Setting the kernel token is not strictly necessary as the IPv6 address
is generated in userspace by NetworkManager. However it is convenient
for users to see that the value set in the profile is also set in the
kernel, to confirm that everything is working as expected.
The kernel allows setting a token only when 'accept_ra' is 1:
temporarily flip it if necessary. Unfortunately this will also
generate an additional Router Solicitation from kernel, but this is
not a big issue.
When a team device is assumed, we skip stage1 and imply that teamd is
already running. If this doesn't happen (for example because teamd was
manually stopped or because the interface was created in the initrd),
the team interface will continue processing traffic but will not react
to changes in the environment (e.g. carrier changes). Ensure that
teamd is running for assumed devices.
Rework qdisc synchronization. The previous implementation added all
known qdiscs and removed unneeded ones from platform; this had some
problems:
- kernel doesn't allow to add (with exclusive flag) a qdisc if one
with the same parent already exists;
- if we use the replace flag instead of add, then it becomes possible
to add a new qdisc with the same parent of an existing one. However
if the existing qdisc is of the same kind, kernel will try to to
change() it, which fails for some qdiscs (e.g. sfq).
- kernel doesn't allow to delete a qdisc with handle of zero because
that is the default qdisc and can only be replaced;
Fix that.
Usually stage1 is skipped for external or assumed devices. Add a
mechanism to call stage1 for all devices, similarly to what was
already done for stage2.

S390 options are stored in a separate [ethernet-s390-options] section.
This group must not be interpreted as a NMSetting name, otherwise we
log a bogus warning:
<warn> [1590523563.7757] keyfile: ethernet-s390-options: invalid setting name 'ethernet-s390-options'
Fixes: cf9b8d3bad ('libnm/keyfile: implement ethernet.s390-options in keyfile')
When searching an element that is lower than the first list element (for
example RTNL type "batadv"), imax will be -1 after the last iteration.
Use int instead of unsigned to make the termination condition imin > imax
work in this case. This fixes NetworkManager crashing due to an
out-of-bounds array access whenever interfaces of such types exist.

Iterating the hash gives the entries in undefined order. That
means, when validation would fail for more than one option,
then the error message arbitrarily points out one or the other.
Instead, process the entries in a defined order.
Note that nm_setting_ethtool_set_coalesce() used to coerce
"coalesce-adaptive-[rt]x" values to 0 or 1. The alternative
API doesn't do that. But so does nm_setting_option_set()
not tell you whether the value you set is valid. That is
not the options of the setters, for that we have verify().
More general purpose API for generic options of settings.
The predicate function is also nicely usable via bindings.
One question is about the form of the predicate. In this case,
it is convenient to pass nm_ethtool_optname_is_coalesce(). On the
other hand, it's not very flexible as it does not accept a user
data argument. Use NMUtilsPredicateStr here, which is not flexible
but convenient for where it's used.
NMSettingEthtool is implemented using "gendata", meaning a hash
of GVariant. This is different from most other settings that have
properties implemented as GObject properties. There are two reasons
for this approach:
- The setting is transferred via D-Bus as "a{sv}" dictionary.
By unpacking the dictionary into GObject properties, the setting
cannot handle unknown properties. To be forward compatible (and
due to sloppy programming), unknown dictionary keys are silently
ignored when parsing a NMSetting. That is error prone and also
prevents settings to be treated loss-less.
Instead, we should at first accept all values from the dictionary.
Only in a second step, nm_connection_verify() rejects invalid settings
with an error reason. This way, the user can create a NMSetting,
but in a separate step handle if the setting doesn't verify.
"gendata" solves this by tracking the full GVariant dictionary.
This is still not entirely lossless, because multiple keys are
combined.
This is for example interesting if an libnm client fetches a connection
from a newer NetworkManager version. Now the user can modify the
properties that she knows about, while leaving all unknown
properties (from newer versions) in place.
- the approach aims to reduce the necessary boiler plate to create
GObject properties. Adding a new property should require less new code.
This approach was always be intended to be suitable for all settings, not only
NMSettingEthtool. We should not once again try to add API like
nm_setting_ethtool_set_feature(), nm_setting_ethtool_set_coalesce(), etc.
Note that the option name already fully encodes whether it is a feature,
a coalesce option, or whatever. We should not have
"nm_setting_set_$SUB_GROUP (setting, $ONE_NAME_FROM_GROUP)" API, but
simply "nm_setting_option_set (setting, $OPTION)" accessors.
Also, when parsing a NMSettingEthtool from a GVariant, then a feature
option can be any kind of variant. Only nm_setting_verify() rejects
variants of the wrong type. As such, nm_setting_option_set*() also
doesn't validate whether the variant type matches the option. Of course,
if you set a value of wrong type, verify() will reject the setting.
Add new general purpose API for this and expose it for NMSetting.
We are going to expose some of this API in libnm.
The name "gendata" (for "generic data") is not very suited. Instead,
call the public API nm_setting_option_*(). This also brings no naming
conflict, because currently no API exists with such naming.
Rename the internal API, so that it matches the API that we are going
to expose next.
This was intended for when the gendata hash should be converted
to/from a GValue/GHashTable. This would have been used, if
we also would have added a GObject property that exposes
the hash. But that was never done (at least not for NMSettingEthtool
and not yet).
This code is not used. If you ever need it, revert the patch
or implement it anew.
This function is not used nor does it seem useful.
Either you only need the names (nm_setting_gendata_get_all_names())
or you need the names and values together (_nm_setting_gendata_get_all()).
Getting the values without knowing the corresponding name makes
little sense. If you need it, call _nm_setting_gendata_get_all()
instead.
Don't duplicate the code that maps the option to the variant type.
Also, only resolve the name to NMEthtoolID once. Multiple calls
to nm_ethtool_optname_is_*() unnecessarily need to convert the
string to the ethtool id multiple times.
We already have NMEthtoolID to handle coalesce options in a way that is
convenient programmatically. That is, we can iterate over all valid
coalesce options (it's just an integer) and use that in a more generic
way.
If NMEthtoolCoalesceState names all fields explicitly, we need explicit
code that names each coalesce option. Especially since NMEthtoolCoalesceState
is an internal and intermediate data structure, this is cumbersome
and unnecessary.
Thereby it also fixes the issue that nm_platform_ethtool_init_coalesce() has a
NMPlatform argument without actually needing it.
nm_platform_ethtool_init_coalesce() does not operate on a NMPlatform
instance, and should not have the appearance of being a method of
NMPlatform.
