a30ecde6e7 net: Permit incremental conversion of init functions to Error
Error reporting for netdev_add is broken: the net_client_init_fun[]
report the actual errors with (at best) error_report(), and their
caller net_client_init1() makes up a generic error on top.

For command line and HMP, this produces an mildly ugly error cascade.

In QMP, the actual errors go to stderr, and the generic error becomes
the command's error reply.

To fix this, we need to convert the net_client_init_fun[] to Error.

To permit fixing them one by one, add an Error ** parameter to the
net_client_init_fun[].  If the call fails without returning an Error,
make up the same generic Error as before.  But if it returns one, use
that instead.  Since none of them does so far, no functional change.

1677f4c66c monitor: Clean up around monitor_handle_fd_param()
monitor_handle_fd_param() is a wrapper around
monitor_handle_fd_param2() that feeds errors to qerror_report_err()
instead of returning them.  qerror_report_err() is inappropriate in
many contexts.  monitor_handle_fd_param() looks simpler than
monitor_handle_fd_param2(), which tempts use.  Remove the temptation:
drop the wrapper and open-code the (trivial) error handling instead.

Replace the open-coded qerror_report_err() by error_report_err() in
places that already use error_report().  Turns out that's everywhere.

While there, rename monitor_handle_fd_param2() to monitor_fd_param().

d0caa3eb53 tap: do not close(fd) in net_init_tap_one
commit 5193e5fb (tap: factor out common tap initialization)
introduce net_init_tap_one(). But it's inappropriate that
we close fd in net_init_tap_one(), we should lay it in the
caller, becuase some callers needn't to close it if we get
the fd by monitor_handle_fd_param().

On the other hand, in other exceptional branches fd isn't
closed, so that's incomplete anyway.

68e5ec6400 tap: avoid deadlocking rx
The net subsystem has a control flow mechanism so peer NetClientStates
can tell each other to stop sending packets.  This is used to stop
monitoring the tap file descriptor for incoming packets if the guest rx
ring has no spare buffers.

There is a corner case when tap_can_send() is true at the beginning of
an event loop iteration but becomes false before the tap_send() fd
handler is invoked.

tap_send() will read the packet from the tap file descriptor and attempt
to send it.  The net queue will hold on to the packet and return 0,
indicating that further I/O is not possible.  tap then stops monitoring
the file descriptor for reads.

This is unlike the normal case where tap_can_send() is the same before
and during the event loop iteration.  The event loop would simply not
monitor the file descriptor if tap_can_send() returns true.  Upon next
iteration it would check tap_can_send() again and begin monitoring if we
can send.

The deadlock happens because tap_send() explicitly disabled read_poll.
This is done with the expectation that the peer will call
qemu_net_queue_flush().  But hw/net/virtio-net.c does not monitor
vm_running transitions and issue the flush.  Hence we're left with a
broken tap device.

1) fd and vhostfds were specified but vhostfd were not specified
2) vhostfds were specified but fds were not specified
3) fds and vhostfd were specified

For 1 and 2, net_init_tap_one() will still pass NULL as vhostfdname to
monitor_handle_fd_param(), which may crash the qemu.

Also remove the unnecessary has_fd check.

d32fcad366 net: increase buffer size to accommodate Jumbo frame pkts
Socket buffer sizes were hard-coded to 4K for VDE and socket netdevs.  Bump this
up to 68K (ala tap netdev) to handle maximum GSO packet size (64k) plus plenty
of room for the ethernet and virtio_net headers.

Originally, ran into this limitation when using -netdev UDP sockets to connect
VM-to-VM, where VM interface is configure with MTU=9000.  (Using virtio_net
NIC model).  Test is simple: ping -M do -s 8500 <target>.  This test will
attempt to ping with unfragmented packet of given size.  Without patch, size
is limited to < 4K (minus protocol hdrs).  With patch, ping test works with pkt
size up to 9000 (again, minus protocol hdrs).

v2: per Stefan, increase buf size to (4096+65536) as done in tap and apply
    to vde and socket netdevs.
v1: increase buf size to 12K just for -netdev UDP sockets

264986e2c8 tap: multiqueue support
Recently, linux support multiqueue tap which could let userspace call TUNSETIFF
for a signle device many times to create multiple file descriptors as
independent queues. User could also enable/disabe a specific queue through
TUNSETQUEUE.

