Subject: [RFC v3 PATCH 3/4] virtio-net: notify guest to annouce itself
Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2011 16:48:55 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111027084855.15020.80416.stgit@dhcp-8-146.nay.redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20111027084700.15020.24087.stgit@dhcp-8-146.nay.redhat.com>

It's hard to track all mac address and its usage (vlan, bondings,
ipv6) in qemu to send proper gratituous packet. The better choice is
let guest to do it.

The patch introduces a new rw config status bit of virtio-net,
VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE which is used to notify guest to announce
presence of its link through config update interrupt. When gust have
done the annoucement, it should clear that bit.

The feature is negotiated by bit VIRTIO_NET_F_ANNOUNCE.
