The "-net dump" option only works with the "-net" option. So far, it
is not possible to dump network traffic with the "-netdev" option yet.
This patch series now fixes this ugliness by enabling dumping for the
netdev devices via the new netfilter infrastructure from Yang Hongyang.
The dumping filter can be used like this for example:
ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64 -device virtio-net,netdev=mynet \
-netdev user,id=mynet,tftp=/tmp/tftp,bootfile=zImage \
-object filter-dump,id=f0,netdev=mynet,file=/tmp/dumpfile.dat
Changes in v2:
- Only rebased to master branch (to suit the final version of the
netfilter patches that are now merged into master)
Thomas Huth (5):
net/dump: Add support for receive_iov function
net/dump: Rework net-dump init functions
net/dump: Separate the NetClientState from the DumpState
net/dump: Provide the dumping facility as a net filter
options: Add documentation for filter-dump
