net/socket: learn to talk with a unix dgram socket
-net socket has a fd argument, and may be passed pre-opened sockets. TCP sockets use framing. UDP sockets have datagram boundaries. When given a unix dgram socket, it will be able to read from it, but will attempt to send on the dgram_dst, which is unset. The other end will not receive the data. Let's teach -net socket to recognize a UNIX DGRAM socket, and use the regular send() command (without dgram_dst). This makes running slirp out-of-process possible that way (python pseudo-code): a, b = socket.socketpair(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) subprocess.Popen('qemu -net socket,fd=%d -net user' % a.fileno(), shell=True) subprocess.Popen('qemu ... -net nic -net socket,fd=%d' % b.fileno(), shell=True) Signed-off-by:Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:
