2013-02-27net: reduce the unnecessary memory allocation of multiqueueJason Wang
Edivaldo reports a problem that the array of NetClientState in NICState is too large - MAX_QUEUE_NUM(1024) which will wastes memory even if multiqueue is not used. Instead of static arrays, solving this issue by allocating the queues on demand for both the NetClientState array in NICState and VirtIONetQueue array in VirtIONet. Tested by myself, with single virtio-net-pci device. The memory allocation is almost the same as when multiqueue is not merged.

2013-02-01net: multiqueue supportJason Wang
This patch adds basic multiqueue support for qemu. The idea is simple, an array of NetClientStates were introduced in NICState, parse_netdev() were extended to find and match all NetClientStates belongs to the backend and place their pointers in NICConf. Then qemu_new_nic can setup a N:N mapping between NICStates that belongs to a nic and NICStates belongs to the netdev. And a queue_index were introduced in NetClientState to track its index. After this, each peers of a NICState were abstracted as a queue. After this change, all NetClientState that belongs to the same backend/nic has the same id. When use want to change the link status, all NetClientStates that belongs to the same backend/nic will be also changed. When user want to delete a device or netdev, all NetClientStates that belongs to the same backend/nic will be deleted also. Changing or deleting an specific queue is not allowed.

2013-02-01net: introduce NetClientState destructorJason Wang
To allow allocating an array of NetClientState and free it once, this patch introduces destructor of NetClientState. Which could do type specific free, which could be used by multiqueue to free the array once. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2013-02-01net: introduce qemu_find_net_clients_except()Jason Wang
In multiqueue, all NetClientState that belongs to the same netdev or nic has the same id. So this patches introduces an helper qemu_find_net_clients_except() which finds all NetClientState with the same id. This will be used by multiqueue networking.

2013-02-01net: intorduce qemu_del_nic()Jason Wang
To support multiqueue nic, this patch separate the nic destructor from qemu_del_net_client() to a new helper qemu_del_nic() since the mapping bettween NiCState and NetClientState were not 1:1 in multiqueue. The following patches would refactor this function to support multiqueue nic. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2013-02-01net: introduce qemu_get_nic()Jason Wang
To support multiqueue, this patch introduces a helper qemu_get_nic() to get NICState from a NetClientState. The following patches would refactor this helper to support multiqueue. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2013-02-01net: introduce qemu_get_queue()Jason Wang
To support multiqueue, the patch introduce a helper qemu_get_queue() which is used to get the NetClientState of a device. The following patches would refactor this helper to support multiqueue. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

2012-12-19net: reorganize headersPaolo Bonzini
Move public headers to include/net, and leave private headers in net/. Put the virtio headers in include/net/tap.h, removing the multiple copies that existed. Leave include/net/tap.h as the interface for NICs, and net/tap_int.h as the interface for OS-specific parts of the tap backend. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
