Why do you use this rather than the qemu_mac_strdup_printf() function
defined above?

qemu_mac_strdup_printf():
  890ee6abb385 ("net: add MAC address string printer")

MAC_FMT/MAC_ARG:
  6d1d4939a647 ("net: Add macros for MAC address tracing")

MAC_FMT/MAC_ARG seems to be reserved for tracing.

Thanks,

@peer is optional.  I assume its present when the device is connected
(frontend to backend or vice versa).  Correct?

We use plain @queues elsewhere in the schema.

How @hub is related to @peer is not quite obvious to me.  Can you give
an example where @hub is present?

What does "perm-" mean?

It's optional.  When exactly is it present?

This is a copy of union 'Netdev' with a few additional common members
(@peer, @queues-count, @hub, @perm-mac).  I can't see how to avoid the
duplication without adding nesting on the wire.

Like HMP "info network" and -net, this mixes frontends ("type": "nic")
and backends.  Unlike query-chardev and query-block.  Hmm.

A long time ago, all we had was -net: "-net nic" for configuring
frontends, "-net none" for suppressing a default frontend + backend, and
"-net anything-else" for configuring backends.  "info network" showed
the stuff set up with -net.

In v0.12, we got -device for configuring frontends, and -netdev for
backends.  -netdev is like -net less "none", "nic", and the hub
weirdness.  "info network" was extended to also show all this.

In v2.12, we got -nic, replacing -net nic.

Unless I'm missing something, -net is just for backward compatibility
now.

What's the use case for query-networks reporting frontends?

Somehow, I managed not to notice this feature.
Thank you for pointing this out, I will definitely fix this place.

Yes, this field stores connected frontend/backend device @id.

NetdevHubPortOptions has an option @hubid. @hub gives that id, if
netdev is connected to the hub via hubport. As example:

HMP:

hub 0
 \ hub0port1: socket.0: index=0,type=socket,
 \ hub0port0: virtio-net-pci.0: index=0,type=nic,model=virtio-net-pci,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56

QMP:

[
  {
    "peer": "hub0port0",
    "netdev": "hub0port0",
    "hub": 0,
    "model": "virtio-net-pci",
    "macaddr": "52:54:00:12:34:56",
    "type": "nic",
    "queues-count": 1,
    "id": "virtio-net-pci.0"
  },
  {
    "peer": "hub0port1",
    "listen": "127.0.0.1:90",
    "hub": 0,
    "type": "socket",
    "queues-count": 1,
    "id": "socket.0"
  },
  {
    "peer": "socket.0",
    "netdev": "socket.0",
    "hub": 0,
    "hubid": 0,
    "type": "hubport",
    "queues-count": 1,
    "id": "hub0port1"
  },
  {
    "peer": "virtio-net-pci.0",
    "netdev": "virtio-net-pci.0",
    "hub": 0,
    "hubid": 0,
    "type": "hubport",
    "queues-count": 1,

  }
]

@perm-mac is the permanent (original) MAC address. It only used
for nic, because most of nic realizations can change MAC at
runtime and/or reset it to default (permanent) value.

In my vision, new QMP command is the replacement for old
HMP command. It must provide information about all
network devices, mainly for recreate similar net topology.
Currently, there are no differrence between fronted and
backend devices in context of my command, because
all of them use the same interface in NetClientState.

Sorry, I lost a point in discussion.

As I wrote early, main reason for mix frontend and backend devices is for
easy recreation of current state of network. As we have common structure
for all netdevs (`struct NetClientState`), I think, that it'll be good
idea to iterate using `net_clients`.
There is no such trouble to split `query-netdevs` by two, for example,
`query-front-netdevs` and `query-back-netdevs`, but in my opinion it'll
break consistancy in getting links between netdevs.
