2015-09-24vhost-user: add multiple queue supportChangchun Ouyang
This patch is initially based a patch from Nikolay Nikolaev. This patch adds vhost-user multiple queue support, by creating a nc and vhost_net pair for each queue. Qemu exits if find that the backend can't support the number of requested queues (by providing queues=# option). The max number is queried by a new message, VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM, and is sent only when protocol feature VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ is present first. The max queue check is done at vhost-user initiation stage. We initiate one queue first, which, in the meantime, also gets the max_queues the backend supports. In older version, it was reported that some messages are sent more times than necessary. Here we came an agreement with Michael that we could categorize vhost user messages to 2 types: non-vring specific messages, which should be sent only once, and vring specific messages, which should be sent per queue. Here I introduced a helper function vhost_user_one_time_request(), which lists following messages as non-vring specific messages: VHOST_USER_SET_OWNER VHOST_USER_RESET_DEVICE VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM For above messages, we simply ignore them when they are not sent the first time.

2015-06-19vhost: enable vhost without without MSI-XPankaj Gupta
We use vhostforce to enable vhost even if Guests don't have MSI-X support and we fall back to QEMU virtio-net. This gives a very small performance gain, but the disadvantage is that guest now controls which virtio code is running (qemu or vhost) so our attack surface is doubled. This patch will enable vhost unconditionally whenever it's requested. For compatibility, enable vhost when vhostforce is set, as well.

2015-06-09vhost-user: Improve -netdev/netdev_add/-net/... error reportingMarkus Armbruster
When -netdev vhost-user fails, it first reports a specific error, then one or more generic ones, like this: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -netdev vhost-user,id=foo,chardev=xxx qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev vhost-user,id=foo,chardev=xxx: chardev "xxx" not found qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev vhost-user,id=foo,chardev=xxx: No suitable chardev found qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev vhost-user,id=foo,chardev=xxx: Device 'vhost-user' could not be initialized With the command line, the messages go to stderr. In HMP, they go to the monitor. In QMP, the last one becomes the error reply, and the others go to stderr. Convert net_init_vhost_user() and its helpers to Error. This suppresses the unwanted unspecific error messages, and makes the specific error the QMP error reply.

2015-06-09QemuOpts: Drop qemu_opt_foreach() parameter abort_on_failureMarkus Armbruster
When the argument is non-zero, qemu_opt_foreach() stops on callback returning non-zero, and returns that value. When the argument is zero, it doesn't stop, and returns the callback's value from the last iteration. The two callers that pass zero could just as well pass one: * qemu_spice_init()'s callback add_channel() either returns zero or exit()s. * config_write_opts()'s callback config_write_opt() always returns zero. Drop the parameter, and always stop. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>

Based on patch by Nikolay Nikolaev: Vhost-user will implement the multi queue support in a similar way to what vhost already has - a separate thread for each queue. To enable the multi queue functionality - a new command line parameter "queues" is introduced for the vhost-user netdev.

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.

2014-06-19Add the vhost-user netdev backend to the command lineNikolay Nikolaev
The supplied chardev id will be inspected for supported options. Only a socket backend, with a set path (i.e. a Unix socket) and optionally the server parameter set, will be allowed. Other options (nowait, telnet) will make the chardev unusable and the netdev will not be initialised. Additional checks for validity: - requires `-numa node,memdev=..` - requires `-device virtio-net-*` The `vhostforce` option is used to force vhost-net when we deal with non-MSIX guests.

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.
