tap: setting error appropriately when calling net_init_tap_one()
If netdev_add tap,id=net0,...,vhost=on failed in net_init_tap_one(), the followed up device_add virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0 will fail too, prints: TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl() failed: Bad file descriptor TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl() failed: Bad file descriptor The reason is that the fd of tap is closed when error occured after calling net_init_tap_one(). The fd should be closed when calling net_init_tap_one failed: - if tap_set_sndbuf() failed - if tap_set_sndbuf() succeeded but vhost failed to open or initialize with vhostforce flag on - with wrong vhost command line parameter The fd should not be closed just because vhost failed to open or initialize but without vhostforce flag. So the followed up device_add can fall back to userspace virtio successfully. Suggested-by: Michael S.
