[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Fix compilation of netmap backend

[Vincenzo Maffione]

This patch series adds some fixes to the netmap net backend. It contains
two changes:
    (1) Fix compilation issue of netmap.c introduced by the reorganization
        of struct NetClientOptions
    (2) Address the FIXME comment that was asking to use error_setg()
        in place of error_report()

  net: netmap: use error_setg_errno() in place of error_report()

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] net: netmap: Fix compilation issue

[Vincenzo Maffione]

Reorganization of struct NetClientOptions caused a compilation failure
of the netmap backend. This patch fixes the issue by properly accessing the
union field.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] net: netmap: use error_setg_errno() in place of error_report()

[Vincenzo Maffione]

This update was required to align netmap backend to the other
net backends in terms of error reporting.

netmap_open() returns 0 on success, -1 on failure.  For better or worse,
we avoid such returns for functions that reports errors via an Error **
parameter.  For an example, see commit 445f116.

Since errp can be null, you can't test *err, but have to use a local
variable, like this:

    netmap_open(&me, &err);
    if (err) {
        error_propagate(errp, err);
        return;
    }

See the big comment in include/qapi/error.h.

I actually like the way you did it, but consistency is more important
than what I like here.

Sure, no problems. I was looking for that commit, but using git blame
didn't work, since there the data structure seems to be part of
autogenerated code.

My fault for not compiling netmap code.  Does it need specific configure
options?

Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] net: netmap: Fix compilation issue

No worries.

It needs --enable-netmap (default is --disable-netmap on linux), and
--extra-cflags=-I/path/to/netmap/sys for netmap API headers.

(netmap code is avaliable here https://github.com/luigirizzo/netmap)

Default-off tends to bit-rot; default-probe is slightly better (compile
if /path/to/netmap/sys is found during configure, otherwise not).  But
not the end of the world.  Thanks for the pointer to the headers. Any
idea if someone is trying to package netmap development headers for Fedora?

The default-off decision was taken at the time when netmap was merged
in (see the
"[PATCH v3] net: Adding netmap network backend" thread).
The qemu ./configure already has support for probing netmap headers,
so we could actually switch to default-on also on linux (like it
happens for freebsd qemu build).

No idea, unfortunately. I personally maintain an AUR package for
Archlinux (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/netmap/), that's all I
know. Having netmap headers packaged in some distributions is
something we were willing to do, but still nothing has been done,
afaik.

As long as netmap isn't packaged in at least one distro we actually
compile-test before merge into master, enabling it automatically won't
do squat for avoiding bitrot.
