[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC V2] virtio-net: announce self by guest

[Jason Wang]

It's hard to track all mac addresses and their configurations (e.g
vlan or ipv6) in qemu. Without those informations, it's impossible to
build proper garp packet after migration. The only possible solution
to this is let guest (who knew all configurations) to do this.

So, this patch introduces a new readonly config status bit of virtio-net,
VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE which is used to notify guest to announce
presence of its link through config update interrupt.When guest has
done the announcement, it should ack the notification through
VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_ANNOUNCE_ACK cmd. This feature is negotiated by a new
feature bit VIRTIO_NET_F_ANNOUNCE (which has already been supported by
Linux guest).

During load, a counter of announcing rounds were set so that the after
the vm is running it can trigger rounds of config interrupts to notify
the guest to build and send the correct garps.

Reference:
RFC v1: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-03/msg02648.html
V7:     https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-03/msg01127.html

Changes from RFC v1:
- clean VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE bit during reset
- free announce timer during clean
- make announce work for non-vhost case

Changes from V7:
- Instead of introducing a global method for each kind of nic, this
  version limits the changes to virtio-net itself.
