[RFC 07/10] vhost: add net status feature to VDUSE

Eugenio Pérez eperezma at redhat.com
Wed Feb 11 17:14:54 CET 2026


From: Maxime Coquelin <maxime.coquelin at redhat.com>

Enable the VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS feature for VDUSE devices.
This allows the device to report link status (e.g.,
VIRTIO_NET_S_LINK_UP). It also allows the device to signal the driver
that it needs to send gratuitous ARP with VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE.
