2013-02-27net: fix qemu_flush_queued_packets() in presence of a hubLuigi Rizzo
When frontend and backend are connected through a hub as below (showing only one direction), and the frontend (or in general, all output ports of the hub) cannot accept more traffic, the backend queues packets in queue-A. When the frontend (or in general, one output port) becomes ready again, quemu tries to flush packets from queue-B, which is unfortunately empty. e1000.0 <--[queue B]-- hub0port0(hub)hub0port1 <--[queue A]-- tap.0 To fix this i propose to introduce a new function net_hub_flush() which is called when trying to flush a queue connected to a hub.

2012-12-19net: reorganize headersPaolo Bonzini
Move public headers to include/net, and leave private headers in net/. Put the virtio headers in include/net/tap.h, removing the multiple copies that existed. Leave include/net/tap.h as the interface for NICs, and net/tap_int.h as the interface for OS-specific parts of the tap backend. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2012-10-08net: consolidate NetClientState header files into onePaolo Bonzini
This patch doesn't seem much useful alone, I must admit. However, it makes sense as part of the upcoming directory reorganization, where I want to have include/net/tap.h as the net<->hw interface for tap. Then having both net/tap.h and include/net/tap.h does not work. "Fixed" by moving all the init functions to a single header file net/clients.h. The patch also adopts a uniform style for including net/*.h files from net/*.c, without the net/ path.

2012-08-01net: Rename VLANClientState to NetClientStateStefan Hajnoczi
The vlan feature is no longer part of net core. Rename VLANClientState to NetClientState because net clients are not explicitly associated with a vlan at all, instead they have a peer net client to which they are connected. This patch is a mechanical search-and-replace except for a few whitespace fixups where changing VLANClientState to NetClientState misaligned whitespace.

2012-08-01net: Convert qdev_prop_vlan to peer with hubZhi Yong Wu
Instead of using VLANState use net/hub.h to support the vlan qdev property. The vlan qdev property becomes an alias for the peer qdev property but is represented as a VLAN ID number. When a VLAN ID is selected the device will really peer with a hub port.

2012-08-01hub: Check that hubs are configured correctlyStefan Hajnoczi
Checks can be performed to make sure that hubs have at least one NIC and one host device, warning the user if this is not the case. Configurations which do not meet this rule tend to be broken but just emit a warning. This patch preserves compatibility with the checks performed by net core on vlans.

2012-08-01net: Use hubs for the vlan featureStefan Hajnoczi
Stop using the special-case vlan code in net.c. Instead use the hub net client to implement the vlan feature. The next patch will remove vlan code from net.c completely.

2012-08-01net: Add a hub net clientStefan Hajnoczi
The vlan feature can be implemented in terms of hubs. By introducing a hub net client it becomes possible to remove the special case vlan code from net.c and push the vlan feature out of generic networking code.
