[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v3 0/5] port network layer onto glib

[Liu Ping Fan]

This series focus on network backend (excluding slirp). The related patch
for core's re-entrant (queue.c net.c) will be sent out separatelly.

The choice between  GSource or AioContext is not decided yet.
If we choose AioContext, I think we need to expand extra interface for 
readable() and writable(). readable() is different from io_flush, which
causes block for sync, but this sync is not neccessary for NetWork.



v2->v3:
  1.drop hub and the frontend(virtio net)
  2.split the patch for NetClientSource 

v1->v2:
  1.NetClientState can associate with up to 2 GSource, for virtio net, one for 
tx, one for rx,
    so vq can run on different threads.
  2.make network front-end onto glib, currently virtio net dataplane


Liu Ping Fan (5):
  net: introduce glib function for network
  net: port tap onto glib
  net: resolve race of tap backend and its peer
  net: port vde onto glib
  net: port socket to glib
