This patch enables virtio_net to switch over to a VF datapath when STANDBY feature is enabled and a VF netdev is present with the same MAC address. It allows live migration of a VM with a direct attached VF without the need to setup a bond/team between a VF and virtio net device in the guest. It uses the API that is exported by the net_failover driver to create and and destroy a master failover netdev. When STANDBY feature is enabled, an additional netdev(failover netdev) is created that acts as a master device and tracks the state of the 2 lower netdevs. The original virtio_net netdev is marked as 'standby' netdev and a passthru device with the same MAC is registered as 'primary' netdev. The hypervisor needs to unplug the VF device from the guest on the source host and reset the MAC filter of the VF to initiate failover of datapath to virtio before starting the migration. After the migration is completed, the destination hypervisor sets the MAC filter on the VF and plugs it back to the guest to switch over to VF datapath. This patch is based on the discussion initiated by Jesse on this thread. https://marc.info/?l=linux-virtualization&m=151189725224231&w=2 Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sridhar.samudrala@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

any other computer at all.

You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that

you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over

|
This provides an automated failover mechanism via APIs to create
|
|
and destroy a failover master netdev and manages a primary and
|
|
standby slave netdevs that get registered via the generic failover
|
|
infrastructure. This can be used by paravirtual drivers to enable
|
|
an alternate low latency datapath. It alsoenables live migration of
|
|
a VM with direct attached VF by failing over to the paravirtual
|
|
datapath when the VF is unplugged.
