Running an instance of the router advertisement daemon (radvd) allows
guests using the virtual network to automatically acquire and IPv6
address and default route. Note that acquiring an address only works
for networks with a prefix length of exactly 64 - radvd is still run
in other circumstances, and still advertises routes, but autoconf will
not work because it requires exactly 64 bits of address info from the
network prefix.
This patch should not be committed as-is, because there is a race
condition with the pidfile that I still need to remedy. Unlike
dnsmasq, radvd does not guarantee that its pidfile has been written
before its original process exits; instead it uses daemon(3) to fork
and exit the parent process in a single step, then writes the pidfile
later. The result is that libvirtd tries to read the pidfile before
it's been created, and ends up not having the proper pid to use when
it later tries to kill radvd.
There are two possible solutions for this:
1) Don't attempt to immediately read the pidfile and store the pid in
memory. Instead, just read the pidfile later when we want to kill
radvd. (This could still lead to a race if networkStart and
networkDestroy were called in tight sequence by some application)
2) Don't allow radvd to daemonize itself. Instead, run it with "-d 1"
(setting a debuglevel > 0 implies that it should not daemonize),
and use virCommand's own pidfile/daemonize functions. (The problem
here is that there's no way to tell radvd to not write a pidfile
itself, so we would end up with 2 pidfiles for each instance. This
isn't a functional problem, just cosmetic).
Another unresolved(?) problem is that the location of the radvd binary
is found by autoconf during the build, so if it's not present on the
build machine. Should this be handled by specfiles on specific distros
adding a BuildRequires for the radvd package, or can/should more be
done in the libvirt tree? (Current behavior is identical to dnsmasq,
so I guess it's acceptable, as long as all the downstream builders are
made aware of the need for radvd for proper IPv6 support).
