Supplicant does not allow setting certain properties to empty values.
It also does not make sense.
Also, ifcfg-rh writer uses svSetValueStr() for these properties, so
the ifcfg plugin would always loose having hte values set to "".
Also, you couldn't enter these strings in nmcli.
It's fair to assume that it makes no sense to have these values set to
an empty value. Since we cannot just tighten up verification to reject
them, normalize them.
It also seems that some GUI now starts setting domain_suffix_match to an
empty string. Or maybe it was always doing it, and ifcfg plugin just hid
the problem? Anyway, we have users out there who set these properties to
"".

"find-backports" script parses the commit messages to figure out which
patches to backport. We use "refs/notes/bugs" notes to extend the
meta data after the commit was merged. If you don't setup the
notes, the output is likely incomplete or wrong.
Yes, this is annoying. It requires you to setup the notes as described
in "CONTRIBUTING.md". Also because the "release.sh" script runs "find-backports",
so that means you cannot do releases without setting up the notes
(unless you manually disable running "find-backports"). But you really shouldn't
make a release based on incomplete information.
Currently NetworkManager fails to establish a NAP bridge because it never gets
out of the stage2.
This is caused because when making the BlueZ callback reentrant we return
NM_ACT_STAGE_RETURN_POSTPONE even after registration has succeeded.
This patch changes registration to a three state automaton instead of a
boolean. This allows distinguishing when we are waiting for registration
to finish and when it is done and therefore ensures that when the stage2
is called again by the callback the result is success so NetworkManager
can proceed to the IP configuration.

When the ovs-bridge datapath is netdev, OpenvSwitch will not create a
ovs-interface but a tun interface. The ovs-interface device must check
all the link-change signals and check if the link type is tun and the
interface name is the same than the device name. If so, the
ovs-interface device will get the ifindex of the tun device. This allow
NetworkManager to manage the interface properly, modifying MTU,
configuring IPv4/IPv6 and others.
Example:
```
55: ovsbridge-port0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether fa:fb:07:98:e0:c6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.123.100/24 brd 192.168.123.255 scope global noprefixroute ovsbridge-port0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::9805:55c4:4c5f:da1c/64 scope link noprefixroute

"Ignore-Backport:" is already in use. For the find-backports script it
has the same meaning as a "cherry picked from" line, that means, we
assume that the referenced patch was backported already and the fix
applied.
This is of course useful to make the script shut up about backports that
we don't want to do. However, it requires us to tag the old branch
with this, so that the script thinks that the patch is already there.
Imaging we have a wrong commit on "next" branch with a Fixes line. We
don't want to backport it, so we would have to tag the "old" branch with
"Ignore-Backport:". That is cumbersome.
Instead, now also support that if a commit contains a "Fixes:" line any
an "Ignore-Fixes:" for the same fixed commit, then this let's the
"Fixes:" line be ignored.
For regular operation -- even for `level=TRACE` -- it's just too verbose.
Only enable it if the environment "NM_LOG_CONCHECK=1" is set.
An environment variable is a bit unwieldy to use, but this
is really just for a heavy libcurl debugging session.
We have some reports of APs that advertise WPA2/WPA3 with
MFP-required=0/MFP-capable=0, and reject the association when the
client doesn't support 802.11w.
According to WPA3_Specification_v3.0 section 2.3, when operating in
WPA3-Personal transition mode a STA:
- should allow AKM suite selector: 00-0F-AC:6 (WPA-PSK-SHA256) to be
selected for an association;
- shall negotiate PMF when associating to an AP using SAE.
The first is guaranteed by capability PMF; the second by checking that
the interface supports BIP ciphers suitable for PMF.

Move initialization of NMSettingBridge from NMPlatformLnkBridge to separate
function.
This is needed because this initialization will be used in more than one
function.
We store the timestamp when a profile activated the last time to
"/var/lib/NetworkManager/timestamps". There was also a timer which
would update the timestamp of activated connections every 300 seconds.
That seems unnecessary, drop it.
For one, waking up every 5 minutes and rewriting a file to disk seems
undesirable, for example if /var is a device where unnecessary writes
should be minimized.
Note that we already update the timestamp when a device goes down,
and of course when it comes up. Updating the timestamp in between seems
unnecessary.
This reverts commit 607350294d ('core: update timestamp in active
system connections every 5 mins (bgo #583756)').
An alternative would be to only update the timestamp in memory (so that
it would appear updated on D-Bus), but delay writing the file until
something important happens. `nm_key_file_db_*()` already tracks whether
there are changes ("dirty") and whether it's necessary to write the
file. It would be possible to track two dirty flags: one that requires
immediate update, and one that only ensures we will re-write dirty files
eventually.

