v2:
changes include:
- feedback from stefan for 802.1Qbg. Code now prints an error if virtualport is
specified for 802.1Qbg on an interface of type hostdev
- feedback from laine for non-sriov devices. Interface type hostdev for non-sriov devices
is not supported.
v1:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-March/msg00015.html
This patch series is based on laines patches to support <interface
type='hostdev'>.
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-February/msg01126.html
It support to set mac and port profile on an interface of type hostdev.
* If virtualport is specified, the existing virtual port functions are
called to set mac, vlan and port profile.
* If virtualport is not specified and device is a sriov virtual function,
- mac is set using IFLA_VF_MAC
* If virtualport is not specified and device is a non-sriov virtual function,
- mac is set using existing SIOCGIFHWADDR (This requires that the
netdev be present on the host before starting the VM)
This series implements the below :
01/4 pci: Add two new pci util pciDeviceGetVirtualFunctionInfo and
pciConfigAddressToSysfsFile
02/4 virtnetdev: Add support functions for mac and portprofile associations on a hostdev
03/4 virnetdevvportprofile: Changes to support portprofiles for hostdevs
04/4 qemu_hostdev: Add support to install port profile and mac address on hostdev
Stefan Berger is CC'ed for 802.1Qbg changes in patch 03/4. Current code for
802.1Qbg uses macvtap ifname. And for network interfaces with type=hostdev a
macvtap ifname does not exist. This patch just adds a null check for ifname in
802.1Qbg port profile handling code.
