Re: [PATCH v4 0/4] iproute2 bridge vlan support

I have incorporated Laine's feedback and added Reviewed-by tags. I also noticed that I hadn't updated the patch series description, so I updated it to reflect the change to using netlink, for posterity.

Description ----------- The iproute2 bridge command supports the capability for VLAN filtering that allows each interface connected to a standard linux bridge to be configured to use one or more VLANs. For simple setups, this capability is enough to allow virtual machines or containers to be put onto separate VLANs without creating multiple bridges and VLANs on the host. The first patch adds a new function virNetDevBridgeVlanFilterSet that allows a VLAN filter to be added or removed from an interface associated with a bridge. The second patch adds virNetDevBridgeSetupVlans that will, given a virNetDevVlan structure, call virNetDevBridgeVlanFilterSet to apply the required VLAN filtering for the given interface. The third patch adjusts the domain and network validation to permit standard linux bridges to allow VLAN configuration and updates calls to virNetDevBridgeAddPort to pass the VLAN configuration. The fourth patch updates documentation to match the new capability. Changes since v3 ---------------- - Update patch series description. - Fix coding style. - Add G_GNUC_UNUSED annotation to virNetDevBridgeAddPort for MacOS. Changes since v2 ---------------- - Convert to use netlink rather than executing bridge vlan commands. - Add unsupported on this platform error message on FreeBSD. Changes since v1 ---------------- - Fix bug in virNetDevSetupVlans where bridge port has no native vlan. - Update bridge network validation to permit vlan configuration. - Update documentation to match the functionality. - Tweak some of the commit descriptions for clarity. Usage example ------------- Configure the host with systemd-networkd as follows: /etc/systemd/network/br0.netdev (br0.network not shown) [NetDev] Name=br0 Kind=bridge MACAddress=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx [Bridge] VLANFiltering=on /etc/systemd/network/eno1.network [Match] Name=eno1 [Network] Bridge=br0 [Link] MTUBytes=9000 [BridgeVLAN] VLAN=40 [BridgeVLAN] VLAN=60 Then add <vlan> tags into the lxc or qemu config: lxc interface definition: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <vlan> <tag id='40'/> </vlan> </interface> qemu interface definition: <interface type='network'> <mac address='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'/> <source network='br0'/> <vlan> <tag id='60'/> </vlan> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </interface> Then, after starting them, you will see the following $ sudo bridge vlan port vlan-id eno1 1 PVID Egress Untagged 40 60 br0 1 PVID Egress Untagged vnet0 60 PVID Egress Untagged vnet1 40 PVID Egress Untagged Regards, Leigh Brown (4): util: add netlink bridge vlan filtering util: Add vlan support to virNetDevBridgeAddPort Enable vlan support for standard linux bridges docs: standard linux bridges now support vlans docs/formatdomain.rst | 37 +++++++++--------- docs/formatnetwork.rst | 45 +++++++++++----------- src/conf/domain_validate.c | 3 +- src/lxc/lxc_process.c | 2 +- src/network/bridge_driver.c | 13 ++++--- src/util/virnetdevbridge.c | 75 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- src/util/virnetdevbridge.h | 4 +- src/util/virnetdevtap.c | 2 +- src/util/virnetlink.c | 66 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/util/virnetlink.h | 7 ++++ 10 files changed, 201 insertions(+), 53 deletions(-)
