[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] net: Make -netdev socket,listen= work |

The socket backend does not support the listen= option with -netdev. The
problem is how the socket NetClientState lifecycle is implemented: the socket
backend waits for an incoming client connection before creating a
NetClientState. The guest -device wants a peer= on startup, so QEMU fails with
an error about the non-existent peer.
This series makes -netdev socket,listen= work by creating the NetClientState
right away. This allows -device peer= to find the socket backend.
This code was written by Zhi Yong Wu <address@hidden>. I have only
cleaned up and tested it. The following work:
* -net socket,listen=:1234 -net nic,model=virtio
* -netdev socket,listen=:1234,id=netdev0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=netdev0
Zhi Yong Wu (2):
net: fix the coding style
net: add the support for -netdev socket, listen
