Hello all: This seires is an update of last version of multiqueue virtio-net support. This series tries to brings multiqueue support to virtio-net through a multiqueue support tap backend and multiple vhost threads. To support this, multiqueue nic support were added to qemu. This is done by introducing an array of NetClientStates in NICState, and make each pair of peers to be an queue of the nic. This is done in patch 1-7. Tap were also converted to be able to create a multiple queue backend. Currently, only linux support this by issuing TUNSETIFF N times with the same device name to create N queues. Each fd returned by TUNSETIFF were a queue supported by kernel. Three new command lines were introduced, "queues" were used to tell how many queues will be created by qemu; "fds" were used to pass multiple pre-created tap file descriptors to qemu; "vhostfds" were used to pass multiple pre-created vhost descriptors to qemu. This is done in patch 8-13. A method of deleting a queue and queue_index were also introduce for virtio, this is done in patch 14-15. Vhost were also changed to support multiqueue by introducing a start vq index which tracks the first virtqueue that will be used by vhost instead of the assumption that the vhost always use virtqueue from index 0. This is done in patch 16. The last part is the multiqueue userspace changes, this is done in patch 17-20. With this changes, user could start a multiqueue virtio-net device through ./qemu -netdev tap,id=hn0,queues=2,vhost=on -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0 Management tools such as libvirt can pass multiple pre-created fds/vhostfds through ./qemu -netdev tap,id=hn0,fds=X:Y,vhostfds=M:N -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0 For the one who wants to try, a git tree is available at: git://github.com/jasowang/qemu.git Changes from V2: - Don't start/stop vhost threads when changing queues and simplify the interface between virtio-net and vhost further. Changes from V1: - silent checkpatch (Blue) - use fds/vhostfds instead of fd/vhostfd (Stefan) - use fds="X:Y:Z" instead of fd=X,fd=Y,fd=Z (Anthony) - split patches (Stefan) - typos in commit log (Stefan) - Warn 'queues=' when fds/vhostfds is used (Stefan) - rename __net_init_tap to net_init_tap_one (Stefan) - check the consistency of vnet_hdr of multiple tap fds (Stefan) - disable multiqueue support for bridge-helper (Stefan) - rename tap_attach()/tap_detach() to tap_enable()/tap_disable() (Stefan) - fix booting with legacy guest (WanLong) - don't bump the version when doing migration (Michael) - simplify the interface between virtio-net and multiqueue vhost_net (Michael) - rebase the patches to latest - re-order the patches that let the net part comes first to simplify the reviewing - simplify the interface between virtio-net and multiqueue vhost_net - move the guest notifiers setup from vhost to vhost_net - fix a build issue of hw/mcf_fce.c Changes from RFC v2: - rebase the codes to latest qemu - align the multiqueue virtio-net implementation to virtio spec - split the patches into more smaller patches - set_link and hotplug support Changes from RFC V1: - rebase to the latest - fix memory leak in parse_netdev - fix guest notifiers assignment/de-assignment - changes the command lines to: qemu -netdev tap,queues=2 -device virtio-net-pci,queues=2
