Commit a7c36ee492 added code for a net
bridge and explicitly said that "this is very Linux centric".
Indeed, compilation failed for w32, so the bridge code is now
conditional. Hosts which don't support it can simply remove the
definition of CONFIG_NET_BRIDGE.

The most common use of -net tap is to connect a tap device to a bridge. This
requires the use of a script and running qemu as root in order to allocate a
tap device to pass to the script.
This model is great for portability and flexibility but it's incredibly
difficult to eliminate the need to run qemu as root. The only really viable
mechanism is to use tunctl to create a tap device, attach it to a bridge as
root, and then hand that tap device to qemu. The problem with this mechanism
is that it requires administrator intervention whenever a user wants to create
a guest.
By essentially writing a helper that implements the most common qemu-ifup
script that can be safely given cap_net_admin, we can dramatically simplify
things for non-privileged users. We still support existing -net tap options
as a mechanism for advanced users and backwards compatibility.
Currently, this is very Linux centric but there's really no reason why it
couldn't be extended for other Unixes.
A typical invocation would be similar to one of the following:
qemu linux.img -net bridge -net nic,model=virtio
qemu linux.img -net tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper"
-net nic,model=virtio
qemu linux.img -netdev bridge,id=hn0
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1
qemu linux.img -netdev tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper",id=hn0
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1
The default bridge that we attach to is br0. The thinking is that a distro
could preconfigure such an interface to allow out-of-the-box bridged networking.
Alternatively, if a user wants to use a different bridge, a typical invocation
would be simliar to one of the following:
qemu linux.img -net bridge,br=qemubr0 -net nic,model=virtio
qemu linux.img -net tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper --br=qemubr0"
-net nic,model=virtio
qemu linux.img -netdev bridge,br=qemubr0,id=hn0
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1
qemu linux.img -netdev tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper --br=qemubr0",id=hn0
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1

This change requires to store the MAC as MACAddr in NICInfo, and the

qemu_find_netdev() looks up members of non_vlan_clients by name. It
happily returns the first match. Trouble is the names need not be
unique.
non_vlan_clients contains host parts (netdevs) and guest parts (NICs).
Netdevs have unique names: a netdev's name is a (mandatory)
qemu_netdev_opts ID, and these are unique.
NIC names are not unique. If a NIC has a qdev ID (which is unique),
that's its name. Else, we make up a name. The made-up names are
unique, but they can clash with qdev IDs. Even if NICs had unique
names, they could still clash with netdev names.
Callers of qemu_find_netdev():
* net_init_nic() wants a netdev. It happens to work because it runs
before NICs get added to non_vlan_clients.
* do_netdev_del() wants a netdev. If it gets a NIC, it complains and
fails. Bug: a netdev with the same name that comes later in
non_vlan_clients can't be deleted:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -vnc :0 -S -monitor stdio -netdev user,id=hostnet0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=virtio1
[...]

virtio1: net=10.0.2.0, restricted=n
(qemu) netdev_del virtio1
Device 'virtio1' not found
* parse_netdev() wants a netdev. If it gets a NIC, it gets confused.
With the test setup above:
(qemu) device_add virtio-net-pci,netdev=virtio1
Property 'virtio-net-pci.netdev' can't take value 'virtio1', it's in use
You can even connect two NICs to each other:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -vnc :0 -S -monitor stdio -device virtio-net-pci,id=virtio1 -device e1000,netdev=virtio1
[...]
Devices not on any VLAN:

(qemu) q
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
* do_set_link() works fine for both netdevs and NICs. Whether it
really makes sense for netdevs is debatable, but that's outside this
patch's scope.
Change qemu_find_netdev() to return only netdevs. This fixes the
netdev_del and device_add/-device bugs demonstrated above.
To avoid changing set_link, make do_set_link() search non_vlan_clients
by hand instead of calling qemu_find_netdev().

