We will want to allow silent failure of virNetDevSetMAC() in the case
that the SIOSIFHWADDR ioctl fails with errno == EADDRNOTAVAIL. (Yes,
that is very specific, but we really *do* want a logged failure in all
other circumstances, and don't want to duplicate code in the caller
for the other possibilities).
This patch renames the 3 different virNetDevSetMAC() functions to
virNetDevSetMACInternal(), adding a 3rd arg called "quiet" and making
them static (because this extra control will only be needed within
virnetdev.c). A new global virNetDevSetMAC() is defined that calls
whichever of the three *Internal() functions gets compiled with quiet
= false. Callers in virnetdev.c that want to notice a failure with
errno == EADDRNOTAVAIL and retry with a different strategy rather than
immediately failing, can call virNetDevSetMACInternal(..., true).
...and cleanup the callers to report it when it *is* an error.
In many cases It's useful for virPCIGetNetName() to not log an error
and simply return a NULL pointer when the given device isn't bound to
a net driver (e.g. we're looking at a VF that is permanently bound to
vfio-pci). The existing code would silently return an error in this
case, which could eventually lead to the dreaded "An error occurred
but the cause is unknown" log message.
This patch changes virPCIGetNetName() to still return success if the
device simply isn't bound to a net driver, and adjusts all the callers
that require a non-null netname to check for that condition and log an
error when it happens.
This function is only called in two places, and the ifindex,
nltarget_kernel, and getPidFunc args are never used (and never will
be).
ifindex - we always know the name of the device, and never know the
ifindex - if we really did need the ifindex we would have to get it
from the name using virNetDevGetIndex(). In practice, we just send -1
to virNetDevSetVfConfig(), which doesn't bother to learn the real
ifindex (you only need a name *or* an ifindex for the netlink command
to succeed, not both).
nltarget_kernel - messages to set the config of an SRIOV VF will
always go to netlink in the kernel, not to another user process, so
this arg is always true (there are other uses of netlink messages
where the message might need to go to another user process, but never
in the case of RTM_SETLINK for SRIOV).
getPidFunc - this arg is only used if nltarget_kernel is false, and it
never is.
None of this has any functional effect, it just makes it easier to
follow what's happening when virNetDevSetVfConfig() is called.
virNetDevParseVfConfig() assumed that both the MAC address and VLAN
tag pointers were valid, so even if you only wanted one or the other,
you would need a variable to hold the returned value for both. This
patch checks each for a NULL pointer before filling it in.
This function provides the bridge/bond device that the given network
device is attached to. The return value is 0 or -1, and the master
device is a char** argument to the function - this is needed in order
to allow for a "success" return from a device that has no master.
The only reason that the ethtool features weren't being retrieved in
an unprivileged libvirtd was because they required ioctl(), and the
ioctl was using an AF_PACKET socket, which requires root. Now that we
are using AF_UNIX for ioctl(), this restriction can be removed.
The exact family of the socket created for the fd used by ioctl(7)
doesn't matter, it just needs to be a socket and not a file. But for
some reason when macvtap support was added, it used
AF_PACKET/SOCK_DGRAM sockets for its ioctls; we later used the same
AF_PACKET/SOCK_DGRAM socket for new ioctls we added, and eventually
modified the other pre-existing ioctl sockets (for creating/deleting
bridges) to also use AF_PACKET/SOCK_DGRAM (that code originally used
AF_UNIX/SOCK_STREAM).
The problem with using AF_PACKET (intended for sending/receiving "raw"
packets, i.e. packets that can be some protocol other than TCP or UDP)
is that it requires root privileges. This meant that none of the
ioctls in virnetdev.c or virnetdevip.c would work when running
libvirtd unprivileged.
This packet solves that problem by changing the family to AF_UNIX when
creating the socket used for any ioctl().
Before 9c17d665fd (v1.3.2 - I know, right?) it was possible to
have the following interface configuration:
<interface type='ethernet'/>
<script path=''/>
</interface>
This resulted in -netdev tap,script=,.. Fortunately, qemu helped
us to get away with this as it just ignored the empty script
path. However, after the commit mentioned above it's libvirtd
who is executing the script. Unfortunately without special
case-ing empty script path.

