Indeed, there's nothing else except for the time spent on the negotiation needs to be emulated. This is needed for resuming windows guest from hibernation, as without a proper delay, qemu would send the packet too early ( guest even does not have a proper intr handler), which could lead windows guest hang. This patch first introduces an array of function pointers to make it possible to emulate per-register write behavior. Then traps the PHY_CTRL register write and when guest want to restart the link auto negotiation, we would down the link and mark the auto negotiation in progress in PHY_STATUS register. After time, a timer with 500 ms ( which is the minimum timeout of auto-negotation specified in 802.3 spec). The link would be up when timer expired. Test with resuming windows guest plus flood ping and linux ethtool linkstatus test. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
