Use one byte each just to avoid the overhead of a bitmap.

If we don't have room to receive a packet, we return zero
from virtio_net_receive() and call qemu_flush_queued_packets()
as soon as space becomes available.

If a packet is queued by qemu_send_packet(), remove I/O
handler for the tap fd until we get notification that the
packet has been sent.
A not insignificant side effect of this is we can now
drain the tap send queue in one go without fear of packets
being dropped.

Add a qemu_send_packet() variant which will queue up the packet
if it cannot be sent when all client queues are full. It later
invokes the supplied callback when the packet has been sent.
If qemu_send_packet_async() returns zero, the caller is expected
to not send any more packets until the queued packet has been
sent.
Packets are queued iff a receive() handler returns zero (indicating
queue full) and the caller has provided a sent notification callback
(indicating it will stop and start its own queue).
We need the packet sending API to support queueing because:
- a sending client should process all available packets in one go
(e.g. virtio-net emptying its tx ring)
- a receiving client may not be able to handle the packet
(e.g. -EAGAIN from write() to tapfd)
- the sending client could detect this condition in advance
(e.g. by select() for writable on tapfd)
- that's too much overhead (e.g. a select() call per packet)
- therefore the sending client must handle the condition by
dropping the packet or queueing it
- dropping packets is poor form; we should queue.
However, we don't want queueing to be completely transparent. We
want the sending client to stop sending packets as soon as a
packet is queued. This allows the sending client to be throttled
by the receiver.

VLANClientState's fd_read() handler doesn't read from file
descriptors, it adds a buffer to the client's receive queue.
Re-name the handlers to make things a little less confusing.

This, apparently, is the style we prefer - all VLANClientState

Reduce the number of packets dropped under heavy network
traffic by only reading a packet from the tapfd when a
client can actually handle it.
Signed-off-by: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com>
If a vlan client has no fd_can_read(), that means it can
always receive packets. The current code assumes it can *never*
receive packets.

KVM uses a 64k buffer for reading from tapfd (for GSO support)
and allocates the buffer with TAPState rather than on the stack.
Not allocating it on the stack probably makes sense for qemu
anyway, so merge it in advance of GSO support.

This patch reorders the initialization of slirp itself as well as its
associated features smb and redirection. So far the first reference to
slirp triggered the initialization, independent of the actual -net user
option which may carry additional parameters. Now we save any request to
add a smb export or some redirections until the actual initialization of
the stack. This also allows to move a few parameters that were passed
via global variable into the argument list of net_slirp_init.

As host network devices can also be instantiated via the monitor, errors
should then be reported to the related monitor instead of stderr. This
requires larger refactoring, so this patch starts small with introducing
a helper to catch both cases and convert net_client_init as well as
net_slirp_redir.

OK, last try: 8e4416af45 broke -net socket, ffad4116b9 tried to fix it

that originally suffered from overwritten buffers by using separate

This reverts commit 8cf07dcbe7.
This is a sorry saga.
This commit:

broken '-net socket' and this commit:

fixed the problem but introduced another problem which
this commit:
8cf07dcbe7 Fix output of uninitialized strings

Meanwhile Jan posted a patch to mostly re-do ffad4116b9
in a way that fixes the original issue, but without
losing the error reporting information. So, let's revert
8cf07dcbe7 and apply Jan's patch.

Slirp uses fork_exec for spawning service processes, and QEMU uses this
for running smbd. As SIGCHLD is not handled, these processes become
zombies on termination. Fix this by installing a proper signal handler,
but also make sure we disable the signal while waiting on forked network
setup/shutdown scripts.

When debugging multi-threaded programs, QEMU's gdb stub would report the
correct number of threads (the qfThreadInfo and qsThreadInfo packets).
However, the stub was unable to actually switch between threads (the T
packet), since it would report every thread except the first as being
dead. Furthermore, the stub relied upon cpu_index as a reliable means
of assigning IDs to the threads. This was a bad idea; if you have this
sequence of events:
initial thread created
new thread #1
new thread #2
thread #1 exits
new thread #3
thread #3 will have the same cpu_index as thread #1, which would confuse
GDB. (This problem is partly due to the remote protocol not having a
good way to send thread creation/destruction events.)
We fix this by using the host thread ID for the identifier passed to GDB
when debugging a multi-threaded userspace program. The thread ID might
wrap, but the same sort of problems with wrapping thread IDs would come
up with debugging programs natively, so this doesn't represent a
problem.
