If configure is called without --enable-json-validation or
--disable-json-validation, let's automatically choose a value
depending on the availability of the library.
The out-reason is only set to NM_DEVICE_STATE_REASON_CONFIG_FAILED.
And there is only one caller who cares about the reason.
If we one day decide to return a more distinguished error reasons,
we can revert this patch. Until then, drop the code.
This argument is only relevant when the NMActStageReturn argument
indicates NM_ACT_STAGE_RETURN_FAILURE. In all other cases it is ignored.
Rename the argument to make the meaning clearer. The argument is passed
through several layers of code, it isn't obvious that this argument only
matters for the failure case. Also, the distinct name makes it easier
to distinguish from other uses of the "reason" name.
While at it, do some drive-by cleanup:
- use g_return_*() instead of g_assert() to have a more graceful
assertion.
- functions like dhcp4_start() don't need to return a failure reason.
Most callers don't care, and the caller who does can determine the
proper reason.
- allow omitting the out-argument via NM_SET_OUT().
Add support for creating dummy devices. This commit adds a D-Bus
interface 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device.Dummy' which is used
primarily for determining the device type but does not carry any
properties.
Since we generate "libnm-core/nm-core-enum-types.h" via GLIB_GENERAED,
there is no obvious place to $(MKDIR_P). Add a dependency to the
.dirstamp of the directory to instruct automake to create the directory.
Add svGetValue_cp() and svGetValueStr() for completeness.
Currently, we mostly use svGetValueStr_cp(), which I think is wrong
because for most cases we should instead not ignore empty values -- that
is, svGetValue_cp() would be a better choice.
Also, I think that the non *_cp() API should be preferred in many cases
because it avoids cloning the value in many cases. The API is not
necessarily less favorable either:
gs_free char *value = NULL;
value = svGetValue_cp (s, key);
if (value)
...
vs.
gs_free char *value_to_free = NULL;
const char *value;
value = svGetValue (s, key, &value_to_free);
if (value)
...
Add the two missing variants, so that future code can use what fits
best, not following undesired practices because seemingly there is
no alternative.
We have
- svGetValue()
- returns the original string
- avoids copying the string unless necessary
- svGetValueStr_cp() (formerly svGetValueString())
- returns the original string, unless it is empty ""
- always clones the string
I think the behavior svGetValueStr*() of coercing "" to NULL is wrongly
used in most places. We should better handle "" like any other value,
not treat it as unset.
That would require another function svGetValue_cp(), which is like svGetValue()
but always copies the string. Rename svGetValueString() so that there is a place
for names like
- svGetValue_cp()
- svGetValueStr()
Also rename svSetValueString() to svSetValueStr().
Ifcfg reader now properly handles escaping and quoting. We don't
need to stip whitespace, if somebody explicitly configures
prop=" value"
it is a configuration error.
NMDeviceEthernet and NMDeviceMacsec implement their own retry policy
for connection using 802.1X, and consider the credentials wrong when
the authentication fails for 3 times. In such case, they also disable
autoconnection for the device by setting the state reason NO_SECRETS.
This means that it's not possible at the moment to choose how many
times the authentication will be retried since they don't use the
standard reconnection logic.
Change NMDeviceEthernet and NMDeviceMacsec to use the number of
retries from connection.autoconnect-retries instead of a hardcoded
value to decide how many times the authentication must be restarted.
Use the per-connection authentication timeout for 802.1X Ethernet,
MACsec and Wi-Fi connections. In case the value is not defined, fall
back to the global one.
The property can be used to tune the authentication timeout. It's
especially useful to speed up the failure in case the port doesn't
support 802.1X and make NM try a different, non-authenticated
connection.
This makes it more likely that the user will end up with a master
connection that has connection.interface-name property. This makes it
possible for ifcfg plugin to specify the master in the for of device
name (as opposed to UUID) for compatibility with the legacy network
tooling.
This is equivalent to what nmcli does.

The wpa_supplicant API supports to enable/disable each TLS version
individually, or leave it at the default. Currently, the default
means to enable a TLS version, thus, the only meaningful option
for the momemnt means to explicitly disable it.
In the future, supplicant may disable options by default, and
the inverse option can become interesting to configure
"tls_disable_tlsv1_0=0". When that happens, we can solve it by
adding another flag NM_SETTING_802_1X_AUTH_FLAGS_TLS_1_0_ENABLE.
Change the previous behavior of the NMSetting8021xAuthFlags.
Previously, when not specifying TLS_DISABLE_DEFAULT, all
options were unspecified. On the other hand, when specifying
a single TLS disable flag, all versions were explicitly enabled
or disabled.
Instead, change the meaning of the disable flags. When present,
it explicitly disables an option. But it does not explicitly enable
it.
Some AAA servers have issues interoperating with select TLS versions,
which wpa_supplicant negotiates by default.
This commit allows disabling troubling versions of TLS so that
connecting to broken authentication servers could be possible.
- for nm_utils_enum_to_str(), whenever encounter a numeric value
that has no expression as enum/flag, encode the value numerically.
For enums, encode it as decimal. For flags, encode it as hexadecimal
(with 0x prefix).
Also check that an existing value_nick cannot be wrongly interpreted
as a integer, and if they would, encode them instead as integers only.
- Likewise, in nm_utils_enum_from_str() accept numerical values
and for nm_utils_enum_get_values() return enum nicks that look
like numeric values in their numeric form only.
- In nm_utils_enum_from_str(), don't use g_strsplit(), but clone the
string only once and manipulate it inplace.
- Accept '\n' and '\r' as additional delimiters for flags.
- For consistency, also return an err_token for enum types. If the caller
doesn't care about that, he should simply not pass the out-argument.
Unfortunately nm_utils_enum_to_str() doesn't allow to specify the
separator between enum values. Since the function is public API and
can't be modified now, add a new internal function which accepts the
separator as argument.
