[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6 1/2] vhost user: add support of live migration

[Thibaut Collet]

Some vhost user backends are able to support live migration.
To provide this service the following features must be added:
1. Add the VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE capability to vhost-net when netdev
   backend is vhost-user.
2. Provide a nop receive callback to vhost-user.
   This callback is called by:
    *  qemu_announce_self after a migration to send fake RARP to avoid network
       outage for peers talking to the migrated guest.
         - For guest with GUEST_ANNOUNCE capabilities, guest already sends GARP
           when the bit VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE is set.
           => These packets must be discarded.
         - For guest without GUEST_ANNOUNCE capabilities, migration termination
           is notified when the guest sends packets.
           => These packets can be discarded.
    * virtio_net_tx_bh with a dummy boot to send fake bootp/dhcp request.
      BIOS guest manages virtio driver to send 4 bootp/dhcp request in case of
      dummy boot.
      => These packets must be discarded.
