[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/5] Network traffic dumping for -netdev, second try

[Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>]

The "-net dump" option only works with the "-net" option. So far, it
is not possible to dump network traffic with the "-netdev" option yet.
This patch series now fixes this ugliness by enabling dumping for the
"-netdev" option, too.

Unlike with my first attempt a couple of weeks ago ("net: Enable vlans
and dump for -netdev, too"), this patch series now does not "abuse"
the disliked internal vlan hub infrastructure anymore but introduces
a new, clean "dumpfile=xxx" option for the -netdev parameters instead.

It's likely too late for version 2.4 for this patch series, but it
would be great to get some review feedback for this anyway.

Thomas Huth (5):
  net/dump: Add support for receive_iov function
  net/dump: Move DumpState into NetClientState
  net/dump: Rework net-dump init functions
  net/dump: Add dump option for netdev devices
  qemu options: Add information about dumpfile to help text