This patch splits virnetdev.[ch] into multiple files, with the new
virnetdevip.[ch] containing all the functions related to setting and
retrieving IP-related info for a device (both addresses and routes).
These had been declared in conf/device_conf.h, but then used in
util/virnetdev.c, meaning that we had to #include conf/device_conf.h
in virnetdev.c (which we have for a long time said shouldn't be done.
This caused a bigger problem when I tried to #include util/virnetdev.h
in a file in src/conf (which is allowed) - for some reason the
"device_conf.h: File not found" error.
The solution is to move the data types and functions used in util
sources from conf to util. Some names were adjusted during the move
("virInterface" --> "virNetDevIf", and "VIR_INTERFACE" -->
"VIR_NETDEV_IF")
virNetDevLinkDump should have been in virnetlink.c, but that file
didn't exist yet when the function was created. It didn't really
matter until now - I found that having virnetlink.h included by
virnetdev.h caused build problems when trying to #include virnetdev.h
in a .c file in src/conf (due to missing directory in -I). Rather than
fix that to further institutionalize the incorrect placement of this
one function, this patch moves the function.
The directories we iterate over are unlikely to contain any entries
starting with a dot, other than '.' and '..' which is already skipped
by virDirRead.
Commit b3d069872c added peer address setting to the low level
virNetDevSetIPAddress() function, but ended up causing a segfault in
cases where the caller passed NULL for peer address.
Commit a3510e33d3 fixed the segfault, but managed to cause us to
skip setting the broadcast address when setting an interface's IP
address. The result is that the broadcast address is 0.0.0.0 for all
libvirt-created bridges (and interfaces in lxc containers with IP
addresses set by libvirt).
This was reported on the mailing list:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-June/msg00027.html
but I was too busy to investigate at the time. I found it by accident
today while refactoring virNetDevSetIPAddress(). Since this regression
is present in the 1.3.5 release, I'm sending the bugfix as a separate
patch from my larger refactoring patchset.
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.
virSocketAddrFormat() wants a single pointer, not a double pointer.
Fixes the following compilation error on FreeBSD:
util/virnetdev.c:1448:72: error: incompatible pointer types passing
'virSocketAddr **' to parameter of type 'const virSocketAddr *';

virNetDevIsVirtualFunction() returns 1 if the interface is a
virtual function, 0 if it isn't and -1 on error. This means that,
despite the name suggesting otherwise, using it as a predicate is
not correct.
Fix two callers that were doing so adding an explicit check on
the return value.
I noticed in a log file that we had failed to set a MAC address. The
log said which interface we were trying to set, but didn't give the
offending MAC address, which could have been useful in determining the
source of the problem. This patch modifies all three places in the
code that set MAC addresses to report the failed MAC as well as
interface.

A PCI device may have the capability to setup virtual functions (VFs)
but have them currently all disabled. Prior to this patch, if that was
the case the the node device XML for the device wouldn't report any
virtual_functions capability.
With this patch, if a file called "sriov_totalvfs" is found in the
device's sysfs directory, its contents will be interpreted as a
decimal number, and that value will be reported as "maxCount" in a
capability element of the device's XML, e.g.:
<capability type='virtual_functions' maxCount='7'/>
This will be reported regardless of whether or not any VFs are
currently enabled for the device.
NB: sriov_numvfs (the number of VFs currently active) is also
available in sysfs, but that value is implied by the number of items
in the list that is inside the capability element, so there is no
reason to explicitly provide it as an attribute.
sriov_totalvfs and sriov_numvfs are available in kernels at least as far
back as the 2.6.32 that is in RHEL6.7, but in the case that they
simply aren't there, libvirt will behave as it did prior to this patch
- no maxCount will be displayed, and the virtual_functions capability
will be absent from the device's XML when 0 VFs are enabled.
Use virNetDevSetupControl instead of open coding using socket(AF_LOCAL...)
and clearing virIfreq.
By using virNetDevSetupControl, the socket is then opened using
AF_PACKET which requires being privileged (effectively root) in
order to complete successfully. Since that's now a requirement,
then the ioctl(SIOCETHTOOL) should not fail with EPERM, thus it
is removed from the filtered listed of failure codes.

