In net/tap-linux.c, when manipulation of /dev/net/tun fails, it prints
(with fprintf) something like this:
warning: could not open /dev/net/tun: no virtual network emulation
this has 2 issues:
1) it is not a warning really, it's a fatal error (kvm exits after
that),
2) there's no indication as of what's actually wrong: printing errno there
is helpful.
The patch below removes the "warning" prefix, uses %m (since it's linux,
%m is available as format modifier), and changes fprintf() to %qemu_error().
Now it prints something like this instead:
could not configure /dev/net/tun: Device or resource busy
(there are 2 messages like that in the same function)

Right now, downscript is not invoked reliably. If you execute 'quit' from the
monitor, it won't be invoked.
This fixes that by converting tap to use an exit_notifier to execute the
downscript. In this case, allowing an exit notifier to include state is
critically important for the conversion.

error_report() terminates the message with a newline. Strip it it
from its arguments.
This fixes a few error messages lacking a newline:
net_handle_fd_param()'s "No file descriptor named %s found", and
tap_open()'s "vnet_hdr=1 requested, but no kernel support for
IFF_VNET_HDR available" (all three versions).
There's one place that passes arguments without newlines
intentionally: load_vmstate(). Fix it up.
we shouldn't call W*() macros until we check that fork worked.

net_check_clients() prints this when an VLAN has host devices, but no
guest devices. It uses VLANState members nb_guest_devs and
nb_host_devs to keep track of these devices. However, -device does
not update nb_guest_devs, only net_init_nic() does that, for -net nic.
Check the VLAN clients directly, and remove the counters.

Okay, let's try re-enabling the drain-entire-queue behaviour, with a
difference - before each subsequent packet, use qemu_can_send_packet()
to check that we can send it. This is similar to how we check before
polling the tap fd and avoids having to drop a packet if the receiver
cannot handle it.
This patch should be a performance improvement since we no longer have
to go through the mainloop for each packet.

Now that we disable any receiver whose queue is full, we do not require
senders to handle a zero return by supplying a sent callback.
This is a second step towards allowing can_receive() handlers to return
true even if no buffer space is available.

If qemu_send_packet_async() returns zero, it means the packet has been
queued and the sent callback will be invoked once it has been flushed.
This is only possible where the NIC's receive() handler returns zero
and promises to notify the networking core that room is available in its
queue again.
In the case where the receive handler does not have this capability
(and its queue fills up) it returns -1 and the networking core does not
queue up the packet. This condition is indicated by a -1 return from
qemu_send_packet_async().
Currently, tap handles this condition simply by dropping the packet. It
should do its best to avoid getting into this situation by checking such
NIC's have room for a packet before copying the packet from the tap
interface.
tap_send() used to achieve this by only reading a single packet before
returning to the mainloop. That way, tap_can_send() is called before
reading each packet.
tap_send() was changed to completely drain the tap interface queue
without taking into account the situation where the NIC returns an
error and the packet is not queued. Let's start fixing this by
reverting to the previous behaviour of reading one packet at a time.

Unbreak tap compilation on OS X
Broke the build on Linux due to a bad #if guard
Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
Currently compiling the tap sources breaks on Mac OS X. This is because of:
1) tap-linux.h requiring Linux includes
2) typos
3) missing #includes
This patch adds what's necessary to compile tap happily on Mac OS X.
I haven't tested if using tap actually works, but I don't think that's a
major issue as that code was probably seriously untested before already.
I didn't split the patch, because it's only a few lines of code and
splitting is probably not worth the effort here.
