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:
ovs-vsctl add-br ovsbr

If a system has 64 or more VF's, it is quite tedious to mention each VF
in the interface pool.
The following modification will implicitly create an interface pool from
the SR-IOV PF.
Hi,
this is the fifth version of my SRV record for DNSMasq patch rebased
for the current codebase to the bridge driver and libvirt XML file to
include support for the SRV records in the DNS. The syntax is based on
DNSMasq man page and tests for both xml2xml and xml2argv were added as
well. There are some things written a better way in comparison with
version 4, mainly there's no hack in tests/networkxml2argvtest.c and
also the xPath context is changed to use a simpler query using the
virXPathInt() function relative to the current node.
Also, the patch is also fixing the networkxml2argv test to pass both
checks, i.e. both unit tests and also syntax check.
Please review,
Michal

This patch addresses https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=760442
When a network has any forward type other than route, nat or none, the
network configuration should be done completely external to libvirt -
libvirt only uses these types to allow configuring guests in a manner
that isn't tied to a specific host (all the host-specific information,
in particular interface names, port profile data, and bandwidth
configuration is in the network definition, and the guest
configuration only references it).
Due to a bug in the bridge network driver, libvirt was adding iptables
rules for networks with forward type='bridge' etc. any time libvirtd
was restarted while one of these networks was active.
This patch eliminates that error by only "reloading" iptables rules if
forward type is route, nat, or none.
Only one IPv4 DHCP definition is supported. Originally the code checked
for a multiple definition and returned an error, but the new domain
definition was already added to networks. This patch moves the check
before the newly defined network is added to active networks.
*src/network/bridge_driver.c: networkDefine(): - move multiple IPv4
addresses check before
definition is used.

steps to reproduce:
1. having a network xml file(named default.xml) like this one:
<network>
<name>default</name>
<uuid>c5322c4c-81d0-4985-a363-ad6389780d89</uuid>
<bridge name="virbr0" />
<forward/>
<ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
<dhcp>
<range start="192.168.122.2" end="192.168.122.254" />
</dhcp>
</ip>
</network>
in /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/, and mark it as autostart:
$ ls -l /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Oct 12 14:02 default.xml -> ../default.xml
2. start libvirtd and the device virbr0 is not automatically up.
The reason is that the function virNetDevExists is now returns 1 if
the device exists, comparing to the former one returns 0 if the device
exists. But with only this fix will cause a segmentation fault(the same
steps as above) that is fixed by the second chunk of code.
The socket address APIs in src/util/network.h either take the
form virSocketAddrXXX, virSocketXXX or virSocketXXXAddr.
Sanitize this so everything is virSocketAddrXXXX, and ensure
that the virSocketAddr parameter is always the first one.
* src/util/network.c, src/util/network.h: Santize socket
address API naming

src/util/dnsmasq.c, src/util/iptables.c,
src/util/virnetdev.c, src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: Update for
API renaming
Following the renaming of the bridge management APIs, we can now
split the source file into 3 corresponding pieces
* src/util/virnetdev.c: APIs for any type of network interface
* src/util/virnetdevbridge.c: APIs for bridge interfaces
* src/util/virnetdevtap.c: APIs for TAP interfaces
* src/util/virnetdev.c, src/util/virnetdev.h,
src/util/virnetdevbridge.c, src/util/virnetdevbridge.h,
src/util/virnetdevtap.c, src/util/virnetdevtap.h: Copied

src/qemu/qemu_conf.h, src/uml/uml_conf.c, src/uml/uml_conf.h,
src/uml/uml_driver.c: Update #include directives
The existing brXXX APIs in src/util/bridge.h are renamed to
follow one of three different conventions
- virNetDevXXX - operations for any type of interface
- virNetDevBridgeXXX - operations for bridge interfaces
- virNetDevTapXXX - operations for tap interfaces
* src/util/bridge.h, src/util/bridge.c: Rename all APIs
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c, src/network/bridge_driver.c,
src/qemu/qemu_command.c, src/uml/uml_conf.c,
src/uml/uml_driver.c: Update for API renaming
Currently every caller of the brXXX APIs has to store the returned
errno value and then raise an error message. This results in
inconsistent error messages across drivers, additional burden on
the callers and makes the error reporting inaccurate since it is
hard to distinguish different scenarios from 1 errno value.
* src/util/bridge.c: Raise errors instead of returning errnos
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c, src/network/bridge_driver.c,
src/qemu/qemu_command.c, src/uml/uml_conf.c,
src/uml/uml_driver.c: Remove error reporting code
The bridge management APIs in src/util/bridge.c require a brControl
object to be passed around. This holds the file descriptor for the
control socket. This extra object complicates use of the API for
only a minor efficiency gain, which is in turn entirely offset by
the need to fork/exec the brctl command for STP configuration.
This patch removes the 'brControl' object entirely, instead opening
the control socket & closing it again within the scope of each method.
The parameter names for the APIs are also made to consistently use
'brname' for bridge device name, and 'ifname' for an interface
device name. Finally annotations are added for non-NULL parameters
and return check validation
* src/util/bridge.c, src/util/bridge.h: Remove brControl object
and update API parameter names & annotations.
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c, src/network/bridge_driver.c,
src/uml/uml_conf.h, src/uml/uml_conf.c, src/uml/uml_driver.c,
src/qemu/qemu_command.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h,
src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Remove reference to 'brControl' object
This patch is a fix for:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743176
which was discovered by Dan Berrange while making bandwidth
configuration work for LXC guests.
Background: Although virtportprofile data from a network portgroup is
only applicable for direct mode interfaces, the code that copies
bandwidth data from the portgroup was also only being executed in the
case of direct mode interfaces. The result was that interfaces using
traditional virtual networks (forward mode='nat|route|none'), and
those using a host bridge for forwarding, would not pick up bandwidth
data from a portgroup defined in the network.
This patch moves that code outside the conditional, so that bandwidth
information is *alway* copied from the appropriate portgroup (unless
the <interface> definition itself already has bandwidth information,
which would take precedence over what's in the portgroup anyway).
Code altered so that it is consistent with the associated comment. The
'autoconf' variable is forced to zero.

In some cases the caller of virPidFileRead might like extra checks
to determine whether the pid just read is really the one they are
expecting. This adds virPidFileReadIfAlive which will check whether

When "defining" a new network (or one that exists but isn't currently
active) the new definition is stored in network->def, but for a
network that already exists and is active, the new definition is
stored in network->newDef, and then moved over to network->def as soon
as the network is destroyed.
However, the code that writes the dhcp and dns hosts files used by
dnsmasq was always using network->def for its information, even when
the new data was actually in network->newDef, so the hosts files
always lagged one edit behind the definition.
This patch changes the code to keep the pointer to the new definition
after it's been assigned into the network, and use it directly
(regardless of whether it's stored in network->newDef or network->def)
to construct the hosts files.
Coverity complained that 395 out of 409 virAsprintf calls are
checked, and therefore assumed that the remaining cases are bugs
waiting to happen. But in each of these cases, a failed virAsprintf
will properly set the target string to NULL, and pass on that
failure to the caller, without wasting efforts to check the call.
Adding the ignore_value silences Coverity.
* src/conf/domain_audit.c (virDomainAuditGetRdev): Ignore
virAsprintf return value, when it behaves like we need.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c (networkDnsmasqLeaseFileNameDefault)

* src/util/storage_file.c (absolutePathFromBaseFile): Likewise.

* src/util/command.c (virCommandTranslateStatus): Likewise.
This is in response to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723862
which points out that a guest on an "isolated" network could
potentially exploit the DNS forwarding provided by dnsmasq to create a
communication channel to the outside.
This patch eliminates that possibility by adding the "--no-resolv"
argument to the dnsmasq commandline, which tells dnsmasq to not
forward on any requests that it can't resolve itself (by looking at
its own static hosts files and runtime list of dhcp clients), but to
instead return a failure for those requests.
This shouldn't cause any undesirable change from current
behavior, even in the case where a guest is currently configured with
multiple interfaces, one of them being connected to an isolated
network, and another to a network that does have connectivity to the
outside. If the isolated network's DNS server is queried for a name
it doesn't know, it will return "Refused" rather than "Unknown", which
indicates to the guest that it should query other servers, so it then
queries the connected DNS server, and gets the desired response.
Every DomainNetDef has a bandwidth, as does every portgroup.
Whenever a DomainNetDef of type NETWORK is about to be used, a call is
made to networkAllocateActualDevice(). This function chooses the "best"
bandwidth object and places it in the DomainActualNetDef.
From that point on, whenever some code needs to use the bandwidth data
for the interface, it's retrieved with virDomainNetGetActualBandwidth(),
which will always return the "best" info as determined in the
previous step.
Although most functions in libvirt return 0 on success and < 0 on
failure, there are a few functions lingering around that return errno
(a positive value) on failure, and sometimes code calling those
functions incorrectly assumes the <0 standard. I noticed one of these
the other day when auditing networkStartDhcpDaemon after Guido Gunther
found a place where success was improperly returned on failure (that
patch has been acked and is pending a push). The problem was that it
expected the return value from virFileReadPid to be < 0 on failure,
but it was actually positive (it was also neglected to set the return
code in this case, similar to the bug found by Guido).
This all led to the fact that *all* of the virFile*Pid functions in
util.c are returning errno on failure. This patch remedies that
problem by changing them all to return -errno on failure, and makes
any necessary changes to callers of the functions. (In the meantime, I
also properly set the return code on failure of virFileReadPid in
networkStartDhcpDaemon).
The new listenNetwork attribute needs to learn an IP address based on a
named network. This patch provides a function networkGetNetworkAddress
which provides that.
Some networks have an IP address explicitly in their configuration
(ie, those with a forward type of "none", "route", or "nat"). For
those, we can just return the IP address from the config.
The rest will have a physical device associated with them (either via
<bridge name='...'/>, <forward ... dev='...'/>, or possibly via a pool
of interfaces inside the network's <forward> element) and we will need
to ask the kernel for a current IP address of that device (via the
newly added ifaceGetIPAddress)
If networkGetNetworkAddress encounters an error while trying to learn
the address for a network, it will return -1. In the case that libvirt
has been compiled without the network driver, the call is a macro
which reduces to -2. This allows differentiating between a failure of
the network driver, and its complete absence.
The network driver needs to assign physical devices for use by modes
that use macvtap, keeping track of which physical devices are in use
(and how many instances, when the devices can be shared). Three calls
are added:
networkAllocateActualDevice - finds a physical device for use by the
domain, and sets up the virDomainActualNetDef accordingly.
networkNotifyActualDevice - assumes that the domain was already
running, but libvirtd was restarted, and needs to be notified by each
already-running domain about what interfaces they are using.
networkReleaseActualDevice - decrements the usage count of the
allocated physical device, and frees the virDomainActualNetDef to
avoid later accidentally using the device.
bridge_driver.[hc] - the new APIs. When WITH_NETWORK is false, these
functions are all #defined to be "0" in the .h file (effectively
becoming a NOP) to prevent link errors.
qemu_(command|driver|hotplug|process).c - add calls to the above APIs
in the appropriate places.
tests/Makefile.am - we need to include libvirt_driver_network.la
whenever libvirt_driver_qemu.la is linked, to avoid unreferenced
symbols (in functions that are never called by the test
programs...)
Previously all networks were composed of bridge devices created and
managed by libvirt, and the same operations needed to be done for all
of them when they were started and stopped (create and start the
bridge device, configure its MAC address and IP address, add iptables
rules). The new network types are (for now at least) managed outside
of libvirt, and the network object is used only to contain information
about the network, which is then used as each individual guest
