The vlan bitmap is migrated, though you'd still need to add vlan filter one by one through ctrl vq commands, correct? AFAIK you can add one filter for one single vlan ID at a time via VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_VLAN_ADD.On Wed, Sep 14, 2022 at 1:33 PM Si-Wei Liu <si-wei.liu@oracle.com> wrote:On 9/14/2022 3:20 AM, Jason Wang wrote:On Fri, Sep 9, 2022 at 4:02 PM Eugenio Perez Martin <eperezma@redhat.com> wrote:On Fri, Sep 9, 2022 at 8:40 AM Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> wrote:On Fri, Sep 9, 2022 at 2:38 PM Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> wrote:On Wed, Sep 7, 2022 at 12:36 AM Eugenio Pérez <eperezma@redhat.com> wrote:To have enabled vlans at device startup may happen in the destination of a live migration, so this configuration must be restored.

I wonder if it's simply to let all vlan traffic go by disabling CTRL_VLAN feature at vDPA layer.The guest will not be able to recover that vlan configuration.Spec said it's best effort and we actually don't do this for vhost-net/user for years and manage to survive.I thought there's a border line between best effort and do nothing. ;-)I also think it is worth at least trying to migrate it for sure. For MAC there may be too many entries, but VLAN should be totally manageable (and the information is already there, the bitmap is actually being migrated).
If I understand the intended behavior (from QEMU implementation) correctly, when VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VLAN is negotiated it would start with all VLANs filtered (meaning only untagged traffic can be received and traffic with VLAN tag would get dropped). However, if VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VLAN is not negotiated, all traffic including untagged and tagged can be received.I think that the reason this could survive is really software implementation specific - say if the backend doesn't start with VLAN filtering disabled (meaning allow all VLAN traffic to pass) then it would become a problem. This won't be a problem for almost PF NICs but may be problematic for vDPA e.g. VF backed VDPAs.I'd say the driver would expect all vlan filters to be cleared after a reset, isn't it?
Here the spec is totally ruled by the (software artifact of) implementation rather than what a real device is expected to work with VLAN rx filters. Are we sure we'd stick to this flawed device implementation? The guest driver seems to be agnostic with this broken spec behavior so far, and I am afraid it's an overkill to add another feature bit or ctrl command to VLAN filter in clean way.The spec doesn't explicitly say anything about that as far as I see.
If I understand correctly about Jason's proposal, it's a spec extension already to add multiple VLAN IDs in a row. This seems not much different than the device state blob for the resume API idea I just presented in the KVM forum (which also needs to extend the spec in another way)?Another idea is to extend the spec to allow us to accept a bitmap of the vlan ids via a single command, then we will be fine.I'm not sure if adding more ways to configure something is the answer, but I'd be ok to implement it. Another idea is to allow the sending of many CVQ commands in parallel. It shouldn't be very hard to achieve using exposed buffers as ring buffers, and it will short down the start of the devices with many features.In the extreme case, what if guests decide to filter all of the vlans? It means we need MAX_VLAN commands which may exceeds the size of the control virtqueue.Indeed, that's a case where a single flat device state blob would be more efficient for hardware drivers to apply than individual control command messages do.If we're going that route, being able to set a bitmap for vlan filtering (Jason's proposal) seems to solve more issues in the same shot, doesn't it?
struct virtio_mig_cfg_net_ctrl_vlan { struct virtio_mig_state_header hdr; le32 vlans[128]; }; What is additional benefit that makes it able to solve more issues? -Siwei
