... by platform link.
One caveat is that without having a NMDevice instance, matching by
several paramters won't work. Like, matching against the driver would
require us to look it up via ethtool. When having an NMDevice instance,
the driver is cached there, it's unclear we want to call ethtool for
lookup in this case -- though it could be done.
For other options, it's more complicated. Like, the type basically
depends on the NMDevice class. Usually that also works without a
netdev known to kernel (like bluetooth).
The inconsistency that certain matches are not implemented is ugly
indeed. But the effect is as if the spec doesn't match.
Add a variant of nm_device_spec_match_list() that looks up the match
paramters from a platform link instance.
Usually, we have a NMDevice instance that we use for matching.
However, at some places (like inside the device factory's
create_device() method), we might not have a NMDevice instance
to get the match paramters.
Add an alternative form, that gets the match paramters from a platform
link instance.
The code is placed inside src/NetworkManagerUtils.c, because
src/nm-core-utils.c is supposed to be independent of platform.
There were no places where we actually looked up an instance
in the hash-table. All we did was iterating the list.
CList is faster with iterating, has less memory over-head (in this
particular case), and can also do O(1) insert and removal. It's
more suited in every way.
private_server_free() had only one caller: nm_bus_manager_private_server_register().
The only thing that nm_bus_manager_private_server_register() did in
addition was to check for duplicate server tags.
Merge the two functions.
Our convention is that when the body of an if() or for() spawns
more then one line, then it needs curly braces. If it's only one
line, it should have no curly braces. The latter part seems sometimes
a bit inconvenient, because changing
if (some_condition)
do_something ();
gets change to
if (some_condition) {
do_something ();
do_something_else ();
}
the diff shows 3 lines changed, although really only one changed.
But well, that's how it is...
Verify that an 8021x network is preprovisioned on IWD side before
declaring a connection as "available" or "compatible".
Also move the Infrastrucure mode check and the Hidden SSID check in
check_connection_available earlier because even if a compatible AP is
available and the connection can be used with wpa_supplicant, it can't
be used with IWD at this time.
This is mainly to enable using 8021x networks, which have to be
preprovisioned as an IWD config file to be supported and can not be
configured by asking the user for secrets over DBus, this is an IWD's
design choice.
Note that this assumes that secrets are only used during the Stage 2 of
the activation, i.e. for the wifi handshake, not in the later stages.
Keep a list of IWD's Known Networks which are networks that have their
configurations stored by IWD including the secrets, either because they
have been connected to before or because they were preprovisioned on the
machine.
Even Gentoo disables this plugin since before 0.9.8 release
of NetworkManager. Time to say goodbye.
If somebody happens to show up to maintain it, we may resurrect it
later.
If "$distro_plugins=ifnet" was set, configure.ac would use that
to autodetect --with-hostname-persist=gentoo. Replace that autodetect
part by checking for /etc/gentoo-release file.
The option is deprecated together with the ifcfg-suse settings plugin.
Selecting the plugin has no effect at runtime, beside logging a warning.
Drop the configure option.
Note, that if $distro_plugins was set to "ifcfg-suse", it was also used to
autodetect --with-hostname-persist=suse. Now, autodetect the hostname
persist mode based on presence of /etc/SuSE-release file.
Add a new device state reason code for unsupported IP method. It is
returned, for example, when users select manual IP configuration for
WWAN connections:
# nmcli connection mod Gsm ipv4.method manual ipv4.address 1.2.3.4/32
# nmcli connection up Gsm
Error: Connection activation failed: The selected IP method is not
supported
compared to the old:
Error: Connection activation failed: IP configuration could not be
reserved (no available address, timeout, etc.)
Note that we could instead fail the connection validation if the
method is not supported by the connection type, but adding such
limitation now could make existing connections invalid.

The compat implementations return a (transfer none) strv instead of a
(transfer container) one. This has caused double frees in nm-applet:

Don't copy the keys and don't free the container later.

Don't call nm_utils_parse_inaddr_bin() if the string returned by
mm_bearer_ip_config_get_address() and mm_bearer_ip_config_get_gateway()
is NULL, as the function requires a valid pointer. Throw an error if the
address is NULL, but allow an empty gateway.

When a new settings-connection is populated with the actual settings
read from disk by the plugin, calling nm_settings_connection_update()
with KEEP mode also marks it as unsaved, which should not happen on a
new connection just written to (or read from) disk.
Introduce a new KEEP_SAVED persist mode that is similar to KEEP but
clears the UNSAVED flag.

NMManager tries to assign unique route-metrics in an increasing manner
so that the device which activates first keeps to have the best routes.
This information is also persisted in the device's state file, however
we not only need to persist the effective route-metric which was
eventually chosen by NMManager, but also the aspired metric.
The reason is that when a metric is chosen for a device, the entire
range between aspired and effective route-metric is reserved for that
device. We must remember the entire range so that after restart the
entire range is still considered to be in use.
Fixes: 6a32c64d8f
If a volatile connection is deleted by user when it was already being
deleted internally because the device vanished, we may hit the
following failed assertion:
file src/settings/nm-settings-connection.c: line 2196
(nm_settings_connection_signal_remove): should not be reached
The @removed flag keeps track of whether we already signaled the
connection removal. Instead of throwing an assertion if we try to emit
the signal again, just return without action because this can happen
in the situation described above.
While at it, remove the @allow_reuse argument from
nm_settings_connection_signal_remove(): we should never emit the
signal twice. Instead, we should reset the @removed flag when the
connection is added.

First check that the limit of 50 metric points is not surpassed.
Otherwise, if you have an ethernet device (aspired 100, effective
130) and a MACSec devic (aspired 125, effective 155), activating a
new ethernet device would bump it's metric to 155 -- more then
the 50 points limit.
It doesn't matter too much, because the cases where the limit of
50 could have been surpassed were very specific. Still, change
it to ensure that the limit is always honored as one would expect.

Since meson 0.44 there is a new option type called `array`, which
allows to use an array with different values in those options.
These fits the needs of different options that are used to pass
binary paths, which have multiple paths as an alternate locations.
meson's version has been bumped to 0.44 and different options have
been changed to `array` type options.

The compiler warns when we ignore the return value from write().
And assigning it to an unused variable, causes another warning.
Make some use of it, at least to handle EINTR. All other errors
are still ignored.
While at it, rework the write code to first write to a buffer
in memory.

Makes sense in order for the user to know that they're actually typing
the password (edited just to illustrate the point, the actual output was
shamefully messy and perhaps needs fixing too):
$ nmcli c up Wrathmosphere
Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the wireless network 'Wrathmosphere'.
Password (802-1x.password): *********
Having it in libnm doesn't make any sense and prevents using it for more
internal functionality.
Too bad nm_utils_wifi_strength_bars() is already a public API.
No problem -- replace it with a compatible yet dumber equivalent.
History is probably even not useful at all outside the interactive edit
mode, but that is another story. This just avoids awkward surprises,
