tools/hv: fcopy: Fix irregularities with size of ring buffer

2025-07-15T06:25:33+00:00

Size of ring buffer, as defined in uio_hv_generic driver, is no longer fixed to 16 KB. This creates a problem in fcopy, since this size was hardcoded. With the change in place to make ring sysfs node actually reflect the size of underlying ring buffer, it is safe to get the size of ring sysfs file and use it for ring buffer size in fcopy daemon. Fix the issue of disparity in ring buffer size, by making it dynamic in fcopy uio daemon.

tools/hv: fcopy: Fix incorrect file path conversion

2025-07-09T23:01:55+00:00

The hv_fcopy_uio_daemon fails to correctly handle file copy requests from Windows hosts (e.g. via Copy-VMFile) due to wchar_t size differences between Windows and Linux. On Linux, wchar_t is 32 bit, whereas Windows uses 16 bit wide characters. Fix this by ensuring that file transfers from host to Linux guest succeed with correctly decoded file names and paths. - Treats file name and path as __u16 arrays, not wchar_t*. - Allocates fixed-size buffers (W_MAX_PATH) for converted strings instead of using malloc. - Adds a check for target path length to prevent snprintf() buffer overflow.

tools: hv: Enable debug logs for hv_kvp_daemon

2025-05-23T16:30:55+00:00

Allow the KVP daemon to log the KVP updates triggered in the VM with a new debug flag(-d). When the daemon is started with this flag, it logs updates and debug information in syslog with loglevel LOG_DEBUG. This information comes in handy for debugging issues where the key-value pairs for certain pools show mismatch/incorrect values. The distro-vendors can further consume these changes and modify the respective service files to redirect the logs to specific files as needed.

tools/hv: update route parsing in kvp daemon

2025-04-25T06:07:09+00:00

After recent changes in the VM network stack, the host fails to display the IP addresses of the VM. As a result the "IP Addresses" column in the "Networking" tab in the Windows Hyper-V Manager is empty. This is caused by a change in the expected output of the "ip route show" command. Previously the gateway address was shown in the third row. Now the gateway addresses might be split into several lines of output. As a result, the string "ra" instead of an IP address is sent to the host. To me more specific, a VM with the wellknown wicked network managing tool still shows the expected output in recent openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshots: ip a show dev uplink;ip -4 route show;ip -6 route show 2: uplink: mtu 1500 qdisc mq state ... link/ether 00:15:5d:d0:93:08 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 1.2.3.4/22 brd 1.2.3.255 scope global uplink valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::215:5dff:fed0:9308/64 scope link proto kernel_ll valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever default via 1.2.3.254 dev uplink proto dhcp 1.2.3.0/22 dev uplink proto kernel scope link src 1.2.3.4 fe80::/64 dev uplink proto kernel metric 256 pref medium default via fe80::26fc:4e00:3b:74 dev uplink proto ra metric 1024 exp... default via fe80::6a22:8e00:fb:14f8 dev uplink proto ra metric 1024 e...

tools/hv: reduce resource usage in hv_kvp_daemon

2024-12-09T18:44:15+00:00

hv_kvp_daemon uses popen(3) and system(3) as convinience helper to launch external helpers. These helpers are invoked via a temporary shell process. There is no need to keep this temporary process around while the helper runs. Replace this temporary shell with the actual helper process via 'exec'.

hv/hv_kvp_daemon: Pass NIC name to hv_get_dns_info as well

2024-12-09T18:44:15+00:00

The reference implementation of hv_get_dns_info which is in the tree uses /etc/resolv.conf to get DNS servers and this does not require to know which NIC is queried. Distro specific implementations, however, may want to provide per-NIC, fine grained information. E.g. NetworkManager keeps track of DNS servers per connection. Similar to hv_get_dhcp_info, pass NIC name as a parameter to hv_get_dns_info script.
