This patch that adds support for configuring 802.1Qbg and 802.1Qbh
switches. The 802.1Qbh part has been successfully tested with real
hardware. The 802.1Qbg part has only been tested with a (dummy)
server that 'behaves' similarly to how we expect lldpad to 'behave'.
The following changes were made during the development of this patch:
- Merging Scott's v13-pre1 patch
- Fixing endptr related bug while using virStrToLong_ui() pointed out
by Jim Meyering
- Addressing Jim Meyering's comments to v11
- requiring mac address to the vpDisassociateProfileId() function to
pass it further to the 802.1Qbg disassociate part (802.1Qbh untouched)
- determining pid of lldpad daemon by reading it from /var/run/libvirt.pid
(hardcode as is hardcode alson in lldpad sources)
- merging netlink send code for kernel target and user space target
(lldpad) using one function nlComm() to send the messages
- adding a select() after the sending and before the reading of the
netlink response in case lldpad doesn't respond and so we don't hang
- when reading the port status, in case of 802.1Qbg, no status may be
received while things are 'in progress' and only at the end a status
will be there.
- when reading the port status, use the given instanceId and vf to pick
the right IFLA_VF_PORT among those nested under IFLA_VF_PORTS.
- never sending nor parsing IFLA_PORT_SELF type of messages in the
802.1Qbg case
- iterating over the elements in a IFLA_VF_PORTS to pick the right
IFLA_VF_PORT by either IFLA_PORT_PROFILE and given profileId
(802.1Qbh) or IFLA_PORT_INSTANCE_UUID and given instanceId (802.1Qbg)
and reading the current status in IFLA_PORT_RESPONSE.
- recycling a previous patch that adds functionality to interface.c to
- get the vlan identifier on an interface
- get the flags of an interface and some convenience function to
check whether an interface is 'up' or not (not currently used here)
- adding function to determine the root physical interface of an
interface. For example if a macvtap is linked to eth0.100, it will
find eth0. Also adding a function that finds the vlan on the 'way to
the root physical interface'
- conveying the root physical interface name and index in case of 802.1Qbg
- conveying mac address of macvlan device and vlan identifier in
IFLA_VFINFO_LIST[ IFLA_VF_INFO[ IFLA_VF_MAC(mac), IFLA_VF_VLAN(vlan) ] ]
to (future) lldpad via netlink
- To enable build with --without-macvtap rename the
[dis|]associatePortProfileId functions, prepend 'vp' before their
name and make them non-static functions.
- Renaming variable multicast to nltarget_kernel and inverting
the logic
- Addressing Jim Meyering's comments; this also touches existing
code for example for correcting indentation of break statements or
simplification of switch statements.
- Renamed occurrencvirVirtualPortProfileDef to virVirtualPortProfileParamses
- 802.1Qbg part prepared for sending a RTM_SETLINK and getting
processing status back plus a subsequent RTM_GETLINK to
get IFLA_PORT_RESPONSE.
Note: This interface for 802.1Qbg may still change
- [David Allan] move getPhysfn inside IFLA_VF_PORT_MAX to avoid
compiler
warning when latest if_link.h isn't available
- move from Stefan's 802.1Qb{g|h} XML v8 to v9
- move hostuuid and vf index calcs to inside doPortProfileOp8021Qbh
- remove debug fprintfs
- use virGetHostUUID (thanks Stefan!)
- fix compile issue when latest if_link.h isn't available
- change poll timeout to 10s, at 1/8 intervals
- if polling times out, log msg and return -ETIMEDOUT
- Add Stefan's code for getPortProfileStatus
- Poll for up to 2 secs for port-profile status, at 1/8 sec intervals:
- if status indicates error, abort openMacvtapTap
- if status indicates success, exit polling
- if status is "in-progress" after 2 secs of polling, exit
polling loop silently, without error
My patch finishes out the 802.1Qbh parts, which Stefan had mostly complete.
I've tested using the recent kernel updates for VF_PORT netlink msgs and
enic for Cisco's 10G Ethernet NIC. I tested many VMs, each with several
direct interfaces, each configured with a port-profile per the XML. VM-to-VM,
and VM-to-external work as expected. VM-to-VM on same host (using same NIC)
works same as VM-to-VM where VMs are on diff hosts. I'm able to change
settings on the port-profile while the VM is running to change the virtual
port behaviour. For example, adjusting a QoS setting like rate limit. All
VMs with interfaces using that port-profile immediatly see the effect of the
change to the port-profile.
