Thomas Haller ce0e898fb4 libnm: refactor caching of D-Bus objects in NMClient
No longer use GDBusObjectMangaerClient and gdbus-codegen generated classes
for the NMClient cache. Instead, use GDBusConnection directly and a
custom implementation (NMLDBusObject) for caching D-Bus' ObjectManager
data.

CHANGES
-------

- This is a complete rework. I think the previous implementation was
difficult to understand. There were unfixed bugs and nobody understood
the code well enough to fix them. Maybe somebody out there understood the
code, but I certainly did not. At least nobody provided patches to fix those
issues. I do believe that this implementation is more straightforward and
easier to understand. It removes a lot of layers of code. Whether this claim
of simplicity is true, each reader must decide for himself/herself. Note
that it is still fairly complex.

- There was a lingering performance issue with large number of D-Bus
objects. The patch tries hard that the implementation scales well. Of
course, when we cache N objects that have N-to-M references to other,
we still are fundamentally O(N*M) for runtime and memory consumption (with
M being the number of references between objects). But each part should behave
efficiently and well.

- Play well with GMainContext. libnm code (NMClient) is generally not
thread safe. However, it should work to use multiple instances in
parallel, as long as each access to a NMClient is through the caller's
GMainContext. This follows glib's style and effectively allows to use NMClient
in a multi threaded scenario. This implies to stick to a main context
upon construction and ensure that callbacks are only invoked when
iterating that context. Also, NMClient itself shall never iterate the
caller's context. This also means, libnm must never use g_idle_add() or
g_timeout_add(), as those enqueue sources in the g_main_context_default()
context.

- Get ordering of messages right. All events are consistently enqueued
in a GMainContext and processed strictly in order. For example,
previously "nm-object.c" tried to combine signals and emit them on an
idle handler. That is wrong, signals must be emitted in the right order
and when they happen. Note that when using GInitable's synchronous initialization
to initialize the NMClient instance, NMClient internally still operates fully
asynchronously. In that case NMClient has an internal main context.

- NMClient takes over most of the functionality. When using D-Bus'
ObjectManager interface, one needs to handle basically the entire state
of the D-Bus interface. That cannot be separated well into distinct
parts, and even if you try, you just end up having closely related code
in different source files. Spreading related code does not make it
easier to understand, on the contrary. That means, NMClient is
inherently complex as it contains most of the logic. I think that is
not avoidable, but it's not as bad as it sounds.

- NMClient processes D-Bus messages and state changes in separate steps.
First NMClient unpacks the message (e.g. _dbus_handle_properties_changed()) and
keeps track of the changed data. Then we update the GObject instances
(_dbus_handle_obj_changed_dbus()) without emitting any signals yet. Finally,
we emit all signals and notifications that were collected
(_dbus_handle_changes_commit()). Note that for example during the initial
GetManagedObjects() reply, NMClient receive a large amount of state at once.
But we first apply all the changes to our GObject instances before
emitting any signals. The result is that signals are always emitted in a moment
when the cache is consistent. The unavoidable downside is that when you receive
a property changed signal, possibly many other properties changed
already and more signals are about to be emitted.

- NMDeviceWifi no longer modifies the content of the cache from client side
during poke_wireless_devices_with_rf_status(). The content of the cache
should be determined by D-Bus alone and follow what NetworkManager
service exposes. Local modifications should be avoided.

- This aims to bring no API/ABI change, though it does of course bring
various subtle changes in behavior. Those should be all for the better, but the
goal is not to break any existing clients. This does change internal
(albeit externally visible) API, like dropping NM_OBJECT_DBUS_OBJECT_MANAGER
property and NMObject no longer implementing GInitableIface and GAsyncInitableIface.

- Some uses of gdbus-codegen classes remain in NMVpnPluginOld, NMVpnServicePlugin
and NMSecretAgentOld. These are independent of NMClient/NMObject and
should be reworked separately.

- While we no longer use generated classes from gdbus-codegen, we don't
need more glue code than before. Also before we constructed NMPropertiesInfo and
a had large amount of code to propagate properties from NMDBus* to NMObject.
That got completely reworked, but did not fundamentally change. You still need
about the same effort to create the NMLDBusMetaIface. Not using
generated bindings did not make anything worse (which tells about the
usefulness of generated code, at least in the way it was used).

- NMLDBusMetaIface and other meta data is static and immutable. This
avoids copying them around. Also, macros like NML_DBUS_META_PROPERTY_INIT_U()
have compile time checks to ensure the property types matches. It's pretty hard
to misuse them because it won't compile.

- The meta data now explicitly encodes the expected D-Bus types and
makes sure never to accept wrong data. That would only matter when the
server (accidentally or intentionally) exposes unexpected types on
D-Bus. I don't think that was previously ensured in all cases.
For example, demarshal_generic() only cared about the GObject property
type, it didn't know the expected D-Bus type.

