[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/9] For QEMU 2.5: Add a netfilter object and netbuffer filter

[Yang Hongyang <yanghy@cn.fujitsu.com>]

This patch add a new object netfilter, capture all network packets.
Also implement a netbuffer based on this object.
the "buffer" netfilter could be used by VM FT solutions like
MicroCheckpointing, to buffer/release packets. Or to simulate
packet delay.

Most of the changes of v2 are from Jason's comments.
You can also get the series from:
https://github.com/macrosheep/qemu/tree/netfilter-v2

Usage:
 -netdev tap,id=bn0
 -netfilter buffer,id=f0,netdev=bn0,chain=in,interval=1000
 -device e1000,netdev=bn0

dynamically add/remove netfilters:
 netfilter_add buffer,id=f0,netdev=bn0,chain=in,interval=1000
 netfilter_del f0

NOTE:
 interval's scale is microsecond.
 chain is optional, and is one of in|out|all, default is "all".
       "in" means this filter will receive packets sent to the @netdev
       "out" means this filter will receive packets sent from the @netdev
       "all" means this filter will receive packets both sent to/from
             the @netdev

TODO:
 - multiqueue support
 - dump

v2:
 - add a chain option to netfilter object
 - move the hook place earlier, before net_queue_send
 - drop the unused api in buffer filter
 - squash buffer filter patches into one
 - remove receive() api from netfilter, only receive_iov() is enough
 - addressed comments from Jason&Thomas

v1:
 initial patch.

  net: add a new object netfilter
  init/cleanup of netfilter object
  netfilter: add netfilter_{add|del} commands
  net: add/remove filters from network backend
  netfilter: hook packets before net queue send
  net/queue: export qemu_net_queue_append_iov
  move out net queue structs define
  netfilter: add a netbuffer filter
  filter/buffer: update command description and help