I don't have a SR-IOV device to test so source dev is a non-SR-IOV device,
but most of the code paths include support for specifing the source dev and
VF index. We'll need to complete this by discovering the PF given the VF
linkdev. Once we have the PF, we'll also have the VF index. All this info-
mation is available from sysfs.
Since the macvtap device needs active tear-down and the teardown logic
is based on the interface name, it can happen that if for example 1 out
of 3 interfaces was successfully created, that during the failure path
the macvtap's target device name is used to tear down an interface that
is doesn't own (owned by another VM).
So, in this patch, the target interface name is reset so that there is
no target interface name and the interface name is always cleared after
a tear down.
This patch parses the following two XML descriptions, one for
802.1Qbg and one for 802.1Qbh, and stores the data internally.
The actual triggering of the switch setup protocol has not been
implemented here but the relevant code to do that should go into
the functions associatePortProfileId() and disassociatePortProfileId().
<interface type='direct'>
<source dev='eth0.100' mode='vepa'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<virtualport type='802.1Qbg'>
<parameters managerid='12' typeid='0x123456' typeidversion='1'
instanceid='fa9b7fff-b0a0-4893-8e0e-beef4ff18f8f'/>
</virtualport>
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'/>
</interface>
<interface type='direct'>
<source dev='eth0.100' mode='vepa'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<virtualport type='802.1Qbh'>
<parameters profileid='my_profile'/>
</virtualport>
</interface>
I'd suggest to use this patch as a base for triggering the setup
protocol with the 802.1Qb{g|h} switch.
Several rounds of changes were made to this patch. The
following is a list of these changes.
- Renamed structure virVirtualPortProfileDef to virVirtualPortProfileParams
as per Daniel Berrange's request
- Addressing Daniel Berrange's comments:
- removing macvtap.h's dependency on domain_conf.h by
moving the virVirtualPortProfileDef structure into macvtap.h
and not passing virtDomainNetDefPtr to any functions in
macvtap.c
- Addressed most of Chris Wright's comments:
- indicating error in case virtualport XML node cannot be parsed
properly
- parsing hex and decimal numbers using virStrToLong_ui() with
parameter '0' for base
- tgifname (target interface name) variable wasn't necessary
to pass to openMacvtapTap function anymore
- assigning the virtual port data structure to the virDomainNetDef
only if it was previously parsed
- make sure that the error code returned by openMacvtapTap() is a negative n
in case the associatePortProfileId() function failed.
- renaming vsi in the XML to virtualport
- replace all occurrences of vsi in the source as well
- removing mode and MAC address parameters from the functions that
will communicate with the hareware diretctly or indirectly
- moving the associate and disassociate functions to the end of the
file for subsequent patches to easier make them generally available
for export
- passing the macvtap interface name rather than the link device since
this otherwise gives funny side effects when using netlink messages
where IFLA_IFNAME and IFLA_ADDRESS are specified and the link dev
all of a sudden gets the MAC address of the macvtap interface.
- Removing rc = -1 error indications in the case of 802.1Qbg|h setup in case
we wanted to use hook scripts for the setup and so the setup doesn't fail
here.
- if instance ID UUID is not supplied it will automatically be generated
- adapted schema to make instance ID UUID optional
- added test case
- parser and XML generator have been separated into their own
functions so they can be re-used elsewhere (passthrough case
for example)
- Adapted XML parser and generator support the above shown type
(802.1Qbg, 802.1Qbh).
- Adapted schema to above XML
- Adapted test XML to above XML
- Passing through the VM's UUID which seems to be necessary for
802.1Qbh -- sorry no host UUID
- adding virtual function ID to association function, in case it's
necessary to use (for SR-IOV)
This patch introduces a dependency on libnl, which subsequent patches
will then use.
Changes from V1 to V2:
- added diffstats
- following changes in tree
Add ebtables,iptables & iptables-ipv6 dependency to rpm.
Changes from V1 to V2:
-passing --without-libpcap to configure script, if libpcap is not to be used
When a filter is updated, only those interfaces must have their old
rules cleared that either reference the filter directly or indirectly
through another filter. Remember between the different steps of the
instantiation of the filters which interfaces must be skipped. I am
using a hash map to remember the names of the interfaces and store a
bogus pointer to ~0 into it that need not be freed.
For the decision on whether to instantiate the rules, the check for a
pending IP address learn request is not sufficient since then only the
thread could instantiate the rules. So, a boolean needs to be passed
when the thread instantiates the filter rules late and the IP address
learn request is still pending in order to override the check for the
pending learn request. If the rules are to be updated while the thread
is active, this will not be done immediately but the thread will do that
later on.
