Similarly to deprecating close(), I am now deprecating fclose() and
introduce VIR_FORCE_FCLOSE() and VIR_FCLOSE(). Also, fdopen() is replaced with
VIR_FDOPEN().
Most of the files are opened in read-only mode, so usage of
VIR_FORCE_CLOSE() seemed appropriate. Others that are opened in write
mode already had the fclose()< 0 check and I converted those to
VIR_FCLOSE()< 0.
I did not find occurrences of possible double-closed files on the way.
In a first step I am converting the netlink message construction in
macvtap code to use libnl. It's pretty much a 1:1 conversion except that
now the message needs to be allocated and deallocated.
Using automated replacement with sed and editing I have now replaced all
occurrences of close() with VIR_(FORCE_)CLOSE() except for one, of
course. Some replacements were straight forward, others I needed to pay
attention. I hope I payed attention in all the right places... Please
have a look. This should have at least solved one more double-close
error.
During function test of the 802.1Qbg implementation in lldpad we came
across a small problem in the handling of the netlink message
corresponding to PORT_PROFILE_RESPONSE_INPROGRESS. This should not
result in returning the default rc=1.
- src/util/macvtap.c: fix getPortProfileStatus() to return 0 in that
case and also fix an indentation problem
This patch works around a recent extension of the netlink driver I had made use of when building the netlink messages. Unfortunately older kernels don't accept IFLA_IFNAME + name of interface as a replacement for the interface's index, so this patch now gets the interface index ifindex if it's not provided (ifindex <= 0).
This patch that adds support for configuring 802.1Qbg and 802.1Qbh
switches. The 802.1Qbh part has been successfully tested with real
hardware. The 802.1Qbg part has only been tested with a (dummy)
server that 'behaves' similarly to how we expect lldpad to 'behave'.
The following changes were made during the development of this patch:
- Merging Scott's v13-pre1 patch
- Fixing endptr related bug while using virStrToLong_ui() pointed out
by Jim Meyering
- Addressing Jim Meyering's comments to v11
- requiring mac address to the vpDisassociateProfileId() function to
pass it further to the 802.1Qbg disassociate part (802.1Qbh untouched)
- determining pid of lldpad daemon by reading it from /var/run/libvirt.pid
(hardcode as is hardcode alson in lldpad sources)
- merging netlink send code for kernel target and user space target
(lldpad) using one function nlComm() to send the messages
- adding a select() after the sending and before the reading of the
netlink response in case lldpad doesn't respond and so we don't hang
- when reading the port status, in case of 802.1Qbg, no status may be
received while things are 'in progress' and only at the end a status
will be there.
- when reading the port status, use the given instanceId and vf to pick
the right IFLA_VF_PORT among those nested under IFLA_VF_PORTS.
- never sending nor parsing IFLA_PORT_SELF type of messages in the
802.1Qbg case
- iterating over the elements in a IFLA_VF_PORTS to pick the right
IFLA_VF_PORT by either IFLA_PORT_PROFILE and given profileId
(802.1Qbh) or IFLA_PORT_INSTANCE_UUID and given instanceId (802.1Qbg)
and reading the current status in IFLA_PORT_RESPONSE.
- recycling a previous patch that adds functionality to interface.c to
- get the vlan identifier on an interface
- get the flags of an interface and some convenience function to
check whether an interface is 'up' or not (not currently used here)
- adding function to determine the root physical interface of an
interface. For example if a macvtap is linked to eth0.100, it will
find eth0. Also adding a function that finds the vlan on the 'way to
the root physical interface'
- conveying the root physical interface name and index in case of 802.1Qbg
- conveying mac address of macvlan device and vlan identifier in
IFLA_VFINFO_LIST[ IFLA_VF_INFO[ IFLA_VF_MAC(mac), IFLA_VF_VLAN(vlan) ] ]
to (future) lldpad via netlink
- To enable build with --without-macvtap rename the
[dis|]associatePortProfileId functions, prepend 'vp' before their
name and make them non-static functions.
