net_init_tap intends to return 0 for success and -1 on error. However,
when net_init_tap() succeeds for a multi-queue device, it returns 1,
because of this code where ret becomes 1 when g_unix_set_fd_nonblocking
succeeds:
ret = g_unix_set_fd_nonblocking(fd, true, NULL);
if (!ret) {
... error ...
free_fail:
...
return ret;
Luckily, the only current call site checks for negative, rather than non-zero:
net_client_init1()
if (net_client_init_fun[](...) < 0)
Also, in the unlikely case that g_unix_set_fd_nonblocking fails and returns
false, ret=0 is returned, and net_client_init1 will use a broken interface.
Fix it to be future proof.

Theoretically tap_read_packet() may return size less than
s->host_vnet_hdr_len, and next, we'll work with negative size
(in case of !s->using_vnet_hdr). Let's avoid it.
Don't proceed with size == s->host_vnet_hdr_len as well in case
of !s->using_vnet_hdr, it doesn't make sense.

Introduce a boolean is_vhost_user field to the vhost_net
structure. This flag is initialized during vhost_net_init based
on whether the backend is vhost-user.
This refactoring simplifies checks for vhost-user specific behavior,
replacing direct comparisons of 'net->nc->info->type' with the new
flag. It improves readability and encapsulates the backend type
information directly within the vhost_net instance.

This commit refactors how the maximum transmit queue size for
virtio-net devices is determined, making the mechanism more generic
and extensible.
Previously, virtio_net_max_tx_queue_size() contained hardcoded
checks for specific network backend types (vhost-user and
vhost-vdpa) to determine their supported maximum queue size. This
created direct dependencies and would require modifications for
every new backend that supports variable queue sizes.
To improve flexibility, a new max_tx_queue_size field is added
to the vhost_net structure. This allows each network backend
to advertise its supported maximum transmit queue size directly.
The virtio_net_max_tx_queue_size() function now retrieves the max
TX queue size from the vhost_net struct, if available and set.
Otherwise, it defaults to VIRTIO_NET_TX_QUEUE_DEFAULT_SIZE.

This commit introduces a save_acked_features function pointer to
vhost_net and converts the vhost_net function into a generic dispatcher.
The vhost-user backend provides the callback, making its function static.
With this change, no other module has a direct dependency on the
vhost-user implementation.
This cleanup allows for the complete removal of the net/vhost-user.h
header file.

This patch continues the effort to decouple the generic vhost layer
from specific network backend implementations.
Previously, the vhost_net initialization code contained a hardcoded
check for the vhost-user client type to retrieve its acked features
by calling vhost_user_get_acked_features(). This exposed an
internal vhost-user function in a public header and coupled the two
modules.
The vhost-user backend is updated to provide a callback, and its
getter function is now static. The call site in vhost_net.c is
simplified to use the new generic helper, removing the type check and
the direct dependency.

Previously, the vhost_net_get_feature_bits() function in
hw/net/vhost_net.c used a large switch statement to determine
the appropriate feature bits based on the NetClientDriver type.
This created unnecessary coupling between the generic vhost layer
and specific network backends (like TAP, vhost-user, and
vhost-vdpa).
This patch moves the definition of vhost feature bits directly into the
vhost_net structure for each relevant network client.

The get_vhost_net() function previously contained a large switch
statement to find the VHostNetState pointer based on the net
client's type. This created a tight coupling, requiring the generic
vhost layer to be aware of every specific backend that supported
vhost, such as tap, vhost-user, and vhost-vdpa.
This approach is not scalable and requires modifying a central function
for any new backend. It also forced each backend to expose its internal
getter function in a public header file.
This patch refactors the logic by introducing a new get_vhost_net
function pointer to the NetClientInfo struct. The central
get_vhost_net() function is now a simple, generic dispatcher that
invokes the callback provided by the net client.
Each backend now implements its own private getter and registers it in
its NetClientInfo.

While netmap implements virtio-net header, it does not implement

instead. This also fixes the buffer size for the virtio-net header.

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).
