Subject: net/filter-redirector: add support for dynamic status on/off switching
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5193528b9f7c4e161d8695c9217b97aef2410d1f;p=thirdparty%2Fqemu.git

net/filter-redirector: add support for dynamic status on/off switching

Currently, filter-redirector does not implement the status_changed
callback, which means the 'status' property cannot be used to
dynamically enable/disable the filter at runtime. When status is
set to 'off' via QMP/HMP, the filter still receives data from the
indev chardev because the chardev handlers remain registered.

This patch adds proper support for the 'status' property:

1. Implement filter_redirector_status_changed() callback:
   - When status changes to 'off': remove chardev read handlers
   - When status changes to 'on': re-register chardev handlers
     (only if chardev is already open)

2. Update filter_redirector_setup() to respect initial status:
   - If filter is created with status=off, do not register handlers
   - This allows creating disabled filters via command line or QMP

3. Handle chardev OPENED/CLOSED events to re-arm handlers on reconnect:
   - Keep the chr_event callback installed on CLOSE so a later OPENED
     can re-register the read handlers when nf->on
   - Use qemu_chr_fe_set_handlers_full(..., set_open=false, sync_state=false)
     instead of qemu_chr_fe_set_handlers() because the latter forces
     sync_state=true and may emit CHR_EVENT_OPENED for an already-open
     backend. Doing that from inside the chr_event callback would cause
     recursive/re-entrant OPENED handling.
