Possible fix would be do the activation after all profiles are created/updated. And we also need to raise exception when user try to assign IPv4/IPv6 to bridge/bond/etc without slave attached. Changing IPv6 from link-local method to ignore could also solve the problem. Patch posted to upstream: https://github.com/nmstate/nmstate/pull/421 Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Description of problem: When applying below config: ``` --- interfaces: - name: eth1 type: ethernet state: up - name: br0 type: linux-bridge state: up bridge: port: - name: eth1 ipv4: dhcp: false enabled: false ipv6: autoconf: false dhcp: false enabled: true ``` The nmstate will get timeout error: libnmstate.error.NmstateLibnmError: Unexpected failure of libnm when running the mainloop: run timeout Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nmstate-0.0.7-1.el8.src.rpm NetworkManager-libnm-1.20.0-0.1.el8.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo ip link add eth1 type veth peer name eth2 2. save above config to `1.yml` file. 3. sudo nmstate set 1.yml Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Since link local address will be ignored, setting with link local address has the same effect. Root cause: When autoconf and dhcp disabled for IPV6 with no ipv6 address assigned, the br0 will be set as ipv6.method == link-local. The NetworkManager try to wait the br0 for link up: Jun 24 15:37:23 el8 NetworkManager[1011]: <info> [1561361843.2431] device (br0): IPv6 config waiting until carrier is on But at the stage of br0 activation, its slave profile is not created yet.
