conf: new network bridge device attribute macTableManager The macTableManager attribute of a network's bridge subelement tells libvirt how the bridge's MAC address table (used to determine the egress port for packets) is managed. In the default mode, "kernel", management is left to the kernel, which usually determines entries in part by turning on promiscuous mode on all ports of the bridge, flooding packets to all ports when the correct destination is unknown, and adding/removing entries to the fdb as it sees incoming traffic from particular MAC addresses. In "libvirt" mode, libvirt turns off learning and flooding on all the bridge ports connected to guest domain interfaces, and adds/removes entries according to the MAC addresses in the domain interface configurations. A side effect of turning off learning and unicast_flood on the ports of a bridge is that (with Linux kernel 3.17 and newer), the kernel can automatically turn off promiscuous mode on one or more of the bridge's ports (usually only the one interface that is used to connect the bridge to the physical network). The result is better performance (because packets aren't being flooded to all ports, and can be dropped earlier when they are of no interest) and slightly better security (a guest can still send out packets with a spoofed source MAC address, but will only receive traffic intended for the guest interface's configured MAC address). The attribute looks like this in the configuration: <network> <name>test</name> <bridge name='br0' macTableManager='libvirt'/> ... This patch only adds the config knob, documentation, and test cases. The functionality behind this knob is added in later patches.

Give each virtual network bridge its own fixed MAC address This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609463 The problem was that, since a bridge always acquires the MAC address of the connected interface with the numerically lowest MAC, as guests are started and stopped, it was possible for the MAC address to change over time, and this change in the network was being detected by Windows 7 (it sees the MAC of the default route change), so on each reboot it would bring up a dialog box asking about this "new network". The solution is to create a dummy tap interface with a MAC guaranteed to be lower than any guest interface's MAC, and attach that tap to the bridge as soon as it's created. Since all guest MAC addresses start with 0xFE, we can just generate a MAC with the standard "0x52, 0x54, 0" prefix, and it's guaranteed to always win (physical interfaces are never connected to these bridges, so we don't need to worry about competing numerically with them). Note that the dummy tap is never set to IFF_UP state - that's not necessary in order for the bridge to take its MAC, and not setting it to UP eliminates the clutter of having an (eg) "virbr0-nic" displayed in the output of the ifconfig command. I chose to not auto-generate the MAC address in the network XML parser, as there are likely to be consumers of that API that don't need or want to have a MAC address associated with the bridge. Instead, in bridge_driver.c when the network is being defined, if there is no MAC, one is generated. To account for virtual network configs that already exist when upgrading from an older version of libvirt, I've added a %post script to the specfile that searches for all network definitions in both the config directory (/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks) and the state directory (/var/lib/libvirt/network) that are missing a mac address, generates a random address, and adds it to the config (and a matching address to the state file, if there is one). docs/formatnetwork.html.in: document <mac address.../> docs/schemas/network.rng: add nac address to schema libvirt.spec.in: %post script to update existing networks src/conf/network_conf.[ch]: parse and format <mac address.../> src/libvirt_private.syms: export a couple private symbols we need src/network/bridge_driver.c: auto-generate mac address when needed, create dummy interface if mac address is present. tests/networkxml2xmlin/isolated-network.xml tests/networkxml2xmlin/routed-network.xml tests/networkxml2xmlout/isolated-network.xml tests/networkxml2xmlout/routed-network.xml: add mac address to some tests

Support for static routes on a virtual bridge network: static route support for <network> This patch adds the <route> subelement of <network> to define a static route. the address and prefix (or netmask) attribute identify the destination network, and the gateway attribute specifies the next hop address (which must be directly reachable from the containing <network>) which is to receive the packets destined for "address/(prefix|netmask)". These attributes are translated into an "ip route add" command that is executed when the network is started. The command used is of the following form: ip route add <address>/<prefix> via <gateway> \ dev <virbr-bridge> proto static metric <metric> Tests are done to validate that the input data are correct. For example, for a static route ip definition, the address must be a network address and not a host address. Additional checks are added to ensure that the specified gateway is directly reachable via this network (i.e. that the gateway IP address is in the same subnet as one of the IP's defined for the network). prefix='0' is supported for both family='ipv4' address='0.0.0.0' netmask='0.0.0.0' or prefix='0', and for family='ipv6' address='::', prefix=0', although care should be taken to not override a desired system default route. Anytime an attempt is made to define a static route which *exactly* duplicates an existing static route (for example, address=::, prefix=0, metric=1), the following error message will be sent to syslog: RTNETLINK answers: File exists This can be overridden by decreasing the metric value for the route that should be preferred, or increasing the metric for the route that shouldn't be preferred (and is thus in place only in anticipation that the preferred route may be removed in the future). Caution should be used when manipulating route metrics, especially for a default route. Note: The use of the command-line interface should be replaced by direct use of libnl so that error conditions can be handled better. But, that is being left as an exercise for another day.

Support for static routes on a virtual bridge network: static route support for <network> This patch adds the <route> subelement of <network> to define a static route. the address and prefix (or netmask) attribute identify the destination network, and the gateway attribute specifies the next hop address (which must be directly reachable from the containing <network>) which is to receive the packets destined for "address/(prefix|netmask)". These attributes are translated into an "ip route add" command that is executed when the network is started. The command used is of the following form: ip route add <address>/<prefix> via <gateway> \ dev <virbr-bridge> proto static metric <metric> Tests are done to validate that the input data are correct. For example, for a static route ip definition, the address must be a network address and not a host address. Additional checks are added to ensure that the specified gateway is directly reachable via this network (i.e. that the gateway IP address is in the same subnet as one of the IP's defined for the network). prefix='0' is supported for both family='ipv4' address='0.0.0.0' netmask='0.0.0.0' or prefix='0', and for family='ipv6' address='::', prefix=0', although care should be taken to not override a desired system default route. Anytime an attempt is made to define a static route which *exactly* duplicates an existing static route (for example, address=::, prefix=0, metric=1), the following error message will be sent to syslog: RTNETLINK answers: File exists This can be overridden by decreasing the metric value for the route that should be preferred, or increasing the metric for the route that shouldn't be preferred (and is thus in place only in anticipation that the preferred route may be removed in the future). Caution should be used when manipulating route metrics, especially for a default route. Note: The use of the command-line interface should be replaced by direct use of libnl so that error conditions can be handled better. But, that is being left as an exercise for another day.
