The network XML is updated in the following ways:
1) The <forward> element can now contain a list of forward interfaces:
<forward .... >
<interface dev='eth10'/>
<interface dev='eth11'/>
<interface dev='eth12'/>
<interface dev='eth13'/>
</forward>
The first of these takes the place of the dev attribute that is
normally in <forward> - when defining a network you can specify
either one, and on output both will be present. If you specify
both on input, they must match.
2) In addition to forward modes of 'nat' and 'route', these new modes
are supported:
private, passthrough, vepa - when this network is referenced by a
domain's interface, it will have the same effect as if the
interface had been defined as type='direct', e.g.:
<interface type='direct'>
<source mode='${mode}' dev='${dev}>
...
</interface>
where ${mode} is one of the three new modes, and ${dev} is an interface
selected from the list given in <forward>.
bridge - if a <forward> dev (or multiple devs) is defined, and
forward mode is 'bridge' this is just like the modes 'private',
'passthrough', and 'vepa' above. If there is no forward dev
specified but a bridge name is given (e.g. "<bridge
name='br0'/>"), then guest interfaces using this network will use
libvirt's "host bridge" mode, equivalent to this:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='${bridge-name}'/>
...
</interface>
3) A network can have multiple <portgroup> elements, which may be
selected by the guest interface definition (by adding
"portgroup='${name}'" in the <source> element along with the
network name). Currently a portgroup can only contain a
virtportprofile, but the intent is that other configuration items
may be put there int the future (e.g. bandwidth config). When
building a guest's interface, if the <interface> XML itself has no
virtportprofile, and if the requested network has a portgroup with
a name matching the name given in the <interface> (or if one of the
network's portgroups is marked with the "default='yes'" attribute),
the virtportprofile from that portgroup will be used by the
interface.
4) A network can have a virtportprofile defined at the top level,
which will be used by a guest interface when connecting in one of
the 'direct' modes if the guest interface XML itself hasn't
specified any virtportprofile, and if there are also no matching
portgroups on the network.
The struct A {} A; construct triggers a linker error on OSX about
duplicate symbols. This also differs from the common struct style.
Switch to common style to fix this.

This commit introduces names definition for the DNS hosts file using
the following syntax:
<dns>
<host ip="192.168.1.1">
<name>alias1</name>
<name>alias2</name>
</host>
</dns>
Some of the improvements and fixes were done by Laine Stump so
I'm putting him into the SOB clause again ;-)

This commit introduces the <dns> element and <txt> record for the
virtual DNS network. The DNS TXT record can be defined using following
syntax in the network XML file:
<dns>
<txt name="example" value="example value" />
</dns>
Also, the Relax-NG scheme has been altered to allow the texts without
spaces only for the name element and some nitpicks about memory
free'ing have been fixed by Laine so therefore I'm adding Laine to the
SOB clause ;-)

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).