- Renaming variable multicast to nltarget_kernel and inverting
the logic
- Addressing Jim Meyering's comments; this also touches existing
code for example for correcting indentation of break statements or
simplification of switch statements.
- Renamed occurrencvirVirtualPortProfileDef to virVirtualPortProfileParamses
- 802.1Qbg part prepared for sending a RTM_SETLINK and getting
processing status back plus a subsequent RTM_GETLINK to
get IFLA_PORT_RESPONSE.
Note: This interface for 802.1Qbg may still change
- [David Allan] move getPhysfn inside IFLA_VF_PORT_MAX to avoid
compiler
warning when latest if_link.h isn't available
- move from Stefan's 802.1Qb{g|h} XML v8 to v9
- move hostuuid and vf index calcs to inside doPortProfileOp8021Qbh
- remove debug fprintfs
- use virGetHostUUID (thanks Stefan!)
- fix compile issue when latest if_link.h isn't available
- change poll timeout to 10s, at 1/8 intervals
- if polling times out, log msg and return -ETIMEDOUT
- Add Stefan's code for getPortProfileStatus
- Poll for up to 2 secs for port-profile status, at 1/8 sec intervals:
- if status indicates error, abort openMacvtapTap
- if status indicates success, exit polling
- if status is "in-progress" after 2 secs of polling, exit
polling loop silently, without error
My patch finishes out the 802.1Qbh parts, which Stefan had mostly complete.
I've tested using the recent kernel updates for VF_PORT netlink msgs and
enic for Cisco's 10G Ethernet NIC. I tested many VMs, each with several
direct interfaces, each configured with a port-profile per the XML. VM-to-VM,
and VM-to-external work as expected. VM-to-VM on same host (using same NIC)
works same as VM-to-VM where VMs are on diff hosts. I'm able to change
settings on the port-profile while the VM is running to change the virtual
port behaviour. For example, adjusting a QoS setting like rate limit. All
VMs with interfaces using that port-profile immediatly see the effect of the
change to the port-profile.
I don't have a SR-IOV device to test so source dev is a non-SR-IOV device,
but most of the code paths include support for specifing the source dev and
VF index. We'll need to complete this by discovering the PF given the VF
linkdev. Once we have the PF, we'll also have the VF index. All this info-
mation is available from sysfs.
This patch parses the following two XML descriptions, one for
802.1Qbg and one for 802.1Qbh, and stores the data internally.
The actual triggering of the switch setup protocol has not been
implemented here but the relevant code to do that should go into
the functions associatePortProfileId() and disassociatePortProfileId().
<interface type='direct'>
<source dev='eth0.100' mode='vepa'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<virtualport type='802.1Qbg'>
<parameters managerid='12' typeid='0x123456' typeidversion='1'
instanceid='fa9b7fff-b0a0-4893-8e0e-beef4ff18f8f'/>
</virtualport>
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'/>
</interface>
<interface type='direct'>
<source dev='eth0.100' mode='vepa'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<virtualport type='802.1Qbh'>
<parameters profileid='my_profile'/>
</virtualport>
</interface>
I'd suggest to use this patch as a base for triggering the setup
protocol with the 802.1Qb{g|h} switch.
Several rounds of changes were made to this patch. The
following is a list of these changes.
- Renamed structure virVirtualPortProfileDef to virVirtualPortProfileParams
as per Daniel Berrange's request
- Addressing Daniel Berrange's comments:
- removing macvtap.h's dependency on domain_conf.h by
moving the virVirtualPortProfileDef structure into macvtap.h
and not passing virtDomainNetDefPtr to any functions in
macvtap.c
- Addressed most of Chris Wright's comments:
- indicating error in case virtualport XML node cannot be parsed
properly
- parsing hex and decimal numbers using virStrToLong_ui() with
parameter '0' for base
- tgifname (target interface name) variable wasn't necessary
to pass to openMacvtapTap function anymore
- assigning the virtual port data structure to the virDomainNetDef
only if it was previously parsed
- make sure that the error code returned by openMacvtapTap() is a negative n
in case the associatePortProfileId() function failed.
