Allows to use this function in GObject introspected languages.
Also workaround a current issue with the gtk-doc parser not taking nested
element-type into account.
Request the extack_msg for nm_platform_ip_route_add() call. Note that we (currently)
don't do anything with it, however requesting it has no downsides. That is, the
message already is heap allocated in the lower layers, so this only affects whether
it will be returned up to nm_platform_ip_route_sync().
It is not clear how that information is relevant. Since it is also
only logged when building with a non-default configure option, this
doesn't seem useful. Drop it.
- unindent the code by "continue" the loop for the irrelevant case.
- fix indentation of comments.
- avoid unnecessary g_strdup() call if the extack message is NULL.
Consistently name those variables and parameters "extack_msg".
The previous term "errmsg"/"msg" was not used consistently, and it
is also not clear what message this really is. For netlink, it
is well understood what Extended ACK means.
strlcpy()/g_strlcpy() has a well understood behavior. nla_strlcpy()
did not behave like that. Instead, it also used to always wipe the
remainder of the string, similar to what strncpy() would do.
True, if we do
nla_strlcpy(obj->link.name, tb[IFLA_IFNAME], IFNAMSIZ);
then we might want to clear the remainder and don't care about the
overhead of writing up to 14 bytes unnecessarily... However, actually
all callers of nla_strlcpy() either operate on a buffer that is already
pre-inialized with zero, or they really don't care about the
uninitialized memory after the string. So this was nowhere the desired
behavior.
Change nla_strlcpy() to not wipe the remainder of the buffer, so it behaves
mostly like strlcpy()/g_strlcpy() and as one would expect.
Add nla_strlcpy_wipe(), which on top of it also clears the remaining
buffer. In that aspect, it bears some similarities with strncpy(), but it
differs in other regards from strncpy (always NUL terminating and
returning the srclen). Yes, the name nla_strlcpy_wipe() is maybe
unfamiliar to the user, but it really is like nla_strlcpy() with the
addition to clear the buffer. That seems simple enough to understand
based on the name.
Note that all existing callers of nla_strlcpy() do not care about
clearing the memory, and the change in behavior is fine for them.
We just lookup the link info by ifindex. There is no guarantee that that
ifindex is of the expected type, to have a suitable ext-data. Check for
that.

Autoconnect retries are not being tracked by connection anymore. Now it
is tracked per Device x Connection. In addition, autoconnect might be
blocked for the connection due to no secrets or user requested.
All the properties tracking the retries and blocked time were move to
DevConData and the functions to manipulate them aswell. In NMPolicy the
logic didn't change very much. Instead of looking into the connection
when the device failed activation it looks for DevConData.
This affects the order in which properties are listed in `nmcli
connection show`. The replace-local-rule property should be after the
routing-rule property.
The symbol "nm_active_connection_get_controller" was backported to
1.42.1+. Since 1.44 is not yet released, move the symbol from
libnm_1_44 to libnm_1_42_2, like it is on 1.42.2 release. That way, we
don't need to duplicate the symbol while 1.44 being forward compatible
with 1.42.2.
NM 1.44 is not released yet and 1.42.2 will happen before 1.44.0, so we
can introduce the new API with version libnm_1_42_2 in both releases
without having duplicate symbols on 1.44.
This setting allows the user to remove the local route rule that is
autogenerated for both IPv4 and IPv6. By default, NetworkManager won't
touch the local route rule.
A tentative IPv6 address can still fail DAD, so don't use it to
resolve the hostname via DNS. Furthermore, tentative addresses can't
be used to contact the nameserver and so the resolution will fail if
there is no other valid IPv6 address. Wait that the address becomes
non-tentative.
Currently the only way to return an error code from the daemon helper
is via the process exit code, but that is not enough to fully describe
an error from getaddrinfo(); in fact, the function returns a EAI_*
error code and when the value is EAI_SYSTEM, the error code is
returned in errno.
At the moment, any messages printed to stderr by the helper goes to NM
stderr; instead, we want to capture it and pass it through the logging
mechanism of NM, so that it can be filtered according to level and
domain.
Improve logging:
- log only when something changes
- print the new resolver state, instead of the old one
- rename state "in-progress" to "started"
- log when the resolver state is reset due to DNS changes
We already get the IAID from the dhclient environment. This is actually
rather useful, because dhclient plugin does not support setting the
value (that is, what we request in "config.v6.iaid" is not actually
used). Already previously, was the IAID for dhclient present in the
lease information. Now also normalize/verify it.
Expose the used IAID also with the internal (systemd) plugin. There we
explicitly set the IAID and know it.
Our lease is tracked in a plain string dictionary. For dhclient plugin
and similar, the keys are received via the environment, they are thus
unlimited. For the internal plugins they are known at compile time and
static strings. We thus sometimes need to clone the string, and
sometimes not.
Unfortunately, we cannot ask the GHashTable whether it has a free
function for the key, so we need to explicitly tell it. Add a parameter
for that.
dhclient exports the currently used IAID in the environment as
hex string. We expose this environment in our API, so this is also
the format that NetworkManager uses.
Accept setting the ipv[46].dhcp-iaid as hex string, so that the same
format is accepted on the profile.
While at it, also accept a hex number (0x) because it is also
convenient, and this change already introduces the precedent that the
IAID string is not unique/normalized.
There should be one function for parsing the string. Use it everywhere.
Also, because we will accept specifying the IAID as hex string so the
same parsing code should be used everywhere.
When a software device is deactivated, normally we schedule a idle
task to unrealize the device (delete_on_deactivate). However, if a new
activation is enqueued on the same device (and that implies that the
new profile is compatible with the device), then the idle task is not
scheduled and the device will normally transition to the different
states (disconnected, prepare, config, etc.).
For ovs-interfaces, we remove the db entry on disconnect and that
makes the link go away; however, we don't clear the hw_addr* fields of
the device struct.
When the new link appears, we try to set the new cloned MAC but the
stale hw_addr field indicates that it's already set. Avoid this
problem by updating the address as soon as the link appears.

The configure flag and APN for the initial EPS bearer are used when
bringing up cellular modem connections. These settings are only relevant
for LTE modems.
