From: Ammar Yasser
--vhost-kernel controls whether to use vhost-net acceleration for pasta.
It takes one of three modes: "on" requires acceleration and fails if it
isn't available, "off" never uses it, and "auto" uses it if it's
available and falls back to plain tap operation otherwise. "auto" is the
default, so an unmodified invocation picks up acceleration wherever the
kernel offers it, and behaves as before where it doesn't.
EPOLL_TYPE_VHOST_CALL means the kernel wants to notify us about data it
has written. EPOLL_TYPE_VHOST_ERROR means the kernel encountered an
internal error on vhost and wants to tell us something went wrong.
Collect the vhost state in a single struct vhost_ctx with the following
fields:
- mode: which of the three modes above was requested
- fd: file descriptor for /dev/vhost-net, which doubles as our
indication that setup succeeded
- features: virtio feature bits negotiated with vhost-net
- vq[]: kick, call and err eventfds for both queues
Modify tap_hdr_iov to create an iov with the size of a
virtio_net_mrg_rxbuf if vhost initialization has been successful (we are
in mode 'on' or 'auto' and we didn't need the tap fallback)
Move the L2_MAX_LEN_XX constants from tap.h to passt.h to avoid the
circular dependency between both files. VHOST_DESC_BYTES is defined as
the maximum l2 frame size + the size of the virtio net header, if the
length constant remains in tap.h passt.h would need to include it, but
tap.h needs to include passt.h to get the definition of `struct ctx`.
Moving the length constants to passt.h makes it free of dependency on
tap.h
