Vincenzo Maffione 3e11768ee1 bhyve: add backend rx backpressure to virtio-net
If a VM is flooded with more ingress packets than the guest OS
can handle, the current virtio-net code will keep reading those
packets and drop most of them as no space is available in the
receive queue. This is an undesirable receive livelock, which
is a waste of CPU and memory resources and potentially opens to
DoS attacks.
With this change, virtio-net uses the new netbe_rx_disable()
function to disable ingress operation in the backend while the
guest is short on RX buffers. Once the guest makes more buffers
available to the RX virtqueue, ingress operation is enabled again
by calling netbe_rx_enable().
