Modern linux supports arbitrary header size,
which makes it possible to pass mrg buf header
to tap directly without iovec mangling.
Use this capability when it is there.
This removes the need to deal with it in
vhost-net as we do now.

There's no reason to query header support at random
times: at load or feature query.
Driver also might not query functions.
Cleaner to do it at device init.

virtio-net has code to flush the queue and notify the iothread
whenever new receive buffers are added by the guest. That is
fine, and indeed we need to do the same in all other drivers.
However, notifying the iothread should be work for the network
subsystem. And since we are at it we can add a little smartness:
if some of the queued packets already could not be delivered,
there is no need to notify the iothread.

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.

Reorder arguments to be more natural, readable and
consistent with other iov_* functions, and change
argument names, from:
iov_from_buf(iov, iov_cnt, buf, iov_off, size)
to
iov_from_buf(iov, iov_cnt, offset, buf, bytes)
The result becomes natural English:
copy data to this `iov' vector with `iov_cnt'
elements starting at byte offset `offset'
from memory buffer `buf', processing `bytes'
bytes max.
(Try to read the original prototype this way).
Also change iov_clear() to more general iov_memset()
(it uses memset() internally anyway).
While at it, add comments to the header file
describing what the routines actually does.
The patch only renames argumens in the header, but
keeps old names in the implementation. The next
patch will touch actual code to match.
Now, it might look wrong to pay so much attention
to so small things. But we've so many badly designed
interfaces already so the whole thing becomes rather
confusing or error prone. One example of this is
previous commit and small discussion which emerged
from it, with an outcome that the utility functions
like these aren't well-understdandable, leading to
strange usage cases. That's why I paid quite some
attention to this set of functions and a few
others in subsequent patches.

This was done with:
sed -i 's/qemu_get_clock\>/qemu_get_clock_ns/' \
$(git grep -l 'qemu_get_clock\>' )
sed -i 's/qemu_new_timer\>/qemu_new_timer_ns/' \
$(git grep -l 'qemu_new_timer\>' )
after checking that get_clock and new_timer never occur twice
on the same line. There were no missed occurrences; however, even
if there had been, they would have been caught by the compiler.
There was exactly one false positive in qemu_run_timers:
- current_time = qemu_get_clock (clock);
+ current_time = qemu_get_clock_ns (clock);
which is of course not in this patch.

A pointer to a size_t variable was passed as the void * pointer to
lduw_p() in virtio_net_receive(). Instead of acting on the 16-bit value
this caused failure on big-endian hosts.
Avoid this issue in the future by using stw_p() instead. In general we
should use ld*_p() for loading from target memory and st*_p() for
storing to target memory anyway, not the other way around.
Also tighten up a correct use of lduw_p() when stw_p() should be used
instead in virtio_net_get_config().

When MSI is off, each interrupt needs to be bounced through the io
thread when it's set/cleared, so vhost-net causes more context switches and
higher CPU utilization than userspace virtio which handles networking in
the same thread.

for now disable vhost-net in these configurations.

Based on a patch from Mark McLoughlin, this patch introduces a new
bottom half packet transmitter that avoids the latency imposed by
the tx_timer approach. Rather than scheduling a timer when a TX
packet comes in, schedule a bottom half to be run from the iothread.
The bottom half handler first attempts to flush the queue with
notification disabled (this is where we could race with a guest
without txburst). If we flush a full burst, reschedule immediately.
If we send short of a full burst, try to re-enable notification.
To avoid a race with TXs that may have occurred, we must then
flush again. If we find some packets to send, the guest it probably
active, so we can reschedule again.
tx_timer and tx_bh are mutually exclusive, so we can re-use the
tx_waiting flag to indicate one or the other needs to be setup.
This allows us to seamlessly migrate between timer and bh TX
handling.
The bottom half handler becomes the new default and we add a new
tx= option to virtio-net-pci. Usage:
-device virtio-net-pci,tx=timer # select timer mitigation vs "bh"

If virtio_net_flush_tx() is called with notification disabled, we can
race with the guest, processing packets at the same rate as they
get produced. The trouble is that this means we have no guaranteed
exit condition from the function and can spend minutes in there.
Currently flush_tx is only called with notification on, which seems
to limit us to one pass through the queue per call. An upcoming
patch changes this.
Also add an option to set this value on the command line as different
workloads may wish to use different values. We can't necessarily
support any random value, so this is a developer option: x-txburst=
Usage:
-device virtio-net-pci,x-txburst=64 # 64 packets per tx flush
One pass through the queue (256) seems to be a good default value
for this, balancing latency with throughput. We use a signed int
for x-txburst because 2^31 packets in a burst would take many, many
minutes to process and it allows us to easily return a negative
value value from virtio_net_flush_tx() to indicate a back-off
or error condition.

Add an option to make the TX mitigation timer adjustable as a device
option. The 150us hard coded default used currently is reasonable,
but may not be suitable for all workloads, this gives us a way to
adjust it using a single binary. We can't support any random option
though, so use the "x-" prefix to indicate this is a developer
option. Usage:
-device virtio-net-pci,x-txtimer=500000,... # .5ms timeout
