NMConnection
NMConnection is an interface, which is both implemented by
NMSimpleConnection (libnm-core), NMSettingsConnection (src) and
NMRemoteConnection (libnm).
NMSettingsConnection does a lot of things
1) it is an NMDBusObject and exports the API of a connection profile
on D-Bus
2) it interacts with NMSettings and contains functionality
for tracking the profiles.
3) it is the base-class of types like NMSKeyfileConnection and
NMIfcfgConnection. These determine how to persist the profile
on disk.
4) it implements NMConnection interface, to itself track the
settings of the profile.
3) and 4) would be better implemented via delegation than inheritance.
Don't let NMSettingsConnection implemente the NMConnection interface.
Instead, it references now a NMSimpleConnection instance, to which it
delegates for keeping the actual profiles.
Advantages:
- by delegating, there is a clearer separation of what
NMSettingsConnection does. For example, in C we often required
casts from NMSettingsConnection to NMConnection. NMConnection
is a very trivial object with very little logic. When we have
a NMConnection instance at hand, it's good to know that it is
*only* that simple.
- NMConnection is implemented as an interface and we create
NMSimpleConnection instances whenever we need a real instance.
In GLib, interfaces have a performance overhead, that we needlessly
pay all the time. With this change, we could compile a version of
libnm-core for the daemon, where NMConnection is not an interface but
a GObject implementation akin to NMSimpleConnection.
- In the previous implementation, we cannot do copy-on-write.
For example, when NMDevice needs a snapshot of the activated
profile as applied-connection, all it can do is clone the
NMSettingsConnection as a NMSimpleConnection.
Likewise, when we get a NMConnection instance and want to keep
a reference to it, we cannot do that, because we never know
who also references and modifies the instance.
By separating NMSettingsConnection we could have NMConnection
immutable and copy-on-write, to avoid all unnecessary clones.

Add a helper function nm_device_parent_find_for_connection() to
unify implementations of setting the parent in update_connection().
There is some change in behavior, in particular for nm-device-vlan.c,
which no longer compares the link information from platform. But
update_connection() is anyway a very questionable concept, only used
for external device (which itself, is questionable). Meaning,
update_connection() is a hack not science, and it's not at all clear
what the correct behavior is.
Also, note how vlan's implementation differs from all others. Why?
Should we always resort to also check the information from platform?
Either way, one of the two approaches should be used consistently.

- have two variants of functions to set the SSID of an access point:
one that passes SSID as GBytes, and one that passes it as plain
data with length. Accepting a GBytes allows to share the immutable
GBytes instance.
- both functions now also support clearing the SSID. In
nm_wifi_ap_update_from_properties(), if the GVariant specifies
a "SSID", we always update the access point. We already support
chaging the SSID, so why not support changing it to *no* SSID
(hidden).

GBytes makes more sense, because it's immutable.
Also, since at other places we use GBytes, having
different types is combersome and requires needless
conversions.
Also:
- avoid nm_utils_escape_ssid() instead of _nm_utils_ssid_to_string().
We use nm_utils_escape_ssid() when we want to log the SSID. However, it
does not escape newlines, which is bad.
- also no longer use nm_utils_same_ssid(). Since it no longer
treated trailing NUL special, it is not different from
g_bytes_equal().
- also, don't use nm_utils_ssid_to_utf8() for logging anymore.
For logging, _nm_utils_ssid_escape_utf8safe() is better because
it is loss-less escaping which can be unambigously reverted.

nm_utils_same_ssid() has a comment
* Earlier versions of the Linux kernel added a NULL byte to the end of the
* SSID to enable easy printing of the SSID on the console or in a terminal,
* but this behavior was problematic (SSIDs are simply byte arrays, not strings)
* and thus was changed. This function compensates for that behavior at the
* cost of some compatibility with odd SSIDs that may legitimately have trailing
* NULLs, even though that is functionally pointless.
and the functionality was introduced by commit
ccb13f0bdd0c8ac3ee85dd0a6064c9bc545585f1.
There was only place left that calls nm_utils_same_ssid().
I really don't think this is the right approach, nor is it clear
that this is still necessary. Also, it seems to only matter with
WEXT, and we should not have such an ugly hack in all cases.

