2010-09-07tap: add APIs for vnet header lengthMichael S. Tsirkin
Add APIs to control host header length. First user will be vhost-net. 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.

2009-12-03net: check for TUNSETOFFLOAD support before trying to enable offload featuresPierre Riteau
This avoids the "TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl() failed: Invalid argument" message on kernels without TUNSETOFFLOAD support. Signed-off-by: Pierre Riteau <Pierre.Riteau@irisa.fr> Signed-off-by: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2009-12-03net: fix TAP networking on host kernels without IFF_VNET_HDR supportPierre Riteau
vnet_hdr is initialized at 1 by default. We need to reset it to 0 if the kernel doesn't support IFF_VNET_HDR. Signed-off-by: Pierre Riteau <Pierre.Riteau@irisa.fr> Signed-off-by: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
