The original version of these functions would modify the address sent
in, meaning that the caller would usually need to copy the address
first. This change makes the original a const, and puts the resulting
masked address into a new arg (which could point to the same
virSocketAddr as the original, if the caller really wants to modify
it).
This also makes the API consistent with virSocketAddrBroadcast[ByPrefix].
All of the iptables functions eventually call down to a single
bottom-level function, and fortunately, ip6tables syntax (for all the
args that we use) is identical to iptables format (except the
addresses), so all we need to do is:
1) Get an address family down to the lowest level function in each
case, either implied through an address, or explicitly when no
address is in the parameter list, and
2) At the lowest level, just decide whether to call "iptables" or
"ip6tables" based on the family.
The location of the ip6tables binary is determined at build time by
autoconf. If a particular target system happens to not have ip6tables
installed, any attempts to run it will generate an error, but that
won't happen unless someone tries to define an IPv6 address for a
network. This is identical behavior to IPv4 addresses and iptables.
IPv6 will use prefix exclusively, and IPv4 will also optionally be
able to use it, and the iptables functions really need a prefix
anyway, so use the new virNetworkDefPrefix() function to send prefixes
into iptables functions instead of netmasks.
Also, in a couple places where a netmask is actually needed, use the
new private API function for it rather than getting it directly. This
will allow for cases where no netmask or prefix is specified (it
returns the default for the current class of network.)
This proof of concept shows how two existing uses of virExec
and virRun can be ported to the new virCommand APIs, and how
much simpler the code becomes
The network address was being set to 192.168.122.0 instead
of 192.168.122.0/24. Fix this by removing the unneccessary
'network' field from virNetworkDef and just pass the
network address and netmask into the iptables APIs directly.
* src/conf/network_conf.h, src/conf/network_conf.c: Remove
the 'network' field from virNEtworkDef.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Update for iptables API changes
* src/util/iptables.c, src/util/iptables.h: Require the
network address + netmask pair to be passed in
Instead of storing the IP address string in virNetwork related
structs, store the parsed virSocketAddr. This will make it
easier to add IPv6 support in the future, by letting driver
code directly check what address family is present
* src/conf/network_conf.c, src/conf/network_conf.h,
src/network/bridge_driver.c: Convert to use virSocketAddr
in virNetwork, instead of char *.
* src/util/bridge.c, src/util/bridge.h,
src/util/dnsmasq.c, src/util/dnsmasq.h,
src/util/iptables.c, src/util/iptables.h: Convert to
take a virSocketAddr instead of char * for any IP
address parameters
* src/util/network.h: Add macros to determine if an address
is set, and what address family is set.
This patch attempts to take advantage of a newly added netfilter
module to correct for a problem with some guest DHCP client
implementations when used in conjunction with a DHCP server run on the
host systems with packet checksum offloading enabled.
The problem is that, when the guest uses a RAW socket to read the DHCP
response packets, the checksum hasn't yet been fixed by the IP stack,
so it is incorrect.
The fix implemented here is to add a rule to the POSTROUTING chain of
the mangle table in iptables that fixes up the checksum for packets on
the virtual network's bridge that are destined for the bootpc port (ie
"dhcpc", ie port 68) port on the guest.
Only very new versions of iptables will have this support (it will be
in the next upstream release), so a failure to add this rule only
results in a warning message. The iptables patch is here:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/58525/
A corresponding kernel module patch is also required (the backend of
the iptables patch) and that will be in the next release of the
kernel.
IPtables will seek to preserve the source port unchanged when
doing masquerading, if possible. NFS has a pseudo-security
option where it checks for the source port <= 1023 before
allowing a mount request. If an admin has used this to make the
host OS trusted for mounts, the default iptables behaviour will
potentially allow NAT'd guests access too. This needs to be
stopped.
With this change, the iptables -t nat -L -n -v rules for the
default network will be
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT 95 packets, 9163 bytes)

We don't use this method of reloading rules anymore, so we can just
kill the code.
This simplifies things a lot because we no longer need to keep a
table of the rules we've added.
* src/util/iptables.c: kill iptablesReloadRules()
Long ago we tried to use Fedora's lokkit utility in order to register
our iptables rules so that 'service iptables restart' would
automatically load our rules.
There was one fatal flaw - if the user had configured iptables without
lokkit, then we would clobber that configuration by running lokkit.
We quickly disabled lokkit support, but never removed it. Let's do
that now.
The 'my virtual network stops working when I restart iptables' still
remains. For all the background on this saga, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/227011
* src/util/iptables.c: remove lokkit support
* configure.in: remove --enable-lokkit
* libvirt.spec.in: remove the dirs used only for saving rules for lokkit
* src/Makefile.am: ditto
* src/libvirt_private.syms, src/network/bridge_driver.c,
src/util/iptables.h: remove references to iptablesSaveRules
* src/internal.h (ATTRIBUTE_SENTINEL): New, it's a ggc feature and
protected as such
* src/util/buf.c (virBufferStrcat): Use it.
* src/util/ebtables.c (ebtablesAddRemoveRule): Use it.
* src/util/iptables.c (iptableAddRemoveRule: Use it.
* src/util/qparams.h (new_qparam_set, append_qparams): Use it.
* docs/apibuild.py: avoid breaking the API generator with that new
internal keyword macro