We already have nm_utils_str_utf8safe_escape() to convert a
NUL termianted string to an UTF-8 string. nm_utils_str_utf8safe_escape()
operates under the assumption, that the input strig is already valid UTF-8
and returns the input string verbatim. That way, in the common expected
cases, the string just looks like a regular UTF-8 string.
However, in case there are invalid UTF-8 sequences (or a backslash
escape characters), the function will use backslash escaping to encode
the input string as a valid UTF-8 sequence. Note that the escaped
sequence, can be reverted to the original non-UTF-8 string via
unescape.
An example, where this is useful are file names or interface names.
Which are not in a defined encoding, but NUL terminated and commonly ASCII or
UTF-8 encoded.
Extend this, to also handle not NUL terminated buffers. The same
applies, except that the process cannot be reverted via g_strcompress()
-- because the NUL character cannot be unescaped.
This will be useful to escape a Wi-Fi SSID. Commonly we expect the SSID
to be in UTF-8/ASCII encoding and we want to print it verbatim. Only
if that is not the case, we fallback to backslash escaping. However, the
orginal value can be fully recovered via unescape(). The difference
between an SSID and a filename is, that the former can contain '\0'
bytes.

Use GBytes instead of GBytesArray. GBytes is immutable and
can be shared.
It is also the type that we natively get from
nm_setting_wireless_get_ssid(). This way we avoid some
conversions.

As of upstream kernel v4.18-rc8.
Note that we name the features like they are called in ethtool's
ioctl API ETH_SS_FEATURES.
Except, for features like "tx-gro", which ethtool utility aliases
as "gro". So, for those features where ethtool has a built-in,
alternative name, we prefer the alias.
And again, note that a few aliases of ethtool utility ("sg", "tso", "tx")
actually affect more than one underlying kernel feature.
Note that 3 kernel features which are announced via ETH_SS_FEATURES are
explicitly exluded because kernel marks them as "never_changed":
#define NETIF_F_NEVER_CHANGE (NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED | \
NETIF_F_LLTX | NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL)

We will add a large number of offload features. That means, the output
of `nmcli connection show "$PROFILE"` would be very verbose, in case
the profile has a [ethtool] option.
Since this is newly added API, don't do that. Don't show ethtool properties
that are left unset.
A minor problem here is, that it becomes no longer obvious which
properties exist. We should however counter that by documentation.
Also, one could do:
$ nmcli connection modify "$PROFILE" ethtool.xxx x
Error: invalid property 'xxx': 'xxx' not among [feature-gro, feature-gso, feature-lro, feature-ntuple, feature-rx, feature-rxhash, feature-rxvlan, feature-sg, feature-tso, feature-tx, feature-txvlan, feature-tx-tcp6-segmentation, feature-tx-tcp-segmentation].
Likewise, bash completion still works as one would expect.
$ nmcli --complete-args connection modify "$PROFILE" ethtool.
ethtool.feature-gro
ethtool.feature-gso
ethtool.feature-lro
[...]
Note the output of
$ nmcli -f ethtool.feature-gro connection show "$PROFILE"
gives now nothing (if there is an ethtool section, but not this
particular feature). Maybe this shouldn't be like that. On the other
hand, specifying a connection setting that doesn't exist also gives
no output:
$ nmcli -f bond connection show "$PROFILE"
So, maybe this behavior is fine.

Historically, nmcli printed all fields during operations like
`nmcli connection show "$PROFILE"`. As we supported more and
more options, this resulted in a verbose output, of most properties
just being the default values.
To counter that, we added the '-overview' option. When given,
it would hide options that are set at their default. This option
was not the default, to preserve established behavior.
However, for new options, we can afford to hide them. Add a mechanism,
that property getters can mark their value to be hidden. At the moment,
there is no way to show these properties. However, we could add a
'-verbose' option, with the opposite meaning of '-overview'. Anyway,
that does not seem necessary at the moment.
Hiding properties from output is only acceptable for new properties
(otherwise we badly change behavior), and if the properties are set
at their default values (otherwise, we hide important information).

