[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] vhost: add interface name to virtio-net struct

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] vhost: add interface name to virtio-net struct

[ciara.loftus]

From: Ciara Loftus <ciara.loftus@intel.com>

This patch fixes the issue whereby when using userspace vhost ports
in the context of vSwitching, the name provided to the hypervisor/QEMU
of the vhost tap device needs to be exposed in the library, in order
for the vSwitch to be able to direct packets to the correct device.
This patch introduces an 'ifname' member to the virtio-net structure
which is populated with the tap device name when QEMU is brought up
with a vhost device.

Seems important to make this new library working in a common scenario.
Applied

If you saying that  sizeof(ifr.ifr_name) would always be equal to sizeof(dev->ifname),
then why  are you doing the comparison above?
"ifr_size <= sizeof(dev->ifname)" would always be true, right?
>From other side, if  if strlen(ifr.ifr_name)  < sizeof(dev->ifname), you wouldn't copy over terminating 0.
I think it needs to be something like:

size = strnlen(ifr.ifr_name, sizeof(ifr.ifr_name)) + 1;
size = RTE_MIN(size, sizeof(dev->ifname));
strncpy(dev->ifname, ifr.ifr_name, size);
dev->ifname[sizeof(dev->ifname) - 1] = 0;

Shouldn't we return a failure if ret is negative (ioclt failed)?

This patch has been applied as hot fix.
If you think you can improve it, please submit a patch.
We are releasing in few hours (probably tomorrow morning).

Who create the tap device?When using vhost-user QEMU will not create it.

Why not use unix domain socket path?

In this patch, for vhost-cuse, the ifname comes from the name of the tap device.
For vhost-user, ifname is the name of the socket path.