The patch adds the generic infrastructure to create multiqueue taps. To achieve
this a new parameter "queues" were introduced to specify how many queues were
expected to be created for tap by qemu itself. Alternatively, management could
also pass multiple pre-created tap file descriptors separated with ':' through a
new parameter fds like -netdev tap,id=hn0,fds="X:Y:..:Z". Multiple vhost file
descriptors could also be passed in this way.

Each TAPState were still associated to a tap fd, which mean multiple TAPStates
were created when user needs multiqueue taps. Since each TAPState contains one
NetClientState, with the multiqueue nic support, an N peers of NetClientState
were built up.

A new parameter, mq_required were introduce in tap_open() to create multiqueue
tap fds.

6687b79d63 convert net_client_init() to OptsVisitor
The net_client_init() prototype is kept intact.

Based on "is_netdev", the QemuOpts-rooted QemuOpt-list is parsed as a
Netdev or a NetLegacy. The original meat of net_client_init() is moved to
and simplified in net_client_init1():

Fields not common between -net and -netdev are clearly separated. Getting
the name for the init functions is cleaner: Netdev::id is mandatory, and
all init functions handle a NULL NetLegacy::name. NetLegacy::vlan
explicitly depends on -net (see below).

Verifying the "type=" option for -netdev can be turned into a switch.

Format validation with qemu_opts_validate() can be removed because the
visitor covers it. Relatedly, the "net_client_types" array is reduced to
an array of init functions that can be directly indexed by opts->kind.
(Help text is available in the schema JSON.)

The outermost negation in the condition around qemu_find_vlan() was
flattened, because it expresses the dependent code's requirements more
clearly.

VLAN lookup is avoided if there's no init function to pass the VLAN to.

Whenever the value of type=... is needed, we substitute
NetClientOptionsKind_lookup[kind].

The individual init functions are not converted yet, thus the original
QemuOpts instance is passed transparently.

v1->v2:
- NetLegacy::name is optional. Tracked it through all init functions: they
  all handle a NULL name. Updated commit message accordingly.

v2->v3:
- NetLegacy::id is allowed and takes precedence over NetLegacy::name.

a7c36ee492 Add support for 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

885660bd48 network scripts: don't block SIGCHLD before forking
This patch fixes a bug where child processes of launch_script() can
misbehave due to SIGCHLD being blocked. In the case of `sudo`, this
causes a permanent hang.

Previously a SIGCHLD handler was added to reap fork_exec()'d zombie
processes by calling waitpid(-1, ...). This required other
fork()/waitpid() callers to temporarilly block SIGCHILD to avoid
having the final wait status being intercepted by the SIGCHLD
handler:

7c3370d4fe

Since then, the qemu_add_child_watch() interface was added to allow
registration of such processes and reap only from that specific set
of PIDs:

4d54ec7898

As a result, we can now avoid blocking SIGCHLD in launch_script(), so
drop that behavior.

5430a28fe4 vhost: force vhost off for non-MSI guests
When MSI is off, each interrupt needs to be bounced through the io
thread when it's set/cleared, so vhost-net causes more context switches and
higher CPU utilization than userspace virtio which handles networking in
the same thread.

We'll need to fix this by adding level irq support in kvm irqfd,
for now disable vhost-net in these configurations.

Added a vhostforce flag to force vhost-net back on.

virtio-net expects set_offload to succeed after
peer cleanup.
Since we don't have an open fd anymore, make it so.

43849424cf tap: clear vhost_net backend on cleanup
Frontends calling tap_get_vhost_net get an invalid pointer after the
peer backend has been deleted. Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> reports
this leading to a crash in ack_features when we remove the vhost-net
bakend of a virtio nic.

The fix is simply to clear the backend pointer.
