[Qemu-devel] [PULL 10/13] virtio_net: Bypass backends for MTU feature negotiation

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

From: Maxime Coquelin <address@hidden>

This patch adds a new internal "x-mtu-bypass-backend" property
to bypass backends for MTU feature negotiation.

When this property is set, the MTU feature is negotiated as soon
as supported by the guest and a MTU value is set via the host_mtu
parameter. In case the backend advertises the feature (e.g. DPDK's
vhost-user backend), the feature negotiation is propagated down to
the backend.

When this property is not set, the backend has to support the MTU
feature for its negotiation to succeed.

For compatibility purpose, this property is disabled for machine
types v2.9 and older.
