forbid NIC offloads change on the fly using update-device
Last modified: 2015-03-05 02:46:28 EST
Description of problem: Allow NIC offloads change on the fly using update-device Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-1.2.8-5.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-3.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Define a guest, and print the offloads info [root@localhost ~]# virsh dumpxml r7| grep "/interface" -B15 <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:66:70:90'/> <source network='default'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> [root@localhost ~]# virsh start r7 Domain r7 started In host: [root@localhost ~]# ethtool -k vnet0| head -18 Features for vnet0: rx-checksumming: off [fixed] tx-checksumming: on tx-checksum-ipv4: off [fixed] tx-checksum-ip-generic: on tx-checksum-ipv6: off [fixed] tx-checksum-fcoe-crc: off [fixed] tx-checksum-sctp: off [fixed] scatter-gather: on tx-scatter-gather: on tx-scatter-gather-fraglist: on tcp-segmentation-offload: on tx-tcp-segmentation: on tx-tcp-ecn-segmentation: on tx-tcp6-segmentation: on udp-fragmentation-offload: on generic-segmentation-offload: on generic-receive-offload: on In guest: [root@oolong ~]# ethtool -k eth0| head -18 Features for eth0: rx-checksumming: on [fixed] tx-checksumming: on tx-checksum-ipv4: off [fixed] tx-checksum-ip-generic: on tx-checksum-ipv6: off [fixed] tx-checksum-fcoe-crc: off [fixed] tx-checksum-sctp: off [fixed] scatter-gather: on tx-scatter-gather: on tx-scatter-gather-fraglist: on tcp-segmentation-offload: on tx-tcp-segmentation: on tx-tcp-ecn-segmentation: on tx-tcp6-segmentation: on udp-fragmentation-offload: on generic-segmentation-offload: on generic-receive-offload: on 2. Using update-device to update offloads for a NIC [root@localhost ~]# cat nic.xml <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:66:70:90'/> <source network='default'/> <model type='virtio'/> <driver> <host csum='off' gso='off' tso4='off' tso6='off' ecn='off' ufo='off'/> <guest csum='off' tso4='off' tso6='off' ecn='off' ufo='off'/> </driver> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> [root@localhost ~]# virsh update-device r7 nic.xml Device updated successfully 3. Check the results [root@localhost ~]# virsh dumpxml r7| grep "/interface" -B15 <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:66:70:90'/> <source network='default'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> In host: [root@localhost ~]# ethtool -k vnet0| head -18 Features for vnet0: rx-checksumming: off [fixed] tx-checksumming: on tx-checksum-ipv4: off [fixed] tx-checksum-ip-generic: on tx-checksum-ipv6: off [fixed] tx-checksum-fcoe-crc: off [fixed] tx-checksum-sctp: off [fixed] scatter-gather: on tx-scatter-gather: on tx-scatter-gather-fraglist: on tcp-segmentation-offload: on tx-tcp-segmentation: on tx-tcp-ecn-segmentation: on tx-tcp6-segmentation: on udp-fragmentation-offload: on generic-segmentation-offload: on generic-receive-offload: on In guest: [root@oolong ~]# ethtool -k eth0| head -18 Features for eth0: rx-checksumming: on [fixed] tx-checksumming: on tx-checksum-ipv4: off [fixed] tx-checksum-ip-generic: on tx-checksum-ipv6: off [fixed] tx-checksum-fcoe-crc: off [fixed] tx-checksum-sctp: off [fixed] scatter-gather: on tx-scatter-gather: on tx-scatter-gather-fraglist: on tcp-segmentation-offload: on tx-tcp-segmentation: on tx-tcp-ecn-segmentation: on tx-tcp6-segmentation: on udp-fragmentation-offload: on generic-segmentation-offload: on generic-receive-offload: on Actual results: As shown above steps, report update successfully, but do nothing. Expected results: 1. If libvirt does not support offloads on the fly, please reject such action, like [root@localhost ~]# cat nic.xml <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:66:70:90'/> <source network='default'/> <model type='virtio'/> <driver queues='5'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> [root@localhost ~]# virsh update-device r7 nic.xml error: Failed to update device from nic.xml error: Operation not supported: cannot modify virtio network device driver attributes 2. If libvirt supports it, please do it exactly. libvirt should either update it or report an error rather than just ignoring it. Additional info:

Now pushed upstream: commit 4abcf04e7c01ddc1b0a92a4a25d829c51ceadac9 Author: Ján Tomko <jtomko@redhat.com> CommitDate: 2014-10-30 13:32:00 +0100 Reject live update of offloading options https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1155441 git describe: v1.2.10-rc1-20-g4abcf04