Introduce a function to notify the IP address learning
thread to terminate and thus release the lock on the interface.
Notify the thread before grabbing the lock on the interface
and tearing down the rules. This prevents a 'virsh destroy' to
tear down the rules that the IP address learning thread has
applied.
The functions invoked by the IP address learning thread
that apply some basic filtering rules did not clean up
any previous filtering rules that may still be there
(due to a libvirt restart for example). With the
patch below all the rules are cleaned up first.
Also, I am introducing a function to drop all traffic
in case the IP address learning thread could not apply
the rules.
The local DHCP server on virtbr0 sends DHCP ACK messages when a VM is
started and requests an IP address while the initial DHCP lease on the
VM's MAC address hasn't expired. So, also pick the IP address of the VM
if that type of message is seen.
Thanks to Gerhard Stenzel for providing a test case for this.
Changes from V1 to V2:
- cleanup: replacing DHCP option numbers through constants
So far the references to other filters needed to appear before filtering
rules. With the below patch they can now appear in any order.
Also I forgot to add a couple of 'rarp's.
Qemu currently sends an Ethernet packet with protocol id 0x835 once a VM
was successfully migrated. The content of the packet looks like a
gratuitous RARP, just with the wrong protocol ID, which should be
0x8035. I wrote some filters to let either one of the packets pass and
am adapting the clean-traffic sample filter to use it. I am also
doing some changes on the existing ARP filter which was lacking a
test for source MAC address.
This patch adds support for the RARP protocol. This may be needed due to
qemu sending out a RARP packet (at least that's what it seems to want to
do even though the protocol id is wrong) when migration finishes and
we'd need a rule to let the packets pass.
Unfortunately my installation of ebtables does not understand -p RARP
and also seems to otherwise depend on strings in /etc/ethertype
translated to protocol identifiers. Therefore I need to pass -p 0x8035
for RARP. To generally get rid of the dependency of that file I switch
all so far supported protocols to use their protocol identifier in the
-p parameter rather than the string.
I am also extending the schema and added a test case.
changes from v1 to v2:
- added test case into patch
With this patch I want to enable hex number inputs in the filter XML. A
number that was entered as hex is also printed as hex unless a string
representing the meaning can be found.
I am also extending the schema and adding a test case. A problem with
the DSCP value is fixed on the way as well.
Changes from V1 to V2:
- using asHex boolean in all printf type of functions to select the
output format in hex or decimal format
- using INT_BUFSIZE_BOUND() to determine the length of the buffersize
for printing and integer into
- not explicitly initializing static var threadsTerminate to false
anymore, since that's done automatically
Changes after V2:
- removed while looks in case of OOM error
- removed on ifaceDown() call
- preceding one ifaceDown() call with an ifaceCheck() call
Since the name of an interface can be the same between stops and starts
of different VMs I have to switch the IP address learning thread to use
the index of the interface to determine whether an interface is still
available or not - in the case of macvtap the thread needs to listen for
traffic on the physical interface, thus having to time out periodically
to check whether the VM's macvtap device is still there as an indication
that the VM is still alive. Previously the following sequence of 2 VMs
with macvtap device
virsh start testvm1; virsh destroy testvm1 ; virsh start testvm2
would not terminate the thread upon testvm1's destroy since the name of
the interface on the host could be the same (i.e, macvtap0) on testvm1
and testvm2, thus it was easily race-able. The thread would then
determine the IP address parameter for testvm2 but apply the rule set
for testvm1. :-(
I am also introducing a lock for the interface (by name) that the thread
must hold while it listens for the traffic and releases when it
terminates upon VM termination or 0.5 second thereafter. Thus, the new
thread for a newly started VM with the same interface name will not
start while the old one still holds the lock. The only other code that I
see that also needs to grab the lock to serialize operation is the one
that tears down the firewall that were established on behalf of an
interface.
I am moving the code applying the 'basic' firewall rules during the IP
address learning phase inside the thread but won't start the thread
unless it is ensured that the firewall driver has the ability to apply
the 'basic' firewall rules.
I am moving some of the eb/iptables related functions into the interface
of the firewall driver and am making them only accessible via the driver's
interface. Otherwise exsiting code is adapted where needed. I am adding one
new function to the interface that checks whether the 'basic' rules can be
applied, which will then be used by a subsequent patch.
