Description Michael S. Tsirkin 2016-08-14 19:54:32 EDT
Description of problem:

It is useful to expose
host MTU to guest. In particular, guest can
then disable guest offloads and be sure that packets
will fit in MTU sized receive buffers,
and / or disable host offloads and still be sure
that packets can be transmitted.

Will need to clone to linux and dpdk down the road.

QEMU RFC v3 sent on the ML:

Message-Id: <20161130101017.13382-1-maxime.coquelin@redhat.com>

In this version, the MTU value is specified by the user (management
tool) in QEMU command line via the host_mtu virtio-net parameter.
