v2: Add patch from Daniel to check the fd can be used

    I have updated Daniel's patch not to check for EINVAL on TUNGETIFF
    as I think we can avoid this special case because TUNGETIFF
    is available since kernel v2.6.27 (October 2008)
    Moreover I think the code was wrong as it was checking with -EINVAL and
    not EINVAL.

qemu_set_nonblock() checks that the file descriptor can be used and, if
not, crashes QEMU. An assert() is used for that. The use of assert() is
used to detect programming error and the coredump will allow to debug
the problem.

But in the case of the tap device, this assert() can be triggered by
a misconfiguration by the user. At startup, it's not a real problem, but it
can also happen during the hot-plug of a new device, and here it's a
problem because we can crash a perfectly healthy system.

For instance:
 # ip link add link virbr0 name macvtap0 type macvtap mode bridge
 # ip link set macvtap0 up
 # TAP=/dev/tap$(ip -o link show macvtap0 | cut -d: -f1)
 # qemu-system-x86_64 -machine q35 -device pcie-root-port,id=pcie-root-port-0 -monitor stdio 9<> $TAP
 (qemu) netdev_add type=tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,fd=9
 (qemu) device_add driver=virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,bus=pcie-root-port-0
 (qemu) device_del net0
 (qemu) netdev_del hostnet0
 (qemu) netdev_add type=tap,id=hostnet1,vhost=on,fd=9
 qemu-system-x86_64: .../util/oslib-posix.c:247: qemu_set_nonblock: Assertion `f != -1' failed.
 Aborted (core dumped)

To avoid that, check the file descriptor is valid before passing it to
qemu_set_non_block() for "fd=" and "fds=" parameters.

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@redhat.com>

When QEMU sets up a tap based network device backend, it mostly ignores errors
reported from various ioctl() calls it makes, assuming the TAP file descriptor
is valid. This assumption can easily be violated when the user is passing in a
pre-opened file descriptor. At best, the ioctls may fail with a -EBADF, but if
the user passes in a bogus FD number that happens to clash with a FD number that
QEMU has opened internally for another reason, a wide variety of errnos may
result, as the TUNGETIFF ioctl number may map to a completely different command
on a different type of file.

By ignoring all these errors, QEMU sets up a zombie network backend that will
never pass any data. Even worse, when QEMU shuts down, or that network backend
is hot-removed, it will close this bogus file descriptor, which could belong to
another QEMU device backend.

There's no obvious guaranteed reliable way to detect that a FD genuinely is a
TAP device, as opposed to a UNIX socket, or pipe, or something else. Checking
the errno from probing vnet hdr flag though, does catch the big common cases.
ie calling TUNGETIFF will return EBADF for an invalid FD, and ENOTTY when FD is
a UNIX socket, or pipe which catches accidental collisions with FDs used for
stdio, or monitor socket.

Previously the example below where bogus fd 9 collides with the FD used for the
chardev saw:

$ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,fd=9 \
  -chardev socket,id=charchannel0,path=/tmp/qga,server,nowait \
  -monitor stdio -vnc :0
qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,fd=9: TUNGETIFF ioctl() failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl() failed: Bad address
QEMU 2.9.1 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) Warning: netdev hostnet0 has no peer

which gives a running QEMU with a zombie network backend.

With this change applied we get an error message and QEMU immediately exits
before carrying on and making a bigger disaster:

$ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,fd=9 \
  -chardev socket,id=charchannel0,path=/tmp/qga,server,nowait \
  -monitor stdio -vnc :0
qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,fd=9: Unable to query TUNGETIFF on FD 9: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Agreed, given our documented OS platform targets, we don't need to
care about such old kernels.

Maybe the following ?

bool qemu_fd_is_valid(int fd)
{
    return _get_osfhandle(fd) != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;
}

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/get-osfhandle?view=vs-2019

Anyway,

For the v1, Philippe proposed:

  bool qemu_fd_is_valid(int fd)
  {
      unsigned long res; /* ignored */

      return ioctlsocket(fd, FIONREAD, &res) == NO_ERROR;
  }

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winsock/winsock-ioctls

The problem is I can't test. So I let the change to someone that will
need it, fix it and test it...

Thanks,
Laurent

Please explain the FIXME's impact in the commit message.

This patch is okay as it is.  But I'd solve the problem differently,
avoiding the FIXME: have qemu_try_set_block() return -errno on failure,
have qemu_set_block() wrap around it and assert it succeeds.  Then in
net_init_tap():

        ret = qemu_try_set_block(fd);
        if (ret < 0) {
            error_setg_errno(errp, -ret, "Can't use file descriptor %d",
                             fd);
        }

When @fd is bad (say -1), @ret is set to EBADF, and the error message
looks like

    Can't use file descriptor -1: Bad file descriptor

You should of course test the error message to see whether it makes
sense even with a complex command line.  If it doesn't, having
it mention @name could perhaps help.

Yes, it's a good idea. I'm going to do that.
