Up until now, a default-route (with prefix length zero) could not
be configured directly. The user could only set ipv4.gateway,
ipv4.never-default, ipv4.route-metric and ipv4.route-table to influence
the setting of the default-route (respectively for IPv6).
That is a problematic limitation. For one, whether a route has prefix
length zero or non-zero does not make a fundamental difference. Also,
it makes it impossible to configure all the routing attributes that one can
configure otherwise for static routes. For example, the default-route could
not be configured as "onlink", could not have a special MTU, nor could it be
placed in a dedicated routing table.
Fix that by lifting the restriction. Note that "ipv4.never-default" does
not apply to /0 manual routes. Likewise, the previous manners of
configuring default-routes ("ipv4.gateway") don't conflict with manual
default-routes.
Server-side this all the pieces are already in place to accept a default-route
as static routes. This was done by earlier commits like 5c299454b4
('core: rework tracking of gateway/default-route in ip-config').
A long time ago, NMIPRoute would assert that the prefix length is
positive. That was relaxed by commit a2e93f2de4 ('libnm: allow zero
prefix length for NMIPRoute'), already before 1.0.0. Using libnm from
before 1.0.0 would result in assertion failures.
Note that the default-route-metric-penalty based on connectivity
checking applies to all /0 routes, even these static routes. Be they
added due to DHCP, "ipv4.gateway", "ipv4.routes" or "wireguard.peer-routes".
I wonder whether doing that unconditionally is desirable, and maybe
there should be a way to opt-out/opt-in for the entire profile or even
per-routes.

