This job was supposed to run periodically. However, it stopped working
when a "workflow" section was added to .gitlab-ci.yml because it
prevented pipelines of the type "scheduled" to be created.
7fa72645e5 ('gitlab-ci: make detached MR pipeline for external contributor's pipelines to run')
Now, if it's run, it fails with error:
multi_xml requires Ruby version >= 3.1.4. The current ruby version is 2.7.8.225.
Let's disable the job until we fix it and we decide what triage we want
to do. When we do it, we will need to adapt the jobs to be run with the
right periodicity, maybe using custom pipeline variables.
This will force to regenerate the various images of the distributions
that we want to test so we get an updated snapshot on them. Otherwise we
might be testing a months old version of them.
A bug in ci-fairy was making the deletion of the images to partially
fail. It is fixed in the latest version of ci-fairy, so we need to
update the value of templates_sha to pick it.
The task will run only on pipelines of type "scheduled". Then we can
create a weekly scheduled pipeline in Gitlab.
If a connection is in-memory (i.e. has flag "unsaved"), after a
checkpoint and rollback it can be wrongly persisted to disk:
- if the connection was modified and written to disk after the
rollback, during the rollback we update it again with persist mode
"keep", which keeps it on disk;
- if the connection was deleted after the rollback, during the
rollback we add it again with persist mode "to-disk".
Instead, remember whether the connection had the "unsaved" flag set
and try to restore the previous state.
However, this is not straightforward as there are 4 different possible
states for the settings connection: persistent; in-memory only;
in-memory shadowing a persistent file; in-memory shadowing a detached
persistent file (i.e. the deletion of the connection doesn't delete
the persistent file). Handle all those cases.

When we recibe a Netlink message with a "route change" event, normally
we just ignore it if it's a route that we don't track (i.e. because of
the route protocol).
However, it's not that easy if it has the NLM_F_REPLACE flag because
that means that it might be replacing another route. If the kernel has
similar routes which are candidates for the replacement, it's hard for
NM to guess which one of those is being replaced (as the kernel doesn't
have a "route ID" or similar field to indicate it). Moreover, the kernel
might choose to replace a route that we don't have on cache, so we know
nothing about it.
It is important to note that we cannot just discard Netlink messages of
routes that we don't track if they has the NLM_F_REPLACE. For example,
if we are tracking a route with proto=static, we might receive a replace
message, changing that route to proto=other_proto_that_we_dont_track. We
need to process that message and remove the route from our cache.
As NM doesn't know what route is being replaced, trying to guess will
lead to errors that will leave the cache in an inconsistent state.
Because of that, it just do a cache resync for the routes.
For IPv4 there was an optimization to this: if we don't have in the
cache any route candidate for the replacement there are only 2 possible
options: either add the new route to the cache or discard it if we are
not interested on it. We don't need a resync for that.
This commit is extending that optimization to IPv6 routes. There is no
reason why it shouldn't work in the same way than with IPv4. This
optimization will only work well as long as we find potential candidate
routes in the same way than the kernel (comparing the same fields). NM
calls to this "comparing by WEAK_ID". But this can also happen with IPv4
routes.
It is worth it to enable this optimization because there are routing
daemons using custom routing protocols that makes tens or hundreds of
updates per second. If they use NLM_F_REPLACE, this caused NM to do a
resync hundreds of times per second leading to a 100% CPU usage:
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-26195
An additional but smaller optimization is done in this commit: if we
receive a route message for routes that we don't track AND doesn't have
the NLM_F_REPLACE flag, we can ignore the entire message, thus avoiding
the memory allocation of the nmp_object. That nmp_object was going to be
ignored later, anyway, so better to avoid these allocations that, with
the routing daemon of the above's example, can happen hundreds of times
per second.
With this changes, the CPU usage doing `ip route replace` 300 times/s
drops from 100% to 1%. Doing `ip route replace` as fast as possible,
without any rate limitting, still keeps NM with a 3% CPU usage in the
system that I have used to test.
The D-Bus and C APIs admit setting the 802.1X certificates as blobs, as
the documentation of the properties explains. However, this is not
possible from nmcli, where only path to the certificates' files is possible.
This difference in nmcli was explained in the description message that
is shown in nmcli's editor, but this is a documentation that most users
won't ever see, and still the main documentation in nm-settings-nmcli is
missleading.
Add a nmcli specific documentation for the relevant properties and
remove the nmcli's editor descriptions as they are no longer needed.
This allows SLAAC for IPv6 to be performed, even when no IPv6
address was passed by the bearer. The link-local address will be
assigned, because of do_auto = TRUE.
The commit also allows the DNS assignment to be made statically when
no IPv6 address has been statically assigned yet. This is to be able
to receive IPv6 DNS servers via signalling, where host SLAAC still
needs to be performed for some modems (e.g. some huawei modems).
This also changes the logging so that SLAAC usage is logged
on a separate line.
In the gtkdoc comments, the text below tags like `Since: 1.2` is
discarded. In the property `autoconnect-slaves` a line indicating its
deprecation was below one of these tags. As a result, it was missing in
the man page. Fix it.
Fixes: 194455660d ('connection: deprecate NMSettingConnection autoconnect-slaves property')
We had an agreement on what distributions should we test and when. We'll
test in Tier 2 those distros that can potentially use the current
version of NM and in Tier 3 those distros that are still maintained (not
EOL'd).
So, Tier 2 is to catch errors that might be severe because might be
blocking for the distributions planning to use the current NM version,
they must be fixed ASAP, before doing the release if possible. These
"distribution versions" will be different for main branch than for
stable branches:
- Debian 12 uses NM-1.42, so Debian 12 should be Tier 2 in the branch
nm-1-42.
- However, Debian 12 will never use newer stable versions, so it should
be Tier 3 in main branch.
We want to run the Tier 3 tests even if those distros won't use newer
vesions of NM because they are useful to test NM compilation with older
compilers and tools. Fixing failures here might not be considered
urgent, though.
To save resources from Freedesktop we'll run Tier 1 on every MR and
Tiers 2 and 3 before doing a release, or on demand if we need.
GCC 14 with LTO complains with:

even if the warning is disabled via pragma directives in that
code. This looks like the following GCC bug:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80922
saying
We do not track warning options (and thus optimize pragmas /
attributes) across LTO because they are not saved in the function
specific optimization flag section.
We use a (NMTeamLinkWatcher *) to point to a memory area that is
shorter than the struct, because depending on the watcher type we need
to store different parameters; in this way we can save few bytes of
memory for some watcher types. However, this often breaks when
upgrading the compiler; instead just allocate the full struct.

"-Wmaybe-uninitialized" diagnoses passing pointers or references to
uninitialized memory to functions taking const-qualified arguments.
In this case, nm_uuid_generate_from_string_str()'s first argument is a
"const char *" and so the compiler expects that the string is always
initialized. However, it is not initialized when len is zero.
A non-null zero-length array can be specified in two ways: by setting
len to zero, or by setting len to -1 and having NULL as first
element. Handle both cases in the same way.
