Not a problem with your patch, per se, but we really should be using the
FSF-preferred form of LGPLv2+ boilerplate that uses a URL rather than a
street address (that's a global cleanup to all of libvirt).


Will fix it.

Needs indentation, to pass 'make syntax-check' if cppi is installed.


Of course I have cppi installed but 'make syntax-check' doesn't seem to check these files.

Why 'const char *'?  Are we always going to point ifname to someone
else's (static) storage?  Or are we going to strdup() our own copy, in
which case this should be 'char *', not 'const char *', as a hint that
we own the string?  (Throughout the struct).

Right, this one should not be 'const'.

Hmm, wondering if src/util/virmacaddr.h should typedef a MAC address.
[And while thinking about that, I just noticed that virMacAddrCompare
takes 'const char *', but virMacAddrFormat takes 'const unsigned char
*', so we aren't very consistent on whether we are using normal or
unsigned char for mac addrs.]

The compare function is ok -- it compares the two MAC addresses by string (not binary).


So I'll introduce this typedef here

typedef unsigned char virMacAddr[VIR_MAC_BUFLEN];

but won't go into the API calls' signatures because that will require a lot more work.

+            unsigned short ev_type;
+            unsigned char  ev_data[0];
Is a zero-length member really C99 compliant, or it is only a gcc extension?


C99 seems to support [] rather than the [0]. So I'll adapt it to C99 but also will drop this VLAN part here.

const? Is this really a write-once structure?


Yes, the rate is assigned once during structure initialization. At least for now it is a constant.

Again, if we malloc filter, this should be 'char *', not 'const char *'.


The filter is hard-coded.

Why is this const?

Also this one we set once at structure initialization time.

You are not guaranteed that thread->thread can be converted cleanly to
an integral type; this smells like we are violating type encapsulation.
  I'm worried that this cast will provoke compiler warnings on some
platforms.  Can you get by with virThreadSelfID/virThreadID instead?

virThreadID looks like it could be the right function if it didn't truncate the return value.

Or, since those functions are mainly for debugging purposes (and not
guaranteed to be unique on platforms that use 64-bit thread ids), what
are you really trying to do here that we should be supporting in
src/utils/threads.h?


We want to have a unique value associated with a thread in that map. As long as that value is found in the map, the thread knowns it should keep on monitoring the traffic. We can also use 'req' for that since that lives as long as the thread does and so the pointer cannot appear again. Here is what I changed the function to now so the lookup via the hash table works as before:

static char *
virNWFilterSnoopActivate(virNWFilterSnoopReqPtr req)
{
    char *key;

    if (virAsprintf(&key, "%p", req) < 0) {
        virReportOOMError();
        return NULL;
    }
[...]

Should we be using src/util/virtime.h (with milliseconds) rather than
time() (with seconds)?

The DHCP leases work on the granularity of seconds. So in this case seconds are good enough I would say.

+
+    /* free all leases */
+    for (ipl = req->start; ipl; ipl = req->start)
+        virNWFilterSnoopReqLeaseDel(req,&ipl->ipAddress, false);

+    /* free all req data */
+    VIR_FREE(req->ifname);
+    VIR_FREE(req->linkdev);
+    VIR_FREE(req->filtername);
+    virNWFilterHashTableFree(req->vars);
+
+    VIR_FREE(req);
Resource leak; you didn't clean up things like req->lock.


Fixed.

+    }
+

More type-punning.  I hope this doesn't back-fire.


To be safe I now converted all 4 byte accesses to use memcpy(&nwint, ...) and then a subsequent ntohl(nwint).

This is broken for translation.  You did not mark the string "and ether
src" for translation.

It is not meant for a user to read, but this extended filter string will be compiled by the pcap library.

Actually that comparison for source and destination MAC address in the DHCP packet parser can be removed due to the filtering by source and dest. MAC addresses in the pcap library -- no need to do it twice.

+        virNWFilterReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR,
+                               _("pcap_create failed"));
If this is a normal user-visible error, it probably should not be
INTERNAL_ERROR.


It will not be visible by the user.

Is pcap_geterr() thread-safe?  I know that later on you used strerror(),
which is NOT thread-safe, and which violates 'make syntax-check'.


Yes, it is thread-safe. It only accesses a buffer attached to 'handle', where in turn handle is unique to the thread.

I've run out of review time today.  Here's what I had to add to get
'make syntax-check' to be happy, but there are a lot of other cleanups
I've mentioned above.



Thanks for the review so far. I would have caught the make syntax-check stuff myself, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to look into the directory.