- renaming vsi in the XML to virtualport
- replace all occurrences of vsi in the source as well
- removing mode and MAC address parameters from the functions that
will communicate with the hareware diretctly or indirectly
- moving the associate and disassociate functions to the end of the
file for subsequent patches to easier make them generally available
for export
- passing the macvtap interface name rather than the link device since
this otherwise gives funny side effects when using netlink messages
where IFLA_IFNAME and IFLA_ADDRESS are specified and the link dev
all of a sudden gets the MAC address of the macvtap interface.
- Removing rc = -1 error indications in the case of 802.1Qbg|h setup in case
we wanted to use hook scripts for the setup and so the setup doesn't fail
here.
- if instance ID UUID is not supplied it will automatically be generated
- adapted schema to make instance ID UUID optional
- added test case
- parser and XML generator have been separated into their own
functions so they can be re-used elsewhere (passthrough case
for example)
- Adapted XML parser and generator support the above shown type
(802.1Qbg, 802.1Qbh).
- Adapted schema to above XML
- Adapted test XML to above XML
- Passing through the VM's UUID which seems to be necessary for
802.1Qbh -- sorry no host UUID
- adding virtual function ID to association function, in case it's
necessary to use (for SR-IOV)
Changes from v1 to v2:
- changed function name prefixes to 'iface' from previous 'Iface'
- Further to make make syntax-check pass:
- indentation fix in interface.h
- added entry to POTFILES.in
I am consolidating network interface related functions used in nwfilter
and macvtap code in utils/interface.c. All function names are prefixed
with 'Iface'. The following functions are now available through
interface.h:
int ifaceCtrl(const char *name, bool up);
int ifaceUp(const char *name);
int ifaceDown(const char *name);
int ifaceCheck(bool reportError, const char *ifname,
const unsigned char *macaddr, int ifindex);
int ifaceGetIndex(bool reportError, const char *ifname, int *ifindex);
I added 'int ifindex' as parameter to ifaceCheck to the original
function and modified the code accordingly.
This patch sets or unsets the IFF_VNET_HDR flag depending on what device
is used in the VM. The manipulation of the flag is done in the open
function and is only fatal if the IFF_VNET_HDR flag could not be cleared
although it has to be (or if an ioctl generally fails). In that case the
macvtap tap is closed again and the macvtap interface torn.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: pass qemuCmdFlags to
qemudPhysIfaceConnect()
* src/util/macvtap.c src/util/macvtap.h: add vnet_hdr boolean to
openMacvtapTap(), and private function configMacvtapTap()
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: add extra qemuCmdFlags when calling
qemudPhysIfaceConnect()
Rework and simplification of teardown of the macvtap device.
Basically all devices with the same MAC address and link device are kept
alive and not attempted to be torn down. If a macvtap device linked to a
physical interface with a certain MAC address 'M' is to be created it
will automatically fail if the interface is 'up'ed and another macvtap
with the same properties (MAC addr 'M', link dev) happens to be 'up'.
This will prevent the VM from starting or the device from being attached
to a running VM. Stale interfaces are assumed to be there for some
reason and not stem from libvirt.
In the VM shutdown path, it's assuming that an interface name is always
available so that if the device type is DIRECT it can be torn down
using its name.
* src/util/macvtap.h src/libvirt_macvtap.syms: change of deleting routine
* src/util/macvtap.c: cleanups and change of deleting routine
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: change cleanup on shutdown
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: don't delete Macvtap in qemudPhysIfaceConnect()
This part adds the helper code to setup and tear down macvtap devices
using direct communication with the device driver via netlink sockets.
The rather short messages received from the netlink layer are now
written into a dynamically allocated buffer
* src/util/macvtap.h src/util/macvtap.c: provides the new module
* po/POTFILES.in: the module contains translated strings
This patch adds build support for libvirt checking for certain contents
of /usr/include/linux/if_link.h to see whether macvtap support is
compilable on that system. One can disable macvtap support in libvirt
via --without-macvtap passed to configure.
* configure.ac src/Makefile.am: new build support
* src/libvirt_macvtap.syms: list of exported symbols
* src/util/macvtap.c: empty module to not break compilation
