Add nm_utils_wifi_strength_bars(), which figures out whether the
terminal can display graphical wifi strength bars, and converts a
numerical value to the appropriate Unicode or ASCII characters.
This also now takes into consideration the fact that the console font
doesn't contain all of the necessary characters, so we can't display
the graphical bars there. (rh #1131491)
Add the missing variant in most places in the API where previously
there was either only a synchronous version or only an asynchronous
version.
There is not yet a synchronous nm_client_activate_connection(),
nm_client_add_and_activate_connection(), or
nm_remote_settings_add_connection(), because the existing async code
depends on waiting for other asynchronous events, so making them run
synchronously is slightly more complicated. But these APIs can be
added later.
Make synchronous APIs take GCancellables, and make asynchronous APIs
use GAsyncReadyCallbacks and have names ending in "_async", with
"_finish" functions to retrieve the results.
Also, make nm_client_activate_connection_finish(),
nm_client_add_and_activate_finish(), and
nm_remote_settings_add_connection_finish() be (transfer full) rather
than (transfer none), because the refcounting semantics become
slightly confusing in some edge cases otherwise.
Merge nm_remote_settings_add_connection() and
nm_remote_settings_add_connection_unsaved(), and likewise
nm_remote_connection_commit_changes() and
nm_remote_connection_commit_changes_unsaved(), by adding a boolean
flag to each saying whether to save to disk.
dcbw points out that g_dbus_connection_get_unique_name() can be used
to distinguish private from bus connections without us needing to keep
track ourselves.
_nm_dbus_new_connection_async() wasn't marking the connection as
private when it was private, causing
_nm_dbus_new_proxy_for_connection*() to pass the wrong args. Fix that.
nm_access_point_get_ssid() used to return NULL if the AP didn't have a
visible SSID. This got broken in the NM_TYPE_SSID -> G_TYPE_BYTES
change. Fix that. (Fixes a crash in nmtui and nmcli with SSID-less
APs.)

Port libnm-core/libnm to GDBus.
The NetworkManager daemon continues to use dbus-glib; the
previously-added connection hash/variant conversion methods are now
moved to NetworkManagerUtils (along with a few other utilities that
are now only needed by the daemon code).
In preparation for porting to GDBus, make nm_connection_to_dbus(),
etc, represent connections as GVariants of type 'a{sa{sv}}' rather
than as GHashTables-of-GHashTables-of-GValues.
This means we're constantly converting back and forth internally, but
this is just a stepping stone on the way to the full GDBus port, and
all of that code will go away again later.
dbus-glib's functions to get a DBusGConnection or a DBusGProxy return
right away, but gdbus's corresponding functions do some initial setup
and communication as part of initialization, and so either block or
run async. So split _nm_dbus_new_connection() and
_nm_dbus_new_proxy_for_connection() into sync and async versions now,
and update NMObject to use the correct one depending on whether it is
working synchronously or asynchronously.
NMObject has a system that lets devices and active connections get
created as the correct subtypes (NMDeviceFoo / NMActiveConnection vs
NMVpnConnection). But it was much more generic than it needed to be,
because NMDevice and NMActiveConnection both did the same thing (fetch
a D-Bus property and then look at its value). So move the
property-fetching part into NMObject, and only use the callback for
converting the property value to a GType.
Add _nm_object_class_add_interface(), for declaring that a class
implements a particular interface, and then have NMObject create the
corresponding proxies itself. (The subclass can get a copy with
_nm_object_get_proxy() if it needs it for something).
(In GDBus, creating a proxy is a heavier operation than in dbus-glib,
so we'll need to create the proxies asynchronously. Moving the
creation to NMObject makes that easier since we can do it as part
of the existing init/init_async.)
There's not much point in keeping them separate: all existing
libnm-glib-vpn users also link against libnm-glib, and the amount of
extra code added to libnm by merging in libnm-vpn is negligible.
Additionally, nm-vpn-plugin will later need access to some
libnm-internal APIs.
So, merge them together.
If two code paths try to asynchronously create the same object at the
same time (eg, because it shows up in two different properties), we
are supposed to deal with that. But at some point a race condition
appeared where we could end up returning a partially-initialized
object for one of the properties in the async case. Fix that.
Also add comments to both the sync and async cases explaining why they
work the way they do.
If _nm_object_create() hit an error, it would return the
(half-initialized) object anyway. If _nm_object_create_async() hit an
error, it would return NULL, but leak the half-initialized object. Fix
both cases.
Make register() and unregister() have cancellable sync and async
variants. And make NMSecretAgent implement GInitable/GAsyncInitable,
and do the initial auto-registration as part of initialization rather
than doing it asynchronously and emitting a signal.
Implement some basic secret agent functionality in
test-networkmanager-service.py, and add test-secret-agent to test that
NMSecretAgent works as expected.
If an NMSecretAgent is attached to the session bus rather than the
system bus, then it's presumably a test program, and so we don't want
to check that the peer is root.
The only plausible use case for the NMObject:dbus-connection property
is for using the session bus in test programs. So just drop it and use
an environment variable to decide which bus to use instead.
dbus_connection_allocate_data_slot() can only fail on ENOMEM, in which
case the immediately-following call to g_set_error() would also get
ENOMEM and abort. So just simplify and assert that the libdbus call
didn't fail.
