Ifcfg config file support in NetworkManger is deprecated. This patch provides support for the new keyfile config format for connection profiles in NetworkManager. The patch modifies the hv_kvp_daemon code to generate the new network configuration in keyfile format(.ini-style format) along with a ifcfg format configuration. The ifcfg format configuration is also retained to support easy backward compatibility for distro vendors. These configurations are stored in temp files which are further translated using the hv_set_ifconfig.sh script. This script is implemented by individual distros based on the network management commands supported. For example, RHEL's implementation could be found here: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/hyperv-daemons/-/blob/c9s/hv_set_ifconfig.sh Debian's implementation could be found here: https://github.com/endlessm/linux/blob/master/debian/cloud-tools/hv_set_ifconfig The next part of this support is to let the Distro vendors consume these modified implementations to the new configuration format.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
