These functions work only for IPv4, becasue IPv6 doesn't have the same
concept of "broadcast address" as IPv4. They merely OR the inverse of
the netmask with the given host address, thus turning on all the host
bits.
virSocketPrefixToNetmask: Given a 'prefix', which is the number of 1
bits in a netmask, fill in a virSocketAddr object with a netmask as an
IP address (IPv6 or IPv4).
virSocketAddrMask: Mask off the host bits in one virSocketAddr
according to the netmask in another virSocketAddr.
virSocketAddrMaskByPrefix, Mask off the host bits in a virSocketAddr
according to a prefix (number of 1 bits in netmask).
VIR_SOCKET_FAMILY: return the family of a virSocketAddr
The virSocketParse method was not doing any error reporting
which meant the true cause of the problem was lost. Remove
all error reporting from callers, and push it into virSocketParse
* src/util/network.c: Add error reporting to virSocketParse
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/network_conf.c,
src/network/bridge_driver.c: Remove error reporting in
callers of virSocketParse
The getnameinfo() function is more flexible than inet_ntop()
avoiding the need to if/else the code based on socket family.
Also make it support UNIX socket addrs and allow inclusion
of a port (service) address. Finally do proper error reporting
via normal APIs.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/nwfilter/nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.c,
src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Fix error handling with virSocketFormat
* src/util/network.c: Rewrite virSocketFormat to use getnameinfo
and cope with UNIX socket addrs.
There was a typo in the IPv6 path of virSocketCheckNetmask which
caused it to never execute.
* src/util/network.c: s/AF_INET/AF_INET6/ in virSocketCheckNetmask
The virSocketParseAddr function was accepting any AF_* constant
and using that to set the ai_flags field in struct addrinfo.
This is invalid, since address families must go in the ai_family
field of the struct.
* src/util/network.c: Fix handling of address family
* src/conf/network_conf.c, src/network/bridge_driver.c: Pass
AF_UNSPEC instead of relying on it being 0.
Some operations on socket addresses need to know the length of
the sockaddr struct for the particular address family. This
info was being discarded when passing around virSocketAddr
instances. Turn it from a union into a struct containing
union+socklen_t fields, so length is always kept around.
* src/util/network.h: Add socklen_t field to virSocketAddr
* src/util/network.c, src/network/bridge_driver.c,
src/conf/domain_conf.c: Update to take account of new
struct definition.
That way it can be used to verify a numeric address without storing
the details
* src/util/network.c: change virSocketParseAddr to allow a null @addr
parameter
git grep found 12 of the former but 100 of the latter in src/.
* src/remote/remote_driver.c (initialise_gnutls): Rename...
(initialize_gnutls): ...to this.
(doRemoteOpen): Adjust caller.
* src/xen/xen_driver.c (xenUnifiedOpen): Adjust output string.
* src/util/network.c: Adjust comments.
Suggested by Matthias Bolte.
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.
Fix this warning, there is no need to use an intermediate,
different array pointer.
network.c: In function 'getIPv6Addr':
network.c:50: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
* src/util/network.c: avoid an intermediary pointer cast
__in6_u.__u6_addr16 is the private name for this struct member,
s6_addr16 is the public one
* src/util/network.c: dont use the private field, but the public one.
