[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v8 14/16] net: Complete qapi-fication of netdev_add

[Eric Blake]

We finally have all the required pieces for doing a type-safe
representation of netdev_add as a flat union, where the
discriminator 'type' now selects which additional members may
appear in the "arguments" JSON object sent over QMP, and exposes
those types through introspection, and without breaking command
line parsing.

Inline the function netdev_add() into its lone remaining caller.

There are a few places where the QMP 'netdev_add' command is now
more strict: anywhere that the QAPI lists an integer member, we
now require a strict JSON integer (previously, we allowed both
integers and strings, because the conversion from QMP to QemuOpts
back to QObject collapsed them into integers).  For example,
pre-patch, both of these examples succeed, but post-patch, the
second example fails:

{'execute':'netdev_add',
  'arguments':{'id':'net1', 'type':'hubport', 'hubid':1}}
{"return": {}}
{'execute':'netdev_add',
  'arguments':{'id':'net2', 'type':'hubport', 'hubid':"2"}}
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Invalid parameter type for 
'hubid', expected: integer"}}

If that turns out to be problematic, we could resolve the problem
by either adding a loose parsing mode to qmp-input-visitor (teaching
it to accept a string encoding of an integer in place of an actual
integer), or by using QAPI alternates.  But that work should be
in followup patches, if at all.

In qmp_netdev_add(), we still have to create a QemuOpts object
so that qmp_netdev_del() will be able to remove a hotplugged
network device; but the opts->head remains empty since we now
manage all parsing through the QAPI object rather than QemuOpts.