Since the SIOCETHTOOL ioctl only works for privileged daemons, if called
when not root, then virNetDevGetFeatures will VIR_DEBUG a message and
return 0 as if the functions were not available for the architecture.
This effectively returns an empty bitmap indicating no features available.

In commit id 'c9027d8f4' when updating the posted patch to generate
a bitmap instead of an array of named feature bits, adjustment of
the args was missed
Recently reverted commit id '6f2a0198' showed a need to add extra
comments when dealing with filtering of potential "non-issues".
Scanning through upstream patch postings indicates early on the
reasons for the filtering of specific ioctl failures were provided;
however, when converted from causing an error to VIR_DEBUG's the
reasons were missing. A future read/change of the code incorrectly
assumed they could or should be removed.
This reverts commit 6f2a0198e9.
This commit removed error reporting from virNetDevSendEthtoolIoctl
pushing responsibility onto the callers. This is wrong, however,
since virNetDevSendEthtoolIoctl calls virNetDevSetupControl
which can still report errors. So as a result virNetDevSendEthtoolIoctl
may or may not report errors depending on which bit of it fails, and as
a result callers now overwrite some errors.
It also introduced a regression causing unprivileged libvirtd to
spew error messages to the console due to inability to query the
NIC features, an error which was previously ignored.

Rather than "if (virNetDevFeatureAvailable(ifname, &cmd))" change the
success criteria to "if (virNetDevFeatureAvailable(ifname, &cmd) == 1)".
The called helper returns -1 on failure, 0 on not found, and 1 on found.

This was originally set to 5 seconds, but times of 5.5 to 7 seconds
were experienced. Since it's an arbitrary number intended to prevent
an infinite hang, having it a bit too high won't hurt anything, and 20
seconds looks to be adequate (i.e. I think/hope we don't need to make
it tunable in libvirtd.conf)
If DAD not finished in 5 seconds, user will get an
unknown error like this:

Build on non-Linux fails because the virNetDevWaitDadFinish() stub
has unused parameters. Fix by adding appropriate ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED
for these parameters.
Pushing under build-breaker rule.
commit db488c79 assumed that dnsmasq would complete IPv6 DAD before
daemonizing, but in reality it doesn't wait, which creates problems
when libvirt's bridge driver sets the matching "dummy tap device" to
IFF_DOWN prior to DAD completing.
This patch waits for DAD completion by periodically polling the kernel
using netlink to check whether there are any IPv6 addresses assigned
to bridge which have a 'tentative' state (if there are any in this
state, then DAD hasn't yet finished). After DAD is finished, execution
continues. To avoid an endless hang in case something was wrong with
the kernel's DAD, we wait a maximum of 5 seconds.
These functions were made static as a part of commit cbfe38c since
they were no longer called from outside virnetdev.c. We once again
need to call them from another file, so this patch makes them once
again public.
This fixes the crash described here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-August/msg00162.html
In short, we were calling ioctl(SIOCETHTOOL) pointing to a too-short
object that was a local on the stack, resulting in the memory past the
end of the object being overwritten. This was because the struct used
by the ETHTOOL_GFEATURES command of SIOCETHTOOL ends with a 0-length
array, but we were telling ethtool that it could use 2 elements on the
array.
The fix is to allocate the necessary memory with VIR_ALLOC_VAR(),
including the extra length needed for a 2 element array at the end.
There is no guarantee that an enum start it mapped onto a value
of zero. However, we are guaranteed that enum items are
consecutive integers. Moreover, it's a pity to define an enum to
avoid using magical constants but then using them anyway.
