This function does not make any sense now, that network driver is
(almost) dropped. I mean, previously, when threads were
serialized, this function was there to check, if no other network
with the same name or UUID exists. However, nowadays that threads
can run more in parallel, this function is useless, in fact it
gives misleading return values. Consider the following scenario.
Two threads, both trying to define networks with same name but
different UUID (e.g. because it was generated during XML parsing
phase, whatever). Lets assume that both threads are about to call
networkValidate() which immediately calls
virNetworkObjIsDuplicate().
T1: calls virNetworkObjIsDuplicate() and since no network with
given name or UUID exist, success is returned.
T2: calls virNetworkObjIsDuplicate() and since no network with
given name or UUID exist, success is returned.
T1: calls virNetworkAssignDef() and successfully places its
network into the virNetworkObjList.
T2: calls virNetworkAssignDef() and since network with the same
name exists, the network definition is replaced.
Okay, this is mainly because virNetworkAssignDef() does not check
whether name and UUID matches. Well, lets make it so! And drop
useless function too.

This is going to be needed later, when some functions already
have the virNetworkObjList object already locked and need to
lookup a object to work on. As an example of such function is
virNetworkAssignDef(). The other use case might be in

This API will be used in the future to call passed callback over
each network object in the list. It's slightly different to its
virDomainObjListForEach counterpart, because virDomainObjList
uses a hash table to store domain object, while virNetworkObjList
uses an array.

Instead of copying the whole object onto stack when calling the

This adds a new "localOnly" attribute on the domain element of the
network xml. With this set to "yes", DNS requests under that domain
will only be resolved by libvirt's dnsmasq, never forwarded upstream.
This was how it worked before commit f69a6b987d, and I found that
functionality useful. For example, I have my host's NetworkManager
dnsmasq configured to forward that domain to libvirt's dnsmasq, so I can
easily resolve guest names from outside. But if libvirt's dnsmasq
doesn't know a name and forwards it to the host, I'd get an endless
forwarding loop. Now I can set localOnly="yes" to prevent the loop.

Moving code for parsing and formatting network routes to
networkcommon_conf helps reusing those routes for domains. The route
definition has been hidden to help reducing the number of unnecessary
checks in the format function.
The macTableManager attribute of a network's bridge subelement tells
libvirt how the bridge's MAC address table (used to determine the
egress port for packets) is managed. In the default mode, "kernel",
management is left to the kernel, which usually determines entries in
part by turning on promiscuous mode on all ports of the bridge,
flooding packets to all ports when the correct destination is unknown,
and adding/removing entries to the fdb as it sees incoming traffic
from particular MAC addresses. In "libvirt" mode, libvirt turns off
learning and flooding on all the bridge ports connected to guest
domain interfaces, and adds/removes entries according to the MAC
addresses in the domain interface configurations. A side effect of
turning off learning and unicast_flood on the ports of a bridge is
that (with Linux kernel 3.17 and newer), the kernel can automatically
turn off promiscuous mode on one or more of the bridge's ports
(usually only the one interface that is used to connect the bridge to
the physical network). The result is better performance (because
packets aren't being flooded to all ports, and can be dropped earlier
when they are of no interest) and slightly better security (a guest
can still send out packets with a spoofed source MAC address, but will
only receive traffic intended for the guest interface's configured MAC
address).
The attribute looks like this in the configuration:
<network>
<name>test</name>
<bridge name='br0' macTableManager='libvirt'/>
...
This patch only adds the config knob, documentation, and test
cases. The functionality behind this knob is added in later patches.
This new attribute will control whether or not libvirt will pay
attention to guest notifications about changes to network device mac
addresses and receive filters. The default for this is 'no' (for
security reasons). If it is set to 'yes' *and* the specified device
model and connection support it (currently only macvtap+virtio) then
libvirt will watch for NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED events, and when it
receives one, it will issue a query-rx-filter command, retrieve the
result, and modify the host-side macvtap interface's mac address and
unicast/multicast filters accordingly.
The functionality behind this attribute will be in a later patch. This
patch merely adds the attribute to the top-level of a domain's
<interface> as well as to <network> and <portgroup>, and adds
documentation and schema/xml2xml tests. Rather than adding even more
test files, I've just added the net attribute in various applicable
places of existing test files.
In "src/conf/" there are many enumeration (enum) declarations.
Similar to the recent cleanup to "src/util" directory, it's
better to use a typedef for variable types, function types and
other usages. Other enumeration and folders will be changed to
typedef's in the future. Most of the files changed in this commit
are reltaed to Network (network_conf.* and interface_conf.*) enums.

