We no longer add these. If you use Emacs, configure it yourself.
Also, due to our "smart-tab" usage the editor anyway does a subpar
job handling our tabs. However, on the upside every user can choose
whatever tab-width he/she prefers. If "smart-tabs" are used properly
(like we do), every tab-width will work.
No manual changes, just ran commands:
F=($(git grep -l -e '-\*-'))
sed '1 { /\/\* *-\*- *[mM]ode.*\*\/$/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
sed '1,4 { /^\(#\|--\|dnl\) *-\*- [mM]ode/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
Check remaining lines with:
git grep -e '-\*-'
The ultimate purpose of this is to cleanup our files and eventually use
SPDX license identifiers. For that, first get rid of the boilerplate lines.
Since we can easily lookup the vtable for a NMSetting8021xSchemeType,
it is convenient to also easily get the scheme_type for a given
NMSetting8021xSchemeVtable.
On my x86_64, this change is basically for free as it does not increase
the size of NMSetting8021xSchemeVtable, because the scheme_type fits in a
previously unused part of the NMSetting8021xSchemeVtable struct.
For now only add the core settings, no peers' data.
To support peers and the allowed-ips of the peers is more complicated
and will be done later. It's more complicated because these are nested
lists (allowed-ips) inside a list (peers). That is quite unusual and to
conveniently support that in D-Bus API, in keyfile format, in libnm,
and nmcli, is a effort.
Also, it's further complicated by the fact that each peer has a secret (the
preshared-key). Thus we probably need secret flags for each peer, which
is a novelty as well (until now we require a fixed set of secrets per
profile that is well known).
Add a new 'match' setting containing properties to match a connection
to devices. At the moment only the interface-name property is present
and, contrary to connection.interface-name, it allows the use of
wildcards.
Note that in NetworkManager API (D-Bus, libnm, and nmcli),
the features are called "feature-xyz". The "feature-" prefix
is used, because NMSettingEthtool possibly will gain support
for options that are not only -K|--offload|--features, for
example -C|--coalesce.
The "xzy" suffix is either how ethtool utility calls the feature
("tso", "rx"). Or, if ethtool utility specifies no alias for that
feature, it's the name from kernel's ETH_SS_FEATURES ("tx-tcp6-segmentation").
If possible, we prefer ethtool utility's naming.
Also note, how the features "feature-sg", "feature-tso", and
"feature-tx" actually refer to multiple underlying kernel features
at once. This too follows what ethtool utility does.
The functionality is not yet implemented server-side.
nm_meta_setting_infos_by_name() did a naive search by name by
iterating over all 42 setting types.
Reorder nm_meta_setting_infos array, and use binary search instead.
Previously, each (non abstract) NMSetting class had to register
its name and priority via _nm_register_setting().
Note, that libnm-core.la already links against "nm-meta-setting.c",
which also redundantly keeps track of the settings name and gtype
as well.
Re-use NMMetaSettingInfo also in libnm-core.la, to track this meta
data.
The goal is to get rid of private data structures that track
meta data about NMSetting classes. In this case, "registered_settings"
hash. Instead, we should have one place where all this meta data
is tracked. This was, it is also accessible as internal API,
which can be useful (for keyfile).
Note that NMSettingClass has some overlap with NMMetaSettingInfo.
One difference is, that NMMetaSettingInfo is const, while NMSettingClass
is only initialized during the class_init() method. Appart from that,
it's mostly a matter of taste, whether we attach meta data to
NMSettingClass, to NMMetaSettingInfo, or to a static-array indexed
by NMMetaSettingType.
Note, that previously, _nm_register_setting() was private API. That
means, no user could subclass a functioning NMSetting instance. The same
is still true: NMMetaSettingInfo is internal API and users cannot access
it to create their own NMSetting subclasses. But that is almost desired.
libnm is not designed, to be extensible via subclassing, nor is it
clear why that would be a useful thing to do. One day, we should remove
the NMSetting and NMSettingClass definitions from public headers. Their
only use is subclassing the types, which however does not work.
While libnm-core was linking already against nm-meta-setting.c,
nm_meta_setting_infos was unreferenced. So, this change increases
the binary size of libnm and NetworkManager (1032 bytes). Note however
that roughly the same information was previously allocated at runtime.
This part contains static functions and variables to describe
settings. It is distinct from the mechanism to use them, or
access them.
Split it out.
It still uses clients/cli/common.h and clients/cli/utils.h
which shall be fixed next.