- Previously GDBusObjectManager would sometimes emit warnings (g_log()). Those
probably indicated real bugs. In any case, it prevented us from running CI
with G_DEBUG=fatal-warnings, because there would be just too many
unrelated crashes. Now we log debug messages that can be enabled with
"LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG=trace". Some of these messages can also be turned
into g_warning()/g_critical() by setting LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG=warning,error.
Together with G_DEBUG=fatal-warnings, this turns them into assertions.
Note that such "assertion failures" might also happen because of a server
bug (or change). Thus these are not common assertions that indicate a bug
in libnm and are thus not armed unless explicitly requested. In our CI we
should now always run with LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG=warning,error and
G_DEBUG=fatal-warnings and to catch bugs. Note that currently
NetworkManager has bugs in this regard, so enabling this will result in
assertion failures. That should be fixed first.

- Note that this changes the order in which we emit "notify:devices" and
"device-added" signals. I think it makes the most sense to emit first
"device-removed", then "notify:devices", and finally "device-added"
signals.
This changes behavior for commit 52ae28f6e5 ('libnm: queue
added/removed signals and suppress uninitialized notifications'),
but I don't think that users should actually rely on the order. Still,
the new order makes the most sense to me.

- In NetworkManager, profiles can be invisible to the user by setting
"connection.permissions". Such profiles would be hidden by NMClient's
nm_client_get_connections() and their "connection-added"/"connection-removed"
signals.
Note that NMActiveConnection's nm_active_connection_get_connection()
and NMDevice's nm_device_get_available_connections() still exposes such
hidden NMRemoteConnection instances. This behavior was preserved.

NUMBERS

I compared 3 versions of libnm.

  [1] 962297f908, current tip of nm-1-20 branch
  [2] 4fad8c7c64, current master, immediate parent of this patch
  [3] this patch

All tests were done on Fedora 31, x86_64, gcc 9.2.1-1.fc31.
The libraries were build with

  $ ./contrib/fedora/rpm/build_clean.sh -g -w test -W debug

Note that RPM build already stripped the library.

N1) File size of libnm.so.0.1.0 in bytes. There currently seems to be a issue
  on Fedora 31 generating wrong ELF notes. Usually, libnm is smaller but
  in these tests it had large (and bogus) ELF notes. Anyway, the point
  is to show the relative sizes, so it doesn't matter).

