2015-06-17tap: add VNET_LE/VNET_BE operationsGreg Kurz
The linux tap and macvtap backends can be told to parse vnet headers according to little or big endian. This is done through the TUNSETVNETLE and TUNSETVNETBE ioctls. This patch brings all the plumbing for QEMU to use these APIs. Signed-off-by: Greg Kurz <gkurz@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2013-02-27tap: set IFF_ONE_QUEUE per defaultPeter Lieven
historically the kernel queues packets two times. once at the device and second in qdisc. this is believed to cause interface stalls if one of these queues overruns. setting IFF_ONE_QUEUE is the default in kernels >= 3.8. the flag is ignored since then. see kernel commit 5d097109257c03a71845729f8db6b5770c4bbedc Signed-off-by: Peter Lieven <pl@kamp.de> Acked-by: Michael S.

2013-02-01tap: multiqueue supportJason Wang
Recently, linux support multiqueue tap which could let userspace call TUNSETIFF for a signle device many times to create multiple file descriptors as independent queues. User could also enable/disabe a specific queue through TUNSETQUEUE. The patch adds the generic infrastructure to create multiqueue taps. To achieve this a new parameter "queues" were introduced to specify how many queues were expected to be created for tap by qemu itself. Alternatively, management could also pass multiple pre-created tap file descriptors separated with ':' through a new parameter fds like -netdev tap,id=hn0,fds="X:Y:..:Z". Multiple vhost file descriptors could also be passed in this way. Each TAPState were still associated to a tap fd, which mean multiple TAPStates were created when user needs multiqueue taps. Since each TAPState contains one NetClientState, with the multiqueue nic support, an N peers of NetClientState were built up. A new parameter, mq_required were introduce in tap_open() to create multiqueue tap fds. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2013-02-01tap: introduce a helper to get the name of an interfaceJason Wang
This patch introduces a helper tap_get_ifname() to get the device name of tap device. This is needed when ifname is unspecified in the command line and qemu were asked to create tap device by itself. In this situation, the name were allocated by kernel, so if multiqueue is asked, we need to fetch its name after creating the first queue. Only linux has this support since it's the only platform that supports multiqueue tap. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2013-02-01tap: add Linux multiqueue supportJason Wang
This patch add basic multiqueue support for Linux. When multiqueue is needed, we will first check whether kernel support multiqueue tap before creating more queues. Two new functions tap_fd_enable() and tap_fd_disable() were introduced to enable and disable a specific queue. Since the multiqueue is only supported in Linux, return error on other platforms.

Move public headers to include/net, and leave private headers in net/. Put the virtio headers in include/net/tap.h, removing the multiple copies that existed. Leave include/net/tap.h as the interface for NICs, and net/tap_int.h as the interface for OS-specific parts of the tap backend. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2012-12-12tap: reset vnet header size on openMichael S. Tsirkin
For tap, we currently assume the vnet header size is 10 (the default value) but that might not be the case if tap is persistent and has been used by qemu previously. To fix, set vnet header size correctly on open. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

2010-06-22give some useful error messages when tap openMichael Tokarev
In net/tap-linux.c, when manipulation of /dev/net/tun fails, it prints (with fprintf) something like this: warning: could not open /dev/net/tun: no virtual network emulation this has 2 issues: 1) it is not a warning really, it's a fatal error (kvm exits after that), 2) there's no indication as of what's actually wrong: printing errno there is helpful. The patch below removes the "warning" prefix, uses %m (since it's linux, %m is available as format modifier), and changes fprintf() to %qemu_error(). Now it prints something like this instead: could not configure /dev/net/tun: Device or resource busy (there are 2 messages like that in the same function) This fixes Debian bug #578154, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=578154 Signed-off-by: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2010-03-16error: Replace qemu_error() by error_report()Markus Armbruster
error_report() terminates the message with a newline. Strip it it from its arguments. This fixes a few error messages lacking a newline: net_handle_fd_param()'s "No file descriptor named %s found", and tap_open()'s "vnet_hdr=1 requested, but no kernel support for IFF_VNET_HDR available" (all three versions). There's one place that passes arguments without newlines intentionally: load_vmstate(). Fix it up.
