[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] net: Disable netmap backend when not supported

[Vincenzo Maffione]

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
introduced by future patches.

Note: This patch is against the net-next/net Stefan's branch.

Changes against the previous version:
   (1) more complete commit description
   (2) add comment in ./configure to explain version checks
