[libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] lxc: move wireless PHYs to a network namespace

The 802.11 interfaces can not be moved by themselves, their Phy has to move too. If there are other interfaces, they have to move too -- hopefully it's not too confusing. This is a less-invasive alternative to defining a new hostdev type for PHYs. --- src/util/virnetdev.c | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 31 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/util/virnetdev.c b/src/util/virnetdev.c index ee60f09..df48763 100644 --- a/src/util/virnetdev.c +++ b/src/util/virnetdev.c @@ -584,6 +584,8 @@ int virNetDevSetNamespace(const char *ifname, pid_t pidInNs) { int rc; char *pid = NULL; + char *phy_path = NULL; + const char *argv[] = { "ip", "link", "set", ifname, "netns", NULL, NULL }; @@ -591,6 +593,35 @@ int virNetDevSetNamespace(const char *ifname, pid_t pidInNs) if (virAsprintf(&pid, "%lld", (long long) pidInNs) == -1) return -1; + /* The 802.11 wireless devices only move together with their PHY. */ + if (virNetDevSysfsFile(&phy_path, ifname, "phy80211/name") >= 0) { + int len; + char *phy = NULL; + + len = virFileReadAllQuiet(phy_path, 1024, &phy); + VIR_FREE(phy_path); + + /* Remove a line break. */ + if (len > 0) + phy[len - 1] = '\0'; + + if (len >= 0) { + const char *iwargv[] = { + "iw", "phy", phy, "set", "netns", NULL, NULL + }; + + iwargv[5] = pid; + rc = virRun(iwargv, NULL); + + VIR_FREE(phy); + + if (rc == 0) { + VIR_FREE(pid); + return rc; + } + } + } + argv[5] = pid; rc = virRun(argv, NULL); -- 2.1.0
