The link_info_find() function previously allowed searching for links by
MAC address, but this introduced ambiguity and could cause false alarms
in certain cases (e.g. retrieving the link info by MAC might return the
link info that only matches the current MAC instead of the permanent
MAC). To ensure reliable behavior, this function should accept and match
the link info only by interface name.
To address the issues, the following changes were made:
- Removed MAC address matching logic to eliminate ambiguity.
- Simplified the function to only check ifname, making it more
predictable.
- Updated all callers to adapt to this change, ensuring correctness.
- When a profile is tied to an interface via mac only, the validation of
the existence of interface will now be delegated to NetworkManager
instead.

Add support for the `wait_ip` property, the system will consider
connection activated only when specific IP stack is configured.
This enables flexibility in scenarios such as
IPv6-only networks, where the overall network configuration can still
succeed when IPv4 configuration fails but IPv6 completes successfully.
The `wait_ip` can be configured with the following possible values:
* "any": System will consider interface activated when any IP stack is
configured.
* "ipv4": System will wait IPv4 been configured.
* "ipv6": System will wait IPv6 been configured.
* "ipv4+ipv6": System will wait both IPv4 and IPv6 been configured.

We have a lot of requests to support Rocky and Alma in various system roles. The
first part of adding support is adding `vars/` files for these platforms. In
almost every case, for a given major version N, the vars file RedHat_N.yml can
be used for CentOS, Rocky, and Alma. Rather than making a copy of the
RedHat_N.yml file, just use a symlink to reduce size and maintenance burden, and
standardize this across all system roles for consistency.
NOTE: There is no Alma or Rocky version 7 or less.
NOTE: OracleLinux is not a strict clone, so we are not going to do this for
OracleLinux at this time. Support for OracleLinux will need to be done in
separate PRs. For more information, see
https://github.com/linux-system-roles/cockpit/issues/130
**Question**: Why not just use `ansible_facts["os_family"] == "RedHat"`?
**Answer**: This is what Ansible uses as the RedHat os_family:
1e6ffc1d02/lib/ansible/module_utils/facts/system/distribution.py (L511)
There are a lot of distributions in there. I know that Fedora is not a clone of
RHEL, but it is very closely related. Most of the others are not clones, and it
would generally not work to replace ansible_distribution in ['CentOS', 'Fedora',
'RedHat'] with ansible_facts['os_family'] == 'RedHat' (but it would probably
work in specific cases with specific distributions). For example, OracleLinux
is in there, and we know that doesn't generally work. The only ones we can be
pretty sure about are `RedHat`, `CentOS`, `Fedora`, `AlmaLinux`, and `Rocky`.
**Question**: Does my role really need this because it should already work on
RHEL clones?
**Answer**: Maybe not - but:
* it doesn't hurt anything
* it's there if we need it in the future
* the role will be inconsistent with the other system roles if we don't have this
**Question**: Why do I need the `tests/vars/rh_distros_vars.yml` file? Doesn't
the test load the vars from the role?
**Answer**: No, the test does not load the vars from the role until the role is
included, and many tests use version and distribution before including the role.
**Question**: Do we need to change the code now to use the new variables?
**Answer**: No, not now, in subsequent PRs, hopefully by Alma and Rocky users.
Note that there may be more work to be done to the role to fully support Rocky
and Alma. Many roles have conditionals like this:
```yaml
some_var: "{{ 'some value' if ansible_distribution in ['CentOS', 'RedHat'] else 'other value' }}"
another_var: "{{ 'some value' if ansible_distribution in ['CentOS', 'Fedora', 'RedHat'] else 'other value' }}"
...
- name: Do something
when: ansible_distribution in ['CentOS', 'RedHat']
...
- name: Do something else
when: ansible_distribution in ['CentOS', 'Fedora', 'RedHat']
...
```
Adding Rocky and AlmaLinux to these conditionals will have to be done
separately. In order to simplify the task, some new variables are being
introduced:
```yaml
__$rolename_rh_distros:
- AlmaLinux
- CentOS
- RedHat
- Rocky
__$rolename_rh_distros_fedora: "{{ __$rolename_rh_distros + ['Fedora'] }}"
__$rolename_is_rh_distro: "{{ ansible_distribution in __$rolename_rh_distros }}"
__$rolename_is_rh_distro_fedora: "{{ ansible_distribution in __$rolename_rh_distros_fedora }}"
```
Then the conditionals can be rewritten as:
```yaml
some_var: "{{ 'some value' if __$rolename_is_rh_distro else 'other value' }}"
another_var: "{{ 'some value' if __$rolename_is_rh_distro_fedora else 'other value' }}"
...
- name: Do something
when: __$rolename_is_rh_distro | bool
...
- name: Do something else
when: __$rolename_is_rh_distro_fedora | bool
...
```
For tests - tests that use such conditionals will need to use `vars_files` or
`include_vars` to load the variables that are defined in
`tests/vars/rh_distros_vars.yml`:
```yaml
vars_files:
- vars/rh_distros_vars.yml
```
We don't currently have CI testing for Rocky or Alma, so someone wanting to run
tests on those platforms would need to change the test code to use these.

Enhancement: Add the optional route source parameter for the nm provider
Reason: In a scenario where you have a machine with multiple public IP
addresses, typically due to a multi-WAN setup, the src parameter in the
context of routes allows you to specify which source IP address should
be used when sending packets via a specific route. This is crucial when
you want to ensure that outbound traffic uses a specific IP address tied
to a particular network interface, especially when dealing with multiple
WAN connections.
Result: Adding support for the src parameter in routes results in a
more powerful and flexible network configuration capability, especially
important in environments with multiple network interfaces or multiple
IP addresses, it provides better control over traffic routing.