To avoid race-conditions, the tear down of a filter has to happen before
the tap interface disappears and another tap interface with the same
name can re-appear. This patch tries to fix this. In one place, where
communication with the qemu monitor may fail, I am only tearing the
filters down after knowing that the function did not fail.
I am also moving the tear down functions into an include file for other
drivers to reuse.
I am getting rid of determining the path to necessary CLI tools at
compile time. Instead, now the firewall driver has an initialization
function that uses virFindFileInPath() to determine the path to
necessary CLI tools and a shutdown function to free allocated memory.
The rest of the patch mostly deals with availability of the CLI tools
and to not call certain code blocks if a tool is not available and that
strings now have to be built slightly differently.
Changes from v1 to v2:
- changed function name prefixes to 'iface' from previous 'Iface'
- Further to make make syntax-check pass:
- indentation fix in interface.h
- added entry to POTFILES.in
I am consolidating network interface related functions used in nwfilter
and macvtap code in utils/interface.c. All function names are prefixed
with 'Iface'. The following functions are now available through
interface.h:
int ifaceCtrl(const char *name, bool up);
int ifaceUp(const char *name);
int ifaceDown(const char *name);
int ifaceCheck(bool reportError, const char *ifname,
const unsigned char *macaddr, int ifindex);
int ifaceGetIndex(bool reportError, const char *ifname, int *ifindex);
I added 'int ifindex' as parameter to ifaceCheck to the original
function and modified the code accordingly.
With Eric Blake's spelling corrections applied.
Unfortunately after the 0.8.0 release, but here's a beginning of the
documentation of the nwfilter functionality.
I mistakenly took the op field in the DHCP message as the DHCP_OFFER
type. Rather than basing the decision to read the VM's IP address on
that field, process the appended DHCP options where option 53 indicates
the actual type of the packet. I am also reading the broadcast address
of the VM, but don't use it so far.
Changes from V1 to V2 of this patch
- I had reversed the logic thinking that icmp type 0 is a echo
request,but it's reply -- needed to reverse the logic
- Found that ebtables takes the --ip-tos argument only as a hex number
This patch enables the skipping of some of the ICMP traffic rules on the
iptables level under certain circumstances so that the following filter
properly enables unidirectional pings:
<filter name='testcase'>
<uuid>d6b1a2af-def6-2898-9f8d-4a74e3c39558</uuid>
<!-- allow incoming ICMP Echo Request -->
<rule action='accept' direction='in' priority='500'>
<icmp type='8'/>
</rule>
<!-- allow outgoing ICMP Echo Reply -->
<rule action='accept' direction='out' priority='500'>
<icmp type='0'/>
</rule>
<!-- drop all other ICMP traffic -->
<rule action='drop' direction='inout' priority='600'>
<icmp/>
</rule>
</filter>
This patch implements support for learning a VM's IP address. It uses
the pcap library to listen on the VM's backend network interface (tap)
or the physical ethernet device (macvtap) and tries to capture packets
with source or destination MAC address of the VM and learn from DHCP
Offers, ARP traffic, or first-sent IPv4 packet what the IP address of
the VM's interface is. This then allows to instantiate the network
traffic filtering rules without the user having to provide the IP
parameter somewhere in the filter description or in the interface
description as a parameter. This only supports to detect the parameter
IP, which is for the assumed single IPv4 address of a VM. There is not
support for interfaces that may have multiple IP addresses (IP
aliasing) or IPv6 that may then require more than one valid IP address
to be detected. A VM can have multiple independent interfaces that each
uses a different IP address and in that case it will be attempted to
detect each one of the address independently.
So, when for example an interface description in the domain XML has
looked like this up to now:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='mybridge'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'>
<parameter name='IP' value='10.2.3.4'/>
</filterref>
</interface>
you may omit the IP parameter:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='mybridge'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'/>
</interface>
Internally I am walking the 'tree' of a VM's referenced network filters
and determine with the given variables which variables are missing. Now,
the above IP parameter may be missing and this causes a libvirt-internal
thread to be started that uses the pcap library's API to listen to the
backend interface (in case of macvtap to the physical interface) in an
attempt to determine the missing IP parameter. If the backend interface
disappears the thread terminates assuming the VM was brought down. In
case of a macvtap device a timeout is being used to wait for packets
from the given VM (filtering by VM's interface MAC address). If the VM's
macvtap device disappeared the thread also terminates. In all other
cases it tries to determine the IP address of the VM and will then apply
the rules late on the given interface, which would have happened
immediately if the IP parameter had been explicitly given. In case an
error happens while the firewall rules are applied, the VM's backend
interface is 'down'ed preventing it to communicate. Reasons for failure
for applying the network firewall rules may that an ebtables/iptables
command failes or OOM errors. Essentially the same failure reasons may
occur as when the firewall rules are applied immediately on VM start,
except that due to the late application of the filtering rules the VM
now is already running and cannot be hindered anymore from starting.
