tests/vhost-user-bridge: add vhost-user bridge application
The test existing in QEMU for vhost-user feature is good for testing the management protocol, but does not allow actual traffic. This patch proposes Vhost-User Bridge application, which can serve the QEMU community as a comprehensive test by running real internet traffic by means of vhost-user interface. Essentially the Vhost-User Bridge is a very basic vhost-user backend for QEMU. It runs as a standalone user-level process. For packet processing Vhost-User Bridge uses an additional QEMU instance with a backend configured by "-net socket" as a shared VLAN. This way another QEMU virtual machine can effectively serve as a shared bus by means of UDP communication. For a more simple setup, the another QEMU instance running the SLiRP backend can be the same QEMU instance running vhost-user client. This Vhost-User Bridge implementation is very preliminary. It is missing many features. I has been studying vhost-user protocol internals, so I've written vhost-user-bridge bit by bit as I progressed through the protocol. Most probably its internal architecture will change significantly. To run Vhost-User Bridge application: 1. Build vhost-user-bridge with a regular procedure. This will create a vhost-user-bridge executable under tests directory: $ configure; make tests/vhost-user-bridge 2. Ensure the machine has hugepages enabled in kernel with command line like: default_hugepagesz=2M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=2048 3. Run Vhost-User Bridge with: $ tests/vhost-user-bridge The above will run vhost-user server listening for connections on UNIX domain socket /tmp/vubr.sock, and will try to connect by UDP to VLAN bridge to localhost:5555, while listening on localhost:4444 Run qemu with a virtio-net backed by vhost-user: $ qemu \ -enable-kvm -m 512 -smp 2 \ -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=512M,mem-path=/dev/hugepages,share=on \ -numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc \ -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/tmp/vubr.sock \ -netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char0,vhostforce \ -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet1 \ -net none \ -net socket,vlan=0,udp=localhost:4444,localaddr=localhost:5555 \ -net user,vlan=0 \ disk.img vhost-user-bridge was tested very lightly: it's able to bringup a linux on client VM with the virtio-net driver, and execute transmits and receives to the internet. I tested with "wget redhat.com", "dig redhat.com". PS. I've consulted DPDK's code for vhost-user during Vhost-User Bridge implementation.
