2013-03-25net: increase buffer size to accommodate Jumbo frame pktsScott Feldman
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 Signed-off-by: Scott Feldman <sfeldma@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

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.

2013-02-01tap: multiqueue supportJason Wang
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. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2013-02-01tap: introduce a helper to get the name of an interfaceJason Wang
This patch introduces a helper tap_get_ifname() to get the device name of tap device. This is needed when ifname is unspecified in the command line and qemu were asked to create tap device by itself. In this situation, the name were allocated by kernel, so if multiqueue is asked, we need to fetch its name after creating the first queue. Only linux has this support since it's the only platform that supports multiqueue tap. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2013-02-01tap: support enabling or disabling a queueJason Wang
This patch introduce a new bit - enabled in TAPState which tracks whether a specific queue/fd is enabled. The tap/fd is enabled during initialization and could be enabled/disabled by tap_enalbe() and tap_disable() which calls platform specific helpers to do the real work. Polling of a tap fd can only done when the tap was enabled. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
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>

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>