N4) Performance. Run NetworkManager from build [2] and setup a large number
of profiles (551 profiles and 515 devices, mostly unrealized). This
setup is already at the edge of what NetworkManager currently can
handle. Of course, that is a different issue. Here we just check how
long plain `nmcli` takes on the system.

```
do_cleanup() {
    for UUID in $(nmcli -g NAME,UUID connection show | sed -n 's/^xx-c-.*:\([^:]\+\)$/\1/p'); do
        nmcli connection delete uuid "$UUID"
    done
    for DEVICE in $(nmcli -g DEVICE device status | grep '^xx-i-'); do
        nmcli device delete "$DEVICE"
    done
}

Thomas Haller e6e6057a13 libnm: add helper functions for refactoring D-Bus calls in libnm
We will drop GDBusProxy and the gdbus-codegen classes. First, we need to
replace all D-Bus calls from nmdbus_*() API with plain uses of GDBusConnection.
For that, add accessors to get the dbus-connection and the name-owner.

This API is not beautiful, it's an interim solution for now.

Thomas Haller c0e075c902 all: drop emacs file variables from source files
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.

Thomas Haller 22ef6a507a build: refine the NETWORKMANAGER_COMPILATION define
Note that:

 - we compile some source files multiple times. Most notably those
   under "shared/".

 - we include a default header "shared/nm-default.h" in every source
   file. This header is supposed to setup a common environment by defining
   and including parts that are commonly used. As we always include the
   same header, the header must behave differently depending
   one whether the compilation is for libnm-core, NetworkManager or
   libnm-glib. E.g. it must include <glib/gi18n.h> or <glib/gi18n-lib.h>
   depending on whether we compile a library or an application.

For that, the source files need the NETWORKMANAGER_COMPILATION #define
to behave accordingly.

Extend the define to be composed of flags. These flags are all named
NM_NETWORKMANAGER_COMPILATION_WITH_*, they indicate which part of the
build are available. E.g. when building libnm-core.la itself, then
WITH_LIBNM_CORE, WITH_LIBNM_CORE_INTERNAL, and WITH_LIBNM_CORE_PRIVATE
are available. When building NetworkManager, WITH_LIBNM_CORE_PRIVATE
is not available but the internal parts are still accessible. When
building nmcli, only WITH_LIBNM_CORE (the public part) is available.
This granularily controls the build.

Thomas Haller c7ccdf5fc8 libnm/udev: cache and reuse udev instance for NMDevice
No need to create a separate NMUdevClient instance for all devices.
Instead, have one "struct udev" instance in NMClient and pass
it down during object construction.

Lubomir Rintel 1f5b48a59e libnm: use the o.fd.DBus.ObjectManager API for object management
This speeds up the initial object tree load significantly. Also, it
reduces the object management complexity by shifting the duties to
GDBusObjectManager.

The lifetime of all NMObjects is now managed by the NMClient via the
object manager. The NMClient creates the NMObjects for GDBus objects,
triggers the initialization and serves as an object registry (replaces
the nm-cache).

The ObjectManager uses the o.fd.DBus.ObjectManager API to learn of the
object creation, removal and property changes. It takes care of the
property changes so that we don't have to and lets us always see a
consistent object state.  Thus at the time we learn of a new object we
already know its properties.

The NMObject unfortunately can't be made synchronously initializable as
the NMRemoteConnection's settings are not managed with standard
o.fd.DBus Properties and ObjectManager APIs and thus are not known to
the ObjectManager.  Thus most of the asynchronous object property
changing code in nm-object.c is preserved. The objects notify the
properties that reference them of their initialization in from their
init_finish() methods, thus the asynchronously created objects are not
allowed to fail creation (or the dependees would wait forever). Not a
problem -- if a connection can't get its Settings, it's either invisible
or being removed (presumably we'd learn of the removal from the object
manager soon).

The NMObjects can't be created by the object manager itself, since we
can't determine the resulting object type in proxy_type() yet (we can't
tell from the name and can't access the interface list). Therefore the
GDBusObject is coupled with a NMObject later on.

Lastly, now that all the objects are managed by the object manager, the
NMRemoteSettings and NMManager go away when the daemon is stopped. The
complexity of dealing with calls to NMClient that would require any of
the resources that these objects manage (connection or device lists,
etc.) had to be moved to NMClient. The bright side is that his allows
for removal all of the daemon presence tracking from NMObject.

Thomas Haller 0bdcab100c all: cleanup includes in header files
- don't include "nm-default.h" in header files. Every source file must
  include as first header "nm-default.h", thus our headers get the
  default include already implicitly.

- we don't support compiling NetworkManager itself with a C++ compiler. Remove
  G_BEGIN_DECLS/G_END_DECLS from internal headers. We do however support
  users of libnm to use C++, thus they stay in public headers.

(cherry picked from commit f19aff8909)

Thomas Haller 19c3ea948a all: make use of new header file "nm-default.h" 2015-08-05 15:32:40 +02:00
Dan Winship 3452ee2a0e all: rename nm-glib-compat.h to nm-glib.h, use everywhere
Rather than randomly including one or more of <glib.h>,
<glib-object.h>, and <gio/gio.h> everywhere (and forgetting to include
"nm-glib-compat.h" most of the time), rename nm-glib-compat.h to
nm-glib.h, include <gio/gio.h> from there, and then change all .c
files in NM to include "nm-glib.h" rather than including the glib
headers directly.

(Public headers files still have to include the real glib headers,
since nm-glib.h isn't installed...)

Also, remove glib includes from header files that are already
including a base object header file (which must itself already include
the glib headers).

Dan Williams 648270d469 libnm: cancel NMRemoteSettings/NMManager property reload when NM quits
If the operation isn't canceled it returns an error, printing this:

