If the interface already exists, the compat code would fail. Fix that
and clean up the function. Also double-check that an existing VLAN
interface that has the name we expect also has the master and VLAN
ID we expect.
libnl2 and earlier do not implement rtnl_link_get_kernel() and
thus we need compat code to determine whether an interface is
a bond or a VLAN. Previously, the VLAN code would simply assert
and cause NM to exit when running with libnl2 or earlier because
the interface type could not be determined.
The enum generator stuff apparently includes any #include in source or
header files that it's given, which was causing nm-enum-types.c to
include files from the Intel WiMAX SDK even when WiMAX wasn't enabled.
We don't use the default dnsmasq directory because packages often drop files
there that don't take account of NM's specific use-case and end up conflicting
with the specific local caching nameserver functionality that NM uses dnsmasq
for. NM's private dnsmasq is orthogonal to whatever global dnsmasq
daemon may be running, and with that daemons configuration.

If bluez is started by systemd but for some reason is not set to
be D-Bus activated (as seems to be the case on Fedora 16 and later),
then don't emit a warning.
NM was requiring that bond slaves have either no IP config or an
explicit "none"/"disabled" config. But the system scripts just ignore
any IP config that is present on a slave, so change NM to do that too
(but warn about it).

The DNS change frequency reduction patches mistakenly changed the signature
of the VpnStateChanged signal. Fix that, since we try really really
hard not to break the D-Bus API in stable branches. My bad...
Allows agents to provide different behavior depending on whether the
secrets request was initiated by a user (eg by picking a connection
from a UI menu or by 'nmcli con up') or was automatically started by
NetworkManager.

Move ra_flags modifications to a dedicated function that
logs the change (if any). Also improve device_set_state()
so that both functions return TRUE if the value actually
changes.
This patch lets pppd negotiate IPv6 parameters using IPV6CP. It allows
dual-stack mobile broadband to work correctly.
Due to the fact that ModemManager hard-codes use of IPv4-only PDP type,
the PDP context must manually be defined first using for example
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IPV4V6","apn". (ModemManager does not overwrite an
already-defined PDP context with the correct APN.)
IPV6CP is not considered essential, so when connecting using an IPv4-
only PDP context, pppd gives up after a retransmitting a few IPV6CP
ConfReqs. The retransmissions happen asynchronously, pppd nor NM waits
for them to finish before activating the IPv4 part of the connections.
The patch also makes pppd support IPv6-only connections (because IPCP
isn't considered essential by pppd either), however NM will currently
fail the entire connection if IPCP/IPv4 doesn't succeed.
If the plugin says the user-provided secrets are insufficient,
make sure we fail instead of potentially overrunning the secrets
counter (which triggered an assert).
When the last character of the PSK was a backslash and the whole PSK was
enclosed in single quotes, the unquoting/unescaping code mistakenly took
trailing \' as an escaped quote and thus changed \ to '.

This commit includes Dan Winship's implementation of IPv6
router solicitation. It also uses it as a last resort
for RDNSS and DNSSL lifetime expiry. While using RS to prevent
lifetime expiry may be deprecated and removed in the future,
the RS implementation is useful in other places too.
It can be also viewed as a last resort if commit e1cfdd5 gets
reverted/modified or if it does not work under some weird
circumstances.
It also includes improvements by cyphermox and me.
RFC 6106 says, section 5.1 says:
In order to provide fixed hosts
with stable DNS service and allow mobile hosts to
prefer local RDNSSes to remote RDNSSes, the value of
Lifetime SHOULD be bounded as
MaxRtrAdvInterval <= Lifetime <= 2*MaxRtrAdvInterval
I have reported and repeatedly confirmed that values in this interval
trigger frequent RDNSS expiration on unreliable links such as 802.11
wifi. Wireless links *do* have packet loss and actually have a *much*
worse multicast packet loss than unicast. And regular router
advertisements are sent as multicast packets (in multicast frames).
In case of RDNSS expiration, NetworkManager tears down the whole
connection. That of course affects IPv4 networking as well as IPv6.
In a typical wireless network with radvd serving RDNSS it leads to
dropping network connection every ~10 minutes.
This commit improves the previous hack in 0b8ee13 by enforcing a minimum
lifetime of two hours (7200 seconds), which is four times the maximum
allowed value for MaxRtrAdvInterval (see below). We could use
AdvDefaultLifetime instead (as suggested by tore_ on IRC) but it doesn't
seem to be accessible through netlink.
RFC 4861 Neighbor Discovery for IP version 6 (IPv6):
MaxRtrAdvInterval
The maximum time allowed between sending
unsolicited multicast Router Advertisements from
the interface, in seconds. MUST be no less than 4
seconds and no greater than 1800 seconds.
This solution is not recommended by any RFC (and is in fact against
RFC 6106) but it's the easiest hack to fix the problem until IETF
takes action.

