[PATCH v2] checkpoint: better restore device managed state on rollback none

Description Vladimir Benes 2017-06-26 08:36:14 UTC
Description of problem:
Now NM can restore unmanaged state but not the other way. 

this works:
    @snapshot_rollback_unmanaged
    Scenario: NM - general - snapshot and rollback unmanaged
    * Execute "nmcli device set eth1 managed off"
    * Snapshot "create" for "eth1" with timeout "10"
    * Execute "nmcli device set eth1 managed on"
    When "unmanaged" is not visible with command "nmcli device show eth1" in "5" seconds
    * Wait for at least "15" seconds
    Then "unmanaged" is visible with command "nmcli device show eth1" in "5" seconds

but this doesn't:
    @snapshot_rollback_unmanaged
    Scenario: NM - general - snapshot and rollback managed
    * Snapshot "create" for "eth1" with timeout "10"
    * Execute "nmcli device set eth1 managed off"
    When "unmanaged" is visible with command "nmcli device show eth1" in "5" seconds
    * Wait for at least "15" seconds
    Then "unmanaged" is not visible with command "nmcli device show eth1" in "5" seconds

+                         NM_UNMANAGED_USER_EXPLICIT,
+                         NM_UNMAN_FLAG_OP_SET_MANAGED,
+                         NM_DEVICE_STATE_REASON_NOW_UNMANAGED);

the reason seems wrong.

for certain unmanaged flags (especially USER_EXPLICIT), it makes a difference whether the flag is unspecified. See _get_managed_by_flags(). You should only touch the USER_EXPLICIT flag, if nm_device_get_unmanaged_mask() indicates that the flag is already set.
Probably, dev_checkpoint->unmanaged_explicit should not be boolean but tri-state (NMUnmanFlagOp).

How about v2?