Bringing down the whole VM would probably be considered too drastic.
While a VM's IP address is attempted to be determined only limited
updates to network filters are allowed. In particular it is prevented
that filters are modified in such a way that they would introduce new
variables.
A caveat: The algorithm does not know which one is the appropriate IP
address of a VM. If the VM spoofs an IP address in its first ARP traffic
or IPv4 packets its filtering rules will be instantiated for this IP
address, thus 'locking' it to the found IP address. So, it's still
'safer' to explicitly provide the IP address of a VM's interface in the
filter description if it is known beforehand.

The attached patch fixes a problem due to the mac match in iptables only
supporting --mac-source and no --mac-destination, thus it not being
symmetric. Therefore a rule like this one
<rule action='drop' direction='out'>
<all match='no' srcmacaddr='$MAC'/>
</rule>
should only have the MAC match on traffic leaving the VM and not test
for the same source MAC address on traffic that the VM receives.
This patch adds a relaxng nwfilter schema along with a test that
verifies all the test output XML against the schema. The input XMLs
contain a lot of intentional out-of-range values that make them fail the
schema verification, so I am not verifying against those.
With Eric Blake's suggestions applied.
The following rule for direction 'in'
<rule direction='in' action='drop'>
<mac srcmacaddr='1:2:3:4:5:6'/>
</rule>
drops all traffic from the given mac address.
The following rule for direction 'out'
<rule direction='out' action='drop'>
<mac dstmacaddr='1:2:3:4:5:6'/>
</rule>
drops all traffic to the given mac address.
The following rule in direction 'inout'
<rule direction='inout' action='drop'>
<mac srcmacaddr='1:2:3:4:5:6'/>
</rule>
now drops all traffic from and to the given MAC address.
So far it would have dropped traffic from the given MAC address
and outgoing traffic with the given source MAC address, which is not useful
since the packets will always have the VM's MAC address as source
MAC address. The attached patch fixes this.
This is the last bug I currently know of and want to fix.
values. Rather use the strspn() function. Along with this cleanup the
initialization function for the code that used the regular expression
can also be removed.
- ebtables requires that some of the command line parameters are passed as hex numbers; so have those attributes call a function that prints 16 and 8 bit integers as hex nunbers.
- ip6tables requires '--icmpv6-type' rather than '--icmp-type'
- ebtables complains about protocol identifiers lower than 0x600, so already discard anything lower than 0x600 in the parser
- make the protocol entry types more readable using a #define for its entries
- continue parsing a filtering rule even if a faulty entry is encountered; return an error value at the end and let the caller decide what to do with the rule's object
- fix an error message
found some cases where the output ended up not looking as expected. So
the following changes are in the patch below:
- if the protocol ID in the MAC header is an integer, just write it into
the datastructure without trying to find a corresponding string for it
and if none is found failing
- when writing the protocol ID as string, simply write it as integer if
no corresponding string can be found
- same changes for arpOpcode parsing and printing
- same changes for protocol ID in an IP packet
- DSCP value needs to be written into the data structure
- IP protocol version number is redundant at this level, so remove it
- parse the protocol ID found inside an IP packet not only as string but
also as uint8
- arrange the display of the src and destination masks to be shown after
the src and destination ip address respectively in the XML
- the existing libvirt IP address parser accepts for example '25' as an
IP address. I want this to be parsed as a CIDR type netmask. So try to
parse it as an integer first (CIDR netmask) and if that doesn't work as
a dotted IP address style netmask.
- instantiation of rules with MAC masks didn't work because they weren't
printed into a buffer, yet.
Check that interface names only contain valid characters. Blank them out
otherwise.
Valid characters in this code are currently a-z,A-Z,0-9, '-' and '_'.
This patch changes the network filtering code to use libvirt's existing
IPv4 and IPv6 address parsers/printers rather than my self-written ones.
I am introducing a new function in network.c that counts the number of
bits in a netmask and ensures that the given address is indeed a netmask,
return -1 on error or values of 0-32 for IPv4 addresses and 0-128 for
IPv6 addresses. I then based the function checking for valid netmask
on invoking this function.
