This was done with:

sed -i 's/qemu_new_timer\>/qemu_new_timer_ns/' \

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);

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().

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

though, so use the "x-" prefix to indicate this is a developer
option. Usage:
-device virtio-net-pci,x-txtimer=500000,... # .5ms timeout

With the latest GSO/csum offload patches, any guest using an unpatched version
of dhclient (any Ubuntu guest, for instance), will no longer be able to get
a DHCP address.
dhclient is actually at fault here. It uses AF_PACKET to receive DHCP responses
but does not check auxdata to see if the packet has a valid csum. This causes
it to throw out the DHCP responses it gets from the virtio interface as there
is not a valid checksum.
Fedora has carried a patch to fix their dhclient (it's needed for Xen too) but
this patch has not made it into a release of dhclient. AFAIK, the patch is in
the dhclient CVS but I cannot confirm since their CVS is not public.
This patch, suggested by Rusty, looks for UDP packets (of a normal MTU) and
explicitly adds a checksum to them if they are missing one.
This allows unpatched dhclients to continue to work without needing to update
the guest kernels.

With '-netdev tap,id=foo -nic model=virtio,netdev=foo' virtio-net can
detect that its peer (i.e. the tap backend) supports vnet headers
and advertise to the guest that it can send packets with partial
checksums and/or TSO packets.
One complication is that if we're migrating and the source host
supports IFF_VNET_HDR but the destination host doesn't, we can't then
stop the guest from using those features. In this scenario, we just
fail the migration.