According to the Ansible team, support for listing platforms in
role `meta/main.yml` files is being removed.
Instead, they recommend using `galaxy_tags`
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.17/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.17.rst
"Remove the galaxy_info field platforms from the role templates"
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82453
Many roles already have tags such as "rhel", "redhat", "centos", and "fedora".
I propose that we ensure all of the system roles have these tags.
Some of our roles support Suse, Debian, Ubuntu, and others.
We should add tags for those e.g. the ssh role already has tags for "debian" and "ubuntu".
In addition - for each version listed under `platforms.EL` - add a tag like `elN`.
Q: Why not use a delimiter between the platform and the version e.g. `el-10`?
This is not allowed by ansible-lint:
```
meta-no-tags: Tags must contain lowercase letters and digits only., invalid: 'el-10'
meta/main.yml:1
```
So we cannot use uppercase letters either.
Q: Why not use our own meta/main.yml field?
No other fields are allowed by ansible-lint:
```
syntax-check[specific]: 'myfield' is not a valid attribute for a RoleMetadata
```
Q: Why not use some other field?
There are no other applicable or suitable fields.
Q: What happens when we want to support versions like `N.M`?
Use the word "dot" instead of "." e.g. `el10dot3`.
Similarly - use "dash" instead of "-".
We do not need tags such as `fedoraall`.
The `fedora` tag implies that the role works on all supported versions of fedora.
Otherwise, use tags such as `fedora40` if the role only supports specific versions.
Teaming support is dropped in EL10. Provide an error to users who attempt
to use teaming and suggest that they use bonding instead. Skip teaming
tests on EL10.

If updates for network packages are available and wireless or team
connections are specified, NetworkManager must be restarted, the role
requires user's consent to restart NetworkManager. Otherwise, there
might be property conflicts between NetworkManager daemon and plugin, or
NetworkManager plugin is not taking effect.
`update_cache` is enabled in the module tasks to check if updates for
network packages are available due to wireless or team interfaces, in
that case, NetworkManager needs user's explicit consent to be restarted
after the network package updates. And using `state: latest` for
checking the network package updates because we have to guarantee that
NetworkManager and its plugin have the same and most recent version for
configuring the network connections settings in the backend. It is
worthwhile to mention that we have both tasks using dnf and yum module
for checking available updates for network packages. Because checking
package cache update is not supported in Ansible package module, Fedora
and RHEL8+ use DNF package manager by default, RHEL7 uses yum package
manager by default.
This commit will address the situation that users forget to explicitly
specify `network_allow_restart: true` when specifying wireless or team
connections.

The old ansible-community ansible-lint is deprecated. There is a
new ansible-lint github action. The new ansible-lint has several checks
related to ansible-test and the ignore files. Many of our ignore settings
are not allowed any more and are required to be fixed or addressed in the
Ansible preferred way.
The python imports have to be wrapped in a try/except ImportError, and
where possible, an error must be returned from the module explaining
what was not able to be imported.
The module documentation must comply with the Ansible standards. One
aspect of this is the `version_added` must be a valid ansible-core
version in X.Y.Z format. Note that this version isn't really used
anywhere, so it doesn't matter for users of the role, it is purely
an `ansible-test` and import gating issue.
The result of this is that the .sanity files can be reduced to the
bare minimum which will greatly reduce the maintenance burden of
those files, make it easier to support newer versions of Ansible,
and make it easier to import the system roles collection into Galaxy
and Automation Hub.
The latest Ansible repo gating tests run ansible-lint against
the collection format instead of against individual roles.
We have to convert the role to collection format before running
ansible-test.
Role developers can run this locally using
`tox -e collection,ansible-lint-collection`
See https://github.com/linux-system-roles/tox-lsr/pull/125

Since the merge of nmstate commit 'nm dns: Support appending static DNS
before dynamic DNS' (https://github.com/nmstate/nmstate/pull/2438),
nmstate treats interface with `auto-dns: true` as valid to store DNS
and tries to use NetworkManager global DNS as much as possible. However,
in NM, `dns=systemd-resolved` does not support global DNS configuration,
because systemd-resolved only supports per-interface DNS servers (via
the D-Bus API). Therefore, write and validate the DNS configuration in
/run/NetworkManager/no-stub-resolv.conf, which contains the original
DNS settings pushed to the DNS plugin.

The dependency on `ansible.utils.update_fact` is causing issue with
some users who now must install that collection in order to run
the role, even if they do not care about ostree.
The fix is to stop trying to set `ansible_facts.pkg_mgr`, and instead
force the use of the ostree package manager with the `package:` module
`use:` option. The strategy is - on ostree systems, set the flag
`__$ROLENAME_is_ostree` if the system is an ostree system. The flag
will either be undefined or `false` on non-ostree systems.
Then, change every invocation of the `package:` module like this:
```yaml
- name: Ensure required packages are present
package:
name: "{{ __$ROLENAME_packages }}"
state: present
use: "{{ (__$ROLENAME_is_ostree | d(false)) |
ternary('ansible.posix.rhel_rpm_ostree', omit) }}"
```
This should ensure that the `use:` parameter is not used if the system
is non-ostree. The goal is to make the ostree support as unobtrusive
as possible for non-ostree systems.
The user can also set `__$ROLENAME_is_ostree: true` in the inventory or play
if the user knows that ostree is being used and wants to skip the check.
Or, the user is concerned about the performance hit for ostree detection
on non-ostree systems, and sets `__$ROLENAME_is_ostree: false` to skip
the check.
The flag `__$ROLENAME_is_ostree` can also be used in the role or tests to
include or exclude tasks from being run on ostree systems.
This fix also improves error reporting in the `get_ostree_data.sh` script
when included roles cannot be found.
