Currently, kernel supports up to 8 queues for a multiqueue tap device.
However, if user tries to enter a huge number (e.g. one million) the tap
allocation fails, as expected. But what is not expected is the log full
of warnings:
warning : virFileClose:83 : Tried to close invalid fd 0
The problem is, upon error we iterate over an array of FDs (handlers to
queues) and VIR_FORCE_CLOSE() over each item. However, the array is
pre-filled with zeros. Hence, we repeatedly close stdin. Ouch.
But there's more. The queues allocation is done in virNetDevTapCreate()
which cleans up the FDs in case of error. Then, its caller, the
virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort() iterates over the FD array and tries to
close them too. And so does qemuNetworkIfaceConnect() and
qemuBuildInterfaceCommandLine().
Convert the type of loop iterators named 'i', 'j', k',
'ii', 'jj', 'kk', to be 'size_t' instead of 'int' or
'unsigned int', also santizing 'ii', 'jj', 'kk' to use
the normal 'i', 'j', 'k' naming

In my previous patches I enabled the IFF_MULTI_QUEUE flag every
time the user requested multiqueue TAP device. However, this
works only at runtime. During build time the flag may be
undeclared.
In order to learn libvirt multiqueue several things must be done:
1) The '/dev/net/tun' device needs to be opened multiple times with
IFF_MULTI_QUEUE flag passed to ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFF, &ifr);
2) Similarly, '/dev/vhost-net' must be opened as many times as in 1)
in order to keep 1:1 ratio recommended by qemu and kernel folks.
3) The command line construction code needs to switch from 'fd=X' to
'fds=X:Y:...:Z' and from 'vhostfd=X' to 'vhostfds=X:Y:...:Z'.
4) The monitor handling code needs to learn to pass multiple FDs.
The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
These fixes solve a compilation failure on FreeBSD:

I hit this problem recently when trying to create a bridge with an IPv6
address on a 3.2 kernel: dnsmasq (and, further, radvd) would not bind to
the given address, waiting 20s and then giving up with -EADDRNOTAVAIL
(resp. exiting immediately with "error parsing or activating the config
file", without libvirt noticing it, BTW). This can be reproduced with (I
think) any kernel >= 2.6.39 and the following XML (to be used with
"virsh net-create"):
<network>
<name>test-bridge</name>
<bridge name='testbr0' />
<ip family='ipv6' address='fd00::1' prefix='64'>
</ip>
</network>
(it happens even when you have an IPv4, too)
The problem is that since commit [1] (which, ironically, was made to
“help IPv6 autoconfiguration”) the linux bridge code makes bridges
behave like “real” devices regarding carrier detection. This makes the
bridges created by libvirt, which are started without any up devices,
stay with the NO-CARRIER flag set, and thus prevents DAD (Duplicate
address detection) from happening, thus letting the IPv6 address flagged
as “tentative”. Such addresses cannot be bound to (see RFC 2462), so
dnsmasq fails binding to it (for radvd, it detects that "interface XXX
is not RUNNING", thus that "interface XXX does not exist, ignoring the
interface" (sic)). It seems that this behavior was enhanced somehow with
commit [2] by avoiding setting NO-CARRIER on empty bridges, but I
couldn't reproduce this behavior on my kernel. Anyway, with the “dummy
tap to set MAC address” trick, this wouldn't work.
To fix this, the idea is to get the bridge's attached device to be up so
that DAD can happen (deactivating DAD altogether is not a good idea, I
think). Currently, libvirt creates a dummy TAP device to set the MAC
address of the bridge, keeping it down. But even if we set this device
up, it is not RUNNING as soon as the tap file descriptor attached to it
is closed, thus still preventing DAD. So, we must modify the API a bit,
so that we can get the fd, keep the tap device persistent, run the
daemons, and close it after DAD has taken place. After that, the bridge
will be flagged NO-CARRIER again, but the daemons will be running, even
if not happy about the device's state (but we don't really care about
the bridge's daemons doing anything when no up interface is connected to
it).
Other solutions that I envisioned were:
* Keeping the *-nic interface up: this would waste an fd for each
bridge during all its life. May be acceptable, I don't really
know.
* Stop using the dummy tap trick, and set the MAC address directly
on the bridge: it is possible since quite some time it seems,
even if then there is the problem of the bridge not being
RUNNING when empty, contrary to what [2] says, so this will need
fixing (and this fix only happened in 3.1, so it wouldn't work
for 2.6.39)
* Using the --interface option of dnsmasq, but I saw somewhere
that it's not used by libvirt for backward compatibility. I am
not sure this would solve this problem, though, as I don't know
how dnsmasq binds itself to it with this option.
This is why this patch does what's described earlier.
This patch also makes radvd start even if the interface is
“missing” (i.e. it is not RUNNING), as it daemonizes before binding to
it, and thus sometimes does it after the interface has been brought down
by us (by closing the tap fd), and then originally stops. This also
makes it stop yelling about it in the logs when the interface is down at
a later time.

