* core: rework handling of default-routes and drop NMDefaultRouteManagerth/platform-route-pt4Thomas Haller2017-09-081-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove NMDefaultRouteManager. Instead, add the default-route to the NMIP4Config/NMIP6Config instance. This basically reverts commit e8824f6a5205ffcf761abd3e0897a22b254c7797. We added NMDefaultRouteManager because we used the corresponding to `ip route replace` when configuring routes. That would replace default-routes on other interfaces so we needed a central manager to coordinate routes. Now, we use the corresponding of `ip route append` to configure routes, and each interface can configure routes indepdentently. In NMDevice, when creating the default-route, ignore @auto_method for external devices. We shall not touch these devices. Especially the code in NMPolicy regarding selection of the best-device seems wrong. It probably needs further adjustments in the future. Especially get_best_ip_config() should be replaced, because this distinction VPN vs. devices seems wrong to me. Thereby, remove the @ignore_never_default argument. It was added by commit bb750260045239ab85574366bae8102eff8058cc, I don't think it's needed anymore. This brings another change. Now that we track default-routes in NMIP4Config/NMIP6Config, they are also exposed on D-Bus like regular routes. I think that makes sense, but it is a change in behavior, as previously such routes were not exposed there.
* platform: add non-exclusive routes and drop route-managerThomas Haller2017-08-241-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we would add exclusive routes via netlink message flags NLM_F_CREATE | NLM_F_REPLACE for RTM_NEWROUTE. Similar to `ip route replace`. Using that form of RTM_NEWROUTE message, we could only add a certain route with a certain network/plen,metric triple once. That was already hugely inconvenient, because - when configuring routes, multiple (managed) interfaces may get conflicting routes (multihoming). Only one of the routes can be actually configured using `ip route replace`, so we need to track routes that are currently shadowed. - when configuring routes, we might replace externally configured routes on unmanaged interfaces. We should not interfere with such routes. That was worked around by having NMRouteManager (and NMDefaultRouteManager). NMRouteManager would keep a list of the routes which NetworkManager would like to configure, even if momentarily being unable to do so due to conflicting routes. This worked mostly well but was complicated. It involved bumping metrics to avoid conflicts for device routes, as we might require them for gateway routes. Drop that now. Instead, use the corresponding of `ip route append` to configure routes. This allows NetworkManager to confiure (almost) all routes that we care. Especially, it can configure all routes on a managed interface, without replacing/interfering with routes on other interfaces. Hence, NMRouteManager becomes obsolete. It practice it is a bit more complicated because: - when adding an IPv4 address, kernel will automatically create a device route for the subnet. We should avoid that by using the IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE flag for IPv4 addresses (still to-do). But as kernel may not support that flag for IPv4 addresses yet (and we don't require such a kernel yet), we still need functionality similar to nm_route_manager_ip4_route_register_device_route_purge_list(). This functionality is now handled via nm_platform_ip4_dev_route_blacklist_set(). - trying to configure an IPv6 route with a source address will be rejected by kernel as long as the address is tentative (see related bug rh#1457196). Preferably, NMDevice would keep the list of routes which should be configured, while kernel would have the list of what actually is configured. There is a feed-back loop where both affect each other (for example, when externally deleting a route, NMDevice must forget about it too). Previously, NMRouteManager would have the task of remembering all routes which we currently want to configure, but cannot due to conflicting routes. We get rid of that, because now we configure non-exclusive routes. We however still will need to remember IPv6 routes with a source address, that currently cannot be configured yet. Hence, we will need to keep track of routes that currently cannot be configured, but later may be. That is still not done yet, as NMRouteManager didn't handle this correctly either.
* core: pass NMDedupMultiIndex instance to NMIP4Config and otherThomas Haller2017-07-051-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | NMIP4Config, NMIP6Config, and NMPlatform shall share one NMDedupMultiIndex instance. For that, pass an NMDedupMultiIndex instance to NMPlatform and NMNetns. NMNetns than passes it on to NMDevice, NMDhcpClient, NMIP4Config and NMIP6Config. So currently NMNetns is the access point to the shared NMDedupMultiIndex instance, and it gets it from it's NMPlatform instance. The NMDedupMultiIndex instance is really a singleton, we don't want multiple instances of it. However, for testing, instead of adding a singleton instance, pass the instance explicitly around.
* device: keep NMNetns instance per deviceThomas Haller2017-04-181-14/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This also ensures that we own a reference to the NMPlatform, NMRouteManager and NMDefaultRouteManager instances. See bug rh#1440089 where we might access the singleton getter after destroing the singleton instance of NMRouteManager. This is prevented by keeping a reference to those instances -- indirectly via the netns instance. Later, we may add support for multiple namespaces. Then it might make sense to swap the NMNetns instance of a device when moving the device between namespaces. Also, drop the use of singelton instances. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1440089 (cherry picked from commit c48a19b7c6009ee85a4d6a6caa96570de6b315ca)
* core: add NMNetns to bundle platform and route managersThomas Haller2017-04-181-0/+190
NMPlatform, NMRouteManager and NMDefaultRouteManager are singletons instances. Users of those are for example NMDevice, which registers to GObject signals of both NMPlatform and NMRouteManager. Hence, as NMDevice:dispose() disconnects the signal handlers, it must ensure that those singleton instances live longer then the NMDevice instance. That is usually accomplished by having users of singleton instances own a reference to those instances. For NMDevice that effectively means that it shall own a reference to several singletons. NMPlatform, NMRouteManager, and NMDefaultRouteManager are all per-namespace. In general it doesn't make sense to have more then one instances of these per name space. Nnote that currently we don't support multiple namespaces yet. If we will ever support multiple namespaces, then a NMDevice would have a reference to all of these manager instances. Hence, introduce a new class NMNetns which bundles them together. (cherry picked from commit 0af2f5c28b7646c687b5180a45a9124d62c0dfac)
