When assigning the new persistent definition for a transient network
(thus making it persistent) the network needs to be marked persistent
before actually atempting to assign the definition.
Until now, the network undefine API was able to undefine only inactive
networks. The restriction doesn't make sense any more so this patch
implements changing networks to transient.
When a transient network was created some of the checks weren't run on
the definition allowing to start invalid networks.
This patch splits out code to the network validation function and
re-uses that code when creating transient networks.
The network driver didn't care about config files when a network was
destroyed, just when it was undefined leaving behind files for transient
networks.
This patch splits out the cleanup code to a helper function that handles
the cleanup if the inactive network object is being removed and re-uses
this code when getting rid of inactive networks.
The hosts file was created in the network definition function. This
patch moves the place the file is being created to the point where
dnsmasq is being started.
Three FORWARD chain rules are added and two INPUT chain rules
are added when a network is started but only the FORWARD chain
rules are removed when the network is destroyed.
This was found during testing of the fix for:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868483
networkValidate was supposed to check for the existence of multiple
portgroups and report an error if this was encountered. It did, but
there were two problems:
1) even though it logged an error, it still returned success, allowing
the operation to continue.
2) It could exit the portgroup checking loop early (or possibly not
even do it once) if a vlan tag was supplied in the base network config
or one of the portgroups.
This patch fixes networkValidate to return failure in addition to
logging the error, and also changes it to not exit the portgroup
checking loop early. The logic was a bit off in the checking for vlan
anyway, and it's intertwined with fixing the early loop exit, so I
fixed that as well. Now it correctly checks for combinations where a
<virtualport> is specified in the base network def and <vlan> is given
in a portgroup, as well as the opposite (<vlan> in base network def
and <virtualport> in portgroup), and ignores the case of a disallowed
vlan when using *no* portgroup if there is a default portgroup (since
in that case there is no way to not use any portgroup).
This resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868483
virNetworkUpdate, virNetworkDefine, and virNetworkCreate all three
allow network definitions to contain multiple <portgroup> elements
with default='yes'. Only a single default portgroup should be allowed
for each network.
This patch updates networkValidate() (called by both
virNetworkCreate() and virNetworkDefine()) and
virNetworkDefUpdatePortGroup (called by virNetworkUpdate() to not
allow multiple default portgroups.
This fixes the problem reported in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868389
Previously, the dnsmasq hosts file (used for static dhcp entries, and
addnhosts file (used for additional dns host entries) were only
created/referenced on the dnsmasq commandline if there was something
to put in them at the time the network was started. Once we can update
a network definition while it's active (which is now possible with
virNetworkUpdate), this is no longer a valid strategy - if there were
0 dhcp static hosts (resulting in no reference to the hosts file on the
commandline), then one was later added, the commandline wouldn't have
linked dnsmasq up to the file, so even though we create it, dnsmasq
doesn't pay any attention.
The solution is to just always create these files and reference them
on the dnsmasq commandline (almost always, anyway). That way dnsmasq
can notice when a new entry is added at runtime (a SIGHUP is sent to
dnsmasq by virNetworkUdpate whenever a host entry is added or removed)
The exception to this is that the dhcp static hosts file isn't created
if there are no lease ranges *and* no static hosts. This is because in
this case dnsmasq won't be setup to listen for dhcp requests anyway -
in that case, if the count of dhcp hosts goes from 0 to 1, dnsmasq
will need to be restarted anyway (to get it listening on the dhcp
port). Likewise, if the dhcp hosts count goes from 1 to 0 (and there
are no dhcp ranges) we need to restart dnsmasq so that it will stop
listening on port 67. These special situations are handled in the
bridge driver's networkUpdate() by checking for ((bool)
nranges||nhosts) both before and after the update, and triggering a
dnsmasq restart if the before and after don't match.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=866364
pointed out a crash due to virNetworkObjAssignDef free'ing
network->newDef without NULLing it afterward. A fix for this is in
upstream commit b7e9202401. While the
NULLing of newDef was a legitimate fix, newDef should have already
been empty (NULL) anyway (as indicated in the comment that was deleted
by that commit).
The reason that newDef had a non-NULL value (i.e. the root cause) was
that networkStartNetwork() had failed after populating
network->newDef, but then neglected to free/NULL newDef in the
cleanup.
(A bit of background here: network->newDef should contain the
persistent config of a network when a network is active (and of course
only when it is persisten), and NULL at all other times. There is also
a network->def which should contain the persistent definition of the
network when it is inactive, and the current live state at all other
times. The idea is that you can make changes to network->newDef which
will take effect the next time the network is restarted, but won't
mess with the current state of the network (virDomainObj has a similar
pair of virDomainDefs that behave in the same fashion). Personally I
think there should be a network->live and network->config, and the
location of the persistent config should *always* be in
network->config, but that's for a later cleanup).
Since I love things to be symmetric, I created a new function called
virNetworkObjUnsetDefTransient(), which reverses the effects of
virNetworkObjSetDefTransient(). I don't really like the name of the
new function, but then I also didn't really like the name of the old
one either (it's just named that way to match a similar function in
the domain conf code).
This function really should have been taking virDevicePCIAddress*
instead of the inefficient virDevicePCIAddress (results in copying two
entire structs onto the stack rather than just two pointers), and
returning a bool true/false (not matching is not necessarily a
"failure", as a -1 return would imply, and also using "if
(!virDevicePCIAddressEqual(x, y))" to mean "if x == y" is just a bit
counterintuitive).
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.

The bridge driver implementation of virNetworkUpdate() removes and
re-adds iptables rules any time a network has an <ip>, <forward>, or
<forward>/<interface> element updated. There are some types of
networks that have those elements and yet have no iptables rules
associated with them, and unfortunately the functions that remove/add
iptables rules don't check the type of network before attempting to
remove/add the rules, sometimes leading to an erroneous failure of the
entire update operation.
Under normal circumstances I would refactor the lower level functions
to be more robust, but to avoid code churn as much as possible, I've
just added extra checks directly to networkUpdate().

Two changes are introduced in this patch:
- The first change removes ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK from
virNetDevBandwidthClear, because it was called with ignore_value
always, anyway. The function is used even when it's not necessary
to call it, just for cleanup purposes.
- The second change is added ignoring of the command's exit status,
since it may report an error even when run just as "to be sure we
clean up" function. No libvirt errors are suppresed by this.
A user on IRC had accidentally killed all of his libvirt-started
dnsmasq instances (due to a buggy dnsmasq service script in Fedora
16), and had hoped that libvirtd would notice this on restart and
reload all the dnsmasq daemons (as it does with iptables
rules). Unfortunately this was not the case - as long as the network
object had a pid registered for dnsmasq and/or radvd, it assumed that
the processes were running.
This patch takes advantage of the new utility functions in
bridge_driver.c to do a "refresh" of all radvd and dnsmasq processes
started by libvirt each time libvirtd is restarted - this function
attempts to do a SIGHUP of each existing process, and if that fails,
it restarts the process, rebuilding all the associated config files
and commandline parameters in the process. This normally has no
effect, but will be useful in solving the occasional "odd situation"
without needing to take the drastic step of destroying/re-starting the
network.
Call the network_conf function that modifies the live/persistent/both
config, then refresh/restart dnsmasq/radvd if necessary, and finally
save the config in the proper place(s).
This patch also needed to uncomment a few utility functions that were
added inside #if 0 in the previous commit (to avoid compiler errors
due to unreferenced static functions).