Previously, autotools would detect whether we have "black"
in the path. And if so, it would check formatting during `make check`.
That's problematic. When I run `./contrib/fedora/rpm/build_clean.sh -w test`
in certain cases, it would pick up black, but then fail with
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/black", line 5, in <module>
from black import patched_main
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/black.py", line 42, in <module>
from attr import dataclass, evolve, Factory
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'attr'
make[3]: *** [Makefile:21658: check-python-black] Error 1
That's an installation error of black, but still, during package build
there is no need to check the formatting. We could export
`NMTST_SKIP_PYTHON_BLACK=1` to prevent it, but it's still unnecessary.
We check proper formatting in gitlab-ci. That is enough, it doesn't
need to run during `make check`. In particular, because `black .`
takes 1.5 seconds on my machine.
This is more for completeness, to go along "nm-code-format.sh"
script.
Usually it's very simple to run black directly (you may still do that).
However, black by default only reformats files with ".py" extension.
So to get all our python files, you'd need to know and explicitly
select them... or use this script.
Also, `black .` scans the entire source tree, and is rather slow.
This script knows which files to select and is thus faster.
During the test, we `tee` the output to a log file in "/tmp".
We do that, because the test script cleans the working directory
several times, so the file cannot reside there.
Afterwards, we need to move the file back into the git-tree, so that
gitlab can archive it.
Previously that was done by "after_script", but the "after_script" may not
see the same "/tmp" as the test run ([1]). This needs to be done as part of the
"script" step.

Our convention is that a function that fails MUST set the GError output.
No need to check for that in nm_crypto_is_pkcs12_data(). Simplify the
error paths.
Also, in gnutls' _nm_crypto_verify_pkcs12(), don't call gnutls_pkcs12_deinit()
before gnutls_strerror(). It's unclear whether that couldn't set a
different error reason.
It has no actual dependency on the crypto library. All it does, is
to be careful about not leaking secrets in memory. We have code
for that in libnm-glib-aux already. Move.
The goal is to reduce the number of places where we use libnm-crypto,
because that has a large dependency. libnm-glib-aux is a very light
dependency instead.
libnm-core is also used by the daemon, thus currently dragging in
libnm-crypto there. But could we ever drop that dependency?
One use of the libnm-crypto is in functions like nm_utils_file_is_certificate()
in "nm-utils.h". These are part of the public API of libnm.
But this is not used by the daemon. Move it to "libnm-client-core"
to be closer to where it's actually used.
As we have unit tests in "libnm-core-impl/tests" that test this function,
those unit tests also would need to move to "libnm-client-impl".
Instead, add the actual implementation of these function to "libnm-crypto"
and test it there.
This patch moves forward declarations from public header "nm-utils.h" to
"nm-client.h". Arguably, "nm-client.h" is not a great name, but we don't
have a general purpose header in "libnm-client-public", so use this.
Note that libnm users can only include <NetworkManager.h> and including
individual files is not supported (and even prevented). Thus moving
the declarations won't break any users.
libnm-core currently has a dependency on crypto libraries (either
"gnutls", "nss" or "null"). We need this huge dependency for few cases.
Move the crypto code to a separate static library"src/libnm-crypto/libnm-crypto.la".
The reasoning is that it becomes clearer where we have this dependency,
to use it more consciously, and to be better see how it's used.
We clearly need the crypto functionality in libnm. But do we also need
it in the daemon? Could we ever link the daemon without crypto libraries?
The goal of splitting the crypto part out, to better understand the
crypto dependency.
"nm-error.h" is public API of libnm, and contains error numbers and
quarks. Clearly our "nm-crypto" implementation wants to use those
errors.
I want to move "nm-crypto" out of libnm, and as it's more basic, I think
it should not have a dependency on all of libnm-core. Also because
libnm-core currently uses nm-crypto, so there would be a circular
dependency. Which would be possible to do (libnm-core-aux-intern is
also used in such a way). But it's better avoided, to have clear
hierarchy of dependencies.
Add a version of the same error codes to libnm-base. libnm-base is a
very basic dependency (just one step above libnm-glib-aux).
nm_utils_bin2hexstr() is part of public libnm API.
That means, if we want to use this function, we need to link with
libnm-core-impl.
This is used by "nm-crypto.c". That file is currently part of
libnm-core, but that will change.
Move the implementation to libnm-glib-aux, so that we can use this code
from all our glib-based code (because all our glib-based code is allowed
to link with libnm-glib-aux).
