vhost user: add support of live migration
Some vhost user backends are able to support live migration. To provide this service the following features must be added: 1. Add the VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE capability to vhost-net when netdev backend is vhost-user. 2. Provide a nop receive callback to vhost-user. This callback is called by: * qemu_announce_self after a migration to send fake RARP to avoid network outage for peers talking to the migrated guest. - For guest with GUEST_ANNOUNCE capabilities, guest already sends GARP when the bit VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE is set. => These packets must be discarded. - For guest without GUEST_ANNOUNCE capabilities, migration termination is notified when the guest sends packets. => These packets can be discarded. * virtio_net_tx_bh with a dummy boot to send fake bootp/dhcp request. BIOS guest manages virtio driver to send 4 bootp/dhcp request in case of dummy boot. => These packets must be discarded. Signed-off-by: Thibaut Collet <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Michael S.