The docs for NMIP4Config:addresses and NMIP4Config:routes claimed that
they were GPtrArrays of NMIP4Address/NMIP4Route, but get_property()
was actually trying to set them the D-Bus representation type, and it
was failing anyway because it used g_value_set_boxed() on a parameter
that was declared GParamSpecPointer. Fix it to use a GPtrArray-valued
property, and set it to the right thing.
NMIP6Config did the right thing with its :addresses and :routes
properties, but was using custom types (NM_TYPE_IP6_ADDRESS_OBJECT_ARRAY and
NM_TYPE_IP6_ROUTE_OBJECT_ARRAY). Make it use G_TYPE_PTR_ARRAY instead.
nm-types.c, nm-types.h, and nm-types-private.h are now empty, and so
can be dropped.
Make NMIP4Config:nameservers, NMIP4Config:wins-servers, and
NMIP6Config:nameservers be G_TYPE_STRV, with stringified IP addresses,
and update the APIs accordingly.
libnm functions that return GPtrArrays of objects had a rule that if
the array was empty, they would return NULL rather than a 0-length
array. As it turns out, this is just a nuisance to clients, since in
most places the code for the non-empty case would end up doing the
right thing for the empty case as well (and where it doesn't, we can
check "array->len == 0" just as easily as "array == NULL"). So just
return the 0-length array instead.
Use G_TYPE_PTR_ARRAY for GPtrArray-of-NMObject-valued properties,
because it has better introspection/bindings support.
As with the strdict change in libnm-core, we need to manually copy the
array in get_property() implementations, to preserve the standard
semantics that get_property() returns a copy, not the internal array.
(This patch also changes those properties so that they are always
non-NULL until dispose(); previously some of them could be either NULL
or 0-length at different times.)
The NMDevice:state-reason property was awkward to work with since it
was a tuple of two values (state and reason), and likewise, although
we had nm_device_get_state() to return just the state, there was no
corresponding function to get just the reason.
Fix this; make the state-reason property contain just the
NMDeviceStateReason, and make nm_device_get_state_reason() return just
that.
Change all DBUS_TYPE_G_UCHAR_ARRAY properties to G_TYPE_BYTES, and
update corresponding APIs. Notably, this means they are now refcounted
rather than being copied.
Update the rest of NM for the changes. The daemon still converts SSIDs
to GByteArrays internally, because changing it to use GBytes has lots
of trickle-down effects. It can possibly be changed later.
Make all mac-address properties (including NMSettingBluetooth:bdaddr,
NMSettingOlpcMesh:dhcp-anycast-addr, and NMSettingWireless:bssid) be
strings, using _nm_setting_class_transform_property() to handle
translating to/from binary form when dealing with D-Bus.
Update everything accordingly for the change, and also add a test for
transformed setting properties to test-general.
Remove the virtual :interface-name properties and their getters, and
use property overrides to do backward-compat handling when
serializing/deserializing.
Now when constructing an NMConnection from a hash, if the virtual
property is set and the NMSettingConnection property isn't, then the
override for NMSettingConnection:interface-name will set that property
to the value of the virtual interface-name. And when converting an
NMConnection to a hash, the overrides for the virtual properties will
return the value of NMSettingConnection:interface-name.
Add a method to determine if a connection applies to a virtual device.
Perhaps eventually the logic should be spread across the NMSetting
classes, but for now it's better off having it in NMConnection than
once in NMManager and once in nmcli.
The virtual :interface-name properties (eg,
NMDeviceBond:interface-name) are deprecated in favor of
NMSettingConnection:interface-name, and nm_connection_verify() ensures
that their values are kept in sync. So (a) there is no need to set
those properties when we can just set
NMSettingConnection:interface-name instead, and (b) we can replace any
calls to the setting-specific get_interface_name() methods with
nm_connection_get_interface_name() or
nm_setting_connection_get_interface_name().
Since we enforce the fact that bond, bridge, team, and vlan
interface-name properties match NMSettingConnection:interface-name,
nm_connection_get_virtual_iface_name() can be replaced with
nm_connection_get_interface_name() basically everywhere.
The one place this doesn't work is with InfiniBand partitions (where
get_virtual_iface_name() was actually computing the name), but for the
most part we only need to care about the interface names of InfiniBand
partitions in places where we also already need to do some other
InfiniBand-specific handling as well, so we can use an
InfiniBand-specific method
(nm_setting_infiniband_get_virtual_interface_name()) to get it.
(Also, while updating nm_device_get_virtual_device_description(), fix
it to handle InfiniBand partitions too.)
On failure, nm_connection_replace_settings() would leave the
connection in an undefined state. Fix it so that either (a) the
settings are replaced and the resulting connection is valid and we
return TRUE, or (b) the connection is untouched and we return FALSE
and an error. (And add a test case for this.)
Rename nm_connection_to_hash() to nm_connection_to_dbus(), and
nm_connection_new_from_hash() to nm_connection_new_from_dbus(). In
addition to clarifying that this is specifically the D-Bus
serialization format, these names will also work better in the
GDBus-based future where the serialization format is GVariant, not
GHashTable.
Also, move NMSettingHashFlags to nm-connection.h, and rename it
NMConnectionSerializationFlags.
Make nm_setting_to_hash() and nm_setting_new_from_hash() private, and
remove the public nm_setting_update_secrets() wrapper around the
existing private _nm_setting_update_secrets().
These functions should really only be called from the corresponding
NMConnection-level methods, and in particular, with certain
compatibility properties in the future, we will need to consider the
entire connection all at once when setting properties, so it won't
make sense to serialize/deserialize a single setting in isolation.
