This reverts commit 46d4d36d0b.
The reverted commit changed to emit warnings instead of errors when
vhost is requested but vhost initialization fails if vhostforce option
is not set.
However, vhostforce is not meant to ignore vhost errors. It was once
introduced as an option to commit 5430a28fe4 ("vhost: force vhost off
for non-MSI guests") to force enabling vhost for non-MSI guests, which
will have worse performance with vhost. The option was deprecated with
commit 1e7398a140 ("vhost: enable vhost without without MSI-X") and
changed to behave identical with the vhost option for compatibility.
Worse, commit bf769f742c ("virtio: del net client if net_init_tap_one
failed") changed to delete the client when vhost fails even when the
failure only results in a warning. The leads to an assertion failure
for the -netdev command line option.
The reverted commit was intended to avoid that the vhost initialization
failure won't result in a corrupted netdev. This problem should have
been fixed by deleting netdev when the initialization fails instead of
ignoring the failure with an arbitrary option. Fortunately, commit
bf769f742c ("virtio: del net client if net_init_tap_one failed"),
mentioned earlier, implements this behavior.
Restore the correct semantics and fix the assertion failure for the
-netdev command line option by reverting the problematic commit.

Use a heap allocation instead of a variable length array in
tap_receive_iov().
The codebase has very few VLAs, and if we can get rid of them all we
can make the compiler error on new additions. This is a defensive
measure against security bugs where an on-stack dynamic allocation
isn't correctly size-checked (e.g. CVE-2021-3527).

filter-dump specifiees Ethernet as PCAP LinkType, which does not expect
virtio-net header. Having virtio-net header in such PCAP file breaks
PCAP unconsumable. Unfortunately currently there is no LinkType for
virtio-net so for now strip virtio-net header to convert the output to
Ethernet.

The has_FOO for pointer-valued FOO are redundant, except for arrays.
They are also a nuisance to work with. Recent commit "qapi: Start to
elide redundant has_FOO in generated C" provided the means to elide
them step by step. This is the step for qapi/net.json.
Said commit explains the transformation in more detail. The invariant
violations mentioned there do not occur here.

This patch switches to initialize dev.nvqs from the VhostNetOptions
instead of assuming it was 2. This is useful for implementing control
virtqueue support which will be a single vhost_net structure with a
single cvq.
Note that nvqs is still set to 2 for all users and this patch does not
change functionality.

The minimum Ethernet frame length is 60 bytes. For short frames with
smaller length like ARP packets (only 42 bytes), on a real world NIC
it can choose either padding its length to the minimum required 60
bytes, or sending it out directly to the wire. Such behavior can be
hardcoded or controled by a register bit. Similarly on the receive
path, NICs can choose either dropping such short frames directly or
handing them over to software to handle.
On the other hand, for the network backends like SLiRP/TAP, they
don't expose a way to control the short frame behavior. As of today
they just send/receive data from/to the other end connected to them,
which means any sized packet is acceptable. So they can send and
receive short frames without any problem. It is observed that ARP
packets sent from SLiRP/TAP are 42 bytes, and SLiRP/TAP just send
these ARP packets to the other end which might be a NIC model that
does not allow short frames to pass through.
To provide better compatibility, for packets sent from QEMU network
backends like SLiRP/TAP, we change to pad short frames before sending
it out to the other end, if the other end does not forbid it via the
nc->do_not_pad flag. This ensures a backend as an Ethernet sender
does not violate the spec. But with this change, the behavior of
dropping short frames from SLiRP/TAP interfaces in the NIC model
cannot be emulated because it always receives a packet that is spec
complaint. The capability of sending short frames from NIC models is
still supported and short frames can still pass through SLiRP/TAP.
This commit should be able to fix the issue as reported with some
NIC models before, that ARP requests get dropped, preventing the
guest from becoming visible on the network. It was workarounded in
these NIC models on the receive path, that when a short frame is
received, it is padded up to 60 bytes.
The following 2 commits seem to be the one to workaround this issue
in e1000 and vmxenet3 before, and should probably be reverted.

The info_str field of the NetClientState structure is static and has a size
of 256 bytes. This amount is often unclaimed, and the field itself is used
exclusively for HMP "info network".
The patch translates info_str to dynamic memory allocation.
This action is also allows us to painlessly discard usage of this field
for backend devices.

The query-netdev command is used to get the configuration of the current
network device backends (netdevs).
This is the QMP analog of the HMP command "info network" but only for
netdevs (i.e. excluding NIC and hubports).
The query-netdev command returns an array of objects of the NetdevInfo
type, which are an extension of Netdev type. It means that response can
be used for netdev-add after small modification. This can be useful for
recreate the same netdev configuration.
Information about the network device is filled in when it is created or
modified and is available through the NetClientState->stored_config.
