in most cases, get_property() just calls another
accessor method (which will call _nm_object_ensure_inited()), but in a
few places, it reads priv->whatever directly, so we need to make sure
that it's valid.
Bindings (like GObject Introspection) almost always create objects
using g_object_new() by default and don't use our helper functions
like nm_client_new(). Thus we need to make sure that if the
object is created in that way, any property accesses or functions
that return properties ensure that the object is fully initialized,
which is what the _new() functions were supposed to do. In one
case in NMClient that was missing (getting active connections)
and wasn't happening at all in NMRemoteSettings, which are our two
entry points into libnm-glib.
This allows this python+GI sequence to return the expected active
connection list:
from gi.repository import NMClient
nmclient = NMClient.Client(dbus_path='/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager')
active = nmclient.get_active_connections()
print(active)
where previously it returned an empty list because the NMClient
wasn't fully initialized by the time nm_client_get_active_connections()
was called.
Rather than generating enum classes by hand (and complaining in each
file that "this should really be standard"), use glib-mkenums.
Unfortunately, we need a very new version of glib-mkenums in order to
deal with NM's naming conventions and to fix a few other bugs, so just
import that into the source tree temporarily.
Also, to simplify the use of glib-mkenums, import Makefile.glib from
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/654395.
To avoid having to run glib-mkenums for every subdirectory of src/,
add a new "generated" directory, and put the generated enums files
there.
Finally, use Makefile.glib for marshallers too, and generate separate
ones for libnm-glib and NetworkManager.
Implement GInitable and GAsyncInitable in NMObject, with
implementations that synchronously or asynchonously load all
properties, and change _nm_object_ensure_inited() to run
g_initable_init().
Update the object/object-array property handling to initialize the
objects after creating them (synchronously or asynchronously,
according to the situation), so that they will have all of their
properties preloaded before they are ever visible to the caller.
Move the non-blocking/non-failable parts of various objects'
constructor() methods to constructed(), and move the blocking/failable
parts to init(), and implement init_async() methods with non-blocking
versions of the blocking methods.
Make nm_device_new() and nm_client_new() call
_nm_object_ensure_inited(), to preserve the behaviour formerly
enforced by their construct() methods, that properties are guaranteed
to be initialized before any signals involving them are emitted.
Most of the code was using dbus_g_proxy_call() directly, but there
were some leftover uses of the generated bindings. Make things more
consistent by using dbus_g_proxy_call() everywhere, and stop building
the -bindings.h files.
NMRemoteSettings's constructor requires a DBusGConnection, but there
currently aren't any usable gobject-introspection bindings for that class.
This means that NMRemoteSettings can't be used over gobject-introspection.
Move the default fallback to the system bus into the constructor path, so
that introspection bindings are usable.
Python test case:
from gi.repository import NMClient
NMClient.RemoteSettings()
Before, this produced a segfault. Now it returns a usable RemoteSettings
object.
If the client knows the UUID, add a convenience function to get
the connection path directly, instead of having to iterate the
whole connection list and get each connection's details and then
check the UUID.
Apparently dbus-glib will pass non-NULL parameters to proxy
callbacks in the error case, so we've got to make sure we don't
touch any return parameters if there's been an error.
Don't delete them if we don't have permission for them, since
we may get permission for them later via Update. But to listen
for Update we need the connection around.
When the connection becomes invisible to a user (ie, the permissions
of the connection no longer allow that user to view the connection)
then we have to hid the connection from clients. But we can't
just dispose of it, because visibility changes are signaled with
Update signals on the connection itself, and thus we need to keep
the connection around just in case it becomes visible to the user
again. But if it's invisible, make sure we clear out the settings
since they may have changed.
Simplifies code internally, and makes it easier for clients as well in
some cases where they want to control what ends up in the resulting
hash and what does not.
Add the necessary annotations (the mininum required, that is those
on return values. NULL parameters or container types may require
more), and the Autotools stuff to get a NetworkManager GIR for
libnm-util and a NMClient for libnm-glib.
Moves the system settings permissions checking into the core service's
permissions checking, which at the same time enables 3-way permission
reporting (yes, no, auth) instead of the old yes/no that we had for
system settings permissions before. This allows UI to show a lock
icon or such when the user could authenticate to gain the permission.
It also moves the wifi-create permissions' namespace to the main
namespace (not .settings) since they really should be checked before
starting a shared wifi connection, rather than having anything to do
with the settings service.
If it's not running or we can't spawn it (it's not supposed to be
autospawned anyway) we should just ignore the error and poke clients
that we've tried and failed to get user settings instead of warning
with an annoying message.
Just for consistency, make settings related stuff live under the
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager namespace, rather than its own
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings namespace. Renames are done for
DBus interface names, DBus object paths, and polkit actions.
Remove the org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings bus name and
have everybody talk to org.freedesktop.NetworkManager. Now that we have
a single settings service that's embedded in the main daemon, we don't
need separate names anymore.
NMSettingsInterface was created to allow code to operate on a settings
service without caring about what kind of settings service it was. Now
that we have just one settings service, this is no longer needed.
More work needs to be done in order to handle errors and permission
settings in an appropriate manner.
Much as with nm-remote-settings and nm-remote-settings-system, the
removal of user settings services means there is no more need for
separate interfaces for user and system settings services.
In libnm-glib, this commit merges everything in
nm-settings-system-interface into nm-settings-interface. Alongside with
that, we merge everything in the
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.System DBus interface into
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.
Originally, nm-remote-settings was used by the daemon to monitor the
user settings service, and its subclass nm-remote-settings-system was
used by NM clients to monitor the system settings service. With user
settings services gone, this distinction is no longer needed. Simplify
things a bit and merge the classes.
Remove code related to "connection scope" and such. Later, we will also
do lots of code flattening and simplification that's possible now that
user settings are gone.
instead of an NMSettingsConnectionInterface, because we won't always have an
object that implements NMSettingsConnectionInterface. Plus, since NMConnection
is a prerequisite of NMSettingsConnectionInterface, the NMConnection will
always be there anyway.
The old NMExportedConnection was used for both client and server-side classes,
which was a mistake and made the code very complicated to follow. Additionally,
all PolicyKit operations were synchronous, and PK operations can block for a
long time (ie for user input) before returning, so they need to be async. But
NMExportedConnection and NMSysconfigConnection didn't allow for async PK ops
at all.
Use this opportunity to clean up the mess and create GInterfaces that both
server and client objects implement, so that the connection editor and applet
can operate on generic objects like they did before (using the interfaces) but
can perform specific operations (like async PK verification of callers) depending
on whether they are local or remote or whatever.
