These patches set up an event handler for qemu's NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED
event, which is sent whenever a guest makes a change to a network
device's unicast/multicast filter, vlan table, or MAC address (as long
as there has been no previous event of the same type sent for the same
interface without a corresponding query-rx-filter sent back from
qemu).
The handler checks if it is appropriate to respond to the
NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED event (based on device type and configuration)
and takes appropriate action. Currently it checks if the guest
interface has been configured with trustGuestRxFilters='yes' (defaults
to 'no' for security reasons), and if the host side device is
macvtap. If so, and the MAC address on the guest has changed, the MAC
address of the macvtap device is changed to match.
The result of this is that networking from the guest will continue to
work if the mac address of a macvtap-connected network device is
changed from within the guest, as long as trustGuestRxFilters='yes'
(previously changing the MAC address in the guest would break
networking).
Changes from V1:
Responded to review comments from John Ferlan, Amos Kong, and Tom
Krowiak, updated to indicate support was added in 1.2.10 rather than
1.2.9, and added an extra patch which puts a new .txt file in the qemu
directory describing the mechanics of a qemu event handler (lifted
from the commit log message of 5/7)
Laine Stump (7):
conf: add trustGuestRxFilters attribute to network and domain
interface
network: set interface actual trustGuestRxFilters from
network/portgroup
util: define virNetDevRxFilter and basic utility functions
qemu: qemuMonitorQueryRxFilter - retrieve guest netdev rx-filter
qemu: setup infrastructure to handle NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED event
qemu: change macvtap device MAC address in response to
NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED
qemu: add short document on qemu event handlers