Experimentation showed that if virNetworkCreateXML() was called for a
network that was already defined, and then the network was
subsequently shutdown, the network would continue to be persistent
after the shutdown (expected/desired), but the original config would
be lost in favor of the transient config sent in with
virNetworkCreateXML() (which would then be the new persistent config)
(obviously unexpected/not desired).
To fix this, virNetworkObjAssignDef() has been changed to
1) properly save/free network->def and network->newDef for all the
various combinations of live/active/persistent, including some
combinations that were previously considered to be an error but didn't
need to be (e.g. setting a "live" config for a network that isn't yet
active but soon will be - that was previously considered an error,
even though in practice it can be very useful).
2) automatically set the persistent flag whenever a new non-live
config is assigned to the network (and clear it when the non-live
config is set to NULL). the libvirt network driver no longer directly
manipulates network->persistent, but instead relies entirely on
virNetworkObjAssignDef() to do the right thing automatically.
After this patch, the following sequence will behave as expected:
virNetworkDefineXML(X)
virNetworkCreateXML(X') (same name but some config different)
virNetworkDestroy(X)
At the end of these calls, the network config will remain as it was
after the initial virNetworkDefine(), whereas previously it would take
on the changes given during virNetworkCreateXML().
Another effect of this tighter coupling between a) setting a !live def
and b) setting/clearing the "persistent" flag, is that future patches
which change the details of network lifecycle management
(e.g. upcoming patches to fix detection of "active" networks when
libvirtd is restarted) will find it much more difficult to break
persistence functionality.
This fixes a possible double free. In virNetworkAssignDef() if
virBitmapNew() fails, then virNetworkObjFree(network) is called.
However, with network->def pointing to actual @def. So if caller
frees @def again, ...
Moreover, this fixes one possible memory leak too. In
virInterfaceAssignDef() if appending to the list of interfaces
fails, we ought to call virInterfaceObjFree() instead of bare
VIR_FREE().
Although, in order to do that some array size variables needs
to be turned into size_t rather than int.

The previous patch fixed "forwardPlainNames" so that it really is

'const fooPtr' is the same as 'foo * const' (the pointer won't

This resolves the issue that prompted the filing of
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=928638
(although the request there is for something much larger and more
general than this patch).
commit f3868259ca disabled the
forwarding to upstream DNS servers of unresolved DNS requests for
names that had no domain, but were just simple host names (no "."
character anywhere in the name). While this behavior is frowned upon
by DNS root servers (that's why it was changed in libvirt), it is
convenient in some cases, and since dnsmasq can be configured to allow
it, it must not be strictly forbidden.
This patch restores the old behavior, but since it is usually
undesirable, restoring it requires specification of a new option in
the network config. Adding the attribute "forwardPlainNames='yes'" to
the <dns> elemnt does the trick - when that attribute is added to a
network config, any simple hostnames that can't be resolved by the
network's dnsmasq instance will be forwarded to the DNS servers listed
in the host's /etc/resolv.conf for an attempt at resolution (just as
any FQDN would be forwarded).
When that attribute *isn't* specified, unresolved simple names will
*not* be forwarded to the upstream DNS server - this is the default
behavior.
network: static route support for <network>
This patch adds the <route> subelement of <network> to define a static
route. the address and prefix (or netmask) attribute identify the
destination network, and the gateway attribute specifies the next hop
address (which must be directly reachable from the containing
<network>) which is to receive the packets destined for
"address/(prefix|netmask)".
These attributes are translated into an "ip route add" command that is
executed when the network is started. The command used is of the
following form:
ip route add <address>/<prefix> via <gateway> \
dev <virbr-bridge> proto static metric <metric>
Tests are done to validate that the input data are correct. For
example, for a static route ip definition, the address must be a
network address and not a host address. Additional checks are added
to ensure that the specified gateway is directly reachable via this
network (i.e. that the gateway IP address is in the same subnet as one
of the IP's defined for the network).
prefix='0' is supported for both family='ipv4' address='0.0.0.0'
netmask='0.0.0.0' or prefix='0', and for family='ipv6' address='::',
prefix=0', although care should be taken to not override a desired
system default route.
Anytime an attempt is made to define a static route which *exactly*
duplicates an existing static route (for example, address=::,
prefix=0, metric=1), the following error message will be sent to
syslog:
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
This can be overridden by decreasing the metric value for the route
that should be preferred, or increasing the metric for the route that
shouldn't be preferred (and is thus in place only in anticipation that
the preferred route may be removed in the future). Caution should be
used when manipulating route metrics, especially for a default route.
Note: The use of the command-line interface should be replaced by
direct use of libnl so that error conditions can be handled better. But,
that is being left as an exercise for another day.

