PATCH 1/1 tools: hv: kvp_daemon: make IPv6-only-injection work

Currently IPv6-only-injection doesn't work because the daemon doesn't parse any IPv6 information at all once it finds the dhcp_enabled flag is true.

But according to the Hyper-v host team, the flag is only for IPv4. In the case the host only injects 1 IPv6 address, the dhcp flag is true, but we shouldn't ignore the IPv6 address and we should pass BOOTPROTO=none to the distro-specific script hv_set_ipconfig.

Tested in Ubuntu 14.10 and RHEL7.

I just checked and adding "IPV6ADDR=something" when "BOOTPROTO=dhcp" works for me with both RHEL7 and Fedora21.

Other than that I think bringing distribution specifics into kernel.git is not a good idea. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* format is distro-specific and not all Linux distros support it. Moreover, different distros can treat setting differently. I think it was wrong to stick to this format in kvp daemon from very beginning.

As a solution I would suggest doing the following: kvp daemon writes all received request details in distro-agnostic format in some temporary place and then calls distro-specific script to set things up. Actually, we already have such script: tools/hv/hv_set_ifconfig.sh

As for this bug I propose the following: remove skipping all IPADDR/MASK/... settings in case of "BOOTPROTO=dhcp" and let distro-specific script deal with the rest.

It doesn't work in my side. :-(

Hi Vitally,
I think you're correct:
BOOTPROTO=dhcp + "no IPADDR" + IPV6ADDR in RHEL7's /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 works for me too.

My previous "grep: ... ifcfg-eth0: Permission denied" issue can't repro now. Maybe it's because I messed up the config file somehow(?).

I'll send out a v2 patch according to your suggestion.

Thanks,
-- Dexuan

Currently IPv6-only-injection doesn't work because the daemon doesn't parse any IPv6 information at all once it finds the dhcp_enabled flag is true.

But according to the Hyper-v host team, the flag is only for IPv4. In the case the host only injects 1 IPv6 address, the dhcp flag is true, but we shouldn't ignore the IPv6 address and we should pass BOOTPROTO=none to the distro-specific script hv_set_ipconfig.

Tested in Ubuntu 14.10 and RHEL7.

I just checked and adding "IPV6ADDR=something" when "BOOTPROTO=dhcp"
works for me with both RHEL7 and Fedora21.

Other than that I think bringing distribution specifics into kernel.git is not a good idea. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* format is distro-specific and not all Linux distros support it. Moreover, different distros can treat setting differently. I think it was wrong to stick to this format in kvp daemon from very beginning.

Quoted 8 lines

As a solution I would suggest doing the following: kvp daemon writes all received request details in distro-agnostic format in some temporary place and then calls distro-specific script to set things up. Actually, we already have such script: tools/hv/hv_set_ifconfig.sh

As for this bug I propose the following: remove skipping all IPADDR/MASK/... settings in case of "BOOTPROTO=dhcp" and let distro-specific script deal with the rest.

Vitaly, I agree that we should not have Distro specific code in the upstream kernel. The idea was to create a file in the guest that reflected the data we got from the host and have Distro specific scripts process this file. The current scripts under /hv/tools were meant to be just example scripts that Distro vendors could use as a starting point. I just chose to use RHEL for writing these example scripts.
