Calling nl_recvmsgs_default() leads dirctly to recvmsgs() from
"nl.c". This functions reads messages (recvmsg) in a loop and
invokes the callbacks.
Later we want to merge nlh and nlh_event, meaning that we must
anticipate parsing unrelated messages while waiting for an ACK.
While that would be possible by registering different callbacks
and letting them interact, it is actually more complicated. Just
assume full control over the message parsing.
Basically, copy recvmsgs() to event_handler_recvmsg(). For now just
copy the function and do little adjustment (to show the similarity
to the original). Cleanup follows.
The nm_device_master_add_slave() also modifies slave's master property which
impacts the ability to enslave. When called in reaction to external
master property change we now no longer call enslave_slave which used to queue
the recheck previously:
# nmcli c add type bridge ifname br0
# ip link add dummy0 type dummy
# ip link set dummy0 up
# ip link set dummy0 master br0 # We should recheck for assumed connection
# here, since dummy0 can now be assumed.
We only need to do that when we're replacing the master with a different
one. Just after the link creation is has no master and we'd remove it
from the master device here.
Randomly choosing one between the two link creation methods (platform
and external) makes it more difficult to immediately detect when a bug
in introduced. Always execute them using both methods to have a better
code coverage, but still try a third time with a random one to test
different combinations of methods.
Fixes a crash if we can't read the ATM index. We need the ATM
index, and we can't do anything with the device before we have it,
so don't bother creating one if we we can't get it.

At some point the platform changed to no longer ask the kernel for
interfaces when one wasn't in its cache, but to wait for netlink
events to be notified of the new interface. That broke some assumptions
that the ADSL code was making, causing a crash.
Rework the ADSL br2684 interface to clean up a couple of things
(get rid of 'disposed', consolidate dispose/deactivate cleanup) and
watch for the br2684 interface to show up with a periodic timeout.
Only do so on user initiated changes. Fixes this:
# ip link add br0 type bridge
# ip addr add 2001:DB8::666/64 dev br0
# ip link set br0 up # A generated connection is assumed
# ip link del br0 # The device and its address are removed.
# The address removal triggers an update
# of the connection's ipv6 settings,
# which causes the NMDevice to reappear.
# ip link add br0 type bridge # The new plink is associated with
# the NMDevice, managed by NM
Fixes autoconnect after the device is realized again:
# nmcli c add type team
# nmcli c up team
# nmcli d dis nm-team # autoconnect is blocked
# nmcli c del team # the is unrealized
# nmcli c add type team # the device is realized again, not
# activating with the new connection
It allows nmcli and nmtui to ask for VPN passwords and thus successfully
activate VPN connections.
There is a special handling for OpenConnect, because the user does not know
the secrets. They have to be obtained by authenticating to OpenConnect server.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975185
OpenConnect needs three secrets - COOKIE, HOST and FINGERPRINT. They can be
obtained by authenticating to the server. This can be performed by running
"openconnect --authenticate <host>" and the three values are printed to stdout.
Note that the function may (probably will) interactively ask user for
his credentials.
Alternatively, it would be possible to dlopen() libopenconnect and call its
functions. However, as that would be more complicated and would also require
implementing functionality that openconnect simply does for free for us, it is
not worth it, I think.
