2011-11-01net: tap-linux: Fix unhelpful error messageLuiz Capitulino1-1/+5
I'm getting: could not configure /dev/net/tun (tap%d): Operation not permitted When the ioctl() fails, ifr.ifr_name will most likely not be overwritten. So we better only use it when ifname contains a string. Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2011-02-01tap: safe sndbuf defaultMichael S. Tsirkin1-4/+9
With current sndbuf default value, a blocked target guest can prevent another guest from transmitting any packets. While current sndbuf value (1M) is reported to help some UDP based workloads, the default should be safe (0). Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2010-09-07tap: add APIs for vnet header lengthMichael S. Tsirkin1-0/+29
Add APIs to control host header length. First user will be vhost-net. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
2010-06-22give some useful error messages when tap openMichael Tokarev1-3/+5
In net/tap-linux.c, when manipulation of /dev/net/tun fails, it prints (with fprintf) something like this: warning: could not open /dev/net/tun: no virtual network emulation this has 2 issues: 1) it is not a warning really, it's a fatal error (kvm exits after that), 2) there's no indication as of what's actually wrong: printing errno there is helpful. The patch below removes the "warning" prefix, uses %m (since it's linux, %m is available as format modifier), and changes fprintf() to %qemu_error(). Now it prints something like this instead: could not configure /dev/net/tun: Device or resource busy (there are 2 messages like that in the same function) This fixes Debian bug #578154, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=578154 Signed-off-by: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2010-03-16error: Replace qemu_error() by error_report()Markus Armbruster1-4/+4
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.

2009-12-03net: check for TUNSETOFFLOAD support before trying to enable offload featuresPierre Riteau1-0/+5
This avoids the "TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl() failed: Invalid argument" message on kernels without TUNSETOFFLOAD support. Signed-off-by: Pierre Riteau <Pierre.Riteau@irisa.fr> Signed-off-by: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2009-12-03net: fix TAP networking on host kernels without IFF_VNET_HDR supportPierre Riteau1-0/+2
vnet_hdr is initialized at 1 by default. We need to reset it to 0 if the kernel doesn't support IFF_VNET_HDR. Signed-off-by: Pierre Riteau <Pierre.Riteau@irisa.fr> Signed-off-by: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
