Thanx makes more sense, but I have noticed something weired if you can shade some light on.I added printfs one when the module is first loaded (static int event_handler(module_t module, int event, void *arg)): curthread=0xc3f95870 curthread->td_vnet=0xc3170e00 curthread->td_ucred=0xc3185d00 TD_TO_VNET=0 CRED_TO_VNET=0 And same printf in wtap_ioctl which is called from a user space program (I am root): curthread=0xc3f952d0 curthread->td_vnet=0 curthread->td_ucred=0xc3185d00 TD_TO_VNET=0 CRED_TO_VNET=0 In both cases TD_TO_VNET/CRED_TO_VNET return NULL... shouldn't they return a pointer same as curthread->td_vnet? Another thing is that in wtap_ioctl curthread->td_vnet is NULL
that depends on where in your code you did the print.. have you read this file? http://p4db.freebsd.org/fileViewer.cgi?FSPC=//depot/projects/vimage/porting_to_vimage.txt&REV=18 use the 'download' button to get a more readable version.it goes into some of the details of this. especially the initialization or vimage modules.
I still get a panic... br, On Tue, Feb 1, 2011 at 8:37 PM, Julian Elischer<jul...@freebsd.org> wrote:ok here's how it works.. any place you access a V_xxx variable you need to have the current vnet set. so somewhere in your code path to get to that point you have to have done CURVNET_SET() and after you have finised on the way out you should do CURVNET_RESTORE(). you can get the vnet from several places: 1/ as shown below, you can get it from any thread's cred if teh running thread is part of a process in the jail in question. 2/ if you have an ifp pointer, you can use ifp->vnet . I think that's right, it's been a while... 3/ I believe though I may be wrong (I may be thinking of multi FIBS) that it maybe in the socket structure too but don't trust me on that one.. check it. if, like in a timer thread you have access to NONE of those, you have several choices.. 1/ the caller of the timer may have given you indirect access to it in the arg. 2/ maybe you juaast have to interate through all the vimages.. to do whatever it is that you do (that happens in some protocols) On 2/1/11 11:04 AM, Monthadar Al Jaberi wrote:On Tue, Feb 1, 2011 at 6:25 PM, Julian Elischer<jul...@freebsd.org> wrote:On 2/1/11 8:40 AM, Monthadar Al Jaberi wrote:Hi, I hope I am on the write place, second try... I have written a module that loads fake wifi devices (wtap?) and distributes packets between them. For now I use route command to route packets between them from upper layers (TCP,...). I want to take it to next step and create jails with VNET. I started reading Julian Elischer's "Vimage: what is it?" and he says that if I am writing hardware drivers I dont need to make any changes when I enable VIMAGE option on the kernel, because each one will have their own stack. I can give a more detailed explanation on how my module works. But for now I get a panic when calling if_alloc() when using option VIMAGE. Thank you,while this was true to some extent it i snot 100% true now. during allocation we now try to have separate interface indexes per vimage which means that the setup routines do need to know the current vnet.so I cant call if_alloc directly?it looks like wtap_ioctl or wtap_attach should have the following: (copied from the tun driver) this should not be needed from real hardware based drivers as far as I can tell. CURVNET_SET(CRED_TO_VNET(cred)); /* find any existing device, or allocate new unit number */ i = clone_create(&tunclones,&tun_cdevsw,&u, dev, 0); [blah] if_clone_create(name, namelen, NULL); CURVNET_RESTORE();My wtap is based on ath driver code (if_ath.c) which should look like a real device right? if_ath.c is not using VNET, as far as I can tell.... Currently my module creates a couple of wtaps, which I then create a corresponding wlan. These wtaps are interconnected together, so no out world yet... so I dont have struct cdev *dev.... Basic idea is my module have a main queue (simulating air) and each wtap have a rx_task which sends packets up to higher layers, plus callout timer for generation beacons...