This patch splits the starting of dnsmasq and radvd into multiple
files, and adds new networkRefreshXX() and networkRestartXX()
functions for each. These new functions are currently commented out
because they won't be used until the next commit, and the compile options
require all static functions to be used.
networkRefreshXX() - rewrites any file-based config for dnsmasq/radvd,
and sends SIGHUP to the process to make it reread its config. If the
program isn't already running, it's just started.
networkRestartXX() - kills the given program, waits for it to exit
(see the comments in the function networkKillDaemon()), then calls
networkStartXX().
This commit is here mostly as a checkpoint to verify no change in
functional behavior after refactoring networkStartXX() functions to
fit in with these new functions.
These new functions are highly inspired by those in domain_conf.c (but
not identical), and are intended to make it simpler to update the
various combinations of live/persistent network configs.
The network driver wasn't previously as careful about the separation
between the live "status" in network->def and the persistent "config"
in network->newDef (or sometimes in network->def). This series
attempts to remedy some of that, but probably doesn't go all the way
(enough to get these functions working and enable continued work on
virNetworkUpdate though).
bridge_driver.c and test_driver.c were updated in a few places to take
advantage of the new functions and/or account for changes in argument
lists.
This patch removed the "--filterwin2k" dnsmasq command line
parameter which was unnecessary for domain specification,
possibly blocked some usage, and was command line clutter.
Gene Czarcinski <gene@czarc.net>
libvirt's network config documents that a bridge's STP "forward delay"
(called "delay" in the XML) should be specified in seconds, but
virNetDevBridgeSetSTPDelay() assumes that it is given a delay in
milliseconds (although the comment at the top of the function
incorrectly says "seconds".
This fixes the comment, and converts the delay to milliseconds before
calling virNetDevBridgeSetSTPDelay().
dnsmasq is forwarding a number of queries upstream that should not
be done. There still remains an MX query for a plain name with no
domain specified that will be forwarded is dnsmasq has --domain=xxx
--local=/xxx/ specified. This does not happen with no domain name
and --local=// ... not a libvirt problem.
BTW, thanks again to Claudio Bley!
* configure.ac, spec file: firewalld defaults to enabled if dbus is
available, otherwise is disabled. If --with_firewalld is explicitly
requested and dbus is not available, configure will fail.
* bridge_driver: add dbus filters to get the FirewallD1.Reloaded
signal and DBus.NameOwnerChanged on org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.
When these are encountered, reload all the iptables reuls of all
libvirt's virtual networks (similar to what happens when libvirtd is
restarted).
* iptables, ebtables: use firewall-cmd's direct passthrough interface
when available, otherwise use iptables and ebtables commands. This
decision is made once the first time libvirt calls
iptables/ebtables, and that decision is maintained for the life of
libvirtd.
* Note that the nwfilter part of this patch was separated out into
another patch by Stefan in V2, so that needs to be revised and
re-reviewed as well.
================
All the configure.ac and specfile changes are unchanged from Thomas'
V3.
V3 re-ran "firewall-cmd --state" every time a new rule was added,
which was extremely inefficient. V4 uses VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT to set
up a one-time initialization function.
The VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT(x) macro references a static function called
vir(Ip|Eb)OnceInit(), which will then be called the first time that
the static function vir(Ip|Eb)TablesInitialize() is called (that
function is defined for you by the macro). This is
thread-safe, so there is no chance of any race.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I've left the VIR_DEBUG messages in these two init
functions (one for iptables, on for ebtables) as VIR_WARN so that I
don't have to turn on all the other debug message just to see
these. Even if this patch doesn't need any other modification, those
messages need to be changed to VIR_DEBUG before pushing.
This one-time initialization works well. However, I've encountered
problems with testing:
1) Whenever I have enabled the firewalld service, *all* attempts to
call firewall-cmd from within libvirtd end with firewall-cmd hanging
internally somewhere. This is *not* the case if firewall-cmd returns
non-0 in response to "firewall-cmd --state" (i.e. *that* command runs
and returns to libvirt successfully.)
2) If I start libvirtd while firewalld is stopped, then start
firewalld later, this triggers libvirtd to reload its iptables rules,
however it also spits out a *ton* of complaints about deletion failing
(I suppose because firewalld has nuked all of libvirt's rules). I
guess we need to suppress those messages (which is a more annoying
problem to fix than you might think, but that's another story).
3) I noticed a few times during this long line of errors that
firewalld made a complaint about "Resource Temporarily
unavailable. Having libvirtd access iptables commands directly at the
same time as firewalld is doing so is apparently problematic.
4) In general, I'm concerned about the "set it once and never change
it" method - if firewalld is disabled at libvirtd startup, causing
libvirtd to always use iptables/ebtables directly, this won't cause
*terrible* problems, but if libvirtd decides to use firewall-cmd and
firewalld is later disabled, libvirtd will not be able to recover.

The network driver now looks for the vlan element in network and
portgroup objects, and logs an error at network define time if a vlan
is requested for a network type that doesn't support it. (Currently
vlan configuration is only supported for openvswitch networks, and
networks used to do hostdev assignment of SR-IOV VFs.)
At runtime, the three potential sources of vlan information are
examined in this order: interface, chosen portgroup, network, and the
first that is non-empty is used. Another check for valid network type
is made at this time, since the interface may have requested a vlan (a
legal thing to have in the interface config, since it's not known
until runtime if the chosen network will actually support it).
Since we must also check for domains requesting vlans for unsupported
connection types even if they are type='network', and since
networkAllocateActualDevice() is being called in exactly the correct
places, and has all of the necessary information to check, I slightly
modified the logic of that function so that interfaces that aren't
type='network' don't just return immediately. Instead, they also
perform all the same validation for supported features. Because of
this, it's not necessary to make this identical check in the other
three places that would normally require it: 1) qemu domain startup,
2) qemu device hotplug, 3) lxc domain startup.
This can be seen as a first step in consolidating network-related
functionality into the network driver, rather than having copies of
the same code spread around in multiple places; this will make it
easier to split the network parts off into a separate daemon, as we've
discussed recently.
Just as each physical device used by a network has a connections
counter, now each network has a connections counter which is
incremented once for each guest interface that connects using this
network.
The count is output in the live network XML, like this:
<network connections='20'>
...
</network>
It is read-only, and for informational purposes only - it isn't used
internally anywhere by libvirt.
A later patch will be adding a counter that will be
incremented/decremented each time an guest interface starts/stops
using a particular network. For this to work, all types of networks
need to go through a common return sequence rather than returning
early. To setup for this, a new success: label is added (when
necessary), a new error: label is added which does any cleanup
necessary only for error returns and then does goto cleanup, and early
returns are changed to goto error if it's a failure, or goto success
if it's successful. This way the intent of all the gotos is
unambiguous, and a successful return path never encounters the
"error:" label.
I want to include this count in the xml output of networks, but
calling it "connections" in the XML sounds better than "usageCount", and it
would be better if the name in the XML matched the variable name.
In a few places, usageCount was being initialized to 0, but this is
unnecessary, because VIR_ALLOC_N zero-fills everything anyway.
One of the original ideas behind allowing a <virtualport> in an
interface definition as well as in the <network> definition *and*one
or more <portgroup>s within the network, was that guest-specific
parameteres (like instanceid and interfaceid) could be given in the
interface's virtualport, and more general things (portid, managerid,
etc) could be given in the network and/or portgroup, with all the bits
brought together at guest startup time and combined into a single
virtualport to be used by the guest. This was somehow overlooked in
the implementation, though - it simply picks the "most specific"
virtualport, and uses the entire thing, with no attempt to merge in
details from the others.
This patch uses virNetDevVPortProfileMerge3() to combine the three
possible virtualports into one, then uses
virNetDevVPortProfileCheck*() to verify that the resulting virtualport
type is appropriate for the type of network, and that all the required
attributes for that type are present.
An example of usage is this: assuming a <network> definitions on host
ABC of:
<network>
<name>testA</name>
...
