Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: allocate network connections sooner during domain startup

VFIO device assignment requires a cgroup ACL to be setup for access to the /dev/vfio/nn "group" device for any devices that will be assigned to a guest. In the case of a host device that is allocated from a pool, it was being allocated during qemuBuildCommandLine(), which is called by qemuProcessStart() *after* the all-encompassing qemuSetupCgroup() is called, meaning that the standard Cgroup ACL setup wasn't catching these devices allocated from pools. One possible solution was to manually add a single ACL down inside qemuBuildCommandLine() when networkAllocateActualDevice() is called, but that has two problems: 1) the function that adds the cgroup ACL requires a virDomainObjPtr, which isn't available in qemuBuildCommandLine(), and 2) we really shouldn't be doing network device setup inside qemuBuildCommandLine() anyway. Instead, I've created a new function called qemuNetworkPrepareDevices() which is called just before qemuPrepareHostDevices() during qemuProcessStart() (explanation of ordering in the comments), i.e. well before the call to qemuSetupCgroup(). To minimize code churn in a patch that will be backported to 1.0.5-maint, qemuNetworkPrepareDevices only does networkAllocateActualDevice() and the bare amount of setup required for type='hostdev network devices. Note that some of the code that was previously needed in qemuBuildCommandLine() is no longer required when networkAllocateActualDevice() is called earlier: * qemuAssignDeviceHostdevAlias() is already done further down in qemuProcessStart(). * qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices() is called by qemuPrepareHostDevices() which is called after qemuNetworkPrepareDevices() in qemuProcessStart(). This new function should be moved into a separate qemu_network.c (or similarly named) file along with qemuPhysIfaceConnect(), qemuNetworkIfaceConnect(), and qemuOpenVhostNet(), and expanded to call those functions as well, then the nnets loop in qemuBuildCommandLine() should be reduced to only build the commandline string. However, this will require storing away an array of tapfd and vhostfd that are needed for the commandline, so I would rather do that in a separate patch and leave this patch at the minimum to fix the bug. --- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 104 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------- src/qemu/qemu_command.h | 4 +- src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 8 ++++ 3 files changed, 67 insertions(+), 49 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_command.c b/src/qemu/qemu_command.c index 144620c..5ce97e8 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_command.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_command.c @@ -457,6 +457,58 @@ qemuOpenVhostNet(virDomainDefPtr def, return 0; } +int +qemuNetworkPrepareDevices(virDomainDefPtr def) +{ + int ret = -1; + int ii; + + for (ii = 0; ii < def->nnets; ii++) { + virDomainNetDefPtr net = def->nets[ii]; + int actualType; + + /* If appropriate, grab a physical device from the configured + * network's pool of devices, or resolve bridge device name + * to the one defined in the network definition. + */ + if (networkAllocateActualDevice(net) < 0) + goto cleanup; + + actualType = virDomainNetGetActualType(net); + if (actualType == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_HOSTDEV && + net->type == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK) { + /* Each type='hostdev' network device must also have a + * corresponding entry in the hostdevs array.
