[libvirt] [PATCHv2 13/13] Run radvd for virtual networks with IPv6 addresses

Laine Stump laine at laine.org
Wed Dec 22 18:58:12 UTC 2010


Running an instance of the router advertisement daemon (radvd) allows
guests using the virtual network to automatically acquire an IPv6
address and default route. Note that acquiring an address only works
for networks with a prefix length of exactly 64 - radvd is still run
in other circumstances, and still advertises routes, but autoconf will
not work because it requires exactly 64 bits of address info from the
network prefix.

This patch avoids a race condition with the pidfile by manually
daemonizing radvd rather than allowing it to daemonize itself, then
creating our own pidfile (in addition to radvd's own file, which is
unnecessary). This is accomplished by exec'ing it with "--debug 1" in
the commandline, and using virCommand's features to fork, create a
pidfile, and detach from the newly forked process.
---
Changes in V2:

* prevent radvd from daemonizing itself (by adding "--debug 1" to the args),
  and do it manually with virCommandDaemonize().
* tell radvd to write a pidfile called "<network>-radvd.pid-bin", which we
  will ignore.
* have virCommand create a pidfile for us, since we can be guaranteed there
  will be no race during its creation.
* minor change to he virAsprintf that constructs the configfile name.
* stop the configfile string leak that Eric pointed out.
