Back in July 2010, commit 6ea90b84 (meant to resolve
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/571991 ) added code to set the MAC address
of any tap device to the associated guest interface's MAC, but with
the first byte replaced with 0xFE. This was done in order to assure
that
1) the tap MAC and guest interface MAC were different (otherwise L2
forwarding through the tap would not work, and the kernel would
repeatedly issue a warning stating as much).
2) any bridge device that had one of these taps attached would *not*
take on the MAC of the tap (leading to network instability as
guests started and stopped)
A couple years later, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/798467 was filed,
complaining that a user could configure a tap-based guest interface to
have a MAC address that itself had a first byte of 0xFE, silently
(other than the kernel warning messages) resulting in a non-working
configuration. This was fixed by commit 5d571045, which logged an
error and failed the guest start / interface attach if the MAC's first
byte was 0xFE.
Although this restriction only reduces the potential pool of MAC
addresses from 2^46 (last two bits of byte 1 must be set to 10) by
2^32 (still 4 orders of magnitude larger than the entire IPv4 address
space), it also means that management software that autogenerates MAC
addresses must have special code to avoid an 0xFE prefix. Now after 7
years, someone has noticed this restriction and requested that we
remove it.
So instead of failing when 0xFE is found as the first byte, this patch
removes the restriction by just replacing the first byte in the tap
device MAC with 0xFA if the first byte in the guest interface is
0xFE. 0xFA is the next-highest value that still has 10 as the lowest
two bits, and still
2) meets the requirement of "tap MAC must be different from guest
interface MAC", and
3) is high enough that there should never be an issue of the attached
bridge device taking on the MAC of the tap.
The result is that *any* MAC can be chosen by management software
(although it would still not work correctly if a multicast MAC (lowest
bit of first byte set to 1) was chosen), but that's a different
issue).

The QEMU command line arguments are very long and currently all written

In many files there are header comments that contain an Author:
statement, supposedly reflecting who originally wrote the code.
In a large collaborative project like libvirt, any non-trivial
file will have been modified by a large number of different
contributors. IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,
omitting people who have made significant contribitions.
In some places Author: lines have been added despite the person
merely being responsible for creating the file by moving existing
code out of another file. IOW, the Author: lines give an incorrect
record of authorship.
With this all in mind, the comments are useless as a means to identify
who to talk to about code in a particular file. Contributors will always
be better off using 'git log' and 'git blame' if they need to find the
author of a particular bit of code.
This commit thus deletes all Author: comments from the source and adds
a rule to prevent them reappearing.
The Copyright headers are similarly misleading and inaccurate, however,
we cannot delete these as they have legal meaning, despite being largely
inaccurate. In addition only the copyright holder is permitted to change
their respective copyright statement.

This reverts commit 2841e675.
It turns out that adding the host_mtu field to the PCI capabilities in
the guest bumps the length of PCI capabilities beyond the 32 byte
boundary, so the virtio-net device gets 64 bytes of ioport space
instead of 32, which offsets the address of all the other following
devices. Migration doesn't work very well when the location and length
of PCI capabilities of devices is changed between source and
destination.
This means that we need to make sure that the absence/presence of
host_mtu on the qemu commandline always matches between source and
destination, which means that we need to make setting of host_mtu an
opt-in thing (it can't happen automatically when the bridge being used
has a non-default MTU, which is what commit 2841e675 implemented).
I do want to re-implement this feature with an <mtu auto='on'/>
setting, but probably won't backport that to any stable branches, so
I'm first reverting the original commit, and that revert can be pushed
to the few releases that have been made since the original (3.1.0 -
3.3.0)

libvirt was able to set the host_mtu option when an MTU was explicitly
given in the interface config (with <mtu size='n'/>), set the MTU of a
libvirt network in the network config (with the same named
subelement), and would automatically set the MTU of any tap device to
the MTU of the network.
This patch ties that all together (for networks based on tap devices
and either Linux host bridges or OVS bridges) by learning the MTU of
the network (i.e. the bridge) during qemuInterfaceBridgeConnect(), and
returning that value so that it can then be passed to
qemuBuildNicDevStr(); qemuBuildNicDevStr() then sets host_mtu in the
interface's commandline options.
The result is that a higher MTU for all guests connecting to a
particular network will be plumbed top to bottom by simply changing
the MTU of the network (in libvirt's config for libvirt-managed
networks, or directly on the bridge device for simple host bridges or
OVS bridges managed outside of libvirt).
One question I have about this - it occurred to me that in the case of
migrating a guest from a host with an older libvirt to one with a
newer libvirt, the guest may have *not* had the host_mtu option on the
older machine, but *will* have it on the newer machine. I'm curious if
this could lead to incompatibilities between source and destination (I
guess it all depends on whether or not the setting of host_mtu has a
practical effect on a guest that is already running - Maxime?)
Likewise, we could run into problems when migrating from a newer
libvirt to older libvirt - The guest would have been told of the
higher MTU on the newer libvirt, then migrated to a host that didn't
understand <mtu size='blah'/>. (If this really is a problem, it would
be a problem with or without the current patch).
virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort() has always set the new tap device to
the current MTU of the bridge it's being attached to. There is one
case where we will want to set the new tap device to a different
(usually larger) MTU - if that's done with the very first device added
to the bridge, the bridge's MTU will be set to the device's MTU. This
patch allows for that possibility by adding "int mtu" to the arg list
for virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort(), but all callers are sending -1,
so it doesn't yet have any effect.
Since the requested MTU isn't necessarily what is used in the end (for
example, if there is no MTU requested, the tap device will be set to
the current MTU of the bridge), and the hypervisor may want to know
the actual MTU used, we also return the actual MTU to the caller (if
actualMTU is non-NULL).
When support for auto-creating tap devices was added to <interface
type='ethernet'> in commit 9c17d6, the code assumed that
virNetDevTapCreate() would honor the VIR_NETDEV_TAP__CREATE_IFUP flag
that is supported by virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort(). That isn't the
case - the latter function performs several operations, and one of
them is setting the tap device online. But virNetDevTapCreate() *only*
creates the tap device, and relies on the caller to do everything
else, so qemuInterfaceEthernetConnect() needs to call
virNetDevSetOnline() after the device is successfully created.
The call to virNetDevIPInfoAddToDev() that sets up tap device IP
addresses and routes was somehow incorrectly placed in
qemuInterfaceStopDevice() instead of qemuInterfaceStartDevice() in
commit fe8567f6. This fixes that error by moving the call to
virNetDevIPInfoAddToDev() to qemuInterfaceStartDevice().

