2012-02-01Add support for net bridgeCorey Bryant1-0/+3
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>

2011-07-23net: Consistently use qemu_macaddr_default_if_unsetJan Kiszka1-1/+1
Drop the open-coded MAC assignment from net_init_nic and replace it with standard qemu_macaddr_default_if_unset which is also used by qdev. That avoid creating colliding MACs when instantiating NICs via different mechanisms. This change requires to store the MAC as MACAddr in NICInfo, and the remaining nd_table users need to be updated.

2010-10-06net: delay freeing peer host deviceMichael S. Tsirkin1-0/+1
With -netdev, virtio devices present offload features to guest, depending on the backend used. Thus, removing host netdev peer while guest is active leads to guest-visible inconsistency and/or crashes. As a solution, while guest (NIC) peer device exists, we prevent the host peer from being deleted. This patch does this by adding peer_deleted flag in nic state: if host device is going away while guest device is around, set this flag and keep a shell of the host device around for as long as guest device exists. The link is put down so all packets will get discarded. At the moment, management can detect that device deletion is delayed by doing info net. As a next step, we shall add commands that control hotplug/unplug without removing the device, and an event to report that guest has responded to the hotplug event. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2010-04-10net: remove broken net_set_boot_mask() boot device validationEduardo Habkost1-1/+0
There are many problems with net_set_boot_mask(): 1) It is broken when using the device model instead of "-net nic". Example: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -device rtl8139,vlan=0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:82:41:fd,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -net user,vlan=0,name=hostnet0 -vnc 0.0.0.0:0 -boot n Cannot boot from non-existent NIC $ 2) The mask was previously used to set which boot ROMs were supposed to be loaded, but this was changed long time ago. Now all ROM images are loaded, and SeaBIOS takes care of jumping to the right boot entry point depending on the boot settings. 3) Interpretation and validation of the boot parameter letters is done on the machine type code. Examples: PC accepts only a,b,c,d,n as valid boot device letters. mac99 accepts only a,b,c,d,e,f. As a side-effect of this change, qemu-kvm won't abort anymore if using "-boot n" on a machine with no network devices. Checking if the requested boot device is valid is now a task for the BIOS or the machine-type code.

2010-02-19net: Fix bogus "Warning: vlan 0 with no nics" with -deviceMarkus Armbruster1-1/+0