This patch is in response to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=798467
If a guest's tap device is created using the same MAC address the
guest uses for its own network card (which connects to the tap
device), the Linux kernel will log the following message and traffic
will not pass:
kernel: vnet9: received packet with own address as source address
This patch disallows MAC addresses with a first byte of 0xFE, but only in
the case that the MAC address is used for a guest interface that's
connected by way of a standard tap device. (In other words, the
validation is done at runtime at the same place the MAC address is
modified for the tap device, rather than when mac address is parsed,
the idea being that it is then we know for sure the address will be
problematic.)
This patch will allow OpenFlow controllers to identify which interface
belongs to a particular VM by using the Domain UUID.
ovs-vsctl get Interface vnet0 external_ids
{attached-mac="52:54:00:8C:55:2C", iface-id="83ce45d6-3639-096e-ab3c-21f66a05f7fa", iface-status=active, vm-id="142a90a7-0acc-ab92-511c-586f12da8851"}
V2 changes:
Replaced vm-uuid with vm-id. There was a discussion in Open vSwitch
mailinglist that we should stick with the same DB key postfixes for the
sake of consistency (e.g iface-id, vm-id ...).
With an additional new bool added to determine whether or not to
discourage the use of the supplied MAC address by the bridge itself,
virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort had three booleans (well, 2 bools and
an int used as a bool) in the arg list, which made it increasingly
difficult to follow what was going on. This patch combines those three
into a single flags arg, which not only shortens the arg list, but
makes it more self-documenting.
When a tap device for a domain is created and attached to a bridge,
the first byte of the tap device MAC address is set to 0xFE, while the
rest is set to match the MAC address that will be presented to the
guest as its network device MAC address. Setting this high value in
the tap's MAC address discourages the bridge from using the tap
device's MAC address as the bridge's own MAC address (Linux bridges
always take on the lowest numbered MAC address of all attached devices
as their own).
In one case within libvirt, a tap device is created and attached to
the bridge with the intent that its MAC address be taken on by the
bridge as its own (this is used to assure that the bridge has a fixed
MAC address to prevent network outages created by the bridge MAC
address "flapping" as guests are started and stopped). In this case,
the first byte of the mac address is *not* altered to 0xFE.
In the current code, callers to virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort each
make the MAC address modification themselves before calling, which
leads to code duplication, and also prevents lower level functions
from knowing the real MAC address being used by the guest. The problem
here is that openvswitch bridges must be informed about this MAC
address, or they will be unable to pass traffic to/from the guest.
This patch centralizes the location of the MAC address "0xFE fixup"
into virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort(), meaning 1) callers of this
function no longer need the extra strange bit of code, and 2)
bitNetDevTapCreateBridgeInPort itself now is called with the guest's
unaltered MAC address, and can pass it on, unmodified, to
virNetDevOpenvswitchAddPort.
There is no other behavioral change created by this patch.
This patch allows libvirt to add interfaces to already
existing Open vSwitch bridges. The following syntax in
domain XML file can be used:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'/>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
or if libvirt should auto-generate the interfaceid use
following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
It is also possible to pass an optional profileid. To do that
use following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<mac address='00:55:1a:65:a2:8d'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'
profileid='test-profile'/>
</virtualport>
</interface>
To create Open vSwitch bridge install Open vSwitch and
run the following command:
