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,
src/network/bridge_driver.c, src/opennebula/one_driver.c,
src/openvz/openvz_driver.c, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c,
src/test/test_driver.c, src/uml/uml_driver.c: Update for
renamed APIs.
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.
