Add test for checking the meta data for expected consistency.
This is also useful if you want to check something about the meta data
programatically.
For example, if you have the question which (if any) properties
are GObject based but also implement a to_dbus_fcn() function. Then you
can extend this code with some simple printf debugging to get a list of
those.
Or, if you want to find how many NMSettInfoProperty instances are in
static data (e.g. to determine how much memory is used). You can easily
modify this code to count them (and find 447 properties). Out of these,
326 are plain GObject based properties. Meaning, we could refactor the
code to create smaller NMSettInfoProperty instances for those, saving
thus (326 * 4 * sizeof (gpointer)) bytes (10K).
Such questions are interesting when refactoring the code.
NM_DEVICE_MANAGED was intended to work like NM_DEVICE_AUTOCONNECT:
namely it would call the D-Bus property setter synchronously.
But such behavior is horrendous, we certainly don't want blocking calls
during a property getter.
Luckily this one instance was unused and never worked as the property
was marked as G_PARAM_READABLE. Just drop the setter.
Synchrnous initialization is problmatic and needs cleanup.
get_permissions_sync() is an internal function, that has only one
caller. We need to keep track of functions that make synchronous D-Bus
calls. Move the synchronous call into the caller, so that it's clearer
who calls such API.
We don't need a wrapper around g_bus_get*(). Just use
it directly.
I guess in the past this had some use when we were using
a private socket too. Those days are gone. If we are going
to re-introduce private socket support, then we probably should
come up with a better solution.
I'd like to refactor libnm's caching. Note that cached D-Bus objects
have repeated strings all over the place. For example every object will
have a set of D-Bus interfaces (strings) and properties (strings) and an
object path (which is referenced by other objects). We can save a lot of
redundant strings by deduplicating/interning them. Also, by interning
them, we can compare them using pointer equality.
Add a NMRefString implementation for this.
Maybe an alternative name would be NMInternedString or NMDedupString, because
this string gets always interned. There is no way to create a NMRefString
that is not interned. Still, NMRefString name sounds better. It is ref-counted
after all.
Notes:
- glib has GQuark and g_intern_string(). However, such strings cannot
be unrefered and are leaked indefinitely. It is thus unsuited for
anything but a fixed set of well-known strings.
- glib 2.58 adds GRefString, but we cannot use that because we
currently still use glib 2.40.
There are some differences:
- GRefString is just a typedef to char. That means, the glib API
exposes GRefString like regular character strings.
NMRefString intentionally does that not. This makes it slightly
less convenient to pass it to API that expects "const char *".
But it makes it clear to the reader, that an instance is in fact
a NMRefString, which means it indicates that the string is
interned and can be referenced without additional copy.
- GRefString can be optionally interned. That means you can
only use pointer equality for comparing values if you know
that the GRefString was created with g_ref_string_new_intern().
So, GRefString looks like a "const char *" pointer and even if
you know it's a GRefString, you might not know whether it is
interned. NMRefString is always interned, and you can always
compare it using pointer equality.
- In the past I already proposed a different implementation for a
ref-string. That made different choices. For example NMRefString
then was a typedef to "const char *", it did not support interning
but deduplication (without a global cache), ref/unref was not
thread safe (but then there was no global cache so that two threads
could still use the API independently).
The point is, there are various choices to make. GRefString, the
previous NMRefString implementation and the one here, all have pros and
cons. I think for the purpose where I intend NMRefString (dedup and
efficient comparison), it is a preferable implementation.
Ah, and of course NMRefString is an immutable string, which is a nice
property.
If DHCPv4 fails but IPv6 succeeds it makes sense to continue trying
DHCP so that we will eventually be able to get an address if the DHCP
server comes back. Always keep the client running; it will be only
terminated when the connection is brought down.

In the accept() callback, the nettools client creates a UDP socket
with the received address as source, so the address must be already
configured on the interface.
Also, handle errors returned by nm_dhcp_client_accept().
Fixes: 401fee7c20 ('dhcp: support notifying the client of the result of DAD')
It is a waste of resources instantiating a NMClient, filling the
object cache and then throwing everything away without using it. This
can take seconds on slow systems with many objects. Since the
ReloadConnections doesn't need anything from the cache, just execute
the D-Bus method call directly.
FT-SAE is missing in the supplicant configuration verification list,
causing an activation failure when using SAE and the supplicant
supports FT.
Fixes: d17a0a0905 ('supplicant: allow fast transition for WPA-PSK and WPA-EAP')
Drop it from the functions for extracting the dhcp options from the
lease: it was just used for the logging, but now we log all the options
once, at the end of the process.
Each plugin logged the options: just do that on dhcp state change and do
in common code.
Log the options at INFO level for all the plugins. This partially reverts
the effects on the internal plugin of the commit:
97ce488f5f ('dhcp/internal: decrease logging level when
retrieving dhcp options')
