Subject: [V5 PATCH] virtio-net: send gratuitous packets when needed
As hypervior does not have the knowledge of guest network configuration, it's
better to ask guest to send gratuitous packets when needed.
Guest tests 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 v4:
- typos
- handle workqueue unconditionally
- move VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE to bit 8 to separate rw bits from ro bits
Changes from v3:
- cancel the workqueue during freeze
Changes from v2:
- fix the race between unregister_dev() and workqueue