1fd11bd8d1 consolidated VPN connection
state handling, but that had the effect of making vpn_cleanup() be
called after all other handlers had processed the VPN connection
state change. This meant that the code in vpn_cleanup() that
reapplies the parent device's IP configs ran last, and that code
flushes routes on the device before reapplying them. Since the
policy is a listener on the VPN state change signals, it was
running the default routing updates before vpn_cleanup() got run,
resulting in vpn_cleanup()'s calls to nm_system_apply_ip4_config()
and nm_system_apply_ip6_config() blowing the default route away
which the policy had just set.
Fix that by moving the VPN routing cleanups into the policy, where
most of the routing decisions currently live, causing them to be
run before the default route is fixed up.
The patches that reduced the frequency of changes to /etc/resolv.conf
failed to prefer the VPN DNS information. Even though a VPN may not
be allowed to receive the default route, its DNS information still
needs to be higher priority than interface DNS info, otherwise no
sites on the VPN will be accessible due to glibc's in-order querying
of entries in /etc/resolv.conf.
Consolidate all the DNS handling in the policy instead of sprinkling
it around in the device and vpn code. This allows us to batch the
updates and thus reduce the number of times resolv.conf needs to
be written. It's also easier to follow when and why the changes
occur.
They won't always be updated together; if the hostname changes we
don't need to update routing, and if new routes show up we don't
need to update DNS. This also makes it a lot clearer what's
going on in the routing and DNS update functions.
There used to be two places state was handled: the function that was
called to change the state, and the object method handler for the
VPN connection class. Since the object method handler was marked
RUN_FIRST in it's g_signal_new() definition, we were destroying
internal class data (like the IPv4 config and IP iface) before other
listeners were able to deal with the state change.
That's all kinda pointless. Just consolidate the state change
handling and make all the cleanup for the DISCONNECTED/FAILED
states happen after other listeners have had a chance to process
the signal. It also makes the state change handling a lot clearer.
The previous code did a cheap hash based on pointers, under the
assumption that the IP configs don't get recreated. But with IPv6
the IP6 config that's eventually applied is a composite of the
DHCPv6 and the RA information, and is thus recreated each time
something in the DHCPv6 or RA changes. Switch to actually hashing
the IP config data and its order to prevent this problem.
Next, add functions to signal that a batch of updates will be
started, and to only commit those updates when all of them
have landed, and if they have actually changed anything. We'll
use these functions later to reduce the number of changes
that get made to /etc/resolv.conf.
Enabling NM_SETTING_IP6_CONFIG_PRIVACY_PREFER_TEMP_ADDR in
nm_device_complete_connection() made IPv6 temp address enabled for connections
created via AddAndActivateConnection() D-Bus call. But it is disabled for other
connections. That is not much consistent. So, do not enable IPv6 privacy when
completing connections and leave it up to users, who would like to use IPv6
Privacy Extensions, to enable it manually.