/libnm/client-nm-running:
(/home/dcbw/Development/fdo/NetworkManager/libnm/tests/.libs/lt-test-nm-client:17983): libnm-WARNING **: updated_properties: error reading NMRemoteSettings properties: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)
/bin/sh: line 5: 17983 Trace/breakpoint trap   ./libnm-test-launch.sh ${dir}$tst
FAIL: test-nm-client

which screws up testcases because they don't expect this message.
And in this case, since libnm knows that NM is exiting and will
just clear out the properties anyway, it's useless to print the message.

Dan Winship 6793a32a8c libnm: port to GDBus
Port libnm-core/libnm to GDBus.

The NetworkManager daemon continues to use dbus-glib; the
previously-added connection hash/variant conversion methods are now
moved to NetworkManagerUtils (along with a few other utilities that
are now only needed by the daemon code).

Dan Winship b3c4917b0f libnm: move most of the subclass-type-deciding code into NMObject
NMObject has a system that lets devices and active connections get
created as the correct subtypes (NMDeviceFoo / NMActiveConnection vs
NMVpnConnection). But it was much more generic than it needed to be,
because NMDevice and NMActiveConnection both did the same thing (fetch
a D-Bus property and then look at its value). So move the
property-fetching part into NMObject, and only use the callback for
converting the property value to a GType.

Dan Winship b728d1fb70 libnm: let NMObject create all D-Bus proxies
Add _nm_object_class_add_interface(), for declaring that a class
implements a particular interface, and then have NMObject create the
corresponding proxies itself. (The subclass can get a copy with
_nm_object_get_proxy() if it needs it for something).

(In GDBus, creating a proxy is a heavier operation than in dbus-glib,
so we'll need to create the proxies asynchronously. Moving the
creation to NMObject makes that easier since we can do it as part
of the existing init/init_async.)

Dan Winship b732380d1e libnm: drop NMObject:dbus-connection
The only plausible use case for the NMObject:dbus-connection property
is for using the session bus in test programs. So just drop it and use
an environment variable to decide which bus to use instead.

Dan Winship 3e5b3833aa libnm: change empty-GPtrArray-return semantics
libnm functions that return GPtrArrays of objects had a rule that if
the array was empty, they would return NULL rather than a 0-length
array. As it turns out, this is just a nuisance to clients, since in
most places the code for the non-empty case would end up doing the
right thing for the empty case as well (and where it doesn't, we can
check "array->len == 0" just as easily as "array == NULL"). So just
return the 0-length array instead.

Dan Winship c81fb49aa5 all: fix up multiple-include-guard defines
Previously, src/nm-ip4-config.h, libnm/nm-ip4-config.h, and
libnm-glib/nm-ip4-config.h all used "NM_IP4_CONFIG_H" as an include
guard, which meant that nm-test-utils.h could not tell which of them
was being included (and so, eg, if you tried to include
nm-ip4-config.h in a libnm test, it would fail to compile because
nm-test-utils.h was referring to symbols in src/nm-ip4-config.h).

Fix this by changing the include guards in the non-API-stable parts of
the tree:

  - libnm-glib/nm-ip4-config.h remains   NM_IP4_CONFIG_H
  - libnm/nm-ip4-config.h now uses     __NM_IP4_CONFIG_H__
  - src/nm-ip4-config.h now uses       __NETWORKMANAGER_IP4_CONFIG_H__

And likewise for all other headers.

The two non-"nm"-prefixed headers, libnm/NetworkManager.h and
src/NetworkManagerUtils.h are now __NETWORKMANAGER_H__ and
__NETWORKMANAGER_UTILS_H__ respectively, which, while not entirely
consistent with the general scheme, do still mostly make sense in
isolation.

Dan Winship c4a86eba52 libnm: remove redundant NM name watching code
NMClient was watching to see whether NetworkManager was running, but
its parent class NMObject was already doing that anyway, so NMClient
doesn't need to do it itself.

This also requires making NMClient:init_async() wait for NMObject's
init_async() code to finish before calling GetPermissions, rather than
running the two in parallel like before (since we don't know if NM is
running or not until after NMObject's init_async() returns). This is
probably more correct anyway in terms of inheritance, and it's not as
much slower than the original code as it sounds, since previously
we were calling NameHasOwner twice (in serial) anyway.

Dan Winship 258e74eb0c libnm: make the the use of GInitable mandatory
Remove _nm_object_ensure_inited(), etc; objects that implement
GInitable are now mandatory-to-init().

Remove constructor() implementations that sometimes return NULL; do
all the relevant checking in init() instead.

Make nm_client_new() and nm_remote_settings_new() take a GCancellable
and a GError**.

Dan Winship d595f7843e libnm: add libnm/libnm-core (part 1)
This commit begins creating the new "libnm", which will replace
libnm-util and libnm-glib.

The main reason for the libnm-util/libnm-glib split is that the daemon
needs to link to libnm-util (to get NMSettings, NMConnection, etc),
but can't link to libnm-glib (because it uses many of the same type
names as the NetworkManager daemon. eg, NMDevice). So the daemon links
to only libnm-util, but basically all clients link to both.

With libnm, there will be only a single client-visible library, and
NetworkManager will internally link against a private "libnm-core"
containing the parts that used to be in libnm-util.

(The "libnm-core" parts still need to be in their own directory so
that the daemon can see those header files without also seeing the
ones in libnm/ that conflict with its own headers.)

[This commit just copies the source code from libnm-util/ to
libnm-core/, and libnm-glib/ to libnm/:

  mkdir -p libnm-core/tests/
  mkdir -p libnm/tests/
  cp libnm-util/*.[ch] libnm-util/nm-version.h.in libnm-core/
  rm -f libnm-core/nm-version.h libnm-core/nm-setting-template.[ch] libnm-core/nm-utils-enum-types.[ch]
  cp libnm-util/tests/*.[ch] libnm-core/tests/
  cp libnm-glib/*.[ch] libnm/
  rm -f libnm/libnm_glib.[ch] libnm/libnm-glib-test.c libnm/nm-glib-enum-types.[ch]
  cp libnm-glib/tests/*.[ch] libnm/tests/
