b9ad513e1876 ("net: Remove receive_raw()") adds an iovec entry
in qemu_deliver_packet_iov() to add the virtio-net header
in the data when QEMU_NET_PACKET_FLAG_RAW is set but forgets
to increase the number of iovec entries in the array, so
receive_iov() will only send the first entry (the virtio-net
entry, full of 0) and no data. The packet will be discarded.
The only user of QEMU_NET_PACKET_FLAG_RAW is announce_self.
We can see the problem with tcpdump:
- QEMU parameters:
.. -monitor stdio \
-netdev bridge,id=netdev0,br=virbr0 \
-device virtio-net,mac=9a:2b:2c:2d:2e:2f,netdev=netdev0 \
- HMP command:
(qemu) announce_self
- TCP dump:
$ sudo tcpdump -nxi virbr0
without the fix:
<nothing>
with the fix:
ARP, Reverse Request who-is 9a:2b:2c:2d:2e:2f tell 9a:2b:2c:2d:2e:2f, length 46
0x0000: 0001 0800 0604 0003 9a2b 2c2d 2e2f 0000
