Subject: [net-next V7 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.

This patch implements VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE feature: hypervisor would
notice the guest when it thinks it's time for guest to announce the link
presnece. Guest tests VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE bit during config change interrupt
and woule send gratuitous packets through netif_notify_peers() and ack the
notification through ctrl vq.

We need to make sure the atomicy of read and ack in guest otherwise we may ack
more times than being notified. This is done through handling the whole config
change interrupt in an non-reentrant workqueue.

Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@...hat.com>

---

Changes from v6:
- move the whole event processing to system_nrt_wq
- introduce the config_enable and config_lock to synchronize with dev removing
and pm
- protect the ack with rtnl_lock

Changes from v5:
- notify the chain before acking the link annoucement
- ack the link announcement notification through control vq

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