Minor refactoring so that there is only a one-line change necessary to
flip the implementation of the "internal" DHCP plugin for IPv4 from
"systemd" to "nettools".
We don't do that yet, because there are still some issues (e.g. the
lease is not persisted for nettools plugin). Eventually we want to
switch, so prepare the code to be almost there.
We have the "internal" DHCP plugin. That's our preferred plugin,
and eventually we may drop all other plugins.
Currently, the "internal" plugin is based on code from systemd-networkd
and implemented in "src/dhcp/nm-dhcp-systemd.c". As this code is forked
we eventually want to switch to nettools' n-dhcp4 library (for IPv4).
For that reason we already have "src/dhcp/nm-dhcp-nettools.c".
Note that "nettools" can be configured as a DHCP plugin, but this configuration
is only experimental and for testing. There is never supposed to be a
"nettools" plugin, but eventually the "internal" plugin will switch
implementation.
We don't want to replace systemd-based implementation right away. Not until
we are sure that nettools works well. For that reason we keep them
both in parallel for a while.
This commit makes "systemd" DHCP plugin explicitly configurable
in NetworkManager.conf. Like "nettools" this is an undocumented option,
only for testing.
If you choose "internal" (the default), you get one of the
implementations (currently the "systemd" one). But by selecting
"systemd" or "nettools" explicitly, you can select the exact plugin.
BlueZ 5.0 was released in December 2012 and broke API with
BlueZ 4. NetworkManager supports Bluez 5 for years already.
Of course, version 4 is long gone by now, so remove it.
We now only call the idle action with the same reason: authorized.
That is since we no longer use GDBusProxy, there are no other reasons
where we would fail.
Drop the unused code.
I encountered a failure in the log
<trace> [1564647990.7822] keyfile: commit: deleting nmmeta file "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/35370b0b-e53b-42ea-9fe3-f1b1d552343b.nmmeta" failed
<trace> [1564647990.7822] keyfile: commit: deleting nmmeta file "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/35370b0b-e53b-42ea-9fe3-f1b1d552343b.nmmeta" simulated
I think that was due to SELinux (rh #1738010).
Let nms_keyfile_nmmeta_write() return an errno code so we can log
more information about the failure.
... and nm_utils_fd_get_contents() and nm_utils_file_set_contents().
Don't mix negative errno return value with a GError output. Instead,
return a boolean result indicating success or failure.
Also, optionally
- output GError
- set out_errsv to the positive errno (or 0 on success)
Obviously, the return value and the output arguments (contents, length,
out_errsv, error) must all agree in their success/failure result.
That means, you may check any of the return value, out_errsv, error, and
contents to reliably detect failure or success.
Also note that out_errsv gives the positive(!) errno. But you probably
shouldn't care about the distinction and use nm_errno_native() either
way to normalize the value.
nm_utils_file_set_contents() is a re-implementation of g_file_set_contents(),
as such it returned merely a boolean success value.
It's sometimes interesting to get the native error code. Let the function
deviate from glib's original g_file_set_contents() and return the error code
(as negative value) instead.
This requires all callers to change. Also, it's potentially a dangerous
change, as this is easy to miss.
Note that nm_utils_file_get_contents() also returns an errno, and
already deviates from g_file_get_contents() in the same way. This patch
resolves at least the inconsistency with nm_utils_file_get_contents().
The secret-agent D-Bus API knows 4 methods: GetSecrets, SaveSecrets,
DeleteSecrets and CancelGetSecrets. When we cancel a GetSecrets
request, we must issue another CancelGetSecrets to tell the agent
that the request was aborted. This is also true during shutdown.
Well, technically, during shutdown we anyway drop off the bus and
it woudn't matter. In practice, I think we should get this right and
always cancel properly.
To better handle shutdown change the following:
- each request now takes a reference on NMSecretAgent. That means,
as long as there are pending requests, the instance stays alive.
The way to get this right during shutdown, is that NMSecretAgent
registers itself via nm_shutdown_wait_obj_register() and
NetworkManager is supposed to keep running as long as requests
are keeping the instance alive.
- now, the 3 regular methods are cancellable (which means: we are
no longer interested in the result). CancelGetSecrets is not
cancellable, but it has a short timeout NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MS
to handle this. We anyway don't really care about the result,
aside logging and to be sure that the request fully completed.
- this means, a request (NMSecretAgentCallId) can now immediately
be cancelled and destroyed, both when the request returns and
when the caller cancels it. The exception is GetSecrets which
keeps the request alive while waiting for CancelGetSecrets. But
this is easily handled by unlinking the call-id and pass it on
to the CancelGetSecrets callback.
Previously, the NMSecretAgentCallId was only destroyed when
the D-Bus call returns, even if it was cancelled earlier. That's
unnecessary complicated.
- previously, D-Bus requests SaveSecrets and DeleteSecrets were not cancellable.
That is a problem. We need to be able to cancel them in order to shutdown in
time.
- use GDBusConnection instead of GDBusProxy. As most of the time, GDBusProxy
provides features we don't use.
- again, don't log direct pointer values, but obfuscate the indentifiers.
In the past, we had a private unix socket. That is long gone.
Drop the remains in "nm-secret-agent.c". The request here really
always comes from the main D-Bus connection.
Maybe the private unix socket makes sense and we might resurrect it one
day. But at that point it would be an entire rewrite and the existing
code is probably not useful either way. Drop it.
- add nm_c_list_elem_find_first() macro that takes a predicate
and returns the first match.
This macro has a non-function-like behavior, which we often try to
avoid because macros should behave like functions. In this case it's
however convenient, so let's do it.
Also, despite being non-function-like, it should be pretty hard to
use wrongly.
- rename nm_c_list_elem_find_first() to nm_c_list_elem_find_first_ptr().
- Don't use GDBusProxy but plain GDBusConnection. NMFirewallManager
is very simple, it doesn't use any of the features that GDBusProxy
provides.
- make NMFirewallManagerCallId typedef a pointer to the opaque call-id
struct, instead of the struct itself. It's confusing to have a
variable that does not look like a pointer and assigning %NULL to
it.
- internally drop the CBInfo typename and name the call-id variable
constsistantly as "call_id".
- no need to keep the call-id struct alive after cancelling it. That
simplifies the lifetime managment of the pending call because the
completion callback is always invoked shortly before destroying
the call-id.
- note that the caller is no longer allowed to cancel a call-id from
inside the completion callback. That just complicates the
implementation and is not necessary. Assert against that.

Our coding style is to indent with tabs, but align with spaces.
This is not about the coding style though, but about the code
looking broken when not using 4 spaces per tab (in fact, some code
there is aligned as if using 8 spaces and it's already inconsistent).
Realign with spaces.

After 1.20.0 is released, merge it back into master so that
1.20.0 is part of the history of master. That means,
$ git log --first-parent master
will also traverse 1.20.0 and 1.20-rc*.
Also bump the micro version to 1.21.1-dev to indicate that this is
after 1.20.0 is out.
WARNING: Project targetting '>= 0.44.0' but tried to use feature
