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.

2011-02-01vhost: force vhost off for non-MSI guestsmst@redhat.com
When MSI is off, each interrupt needs to be bounced through the io thread when it's set/cleared, so vhost-net causes more context switches and higher CPU utilization than userspace virtio which handles networking in the same thread. We'll need to fix this by adding level irq support in kvm irqfd, for now disable vhost-net in these configurations. Added a vhostforce flag to force vhost-net back on. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2010-11-16tap: make set_offload a nop after netdev cleanupMichael S. Tsirkin
virtio-net expects set_offload to succeed after peer cleanup. Since we don't have an open fd anymore, make it so. Fixes warning about the failure of offload setting. Reported-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
2010-11-16tap: clear vhost_net backend on cleanupMichael S. Tsirkin
Frontends calling tap_get_vhost_net get an invalid pointer after the peer backend has been deleted. Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> reports this leading to a crash in ack_features when we remove the vhost-net bakend of a virtio nic. The fix is simply to clear the backend pointer.

2010-03-19tap: invoke downscript when we exit abnormallyAnthony Liguori
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. In this case, allowing an exit notifier to include state is critically important for the conversion. 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.

2010-02-19net: Fix bogus "Warning: vlan 0 with no nics" with -deviceMarkus Armbruster
net_check_clients() prints this when an VLAN has host devices, but no guest devices. It uses VLANState members nb_guest_devs and nb_host_devs to keep track of these devices. However, -device does not update nb_guest_devs, only net_init_nic() does that, for -net nic. Check the VLAN clients directly, and remove the counters.

2010-01-08net: add API to disable/enable pollingMichael S. Tsirkin

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.

2009-10-30Unbreak tap compilation on OS XAlexander Graf
Currently compiling the tap sources breaks on Mac OS X. This is because of: 1) tap-linux.h requiring Linux includes 2) typos 3) missing #includes This patch adds what's necessary to compile tap happily on Mac OS X. I haven't tested if using tap actually works, but I don't think that's a major issue as that code was probably seriously untested before already. I didn't split the patch, because it's only a few lines of code and splitting is probably not worth the effort here.