If any of the clients is not ready to receive (ie it has a can_receive
callback and can_receive() returns false), we don't want to start
sending, else this client may miss/discard the packet.
I got this behaviour with the following setup :
the emulated machine is using an USB-ethernet adapter, it is connected
to the network using SLIRP and I'm dumping the traffic in a .pcap file.
As per the following command line :
-net nic,model=usb,vlan=1 -net user,vlan=1 -net dump,vlan=1,file=/tmp/pkt.pcap
Every time that two packets are coming in a row from the host, the
usb-net code will receive the first one, then returns 0 to can_receive
call since it has a 1 packet long queue. But as the dump code is always
ready to receive, qemu_can_send_packet will return true and the next
packet will discard the previous one in the usb-net code.

qemu makes it possible to disable link at tap which is not communicated
to the guest but causes all packets to be dropped.
This works for virtio userspace, as qemu stops giving it packets, but
not for virtio-net connected to vhost-net as that does not get notified
about this change.
Notify peer when this happens, which will then be used by the follow-up
patch to stop/start vhost-net.
Note: it might be a good idea to make peer link status match tap in this
case, so the guest gets an event and updates the carrier state. For now
stay bug for bug compatible with what we used to have in userspace.

With -netdev, virtio devices present offload
features to guest, depending on the backend used.
Thus, removing host netdev peer while guest is
active leads to guest-visible inconsistency and/or crashes.
As a solution, while guest (NIC) peer device exists,
we prevent the host peer from being deleted.
This patch does this by adding peer_deleted flag in nic state:
if host device is going away while guest device
is around, set this flag and keep a shell of
the host device around for as long as guest device exists.
The link is put down so all packets will get discarded.
At the moment, management can detect that device deletion
is delayed by doing info net. As a next step, we shall add
commands that control hotplug/unplug without
removing the device, and an event to report that
guest has responded to the hotplug event.

Commit 50e32ea8f3 changed the behaviour
for the return type of net_client_init() when a nic type with no init
method was specified. 'none' is one such nic type. Instead of returning
0, which gets interpreted as an index into the nd_table[] array, we
switched to returning -1, which signifies an error as well.
That broke VM start with '-net none'. Testing was only done with the
monitor command 'pci_add', which doesn't fail.
The correct fix would still be to return 0+ values from
net_client_init() only when the return value can be used as an index to
refer to an entry in nd_table[]. With the current code, callers can
erroneously poke into nd_table[0] when -net nic is used, which can lead
to badness.
However, this commit just returns to the previous behaviour before the

To hot-unplug guest and host part of a network device, you do:
device_del NIC-ID
netdev_del NETDEV-ID
For PCI devices, device_del merely tells ACPI to unplug the device.
The device goes away for real only after the guest processed the ACPI
unplug event.
You have to wait until then (e.g. by polling info pci) before you can
unplug the netdev. Not good.
Fix by removing the "in use" check from do_netdev_del(). Deleting a
netdev while it's in use is safe; packets simply get routed to the bit

There are many problems with net_set_boot_mask():
1) It is broken when using the device model instead of "-net nic". Example:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -device rtl8139,vlan=0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:82:41:fd,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -net user,vlan=0,name=hostnet0 -vnc 0.0.0.0:0 -boot n
Cannot boot from non-existent NIC
$
2) The mask was previously used to set which boot ROMs were supposed to be
loaded, but this was changed long time ago. Now all ROM images are loaded,
and SeaBIOS takes care of jumping to the right boot entry point depending on
the boot settings.
3) Interpretation and validation of the boot parameter letters is done on
the machine type code. Examples: PC accepts only a,b,c,d,n as valid boot
device letters. mac99 accepts only a,b,c,d,e,f.
As a side-effect of this change, qemu-kvm won't abort anymore if using "-boot n"
on a machine with no network devices. Checking if the requested boot device is
valid is now a task for the BIOS or the machine-type code.
