[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5] tap: setting error appropriately when calling net_init_tap_one()

[Jay Zhou]

If netdev_add tap,id=net0,...,vhost=on failed in net_init_tap_one(),
the followed up device_add virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0 will fail
too, prints:

   TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl() failed: Bad file descriptor TUNSETOFFLOAD
   ioctl() failed: Bad file descriptor

The reason is that the fd of tap is closed when error occured after
calling net_init_tap_one().

The fd should be closed when calling net_init_tap_one failed:
   - if tap_set_sndbuf() failed
   - if tap_set_sndbuf() succeeded but vhost failed to open or
     initialize with vhostforce flag on
   - with wrong vhost command line parameter
The fd should not be closed just because vhost failed to open or
initialize but without vhostforce flag. So the followed up
device_add can fall back to userspace virtio successfully.