Also, add two more features "tx-tcp-segmentation" and
"tx-tcp6-segmentation". There are two reasons for that:
- systemd-networkd supports setting these two features,
so lets support them too (apparently they are important
enough for networkd).
- these two features are already implicitly covered by "tso".
Like for the "ethtool" program, "tso" is an alias for several
actual features. By adding two features that are already
also covered by an alias (which sets multiple kernel names
at once), we showcase how aliases for the same feature can
coexist. In particular, note how setting
"tso on tx-tcp6-segmentation off" will behave as one would
expect: all 4 tso features covered by the alias are enabled,
except that particular one.

There is little difference in practice because there is only one caller.
Still re-use the SocketHandle also for mii. If only, to make it clear
that SocketHandle is not only suitable for ethtool, but also mii.

Previously, each call to ethtool_get() would resolve the ifindex and
create a new socket for the ethtool request.
This is partly done, because ethtool only supports making requests by
name. Since interfaces can be renamed, this is inherrently racy. So,
we want to fetch the latest name shortly before making the request.
Some functions like nmp_utils_ethtool_supports_vlans() require multiple
ioctls. And next, we will introduce more ethtool functions, that make an
even larger number of individual requests.
Add a simple SocketHandle struct, to create the socket once and reuse
it for multiple requests. This is still entirely internal API in
"nm-platform-utils.c".

ethtool_get_stringset() will be used later, independently.
Also, don't trust and ensure that the block of strings
returned by ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS are NUL terminated.

Note that in NetworkManager API (D-Bus, libnm, and nmcli),
the features are called "feature-xyz". The "feature-" prefix
is used, because NMSettingEthtool possibly will gain support
for options that are not only -K|--offload|--features, for
example -C|--coalesce.
The "xzy" suffix is either how ethtool utility calls the feature
("tso", "rx"). Or, if ethtool utility specifies no alias for that
feature, it's the name from kernel's ETH_SS_FEATURES ("tx-tcp6-segmentation").
If possible, we prefer ethtool utility's naming.
Also note, how the features "feature-sg", "feature-tso", and
"feature-tx" actually refer to multiple underlying kernel features
at once. This too follows what ethtool utility does.
The functionality is not yet implemented server-side.

