Re: [Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH] spapr: add ibmveth to the supported network adapters list

This is an RFC patch.
The other solutions could be:
1. add ibmveth into pci_nic_models[] in hw/pci/pci.c but this would not
be correct as ibmveth is not PCI and it must appear only on pseries
machine.
2. implemement short version of qdev_print_category_devices() and call it
with DEVICE_CATEGORY_NETWORK but that would print more devices than
pci_nic_init_nofail() can handle (vmxnet3, usb-bt-dongle).
3. fix qemu_check_nic_model() to specifically say that this is a list of
PCI devices and there might be some other devices which -net nic,model+
supports but there are not PCI but that could break compatibility (some
management software may rely on this exact string).
4. Reject the patch and just say that people must stop using -net. Ok for
me :)
Since -net is kind of obsolete interface and does not seem to be extended
ever,
the proposed patch does not look too ugly, does not it?

I don't like the idea of duplicating that list.
Neither do I :) But the list itself already looks quite ugly.
Basically the list of supported -net models is incorrect today even on
x86 where you can say -net nic,model=ne2k_isa. It really is only a list
of PCI devices.
I can think of a number of convoluted ways to fix this up, but I think
that ignoring fully accuracy of the output of -net model=? is the most
straight forward thing to do.
Does any of your convoluted ways include adding a new category
(DEVICE_CATEGORY_NETWORK_LEGACY?) into enum DeviceCategory, adding devices
from the list above and fixing qemu_show_nic_models() to show what is in
the category?
Why do you even need a new category? Just take everything in the
network category and put it in the help.

Why do you even need a new category? Just take everything in the

You *can't* currently construct -net nic,model=help output from
registered qdev NICs, because:
* -net nic generally doesn't accept all qdev NICs, and
* the model names accepted by -net nic need *not* match the qdev device
model names (example: virtio != virtio-net), and
* -net nic may accept model names that map to a non-qdevified NIC (not
sure such NICs still exist).
How model names map to device models is entirely up to board code.
Boards supporting PCI use the common helper pci_nic_init_nofail() for
PCI models.
Due to the way pci_nic_init_nofail() captures model=help, the help
output lists *only* the models supported via pci_nic_init_nofail(), not
the others. That's simply a bug.
My advice would be to let -net nic rot in peace.

Because at the moment spapr creates PCI NICs (i.e. what pci_nic_init_nofail

This is an RFC patch.
The other solutions could be:
1. add ibmveth into pci_nic_models[] in hw/pci/pci.c but this would not
be correct as ibmveth is not PCI and it must appear only on pseries machine.
2. implemement short version of qdev_print_category_devices() and call it
with DEVICE_CATEGORY_NETWORK but that would print more devices than
pci_nic_init_nofail() can handle (vmxnet3, usb-bt-dongle).
3. fix qemu_check_nic_model() to specifically say that this is a list of
PCI devices and there might be some other devices which -net nic,model+
supports but there are not PCI but that could break compatibility (some
management software may rely on this exact string).
4. Reject the patch and just say that people must stop using -net. Ok for me
:)
Since -net is kind of obsolete interface and does not seem to be extended
ever,
the proposed patch does not look too ugly, does not it?
