SmartNIC DPUs may not expose some privileged eswitch operations to the hypervisor hosts. For example, this happens with Bluefield devices running in the ECPF (default) mode for security reasons. While VF MAC address programming is possible via an RTM_SETLINK operation, trying to set a VLAN ID in the same operation will fail with EPERM. The equivalent ip link commands below provide an illustration: 1. This works: sudo ip link set enp130s0f0 vf 2 mac de:ad:be:ef:ca:fe 2. Setting (or clearing) a VLAN fails with EPERM: sudo ip link set enp130s0f0 vf 2 vlan 0 RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted 3. This is what Libvirt attempts to do today (when trying to clear a VF VLAN at the same time as programming a VF MAC). sudo ip link set enp130s0f0 vf 2 vlan 0 mac de:ad:be:ef:ca:fe RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted If setting an explicit VLAN ID results in an EPERM, clearing a VLAN (setting a VLAN ID to 0) can be handled gracefully by ignoring the EPERM error with the rationale being that if we cannot set this state in the first place, we cannot clear it either. In order to keep explicit clearing of VLAN ID working as it used to be passing a NULL pointer for VLAN ID is used.

libvirt library code README
===========================
The directory provides the bulk of the libvirt codebase. Everything
except for the libvirtd daemon and client tools. The build uses a
large number of libtool convenience libraries - one for each child
directory, and then links them together for the final libvirt.so,
although some bits get linked directly to libvirtd daemon instead.
The files directly in this directory are supporting the public API
entry points & data structures.
There are two core shared modules to be aware of:
* util/ - a collection of shared APIs that can be used by any
code. This directory is always in the include path
for all things built
* conf/ - APIs for parsing / manipulating all the official XML
files used by the public API. This directory is only
in the include path for driver implementation modules
* vmx/ - VMware VMX config handling (used by esx/ and vmware/)
Then there are the hypervisor implementations:
* bhyve - bhyve - The BSD Hypervisor
* esx/ - VMware ESX and GSX support using vSphere API over SOAP
* hyperv/ - Microsoft Hyper-V support using WinRM
* lxc/ - Linux Native Containers
* openvz/ - OpenVZ containers using cli tools
* qemu/ - QEMU / KVM using qemu CLI/monitor
* remote/ - Generic libvirt native RPC client
* test/ - A "mock" driver for testing
* vbox/ - Virtual Box using native API
* vmware/ - VMware Workstation and Player using the vmrun tool
* xen/ - Xen using hypercalls, XenD SEXPR & XenStore
Finally some secondary drivers that are shared for several HVs.
Currently these are used by LXC, OpenVZ, QEMU and Xen drivers.
The ESX, Hyper-V, Remote, Test & VirtualBox drivers all
implement the secondary drivers directly
* cpu/ - CPU feature management
* interface/ - Host network interface management
* network/ - Virtual NAT networking
* nwfilter/ - Network traffic filtering rules
* node_device/ - Host device enumeration
* secret/ - Secret management
* security/ - Mandatory access control drivers
* storage/ - Storage management drivers
Since both the hypervisor and secondary drivers can be built as
dlopen()able modules, it is *FORBIDDEN* to have build dependencies
between these directories. Drivers are only allowed to depend on
the public API, and the internal APIs in the util/ and conf/
directories