<virtualport type='openvswitch'/>
...
<portgroup name='engineering'>
<virtualport>
<parameters profileid='eng'/>
</virtualport>
</portgroup>
<portgroup name='sales'>
<virtualport>
<parameters profileid='sales'/>
</virtualport>
</portgroup>
</network>
and the same <network> on host DEF of:
<network>
<name>testA</name>
...
<virtualport type='802.1Qbg'>
<parameters typeid="1193047" typeidversion="2"/>
</virtualport>
...
<portgroup name='engineering'>
<virtualport>
<parameters managerid="11"/>
</virtualport>
</portgroup>
<portgroup name='sales'>
<virtualport>
<parameters managerid="55"/>
</virtualport>
</portgroup>
</network>
and a guest <interface> definition of:
<interface type='network'>
<source network='testA' portgroup='sales'/>
<virtualport>
<parameters instanceid="09b11c53-8b5c-4eeb-8f00-d84eaa0aaa4f"
interfaceid="09b11c53-8b5c-4eeb-8f00-d84eaa0aaa4f"\>
</virtualport>
...
</interface>
If the guest was started on host ABC, the <virtualport> used would be:
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='09b11c53-8b5c-4eeb-8f00-d84eaa0aaa4f'
profileid='sales'/>
</virtualport>
but if that guest was started on host DEF, the <virtualport> would be:
<virtualport type='802.1Qbg'>
<parameters instanceid="09b11c53-8b5c-4eeb-8f00-d84eaa0aaa4f"
typeid="1193047" typeidversion="2"
managerid="55"/>
</virtualport>
Additionally, if none of the involved <virtualport>s had a specified type
(this includes cases where no virtualport is given at all),
virtPortProfile is now used by 4 different types of network devices
(NETWORK, BRIDGE, DIRECT, and HOSTDEV), and it's getting cumbersome to
replicate so much code in 4 different places just because each type
has the virtPortProfile in a slightly different place. This patch puts
a single virtPortProfile in a common place (outside the type-specific
union) in both virDomainNetDef and virDomainActualNetDef, and adjusts
the parse and format code (and the few other places where it is used)
accordingly.
Note that when a <virtualport> element is found, the parse functions
verify that the interface is of a type that supports one, otherwise an
error is generated (CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED in the case of <interface>, and
INTERNAL in the case of <actual>, since the contents of <actual> are
always generated by libvirt itself).

commit 52d064f42d added
VIR_NETWORK_XML_INACTIVE in order to allow suppressing the
auto-generated list of VFs in network definitions, and a --inactive
flag to virsh net-dumpxml to take advantage of the flag. However, it
missed out on two opportunities:
1) Use INACTIVE to get the current config of the network as it
exists on disk, rather than the currently active config.
2) Add INACTIVE to the flags used for the virsh net-edit command, so
that it won't include the forward-pool interfaces that were
autogenerated, and so that a re-edit of the network prior to
restarting it will show any other edits made since the last restart
of the network. (prior to this patch, if you edited a network a 2nd
time without restarting, all of the previous edits would magically
disappear).
In order to fit with the new #define-based generic edit function in
virsh.c, a new function vshNetworkGetXMLDesc() was added. This
function first tries to call virNetworkGetXMLDesc with the INACTIVE
flag added, then retries without if the first attempt fails (in the
manner expected when the server doesn't support it).

This offers a number of advantages:
* Allows sharing a home directory between different machines, or
sessions (eg. using NFS)
* Cleanly separates cache, runtime (eg. sockets), or app data from
user settings
* Supports performing smart or selective migration of settings
between different OS versions
* Supports reseting settings without breaking things
* Makes it possible to clear cache data to make room when the disk
is filling up
* Allows us to write a robust and efficient backup solution
* Allows an admin flexibility to change where data and settings are stored
* Dramatically reduces the complexity and incoherence of the
system for administrators
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 ...).