Running an instance of the router advertisement daemon (radvd) allows
guests using the virtual network to automatically acquire an IPv6
address and default route. Note that acquiring an address only works
for networks with a prefix length of exactly 64 - radvd is still run
in other circumstances, and still advertises routes, but autoconf will
not work because it requires exactly 64 bits of address info from the
network prefix.
This patch avoids a race condition with the pidfile by manually
daemonizing radvd rather than allowing it to daemonize itself, then
creating our own pidfile (in addition to radvd's own file, which is
unnecessary, but there is no way to tell radvd to not create it). This
is accomplished by exec'ing it with "--debug 1" in the commandline,
and using virCommand's features to fork, create a pidfile, and detach
from the newly forked process.
This commit adds support for IPv6 parsing and formatting to the
virtual network XML parser, including moving around data definitions
to allow for multiple <ip> elements on a single network, but only
changes the consumers of this API to accommodate for the changes in
API/structure, not to add any actual IPv6 functionality. That will
come in a later patch - this patch attempts to maintain the same final
functionality in both drivers that use the network XML parser - vbox
and "bridge" (the Linux bridge-based driver used by the qemu
hypervisor driver).
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Add new private API functions.
* src/conf/network_conf.[ch]: Change C data structure and
parsing/formatting.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Update to use new parser/formatter.
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: update to use new parser/formatter
* docs/schemas/network.rng: changes to the schema -
* there can now be more than one <ip> element.
* ip address is now an ip-addr (ipv4 or ipv6) rather than ipv4-addr
* new optional "prefix" attribute that can be used in place of "netmask"
* new optional "family" attribute - "ipv4" or "ipv6"
(will default to ipv4)
* define data types for the above
* tests/networkxml2xml(in|out)/nat-network.xml: add multiple <ip> elements
(including IPv6) to a single network definition to verify they are being
correctly parsed and formatted.
Later patches will add the possibility to define a network's netmask
as a prefix (0-32, or 0-128 in the case of IPv6). To make it easier to
deal with definition of both kinds (prefix or netmask), add two new
functions:
virNetworkDefNetmask: return a copy of the netmask into a
virSocketAddr. If no netmask was specified in the XML, create a
default netmask based on the network class of the virNetworkDef's IP
address.
virNetworkDefPrefix: return the netmask as numeric prefix (or the
default prefix for the network class of the virNetworkDef's IP
address, if no netmask was specified in the XML)
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.
The network driver is not doing correct checking for
duplicate UUID/name values. This introduces a new method
virNetworkObjIsDuplicate, based on the previously
written virDomainObjIsDuplicate.
* src/conf/network_conf.c, src/conf/network_conf.c,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virNetworkObjIsDuplicate,
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Call virNetworkObjIsDuplicate
for checking uniqueness of uuid/names
The virConnectPtr is no longer required for error reporting since
that is recorded in a thread local. Remove use of virConnectPtr
from all APIs in network_conf.{h,c} and update all callers to
match
The 'int virInterfaceIsActive()' method was directly returning the
value of the 'int active:1' bitfield in virIntefaceDefPtr. A bitfield
with a signed integer, will hold the values 0 and -1, not 0 and +1
as might be expected. This meant that virInterfaceIsActive() was
always returning -1 when the interface was active, not +1 & thus all
callers thought an error had occurred. To protect against this kind
of mistake again, change all bitfields to be unsigned ints
* daemon/libvirtd.h, src/conf/domain_conf.h, src/conf/interface_conf.h,
src/conf/network_conf.h: Change bitfields to unsigned int.
* src/conf/network_conf.h: extend the structure to store the range
* src/conf/network_conf.c: before adding a range parse the IP addresses
do some checking and keep the size
Rename virDomainIsActive to virDomainObjIsActive, and
virInterfaceIsActive to virInterfaceObjIsActive and finally
virNetworkIsActive to virNetworkObjIsActive.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h,
src/conf/interface_conf.h, src/conf/network_conf.c,
src/conf/network_conf.h, src/lxc/lxc_driver.c,

This patch adds an optional attribute to the <bootp> tag, that
allows to specify a TFTP server address other than the address of
the DHCP server itself.
This can be used to forward the BOOTP settings of the host down to the
guest. This is something that configurations such as Xen's default
network achieve naturally, but must be done manually for NAT.
* docs/formatnetwork.html.in: Document new attribute.
* docs/schemas/network.rng: Add it to schema.
* src/conf/network_conf.h: Add it to struct.
* src/conf/network_conf.c: Add it to parser and pretty printer.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Put it in the dnsmasq command line.
* tests/networkxml2xmlin/netboot-proxy-network.xml
tests/networkxml2xmlout/netboot-proxy-network.xml
tests/networkxml2xmltest.c: add new tests
Currently, libvirtd will start a dnsmasq process for the virtual
network, but (aside from killing the dnsmasq process and replacing it),
there's no way to define tftp boot options.
This change introduces the appropriate tags to the dhcp configuration:
<network>
<name>default</name>
<bridge name="virbr%d" />
<forward/>
<ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
<tftp root="/var/lib/tftproot" />
<dhcp>
<range start="192.168.122.2" end="192.168.122.254" />
<bootp file="pxeboot.img"/>
</dhcp>
</ip>
</network>
When the attributes are present, these are passed to the
arguments to dnsmasq:
dnsmasq [...] --enable-tftp --tftp-root /srv/tftp --dhcp-boot pxeboot.img
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
from <tftp /> from <bootp />
At present, only local tftp servers are supported (ie, dnsmasq runs as
the tftp server), but we could improve this in future by adding a
server= attribute.
