[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH] net/net: Record usage status of mac address

[Shannon Zhao]

From: Shannon Zhao <address@hidden>

Currently QEMU dynamically generates mac address for the NIC which
doesn't specify the mac address. But when we hotplug a NIC without
specifying mac address, the mac address will increase for the same NIC
along with hotplug and hot-unplug, and at last it will overflow. And if
we codeplug one NIC with mac address e.g. "52:54:00:12:34:56", then
hotplug one NIC without specifying mac address and the mac address of
the hotplugged NIC is duplicate of "52:54:00:12:34:56".

This patch add a mac_table to record the usage status and free the mac
address when the NIC is unrealized.
