When the interface is shut down the skeleton object no longer exists. Given that
we're allowing this actions from outside the interface, we should be safe and
don't assume that the caller knows exactly the state of the interface.
expire_signal_quality() / mm_iface_modem_update_access_technologies()
may be called after the DBus object skeleton is removed in
mm_iface_modem_shutdown() and before their associated timeout source is
removed (in *_context_free) due to destruction of the modem object.
This patch fixes the issue by removing context objects before removing
the DBus skeleton in mm_iface_modem_shutdown().
Modems which end up being found unusable (e.g. no SIM, fatal SIM error, no
capabilities) will be exposed in DBus, but just with the Modem interface and
in a FAILED state which allows no actions.
We need to define a state to be used while the modem is being initialized, so
that we forbid any operation on the modem on already exported interfaces, while
there are interfaces pending to get exported.
This Initializing state will also cover the state between having the SIM
unlocked (which launches re-initialization) and being completely initialized.
* mm_base_modem_peek_port_* () will return either a port object (no new
reference), or NULL if none available.
You would usually peek() a port if you're going to use it just in the current
method, as there is no way to that reference to get invalid (we're single
threaded).
* mm_base_modem_get_port_* () will return either NEW references to valid
port objects, or NULL if none available.
And, you would usually get() a port, whenever you want the port object to be
valid even out of the current method, for example when keeping it in the
context of an async operation.
Also, we need to consider that the primary AT port MAY BE NULL when you
peek() or get() it. This is due to the fact that we may be releasing ports
(due to device disconnection) in the middle of async operations.
Renamed `MMCommonSimpleProperties' to `MMSimpleStatus', and removed the
`MMSimpleStatusProperties' provided in libmm-glib. We'll just use the original
one from libmm-common always.
Renamed `MMCommonBearerProperties' to `MMBearerProperties', and removed the
`MMBearerProperties' provided in libmm-glib. We'll just use the original one
from libmm-common always.
Equivalent to `PinRetryCount' in the previous API. We don't have an additional
property for the retry count of the current lock, as it really is duplicating
information.
ModemManager will load:
1) The list of supported bands. Note that this doesn't mean that any possible
combination of bands is supported, as modems may support only specific
combinations, but at least gives a rough idea of what the modem is capable
of handling.
2) The list of CURRENT bands. There is no such "Allowed" bands, as we do with
modes, modems will have a specific set of bands being currently used, which
will be reported in the `Bands' property.
If the modem allows modifying the list of bands to use, this can be done with
the `SetBands()' method. If the modem doesn't support using a specific
combination of bands, this method will report an error.
That would mean that the implementation doesn't want to handle a SIM object
around, maybe because it doesn't support it properly, or because there is
no SIM at all (e.g. CDMA-only modems).
