2016-07-19net: use Netdev instead of NetClientOptions in client initKővágó, Zoltán
This way we no longer need NetClientOptions and can convert Netdev into a flat union. Signed-off-by: Kővágó, Zoltán <DirtY.iCE.hu@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Message-Id: <93ffdfed7054529635e6acb935150d95dc173a12.1441627176.git.DirtY.iCE.hu@gmail.com> [rework net_client_init1() to pass Netdev by copying from NetdevLegacy, rather than merging the two types - which means that we still need NetClientOptions after all. Rebase to qapi changes. The bulk of the patch is mechanical, replacing 'opts' by 'netdev->opts', while net_client_init1() takes care of converting between legacy and modern types.] Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Message-Id: <1468468228-27827-2-git-send-email-eblake@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
2015-05-27net: Permit incremental conversion of init functions to ErrorMarkus Armbruster
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.

2014-06-27net: L2TPv3 transportAnton Ivanov
This transport allows to connect a QEMU nic to a static Ethernet over L2TPv3 tunnel. The transport supports all options present in the Linux kernel implementation. It allows QEMU to connect to any Linux host running kernel 3.3+, most routers and network devices as well as other QEMU instances.

2014-06-19Add new vhost-user netdev backendNikolay Nikolaev
Add a new QEMU netdev backend that is intended to invoke vhost_net with the vhost-user backend. It uses an Unix socket chardev to establish a communication with the 'slave' (client and server mode supported). At runtime the netdev will handle OPEN/CLOSE events from the chardev. Upon disconnection it will set link_down accordingly and notify virtio-net; the virtio-net interface will go down.

2013-12-09net: Adding netmap network backendVincenzo Maffione
This patch adds support for a network backend based on netmap. netmap is a framework for high speed packet I/O. You can use it to build extremely fast traffic generators, monitors, software switches or network middleboxes. Its companion software switch VALE lets you interconnect virtual machines. netmap and VALE are implemented as a non-intrusive kernel module, support NICs from multiple vendors, are part of standard FreeBSD distributions and available in source format for Linux too. To compile QEMU with netmap support, use the following configure options: ./configure [...] --enable-netmap --extra-cflags=-I/path/to/netmap/sys where "/path/to/netmap" contains the netmap source code, available at http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/ The same webpage contains more information about the netmap project (together with papers and presentations).

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>
2012-10-08net: consolidate NetClientState header files into onePaolo Bonzini
This patch doesn't seem much useful alone, I must admit. However, it makes sense as part of the upcoming directory reorganization, where I want to have include/net/tap.h as the net<->hw interface for tap. Then having both net/tap.h and include/net/tap.h does not work. "Fixed" by moving all the init functions to a single header file net/clients.h. The patch also adopts a uniform style for including net/*.h files from net/*.c, without the net/ path.
