By definition QEMU will never send a NETDEV_STREAM_DISCONNECTED event if it doesn't support the reconnect option for a stream netdev (and even if, by some comedy of errors, it did send NETDEV_STREAM_DISCONNECTED in that case, our response to the event doesn't request anything at all of QEMU (much less something that would fail if QEMU didn't understand NETDEV_STREAM_DISCONNETED) - it just starts a new passt process to replace the one that has just been terminated, so we don't need to check the QEMU capabilities for QEMU_CAPS_NETDEV_STREAM_RECONNECT.

We will be adding a new event whose response will be *exactly* the same as the response to NETDEV_STREAM_DISCONNECTED. Rather than doing a copy-paste of the complete function that does the processing, turn that function into something more generic that takes the name of the event as an arg (the event name is only used in log messages).

This response to this event is identical to NETDEV_STREAM_DISCONNECTED (start a new passt process to replace the one that just disappeared - see commitf62ce81b8a5), except that the new passt process will have "--vhost-user" appended to the commandline. Fortunately that difference is already handled based on the virDomainNetDef contents, so we can, in fact, respond to the new event in exactly the same manner.

When "original passt" support was added, we decided that we always wanted to reconnect (i.e. restart the passt process) if it was somehow terminated. Generic vhost-user only turns on reconnect if specified in the config, but there is no reason to require this if the other end of the vhost-user socket is a passt process - we know what has happened and what we want to do; no reason to make the default configuration "do the *wrong* thing".

On 4/10/25 2:55 AM, Jiri Denemark wrote: Nope. Actually I thought about this when giving the commit messages a final look before I sent last night/morning - just as with the socket path for the associated character device is hardcoded when vhostuser is being used for passt, the reconnect timeout for the character device is hardcoded, so it's not just a "default", it is the only possible value. I'll reflect that in the commit log. The entire net->data.vhostuser part of the object isn't configurable when vhostuser is being used for passt, the corresponding attributes in <source> aren't allowed in the input XML, and won't be output when the object is formatted. Except that the user can't set it :-) Correct. This is the same behavior as for non-vhostuser passt, where we decided that there was no downside to having reconnect always enabled and no reasonable way to explain how or why a user should modify the timeout, so made it always on and always 5 second timeout. Sure, I can do that. Thanks for the quick review!
