This casts the vlan model into concrete. I thought we wanted to
move away
from it? Instead have separate entries for host and guest devices.
The vlan attribute is optional. In this case, it is a vlan inside the
context of the VM. I've searched the archives and I've found some
references about the confusion about real VLANs (802.1Q) and QEMU's
vlans. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I suppose they are completely
different animals.
Right. I'm talking about the qemu internal vlans.
When you say separate entries for host and guest devices, you mean
something like this:
$ qemu -netdev tap,id=tap0 -device e1000,netdev=tap0
This makes a 1:1 relation. So clearly tap0 is a host device, e1000.0
will be a guest device, and they are connected.
Yes. I'd want separate queries for each, or perhaps a single query
that returns
{ 'hostdev': some-object-with-host-device-properties-only, 'nic':
some-object-that-describes-the-guest-nic }
We need a query-netdev and then info qdm already provides the guest nic
properties. Just filter out devices that have a netdev property.

Anthony Liguori
$ qemu -net tap,ifname=tap0 -net nic,model=e1000
This glues the two devices into a vlan inside the VM.
Do you mean that this second model should be deprecated?
I think it is. It doesn't play well with acceleration technologies
like vhost that want a 1:1 relationship.