This patch adds IPv6 filtering support for the following protocols:
- tcp-ipv6
- udp-ipv6
- udplite-ipv6
- esp-ipv6
- ah-ipv6
- sctp-ipv6
- all-ipv6
- icmpv6
Many of the IPv4 data structure could be re-used for IPv6 support.
Since ip6tables also supports pretty much the same command line parameters
as iptables does, also much of the code could be re-used and now
command lines are invoked with the ip(6)tables tool parameter passed
through the functions as a parameter.
This patch removes the driver dependency from nwfilter_conf.c and moves
a callback function calling into the driver into
nwfilter_gentech_driver.c and passes a pointer to that callback function
upon initialization of nwfilter_conf.c.
This patch fixes the 'make check' runs for me which, under certain
circumstances and login configurations, did invoke popups requesting
authentication. I removed the parameter conn from being passed into the
error reporting function.
* src/conf/nwfilter_conf.h src/conf/nwfilter_conf.c: remove conn from
error reporting parameters.
This patch adds support for L3/L4 filtering using iptables. This adds
support for 'tcp', 'udp', 'icmp', 'igmp', 'sctp' etc. filtering.
As mentioned in the introduction, a .c file provided by this patch
is #include'd into a .c file. This will need work, but should be alright
for review.

To find out where the net type 'direct' needs to be handled I introduced
the 'enum virDomainNetType' in the virDomainNetDef structure and let the
compiler tell me where the case statement is missing. Then I added the
unhandled device statement to the UML driver.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: change _virDomainNetDef type from int to
virDomainNetType enum
* src/conf/domain_conf.c src/lxc/lxc_driver.c src/qemu/qemu_conf.c
src/uml/uml_conf.c: make sure all enum cases are properly handled
in switches
In the documentation mention that the direct device support is there
since libvirt 0.7.7. A Linux kernel 2.6.34 is required for macvtap to be
available as standard device.
This patch sets or unsets the IFF_VNET_HDR flag depending on what device
is used in the VM. The manipulation of the flag is done in the open
function and is only fatal if the IFF_VNET_HDR flag could not be cleared
although it has to be (or if an ioctl generally fails). In that case the
macvtap tap is closed again and the macvtap interface torn.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: pass qemuCmdFlags to
qemudPhysIfaceConnect()
* src/util/macvtap.c src/util/macvtap.h: add vnet_hdr boolean to
openMacvtapTap(), and private function configMacvtapTap()
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: add extra qemuCmdFlags when calling
qemudPhysIfaceConnect()
Rework and simplification of teardown of the macvtap device.
Basically all devices with the same MAC address and link device are kept
alive and not attempted to be torn down. If a macvtap device linked to a
physical interface with a certain MAC address 'M' is to be created it
will automatically fail if the interface is 'up'ed and another macvtap
with the same properties (MAC addr 'M', link dev) happens to be 'up'.
This will prevent the VM from starting or the device from being attached
to a running VM. Stale interfaces are assumed to be there for some
reason and not stem from libvirt.
In the VM shutdown path, it's assuming that an interface name is always
available so that if the device type is DIRECT it can be torn down
using its name.
* src/util/macvtap.h src/libvirt_macvtap.syms: change of deleting routine
* src/util/macvtap.c: cleanups and change of deleting routine
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: change cleanup on shutdown
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: don't delete Macvtap in qemudPhysIfaceConnect()
This part adds support for qemu making a macvtap tap device available
via file descriptor passed to qemu command line. This also attempts to
tear down the macvtap device when a VM terminates. This includes support
for attachment and detachment to/from running VM.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.[ch] src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: add support in the
QEmu driver
This part adds the helper code to setup and tear down macvtap devices
using direct communication with the device driver via netlink sockets.
The rather short messages received from the netlink layer are now
written into a dynamically allocated buffer
* src/util/macvtap.h src/util/macvtap.c: provides the new module
* po/POTFILES.in: the module contains translated strings
This part adds support to domain_conf.{c|h} for parsing the new
interface XML of type 'direct'. The parsed mode is now stored as
an int.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c src/conf/domain_conf.h: extend parsing code
* src/util/macvtap.h: empty header to not break compilation
This patch adds build support for libvirt checking for certain contents
of /usr/include/linux/if_link.h to see whether macvtap support is
compilable on that system. One can disable macvtap support in libvirt
via --without-macvtap passed to configure.
* configure.ac src/Makefile.am: new build support
* src/libvirt_macvtap.syms: list of exported symbols
* src/util/macvtap.c: empty module to not break compilation
