[PATCH-for-6.0] net: tap: fix crash on hotplug

[Cole Robinson]

Attempting to hotplug a tap nic with libvirt will crash qemu:

$ sudo virsh attach-interface f32 network default
error: Failed to attach interface
error: Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer

0x000055875b7f3a99 in tap_send (opaque=0x55875e39eae0) at ../net/tap.c:206
206	        if (!s->nc.peer->do_not_pad) {
gdb$ bt

s->nc.peer may not be set at this point. This seems to be an
expected case, as qemu_send_packet_* explicitly checks for NULL
s->nc.peer later.

Fix it by checking for s->nc.peer here too. Padding is applied if
s->nc.peer is not set.

Is this a regression since 5.2 ? (I guess so given the Fixes tag.)

Also, I'm kind of irritated that this was reported to RH on the
15th and we only get a patch now after rc4. I really really don't
want to have to roll an rc5, so this now has a much higher
hill to climb to get into 6.0 than if it had been reported
(eg on the "Planning" wiki page) as a for-6.0 issue before rc4
was tagged...

thanks

Sorry about that, I was slow attempting the reproducer, only gave it a
spin today. I saw Jason had some reverts in rc3 so I guessed that would
fix things, I was surprised to see it still reproduced with rc4.

 I really really don't

I'm not too in tune to rules of the rc releases TBH, I used the subject
prefix just to ensure this got attention. For Fedora's needs it's not a
big deal if this isn't in 6.0.0 GA. But AFAICT most nic hotplug via
libvirt will crash qemu 100% of the time so I imagine every distro will
want to immediately backport this patch.

Thanks,
Cole

I think so, the padding is for the peer.

Yes, the reason is because there's no packet go through slirp I think.

Thanks.

I think we should do:

if (s->nc.peer && !s->nc.peer->do_not_pad)

And do the similar fix on tap-win32 and slirp codes.

Yes. If there is no peer then the qemu_send_packet() that we're about
to do is going to discard the packet anyway, so there's no point in
padding it.

Maybe consider

static inline bool net_peer_needs_padding(NetClientState *nc)
{
    return nc->peer && !nc->peer->do_not_pad;
}

since we want the same check in three places ?

I did not get to this today. Bin/Jason/anyone want to write the patch, I
will test it tomorrow (US EDT time). If not I'll write the patch tomorrow.