Add a new way how NMSetting subclasses can be implemented.
Currently, most NMSetting implementations realize all their properties
via GObject properties. That has some downsides:
- the biggest one, is the large effort to add new properties.
Most of them are implemented on a one-by-one basis and they come
with additional API (like native getter functions).
It makes it cumbersome to add more properties.
- for certain properties, it's hard to encode them entirely in
a GObject property. That results in unusable API like
NM_SETTING_IP_CONFIG_ADDRESSES, NM_SETTING_BOND_OPTIONS,
NM_SETTING_USER_DATA. These complex valued properties only
exist, because we currently always need GObject properties
to even implement simple functionality. For example,
nm_setting_duplicate() is entirely implemented via
nm_setting_enumerate_values(), which can only iterate
GObject properies. There is no reason why this is necessary.
Note also how nmcli badly handles bond options and VPN
data. That is only a shortcoming of nmcli and wouldn't
need to be that way. But it happend, because we didn't
keep an open mind that settings might be more than just
accessing GObject properties.
- a major point of NMSetting is to convert to/from a GVariant
from the D-Bus API. As NMSetting needs to squeeze all values
into the static GObject structure, there is no place to
encode invalid or unknown properties. Optimally,
_nm_setting_new_from_dbus() does not loose any information
and a subsequent _nm_setting_to_dbus() can restore the original
variant. That is interesting, because we want that an older
libnm client can talk to a newer NetworkManager version. The
client needs to handle unknown properties gracefully to stay
forward compatible. However, it also should not just drop the
properties on the floor.
Note however, optimally we want that nm_setting_verify() still
can reject settings that have such unknown/invalid values. So,
it should be possible to create an NMSetting instance without
error or loosing information. But verify() should be usable to
identify such settings as invalid.
They also have a few upsides.
- libnm is heavily oriented around GObject. So, we generate
our nm-settings manual based on the gtk-doc. Note however,
how we fail to generate a useful manual for bond.options.
Also note, that there is no reason we couldn't generate
great documentation, even if the properties are not GObject
properties.
- GObject properties do give some functionality like meta-data,
data binding and notification. However, the meta-data is not
sufficient on its own. Note how keyfile and nmcli need extensive
descriptor tables on top of GObject properties, to make this
useful. Note how GObject notifications for NMSetting instances
are usually not useful, aside for data binding like nmtui does.
Also note how NMSettingBond already follows a different paradigm
than using GObject properties. Nowdays, NMSettingBond is considered
a mistake (related bug rh#1032808). Many ideas of NMSettingBond
are flawed, like exposing an inferiour API that reduces everything
to a string hash. Also, it only implemented the options hash inside
NMSettingBond. That means, if we would consider this a good style,
we would have to duplicate this approach in each new setting
implementation.
Add a new style to track data for NMSetting subclasses. It keeps
an internal hash table with all GVariant properies. Also, the
functionality is hooked into NMSetting base class, so all future
subclasses that follow this way, can benefit from this. This approach
has a few similiarties with NMSettingBond, but avoids its flaws.
With this, we also no longer need GObject properties (if we would
also implement generating useful documentation based on non-gkt-doc).
They may be added as accessors if they are useful, but there is no
need for them.
Also, handling the properties as a hash of variants invites for a
more generic approach when handling them. While we still could add
accessors that operate on a one-by-one bases, this leads to a more
generic usage where we apply common functionality to a set of properties.
Also, this is for the moment entirely internal and an implementation
detail. It's entirely up to the NMSetting subclass to make use of this
new style. Also, there are little hooks for the subclass available.
If they turn out to be necessary, they might be added. However, for
the moment, the functionality is restricted to what is useful and
necessary.

NMSetting internally already tracked a list of all proper GObject properties
and D-Bus-only properties.
Rework the tracking of the list, so that:
- instead of attaching the data to the GType of the setting via
g_type_set_qdata(), it is tracked in a static array indexed by
NMMetaSettingType. This allows to find the setting-data by simple
pointer arithmetic, instead of taking a look and iterating (like
g_type_set_qdata() does).
Note, that this is still thread safe, because the static table entry is
initialized in the class-init function with _nm_setting_class_commit().
And it only accessed by following a NMSettingClass instance, thus
the class constructor already ran (maybe not for all setting classes,
but for the particular one that we look up).
I think this makes initialization of the metadata simpler to
understand.
Previously, in a first phase each class would attach the metadata
to the GType as setting_property_overrides_quark(). Then during
nm_setting_class_ensure_properties() it would merge them and
set as setting_properties_quark(). Now, during the first phase,
we only incrementally build a properties_override GArray, which
we finally hand over during nm_setting_class_commit().
- sort the property infos by name and do binary search.
Also expose this meta data types as internal API in nm-setting-private.h.
While not accessed yet, it can prove beneficial, to have direct (internal)
access to these structures.
Also, rename NMSettingProperty to NMSettInfoProperty to use a distinct
naming scheme. We already have 40+ subclasses of NMSetting that are called
NMSetting*. Likewise, NMMetaSetting* is heavily used already. So, choose a
new, distinct name.

We have NMMetaSettingType enum, which is an enum of all setting types.
We also have an efficient way to get the enum (and its NMMetaSettingInfo)
from an NMSetting, setting-name and GType.
No longer maintain the vtable for keyfile by "setting-name". Instead,
index it by NMMetaSettingType enum.
That way, we get efficient lookup, and don't need to duplicate the
functionality of finding the vtable entry for a setting.
