Diagnostic output goes to stderr, except when we're in a monitor
command, when it goes to the monitor instead.
config_error() implements this with a monitor argument: if it's
non-null, report there, else to stderr. This obliges us to pass the
monitor down various call chains, to make it available to
config_error().
The recently created qemu_error() doesn't need a monitor argument to
route output. Use it.
There's one user-visible difference: config_error() prepended "qemu: "
to a message bound for stderr. qemu_error() doesn't, which means the
prefix goes away with this commit. If such a prefix is desired for
stderr, then I figure it should be slapped on all error messages, not
just the ones that used to go through config_error().

Propagating errors up the call chain is tedious. In startup code, we
can take a shortcut: terminate the program. This is wrong elsewhere,
the monitor in particular.
config_error() tries to cater for both customers: it terminates the
program unless its mon parameter tells it it's working for the
monitor.
Its users need to return status anyway (unless passing a null mon
argument, which none do), which their users need to check. So this
automatic exit buys us exactly nothing useful. Only the dangerous
delusion that we can get away without returning status. Some of its
users fell for that. Their callers continue executing after failure
when working for the monitor.
This bites monitor command host_net_add in two places:
* net_slirp_init() continues after slirp_hostfwd(), slirp_guestfwd(),
or slirp_smb() failed, and may end up reporting success. This
happens for "host_net_add user guestfwd=foo": it complains about the
invalid guest forwarding rule, then happily creates the user network
without guest forwarding.
* net_client_init() can't detect slirp_guestfwd() failure, and gets
fooled by net_slirp_init() lying about success. Suppresses its
"Could not initialize device" message.
Add the missing error reporting, make sure errors are checked, and
drop the exit() from config_error().

Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
On reflection, perhaps it does make sense to set a default value for
the sndbuf= tap parameter.
For best effect, sndbuf= should be set to just below the capacity of
the physical NIC.
Setting it higher will cause packets to be dropped before the limit
is hit. Setting it much lower will not cause any problems unless
you set it low enough such that the guest cannot queue up new packets
before the NIC has emptied its queue.
In Linux, txqueuelen=1000 by default for ethernet NICs. Given a 1500
byte MTU, 1Mb is a good choice for sndbuf.
If it turns out that txqueuelen is actually much lower than this, then
sndbuf is essentially disabled. In the event that txqueuelen is much
higher, it's unlikely that the NIC will be able to empty a 1Mb queue.

Once again this was a long journey to reach the destination: Allow to
instantiate slirp multiple times. But as in the past, the journey was
worthwhile, cleaning up, fixing and enhancing various parts of the user
space network stack along the way.
What is this particular change good for? Multiple slirps instances
allow separated user space networks for guests with multiple NICs. This
is already possible, but without any slirp support for the second
network, ie. without a chance to talk to that network from the host via
IP. We have a legacy guest system here that benefits from this slirp
enhancement, allowing us to run both of its NICs purely over
unprivileged user space IP stacks.
Another benefit of this patch is that it simply removes an artificial
restriction of the configuration space qemu is providing, avoiding
another source of surprises that users may face when playing with
possible setups.

2.6.30 adds a new TUNSETSNDBUF ioctl() which allows a send buffer limit
for the tap device to be specified. When this limit is reached, a tap
write() will return EAGAIN and poll() will indicate the fd isn't
writable.
This allows people to tune their setups so as to avoid e.g. UDP packet
loss when the sending application in the guest out-runs the NIC in the
host.
There is no obviously sensible default setting - a suitable value
depends mostly on the capabilities of the physical NIC through which the
packets are being sent.
Also, note that when using a bridge with netfilter enabled, we currently
never get EAGAIN because netfilter causes the packet to be immediately

Add a qemu_send_packet() variant which will queue up the packet
if it cannot be sent when all client queues are full. It later
invokes the supplied callback when the packet has been sent.
If qemu_send_packet_async() returns zero, the caller is expected
to not send any more packets until the queued packet has been
sent.
Packets are queued iff a receive() handler returns zero (indicating
queue full) and the caller has provided a sent notification callback
(indicating it will stop and start its own queue).
We need the packet sending API to support queueing because:
- a sending client should process all available packets in one go
(e.g. virtio-net emptying its tx ring)
- a receiving client may not be able to handle the packet
(e.g. -EAGAIN from write() to tapfd)
- the sending client could detect this condition in advance
(e.g. by select() for writable on tapfd)
- that's too much overhead (e.g. a select() call per packet)
- therefore the sending client must handle the condition by
dropping the packet or queueing it
- dropping packets is poor form; we should queue.
However, we don't want queueing to be completely transparent. We
want the sending client to stop sending packets as soon as a
packet is queued. This allows the sending client to be throttled
by the receiver.

traffic by only reading a packet from the tapfd when a
client can actually handle it.

If a vlan client has no fd_can_read(), that means it can
always receive packets. The current code assumes it can *never*
receive packets.

KVM uses a 64k buffer for reading from tapfd (for GSO support)
and allocates the buffer with TAPState rather than on the stack.
Not allocating it on the stack probably makes sense for qemu
anyway, so merge it in advance of GSO support.

This patch reorders the initialization of slirp itself as well as its
associated features smb and redirection. So far the first reference to
slirp triggered the initialization, independent of the actual -net user
option which may carry additional parameters. Now we save any request to
add a smb export or some redirections until the actual initialization of
the stack. This also allows to move a few parameters that were passed
via global variable into the argument list of net_slirp_init.

As host network devices can also be instantiated via the monitor, errors
should then be reported to the related monitor instead of stderr. This
requires larger refactoring, so this patch starts small with introducing
a helper to catch both cases and convert net_client_init as well as
net_slirp_redir.

A small bit of confusion between buffers is causing errors like:
qemu: invalid parameter '10' in 'script=/etc/qemu-ifup,fd=10'
instead of:
qemu: invalid parameter 'script' in 'script=/etc/qemu-ifup,fd=10'

OK, last try: 8e4416af45 broke -net socket, ffad4116b9 tried to fix it
but broke error reporting of invalid parameters. So this patch widely
reverts ffad4116b9 again and intead fixes those callers of check_params
that originally suffered from overwritten buffers by using separate
ones.

This reverts commit 8cf07dcbe7.
This is a sorry saga.
This commit:
8e4416af45 net: Add parameter checks for VLAN clients
broken '-net socket' and this commit:
ffad4116b9 net: Fix -net socket parameter checks
fixed the problem but introduced another problem which
this commit:
8cf07dcbe7 Fix output of uninitialized strings
fixed that final problem, but causing us to lose some
error reporting information in the process.
Meanwhile Jan posted a patch to mostly re-do ffad4116b9
in a way that fixes the original issue, but without
losing the error reporting information. So, let's revert
8cf07dcbe7 and apply Jan's patch.

Slirp uses fork_exec for spawning service processes, and QEMU uses this
for running smbd. As SIGCHLD is not handled, these processes become
zombies on termination. Fix this by installing a proper signal handler,
but also make sure we disable the signal while waiting on forked network
setup/shutdown scripts.

In case you're wondering what connections exactly you have open
or maybe redir'ed in the past, you can't really find out from qemu
right now.
This patch enables you to see all current connections the host
only networking holds open, so you can kill them using the previous
patch.

Using the new host_net_redir command you can easily create redirections
on the fly while your VM is running.
While that's great, it's missing the removal of redirections, in case you
want to have a port closed again at a later point in time.
This patch adds support for removal of redirections.
