When a packet is sent with QEMU_NET_PACKET_FLAG_RAW by QEMU it
never includes virtio-net header even if qemu_get_vnet_hdr_len()
is not 0, and filter-dump is not managing this case.
The only user of QEMU_NET_PACKET_FLAG_RAW is announce_self,
we can show the problem using it and tcpddump:
- QEMU parameters:
.. -monitor stdio \
-netdev bridge,id=netdev0,br=virbr0 \
-device virtio-net,mac=9a:2b:2c:2d:2e:2f,netdev=netdev0 \
-object filter-dump,netdev=netdev0,file=log.pcap,id=pcap0
- HMP command:
(qemu) announce_self
- TCP dump:
$ tcpdump -nxr log.pcap
without the fix:
