For all NICs(except virtio-net) emulated by qemu,
Such as e1000, rtl8139, pcnet and ne2k_pci,
Qemu can still receive packets when VM is not running.
If this happened in *migration's* last PAUSE VM stage, but
before the end of the migration, the new receiving packets will possibly dirty
parts of RAM which has been cached in *iovec*(will be sent asynchronously) and
dirty parts of new RAM which will be missed.
This will lead serious network fault in VM.
To avoid this, we forbid receiving packets in generic net code when
VM is not running.
Bug reproduction steps:
(1) Start a VM which configured at least one NIC
(2) In VM, open several Terminal and do *Ping IP -i 0.1*
(3) Migrate the VM repeatedly between two Hosts
And the *PING* command in VM will very likely fail with message:
'Destination HOST Unreachable', the NIC in VM will stay unavailable unless you
run 'service network restart'

tap: avoid deadlocking rx
Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>
The net subsystem has a control flow mechanism so peer NetClientStates
can tell each other to stop sending packets. This is used to stop
monitoring the tap file descriptor for incoming packets if the guest rx
ring has no spare buffers.
There is a corner case when tap_can_send() is true at the beginning of
an event loop iteration but becomes false before the tap_send() fd
handler is invoked.
tap_send() will read the packet from the tap file descriptor and attempt
to send it. The net queue will hold on to the packet and return 0,
indicating that further I/O is not possible. tap then stops monitoring
the file descriptor for reads.
This is unlike the normal case where tap_can_send() is the same before
and during the event loop iteration. The event loop would simply not
monitor the file descriptor if tap_can_send() returns true. Upon next
iteration it would check tap_can_send() again and begin monitoring if we
can send.
The deadlock happens because tap_send() explicitly disabled read_poll.
This is done with the expectation that the peer will call
qemu_net_queue_flush(). But hw/net/virtio-net.c does not monitor
vm_running transitions and issue the flush. Hence we're left with a
broken tap device.

After numerous reports that -smb (or -netdev user,smb=foo) not working
with modern windows (win7 and vista are reported as non-working), I
started digging myself. And found that indeed it doesn't work, and
why.
The thing is that modern win tries to connect to port 445 (microsoft-ds)
first, and if that fails, it falls back to old port 139 (netbios-ssn).
slirp code in qemu only redirects port 139, it does not touch port 445.
So the prob is that if samba is also running on the host, guest will try
to communicate using port 445, and that will succed, but ofcourse guest
will not talk with our samba but with samba running on the host.
If samba is not running on the host, guest will fall back to port 139,
and will reach the redirecting rule and qemu will spawn smbd correctly.
The solution is to redirect both ports (139 and 445), and the fix is
a one-liner, adding second call to slirp_add_exec() at the end of
net/slirp.c:slirp_smb() function (provided below).
But it looks like that is not a proper fix really, since in theory
we should redirect both ports to the SAME, single samba instance,
but I'm not sure this is possible with slirp. Well, even if two
smbd processes will be run on the same config dir, it should not
be a problem.
The one-liner (not exactly 1 since it touches previous line too) is like
this:

The smb.conf automatically generated by qemu's -smb option fails on current
samba, because smbd rejects the security=share option with the following warning:
> WARNING: Ignoring invalid value 'share' for parameter 'security'
Which makes it fall back to security=user without guest login.
This results in being unable to login to the samba server from the guest OS.
This fixes it by selecting 'user' explicitly and mapping
unknown users to guest logins.

The virtio_net offload APIs are used on the NIC's peer (i.e. the tap
device). The API was defined to implicitly use nc->peer, saving the
caller the trouble.
This wasn't ideal because:
1. There are callers who have the peer but not the NIC. Currently they
are forced to bypass the API and access peer->info->... directly.
2. The rest of the net.h API uses nc, not nc->peer, so it is
inconsistent.
This patch pushes nc->peer back up to callers.

This patch fixes configure so that the netmap backend is not compiled in if the
host doesn't support an API version >= 11. A version upper bound (15) has been
added so that the netmap API can be extended with some minor features without
requiring QEMU code modifications.
Moreover, some changes have been done to net/netmap.c in order to reflect the
current netmap API/ABI (11).
The NETMAP_WITH_LIBS macro makes possible to include some utilities (e.g.
netmap ring macros, D(), RD() and other high level functions) through the netmap
headers. In this way we get rid of the D and RD macro definitions in the QEMU
code, and we open the way for further code simplifications that will be

When a link change occurs on a backend (like tap), we currently do
not propage such change to the nic. As a result, when someone turns
off a link on a tap device, for instance, then a guest doesn't see
that change and continues to try to send traffic or run DHCP even
though the lower-layer is disconnected. This is OK when the network
is set up as a HUB since the the guest may be connected to other HUB
ports too, but when it's set up as a netdev, it makes thinkgs worse.
The patch addresses this by setting the peers link down only when the
peer is not a HUBPORT device. With this patch, in the following config
-netdev tap,id=net0 -device e1000,mac=XXXXX,netdev=net0
when net0 link is turned off, the guest e1000 shows lower-layer link
down. This allows guests to boot much faster in such configurations.
With windows guest, it also allows the network to recover properly
since windows will not configure the link-local IPv4 address, and
when the link is turned on, the proper address address is configured.

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/
