[V4 PATCH] virtio-net: send gratuitous packet when needed

From: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>
Date: 2012-03-13 09:13:28
Also in: lkml, virtualization
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest, virtio core, virtio net driver · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, "Michael S. Tsirkin", Jason Wang

As hypervior does not have the knowledge of guest network configuration, it's
better to ask guest to send gratuitous packet when needed.

Guest test VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE bit during config change interrupt and when it
is set, a workqueue is scheduled to send gratuitous packet through
NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS. This feature is negotiated through bit
VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE.

Changes from v3:
- cancel the workqueue during freeze

Changes from v2:
- fix the race between unregister_dev() and workqueue