For type='ethernet' interfaces only.
(This patch had been pushed earlier in
commit 0b4645a7e0, but was reverted in
commit 84d47a3cce because it had been
accidentally pushed during the freeze for release 2.0.0)
SRIOV VFs used in macvtap passthrough mode can take advantage of the
SRIOV card's transparent vlan tagging. All the code was there to set
the vlan tag, and it has been used for SRIOV VFs used for hostdev
interfaces for several years, but for some reason, the vlan tag for
macvtap passthrough devices was stubbed out with a -1.
This patch moves a bit of common validation down to a lower level
(virNetDevReplaceNetConfig()) so it is shared by hostdev and macvtap
modes, and updates the macvtap caller to actually send the vlan config
instead of -1.
This reverts commit 6e244c659f, which
added support to qemu for the "peer" attribute in domain interface <ip>
elements.
It's being removed temporarily for the release of libvirt 1.3.4
because the feature doesn't work, and there are concerns that it may
need to be modified in an externally visible manner which could create
backward compatibility problems.
Conflicts:
tests/qemuxml2argvmock.c - a mock of virNetDevSetOnline() was added
which may be assumed by other tests added since the original commit,
so it isn't being reverted.

Adds a new interface type using UDP sockets, this seems only applicable
to QEMU but have edited tree-wide to support the new interface type.
The interface type required the addition of a "localaddr" (local
address), this then maps into the following xml and qemu call.
<interface type='udp'>
<mac address='52:54:00:5c:67:56'/>
<source address='127.0.0.1' port='11112'>
<local address='127.0.0.1' port='22222'/>
</source>
<model type='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
QEMU call:
-net socket,udp=127.0.0.1:11112,localaddr=127.0.0.1:22222
Notice the xml "local" entry becomes the "localaddr" for the qemu call.

A further fix for:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1113474
Since there is no possibility that any type of macvtap will work if
the parent physdev it's attached to is offline, we should bring the
physdev online at the same time as the macvtap. When taking the
macvtap offline, it's also necessary to take the physdev offline for
macvtap passthrough mode (because the physdev has the same MAC address
as the macvtap device, so could potentially cause problems with
misdirected packets during migration, as outlined in commits 829770
and 879c13). We can't set the physdev offline for other macvtap modes
1) because there may be other macvtap devices attached to the same
physdev (and/or the host itself may be using the device) in the other
modes whereas passthrough mode is exclusive to one macvtap at a time,
and 2) there's no practical reason to do so anyway.
When libvirt is managing a bridge's forwarding database (FDB)
(macTableManager='libvirt'), if we add FDB entries for a new guest
interface even before the qemu process is created, then in the case of
a migration any other guest attached to the "destination" bridge will
have its traffic immediately sent to the destination of the migration
even while the source domain is still running (and the destination, of
course, isn't). To make sure that traffic from other guests on the new
host continues flowing to the old guest until the new one is ready, we
have to wait until the new guest CPUs are started to add the FDB
entries.
Conversely, we need to remove the FDB entries from the bridge any time
the guest CPUs are stopped; among other things, this will assure
proper operation during a post-copy migration (which is just the
opposite of the problem described in the previous paragraph).
We now have a qemuInterfaceStartDevices() which does the final
activation needed for the host-side tap/macvtap devices that are used
for qemu network connections. It will soon make sense to have the
converse qemuInterfaceStopDevices() which will undo whatever was done
during qemuInterfaceStartDevices().
A function to "stop" a single device has also been added, and is
called from the appropriate place in qemuDomainDetachNetDevice(),
although this is currently unnecessary - the device is going to
immediately be deleted anyway, so any extra "deactivation" will be for
naught. The call is included for completeness, though, in anticipation
that in the future there may be some required action that *isn't*
nullified by deleting the device.
This patch is a part of a more complete fix for:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1081461
Currently, MAC registration occurs during device creation, which is
early enough that, during live migration, you end up with duplicate
MAC addresses on still-running source and target devices, even though
the target device isn't actually being used yet.
This patch proposes to defer MAC registration until right before
the guest can actually use the device -- In other words, right
before starting guest CPUs.
