Current versions of libnl3 use nl_addr_get_len() instead of
nl_addr_get_prefixlen() to determine the default route. Therefore we're
employing a workaround that sets the address length to zero for default
routes.
Unfortunately this workaround causes nl_addr to have wrong address size,
which in turn requires another workaround in init_ip4_route() as well as
init_ip6_route() to cope with the inconsistency.
Even though this solution is very very ugly, we didn't find a better
one. Not calling rtnl_route_set_dst() didn't solve the problem. Thomas
Graf promised to fix the libnl problem upstream. When bumping dependency
to a version that does this correctly, the workarounds can be removed.
With the move of udev logic into the Linux platform class, the
link-added signals are asynchronous, that is they are not emitted
during the call to nm_platform_*_add(), but after that call has
returned. The Fake implementation still emitted them synchronously,
which broke the testcases. Convert the Fake implementation to emit
link-added signals asynchronously and update the testcases to handle
this.
Just ignore this, since it happens in the current code and is
harmless. While we're here, improve the warning in the case where it
does occur to say whiich state we're overwriting. This should help
debug any future cases.
NM handles the default routes, so they shouldn't show up in the NMIP4Config
for any interface. They get exposed via the 'default' and 'default6' properties
of the ActiveConnection instead.
We have to copy the UUID (key) because otherwise the pointer can be invalidated
when the connection is destroyed and problems will start.
The issue showed up as an unability to delete a conenction via D-Bus.
Reproducer:
$ nmcli con add type eth con-name AAA ifname blah
$ nmcli con delete AAA
$ nmcli con add type eth con-name AAA ifname blah
$ nmcli con delete AAA
-- here the connection is not removed from NM
(even though ifcfg- file) was removed --
Since the platform started using udev for link-added signals, we need
to run the glib mainloop to wait for the udev signals to come in,
instead of expecting them to be emitted immediately.
If things happen just right, where a bond is the first device to use
IPv6 and thus has the only reference to the NMIP6Manager, and the
RTM_NEWROUTE event comes in and triggers manager_request_ip6_info()
but then the device is removed by 'rmmod bonding', the call to
manager_request_ip6_info() could be dangling after the IP6Manager
has been disposed. Fix that.
Due to the hardware address changes in 77dda53b (danw/hwlen) creating
a new Bluetooth device was crashing. The changes there assumed that the
NMDeviceBt's hardware address should only be valid when we were connected
to the device, but that's not quite true. Since we already know the remote
device's Bluetooth hardware address, we already know the hardware address
for the NMDeviceBt as well.
The function only checked whether wimax was enabled (rfkill/user pref)
and whether wimaxd was running. Only nm-device.c calls this function
for WiMAX devices, and the only two uses of it were during activation
(which is already covered by nm-device-wimax.c's is_available() function)
and when the device enters the UNAVAILABLE state, where it is used
to check for missing firmware, which is implemented by the parent
class, not WiMAX.
These turn out to be pretty useless, since their functions are already
covered by each device's state-changed handler or can be done in other
places like deactivate().

Add a "monitor-connection-files" config option, which can be set to
"false" to disable automatic reloading of connections on file change.
To go with this, add a new ReloadConnections method on
o.fd.NM.Settings that can be used to manually reload connections, and
add an nm-cli command to call it.
Some plugins may emit :new-connection or :unmanaged-specs-changed
while reading connections, so don't connect to those signals until
after the initial load_connections() (and just unconditionally emit
:unmanaged-specs-changed at that point).
In ifcfg-rh's get_unmanaged_specs(), don't bother to try to read the
connections first; if they haven't been read yet, just return NULL;
NMSettings will call it again after the connections have been read.
doing:
./configure --disable-gtk-doc
make clean
make
from a tarball build (or from a dirty tree that had previously had an
--enable-gtk-doc build) would fail, because configure would see the
pre-existing man pages and set INSTALL_PREGEN_MANPAGES, but "make
clean" would delete them, and there'd be no rule to regenerate them.
ifcfg-rh didn't let you unmanage an InfiniBand device by hardware
address because it was recording the hardware address with uppercase
letters, while nm_match_spec_hwaddr() required lowercase. Fix this by
making nm_match_spec_hwaddr() match case-insensitively (and remove the
manual lowercasing that several other places were doing to work around
this.)
keyfile didn't let you unmanage an InfiniBand device by hardware
address because it only accepted ARPHRD_ETHER hardware addresses. Fix
that by using nm_utils_hwaddr_valid() instead.
Optional 'ifname' allowed creating connection applicable to all interfaces,
which was confusing for some users. Now we require the user to provide ifname
to lock the connection for an interface. An "unbound" connection can be
created with ifname "*".
$ nmcli connection add type eth ifname eth0
$ nmcli connection add type eth
now becomes
$ nmcli connection add type eth ifname "*"
bond, bridge:
- when ifname is not specified or is "*",
interface name is generated (nm-bond, nm-bridge)
vlan:
- when ifname is not specified or is "*",
vlan device is named "dev.id"
Note: the quotes around * are required to suppress shell expansion.
