[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/5] Network traffic dumping for -netdev, second try

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/5] Network traffic dumping for -netdev, second try

[Thomas Huth]

The "-net dump" option only works with the "-net" option. So far, it
is not possible to dump network traffic with the "-netdev" option yet.
This patch series now fixes this ugliness by enabling dumping for the
"-netdev" option, too.

Unlike with my first attempt a couple of weeks ago ("net: Enable vlans
and dump for -netdev, too"), this patch series now does not "abuse"
the disliked internal vlan hub infrastructure anymore but introduces
a new, clean "dumpfile=xxx" option for the -netdev parameters instead.

It's likely too late for version 2.4 for this patch series, but it
would be great to get some review feedback for this anyway.

Thomas Huth (5):
  net/dump: Add support for receive_iov function
  net/dump: Move DumpState into NetClientState
  net/dump: Rework net-dump init functions
  net/dump: Add dump option for netdev devices
  qemu options: Add information about dumpfile to help text

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/5] net/dump: Add support for receive_iov function

[Thomas Huth]

Adding a proper receive_iov function to the net dump module. This
will make it easier to support the dump feature for the -netdev
option in later patches.
Also make the receive functions available to the other parts of the
source code so we can later use them for dumping from net.c, too.

I believe we could use iov_copy() here.

Looks like that could do the job, too, thanks for the hint! However, I
also need the total size of bytes in the source iov, so I'd then need to
call iov_size() here, too - but I guess it's ok to loop through the iov
twice since dumping is not really time critical.

Variable length array.  Ignorant question: okay to use VLAs in QEMU?

Before your patch: return the size argument.

Afterwards: return zero.  Sure that's what you want?

When you hit caplen before the last iovec, this produces trailing
iovec[] with zero iov_len instead of shortening the array.  Okay.

Any particular reason to rename dump_cleanup()?  Not that I mind...

I guess so - at least there are already some other spots that use VLAs,
e.g. in tap_receive_iov()

That was of course a stupid bug. Thanks for pointing it out, it will be
fixed in v2!

I'll use iov_copy in the next version, as suggested by Jason - and that
returns the shortened count if necessary.

It's more consistent ... and in v2 I'll also need this function
exported (to make sure that the fd gets closed for -netdev, too), so I
then should rename it anyway.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/5] net/dump: Move DumpState into NetClientState

[Thomas Huth]

We want to provide (almost) every netdev device with the ability
to dump network traffic, so let's embed the DumpState into the
NetClientState structure.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/5] net/dump: Rework net-dump init functions

[Thomas Huth]

Moved the creation of the dump client from net_dump_init() into
net_init_dump(), renamed net_dump_init() to net_dump_state_init()
and make it available for other parts of the source code, too,
so we can use it for the -netdev option in a later patch.

My first impulse was "Is this a bug fix?"  But then I realized that old
code allocated nc after its last error return, whule the new code does
it before some.  Good.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/5] net/dump: Add dump option for netdev devices

[Thomas Huth]

So far it is not possible to dump network traffic with the "-netdev"
option yet - this is only possible with the "-net" option and an
internal "hub".
This patch now fixes this ugliness by adding a proper, generic
dumpfile parameter to the "-netdev" option.

And vhost user is also not suitable here. Looks we can check with

Need consider the case of multiqueue. In this case, more than one
NetClientState was used and needs more thought. Maybe we can start from
only support single queue.

Since dump is not a NetClient, we need close the fd when netdev is deleted.

Why "else if"?  If two interfaces have packet capture enabled then both
should get the full traffic log:

  if (nc->netdev_dump_enabled) {
      net_dump_receive(nc, data, size);
  }
  if (sender->netdev_dump_enabled) {
      net_dump_receive(sender, data, size);
  }

Perhaps dumping should happen after ->receive() has returned size.  If
->receive() returns -1 the packet is discarded, and if it returns 0 the
packet is queued (not delivered yet).

If you dump unconditionally before ->receive() you will see queued
packets dumped multiple times (each time the queue gets flushed).

I think I assumed that only the interfaces that are created with
"-netdev" can get a dump option. So it's either the receiver or the
sender that dumps. If both interfaces would have the dump flag set,
that would mean that two interfaces created with "-netdev" are talking
to each other - and this can not happen, can it?

Good point, thanks, I'll move the code accordingly.

qemu_deliver_packet() doesn't know about -netdev vs -device.  It just
knows about NetClientState and peers.

Avoiding the 2nd memory load probably isn't worth baking the assumption
into this code.

I've now tried this, but then I suddenly get the packets in the wrong
order in the dump file (when using slirp networking), e.g.:

  1   0.000000     10.0.2.2 -> 255.255.255.255 DHCP 590 DHCP Offer
  2   0.000012      0.0.0.0 -> 255.255.255.255 DHCP 342 DHCP Discover

instead of:

  1   0.000000      0.0.0.0 -> 255.255.255.255 DHCP 342 DHCP Discover
  2   0.000035     10.0.2.2 -> 255.255.255.255 DHCP 590 DHCP Offer

Looks like with slirp, the answer is already sent before the initial
receive() function returns?

Any idea how to avoid that issue? If not, I think I'll simply keep the
dump hooks before calling the receive functions.

I see.  So either way the packet capture will be misleading.

Please leave add a comment to the code mentioning that either queued
packets are duplicated or slirp traffic is out-of-order.  That way we
won't forget why the code is the way it is.

net_client_init_fun() creates a netdev with this name.  Since it doesn't
return it, we have to look it up with qemu_find_netdev().  So the answer
to "can this happen?" appears to be no.  assert(!rc)?

I agree, an assert() should be enough here!

Could be squashed into PATCH 4.  Separate patch is of course okay, too.

Overall this approach looks good, let's do it in QEMU 2.5.
