[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1463909] [NEW] virtio: networking not working when guest's eth0 is not in promiscuous mode |

Public bug reported:
We are unable to get http responses from qemu guest machine until
interface inside qemu guest machine is in promiscuous mode.
Our configuration is following:
<pre>
------------------------
| Host server |
------------------------
| /eth1.10(IP1) |
LAN2-|-eth1-eth1.11(IP2) |
| \eth1.12(IP3) |
| |
LAN1-|-eth0(IP4) <IP[1-4]> |
| / |
| iptables[nat] |
| / ________________
| | | Guest system |
| tap0-|-eth0(guestIP)|
------------------------
</pre>
Host server is connected to LAN1 with eth0 and to LAN2 with eth1. eth0
has IP4 assigned. eth1 is connected to the switch in trunk mode that has
vlans 10, 11 and 12 allows. Thus in Host systems we have eth1.10,
eth1.11 and eth1.12 interfaces with IP1, IP2 and IP3 respectfully.
Inside Host systems we start Guest system using following command:
> qemu-system-x86_64 -m 3G -nographic -monitor stdio -serial none
-kernel /vmlinuz -initrd /webiface.gz -hda /data/data.img -net
nic,model=virtio,macaddr=fe:32:31:30:29:00 -net
tap,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no
tap interface was created with commands:
> ip tuntap add dev tap0 mode tap user user
>
> ip addr add 172.31.31.253/30 brd + dev tap0
> ip link set dev tap0 up
Routing for packets comming from LAN1 or LAN2 to guest system is identical and
is done by iptables DNAT target:
> iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d <IP1> -p tcp --dport 8580 -j DNAT
> --to-destination <guest IP>:80
...
> iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d <IP4> -p tcp --dport 8580 -j DNAT
> --to-destination <guest IP>:80
Now the problem is that requests for @http://<IP4>:8580/index.html@
stall, until we put eth0 on Guest system in promiscuous mode. Note this
concerns only packets coming through eth0 on Host system. Requests for
@http://<IP[1-3]>:8580/index.html@ work as the should!
It is really strange how promiscuous mode of the interface on guest
system affects the way it receives packets. So we did further debuging
with tcpdump.
For interesting (broken) case when packets arrive through eth0 of Host
system, using tcpdump, we found that syn requests are coming out at tap0
interface:
> 12:40:11.049007 c2:30:61:72:8d:14 > fe:32:31:30:29:00, ethertype IPv4
(0x0800), length 74: <IP>.45661 > <guestIP>.80: Flags [S], seq
1998302974, win 29200, options [mss 1352,sackOK,TS val 3509464 ecr
0,nop,wscale 7], length 0
but no packet arrives on guest's eth0 interface! We confirmed that with
tcpdump running with promiscuous mode disabled. So packets gone out from
tap0 but never archived eth0 of the Guest system! Of course, once we run
tcpdump without -p, guest interface will run in promiscuous mode and all
packets/traffic will be visible on Guest also and everything works as
expected.
ifconfig shows no drops on tap0 interface. I've check MAC addresses of
tap0(c2:30:61:72:8d:14) and guest's eth0 (fe:32:31:30:29:00). I don't
see problem here.
We've tried with eth1 interface not configured (no vlans) and still have
this problem.

and QEMU emulator version 1.0 (qemu-kvm-1.0), Copyright (c) 2003-2008

Googling we found that similar problem was reported with much older system (but
very few details unfortunately):

We failed to find any confirmation that this problem was fixed in newer
version. Is this a known bug? Any suggestions how to debug?