connects itself.
This means that when starting/stopping one of these new networks, we
really want to do nothing, aside from marking the network as
active/inactive.
This has been setup as toplevel Start/Shutdown functions that do the
small bit of common stuff, then have a switch statement to execute
network type-specific start/shutdown code, then do a bit more common
code. The type-specific functions called for the new host bridge and
macvtap based types are currently empty.
In the future these functions may actually do something, and we will
surely add more functions that are similarly patterned. Once
everything has settled, we can make a table of "sub-driver" function
pointers for each network type, and store a pointer to that table in
the network object, then we can replace the switch statements with
calls to functions in the table.
The final step in this will be to add a new table (and corresponding
new functions) for new network types as they are added.
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.
Some callers expected virFileMakePath to set errno, some expected
it to return an errno value. Unify this to return 0 on success and
-1 on error. Set errno to report detailed error information.
Also optimize virFileMakePath if stat fails with an errno different
from ENOENT.
networkSaveDnsmasqHostsfile was added in 8fa9c22142 (Apr 2010).
It has a force flag. If the dnsmasq hostsfile already exists force
needs to be true to overwrite it. networkBuildDnsmasqArgv sets force
to false, networkDefine sets it to true. This results in the
hostsfile being written only in networkDefine in the common case.
If no error occurred networkSaveDnsmasqHostsfile returns true and
networkBuildDnsmasqArgv adds the --dhcp-hostsfile to the dnsmasq
command line.
networkSaveDnsmasqHostsfile was changed in 89ae9849f7 (24 Jun 2011)
to return a new dnsmasqContext instead of reusing one. This change broke
the logic of the force flag as now networkSaveDnsmasqHostsfile returns
NULL on error, but the early return -- if force was not set and the
hostsfile exists -- returns 0. This turned the early return in an error
case and networkBuildDnsmasqArgv didn't add the --dhcp-hostsfile option
anymore if the hostsfile already exists. It did because networkDefine
created the hostsfile already.
Then 9d4e2845d4 fixed the return 0 case in networkSaveDnsmasqHostsfile
but didn't apply the force option correctly to the new addnhosts file.
Now force doesn't control an early return anymore, but influences the
handling of the hostsfile context creation and dnsmasqSave is always
called now. This commit also added test cases that reveal several
problems. First, the tests now calls functions that try to write the
dnsmasq config files to disk. If someone runs this tests as root this
might overwrite actively used dnsmasq config files, this is a no-go. Also
the tests depend on configure --localstatedir, this needs to be fixed as
well, because it makes the tests fail when localstatedir is different
from /var.
This patch does several things to fix this:
1) Move dnsmasqContext creation and saving out of networkBuildDnsmasqArgv
to the caller to separate the command line generation from the config
file writing. This makes the command line generation testable without the
risk of interfering with system files, because the tests just don't call
dnsmasqSave.
2) This refactoring of networkSaveDnsmasqHostsfile makes the force flag
useless as the saving happens somewhere else now. This fixes the wrong
usage of the force flag in combination with then newly added addnhosts
file by removing the force flag.
3) Adapt the wrong test cases to the correct behavior, by adding the
missing --dhcp-hostsfile option. Both affected tests contain DHCP host
elements but missed the necessary --dhcp-hostsfile option.
4) Rename networkSaveDnsmasqHostsfile to networkBuildDnsmasqHostsfile,
because it doesn't save the dnsmasqContext anymore.
5) Move all directory creations in dnsmasq context handling code from
the *New functions to dnsmasqSave to avoid directory creations in system
paths in the test cases.
6) Now that networkBuildDnsmasqArgv doesn't create the dnsmasqContext
anymore the test case can create one with the localstatedir that is
expected by the tests instead of the configure --localstatedir given one.
If a domain name is defined for a network, add the --expand-hosts
option to the dnsmasq commandline. This results in the domain being
added to any hostname that is defined in a dns <host> element and
contains no '.' characters (i.e. it is an "unqualified"
hostname). Since PTR records are automatically created for any name
defined in <host>, the result of a PTR request will change from the
unqualified name to the qualified name.
This also has the same effect on any hostnames that dnsmasq reads
from the host's /etc/hosts file.
(In the case of guest hostnames that were learned by dnsmasq via DHCP
requests, they were already getting the domain name added on, even
without --expand-hosts).
Convert networkDnsmasqLeaseFileName to a replaceable function pointer
that allow the testsuite to use a version of that function that is not
depending on configure --localstatedir.
This fixes 5 of 6 test failures, when configure --localstatedir isn't
set to /var.