I remembered to document this bit, but somehow forgot to implement it.
This adds <driver name='kvm|vfio'/> as a subelement to the <forward>
element of a network (this puts it parallel to the match between
mode='hostdev' attribute in a network and type='hostdev' in an
<interface>).
Since it's already documented, only the parser, formatter, backend
driver recognition (it just translates/moves the flag into the
<interface> at the appropriate time), and a test case were needed.
(I used a separate enum for the values both because the original is
defined in domain_conf.h, which is unavailable from network_conf.h,
and because in the future it's possible that we may want to support
other non-hostdev oriented driver names in the network parser; this
makes sure that one can be expanded without the other).
Until now tranisent networks weren't really useful as libvirtd wasn't
able to remember them across restarts. This patch adds support for
loading status files of transient networks (that already were generated)
so that the status isn't lost.
This patch chops up virNetworkObjUpdateParseFile and turns it into
virNetworkLoadState and a few friends that will help us to load status
XMLs and refactors the functions that are loading the configs to use
them.
This reverts commit 383ebc4694.
We decided the xml for this feature needed more thought to make sure
we are doing it the best way, in particular wrt option values that
have multiple items.
Originally, only a host name was used to associate a
DHCPv6 request with a specific IPv6 address. Further testing
demonstrates that this is an unreliable method and, instead,
a client-id or DUID needs to be used. According to DHCPv6
standards, this id can be a duid-LLT, duid-LL, or duid-UUID
even though dnsmasq will accept almost any text string.
Although validity checking of a specified string makes sure it is
hexadecimal notation with bytes separated by colons, there is no
rigorous check to make sure it meets the standard.

Currently, we are only keeping a inactive XML configuration
in status dir. This is no longer enough as we need to keep
this class_id attribute so we don't overwrite old entries
when the daemon restarts. However, since there has already
been release which has just <network/> as root element,
and we want to keep things compatible, detect that loaded
status file is older one, and don't scream about it.
Network should be notified if we plug in or unplug an
interface, so it can perform some action, e.g. set/unset
network part of QoS. However, we are doing this in very
early stage, so iface->ifname isn't filled in yet. So
whenever we want to report an error, we must use a different
identifier, e.g. the MAC address.
The attributes of a <network> element's <forward> element were
previously stored directly in the virNetworkDef object, but
virNetworkUpdateForward() needs to operate on a <forward> in
isolation, so this patchs pulls out all those attributes into a
separate virNetworkForwardDef struct (and shortens their names
appropriately). This new object is contained in the virNetworkDef, not
pointed to by it, so there is no extra memory management.
This patch makes no functional changes, it only changes, e.g.,
"nForwardIfs" to "forward.nifs".
Since there is only a single virNetworkDNSDef for any virNetworkDef,
and it's trivial to determine whether or not it contains any real
data, it's much simpler (and fits more uniformly with the parse
function calling sequence of the parsers for many other objects that
are subordinates of virNetworkDef) if virNetworkDef *contains* an
virNetworkDNSDef rather than pointing to one.
Since it is now just a part of another object rather than its own
object, it no longer makes sense to have a *Free() function, so that
is changed to a *Clear() function.
More importantly though, ParseXML and Clear functions are needed for
the individual items contained in a virNetworkDNSDef (srv, txt, and
host records), but none of them have a *Clear(), and only two of the
three had *ParseXML() functions (both of which used a non-uniform
arglist). Those problems are cleared up by this patch - it splits the
higher-level Clear function into separate functions for each of the
three, creates a parse for txt records, and cleans up the srv and host
parsers, so we now have all the utility functions necessary to
implement virNetworkDefUpdateDNS(Host|Srv|Txt).
This shortens the name of the structs for srv and txt, and their
instances in virNetworkDNSDef, to be more compact and uniform with the
naming of the dns host array. It also changes the type of ntxts, etc
from unsigned int to size_t, so that they can be used directly as args
to VIR_*_ELEMENT.
The already-written backend functions for virNetworkUpdate that add
and delete items into lists within the a network were already debugged
to work properly, but future such functions will use
VIR_(INSERT|DELETE)_ELEMENT instead, so these are changed for
uniformity.
This patch adds the capability for virtual guests to do IPv6
communication via a virtual network interface with no IPv6 (gateway)
addresses specified. This capability has always been enabled by
default for IPv4, but disabled for IPv6 for security concerns, and
because it requires the ip6tables command to be operational (which
isn't the case on a system with the ipv6 module completely disabled).
This patch adds a new attribute "ipv6" at the toplevel of a <network>
object. If ipv6='yes', the extra ip6tables rules required to permite
inter-guest communications are added when the network is started. If
it is 'no', or not present, those rules will not be added; thus the
default behavior doesn't change, so there should be no compatibility
issues with any existing installations.
Note that virtual guests cannot communication with the virtualization
host via this interface, because the following kernel tunable has
been set:
net.ipv6.conf.<bridge_interface_name>.disable_ipv6 = 1
This assures that the bridge interface will not have an IPv6
link-local (fe80::) address.
To control this behavior so that it is not enabled by default, the parameter
ipv6='yes' on the <network> statement has been added.
Documentation related to this patch has been updated.
The network schema has also been updated.
