We add each netdev a default buffer filter, which the name is
'nop', and the default buffer filter is disabled, so it has
no side effect for packets delivering in qemu net layer.

The default buffer filter can be used by COLO or Micro-checkpoint,
The reason we add the default filter is we hope to support
hot add network during COLO state in future.

This seems not very elegant. Besides DEFAULT_FILTER_NAME(TYPE), we may
also want a DEFAULT_FILTER_PROPERTIES? Then you can store the "status"
into properties.


A little confused, do you mean add a 'default' property for filter ?
Just like the new 'status' property which is exported to users ?
Is the type of 'default' property string or bool ?

For example, is it possible to store the default property into a string
and just create the filter through qemu_opts_parse_noisily() by just

We still need to use some *visit* helpers to realize the capability,
because the object_add() helper need a 'Visitor *v' parameter, and the
codes
will be like:
QemuOptsList qemu_filter_opts = {
     .name = "default-filter",
     .head = QTAILQ_HEAD_INITIALIZER(qemu_filter_opts.head),
     .desc = {
         {
             .name = "netdev",
             .type = QEMU_OPT_STRING,
         },{
             .name = "status",
             .type = QEMU_OPT_STRING,
         },
         { /* end of list */ }
     },
};
void netdev_add_filter(const char *netdev_id,
                        const char *filter_type,
                        const char *id,
                        bool is_default,
                        Error **errp)
{
    sprintf(optarg, "netdev=%s,status=%s", netdev_id,
                     is_default ? "disable" : "enable");
     opts = qemu_opts_parse_noisily(&qemu_filter_opts,
                                    optarg, false);
     if (!opts) {
         error_report("Failed to parse param '%s'", optarg);
         exit(1);
     }

     qdict = qemu_opts_to_qdict(opts, NULL);
     ov = opts_visitor_new(opts);
     visit_start_struct(opts_get_visitor(ov), &dummy, NULL, NULL, 0,
&err);
     if (err) {
         goto out_clean;
     }
     object_add(filter_type, id, qdict, opts_get_visitor(ov), &err);
     if (err) {
         goto out_clean;
     }

     visit_end_struct(opts_get_visitor(ov), &err);
     if (err) {
         qmp_object_del(id, NULL);
         goto out_clean;
     }

}

Or, we can simplify patch 4 by using qmp_object_add(), codes will be
like:

void netdev_add_filter(const char *netdev_id,
                        const char *filter_type,
                        const char *id,
                        bool is_default,
                        Error **errp)
{
     ... ...

     qov = qmp_output_visitor_new();
     ov = qmp_output_get_visitor(qov);
     visit_start_struct(ov,  &dummy, NULL, NULL, 0, &err);
     if (err) {
         goto out;
     }
     visit_type_str(ov, &nc->name, "netdev", &err);
     if (err) {
         goto out;
     }
     status = is_default ? g_strdup("disable") : g_strdup("enable");
     visit_type_str(ov, &status, "status", &err);
     g_free(status);
     if (err) {
         goto out;
     }
     visit_end_struct(ov, &err);
     if (err) {
         goto out;
     }
     obj = qmp_output_get_qobject(qov);
     g_assert(obj != NULL);
     qmp_object_add(filter_type, id, true, obj, &err);
     qmp_output_visitor_cleanup(qov);
     qobject_decref(obj);

}

what's your suggestion ? :)


Can we just reuse object_create()? here


Yes, the codes is more clean if we reuse it.
I will fix it like that in v2, thanks.

Thanks,
