2013-02-01tap: unbreak -netdev tap,fd=XAnthony Liguori
The multiqueue patch series broke -netdev tap,fd=X which manifests as libvirt not being able to start a guest. This was because it passed NULL for the netdev name which results in an anonymous netdev device regardless of what the user specified.

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: support enabling or disabling a queueJason Wang
This patch introduce a new bit - enabled in TAPState which tracks whether a specific queue/fd is enabled. The tap/fd is enabled during initialization and could be enabled/disabled by tap_enalbe() and tap_disable() which calls platform specific helpers to do the real work. Polling of a tap fd can only done when the tap was enabled. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

2012-10-08net: consolidate NetClientState header files into onePaolo Bonzini
This patch doesn't seem much useful alone, I must admit. However, it makes sense as part of the upcoming directory reorganization, where I want to have include/net/tap.h as the net<->hw interface for tap. Then having both net/tap.h and include/net/tap.h does not work. "Fixed" by moving all the init functions to a single header file net/clients.h. The patch also adopts a uniform style for including net/*.h files from net/*.c, without the net/ path.

2012-08-01net: Rename VLANClientState to NetClientStateStefan Hajnoczi
The vlan feature is no longer part of net core. Rename VLANClientState to NetClientState because net clients are not explicitly associated with a vlan at all, instead they have a peer net client to which they are connected.

2012-07-23convert net_client_init() to OptsVisitorLaszlo Ersek
The net_client_init() prototype is kept intact. Based on "is_netdev", the QemuOpts-rooted QemuOpt-list is parsed as a Netdev or a NetLegacy. The original meat of net_client_init() is moved to and simplified in net_client_init1(): Fields not common between -net and -netdev are clearly separated. Getting the name for the init functions is cleaner: Netdev::id is mandatory, and all init functions handle a NULL NetLegacy::name. NetLegacy::vlan explicitly depends on -net (see below). Verifying the "type=" option for -netdev can be turned into a switch. Format validation with qemu_opts_validate() can be removed because the visitor covers it. Relatedly, the "net_client_types" array is reduced to an array of init functions that can be directly indexed by opts->kind. (Help text is available in the schema JSON.) The outermost negation in the condition around qemu_find_vlan() was flattened, because it expresses the dependent code's requirements more clearly. VLAN lookup is avoided if there's no init function to pass the VLAN to. Whenever the value of type=... is needed, we substitute NetClientOptionsKind_lookup[kind]. The individual init functions are not converted yet, thus the original QemuOpts instance is passed transparently. v1->v2: - NetLegacy::name is optional. Tracked it through all init functions: they all handle a NULL name. Updated commit message accordingly. v2->v3: - NetLegacy::id is allowed and takes precedence over NetLegacy::name.

2012-02-01Add support for net bridgeCorey Bryant
The most common use of -net tap is to connect a tap device to a bridge. This requires the use of a script and running qemu as root in order to allocate a tap device to pass to the script. This model is great for portability and flexibility but it's incredibly difficult to eliminate the need to run qemu as root. The only really viable mechanism is to use tunctl to create a tap device, attach it to a bridge as root, and then hand that tap device to qemu. The problem with this mechanism is that it requires administrator intervention whenever a user wants to create a guest. By essentially writing a helper that implements the most common qemu-ifup script that can be safely given cap_net_admin, we can dramatically simplify things for non-privileged users. We still support existing -net tap options as a mechanism for advanced users and backwards compatibility. Currently, this is very Linux centric but there's really no reason why it couldn't be extended for other Unixes. A typical invocation would be similar to one of the following: qemu linux.img -net bridge -net nic,model=virtio qemu linux.img -net tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper" -net nic,model=virtio qemu linux.img -netdev bridge,id=hn0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1 qemu linux.img -netdev tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper",id=hn0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1 The default bridge that we attach to is br0. The thinking is that a distro could preconfigure such an interface to allow out-of-the-box bridged networking. Alternatively, if a user wants to use a different bridge, a typical invocation would be simliar to one of the following: qemu linux.img -net bridge,br=qemubr0 -net nic,model=virtio qemu linux.img -net tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper --br=qemubr0" -net nic,model=virtio qemu linux.img -netdev bridge,br=qemubr0,id=hn0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1 qemu linux.img -netdev tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper --br=qemubr0",id=hn0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1 Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Richa Marwaha <rmarwah@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Corey Bryant <coreyb@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2011-12-15network scripts: don't block SIGCHLD before forkingMichael Roth
This patch fixes a bug where child processes of launch_script() can misbehave due to SIGCHLD being blocked. In the case of `sudo`, this causes a permanent hang. Previously a SIGCHLD handler was added to reap fork_exec()'d zombie processes by calling waitpid(-1, ...). This required other fork()/waitpid() callers to temporarilly block SIGCHILD to avoid having the final wait status being intercepted by the SIGCHLD handler: 7c3370d4fe3fa6cda8655f109e4659afc8ca4269 Since then, the qemu_add_child_watch() interface was added to allow registration of such processes and reap only from that specific set of PIDs: 4d54ec7898bd951007cb6122d5315584bd41d0c4 As a result, we can now avoid blocking SIGCHLD in launch_script(), so drop that behavior.

Right now, downscript is not invoked reliably. If you execute 'quit' from the monitor, it won't be invoked. This fixes that by converting tap to use an exit_notifier to execute the downscript.

2009-11-09tap: drain queue in tap_send()Mark McLoughlin
Okay, let's try re-enabling the drain-entire-queue behaviour, with a difference - before each subsequent packet, use qemu_can_send_packet() to check that we can send it. This is similar to how we check before polling the tap fd and avoids having to drop a packet if the receiver cannot handle it. This patch should be a performance improvement since we no longer have to go through the mainloop for each packet.

2009-11-09tap: disable draining queue in one goMark McLoughlin
If qemu_send_packet_async() returns zero, it means the packet has been queued and the sent callback will be invoked once it has been flushed. This is only possible where the NIC's receive() handler returns zero and promises to notify the networking core that room is available in its queue again. In the case where the receive handler does not have this capability (and its queue fills up) it returns -1 and the networking core does not queue up the packet. This condition is indicated by a -1 return from qemu_send_packet_async(). Currently, tap handles this condition simply by dropping the packet. It should do its best to avoid getting into this situation by checking such NIC's have room for a packet before copying the packet from the tap interface. tap_send() used to achieve this by only reading a single packet before returning to the mainloop. That way, tap_can_send() is called before reading each packet. tap_send() was changed to completely drain the tap interface queue without taking into account the situation where the NIC returns an error and the packet is not queued. Let's start fixing this by reverting to the previous behaviour of reading one packet at a time.
