Bypass module should check if there is already some other netdev
enslaved and refuse right there.
This will work for virtio-net with 3 netdev model, but this check has to be
done by netvsc
as its bypass_netdev is same as the backup_netdev.
Will add a flag while registering with the bypass module to indicate if the
driver is doing
a 2 netdev or 3 netdev model and based on that flag this check can be done in
bypass module
for 3 netdev scenario.
Just let me undestand it clearly. What I expect the difference would be
between 2netdev and3 netdev model is this:
2netdev:
bypass_master
/
/
VF_slave
3netdev:
bypass_master
/ \
/ \
VF_slave backup_slave
Is that correct? If not, how does it look like?
Looks correct.
VF_slave and backup_slave are the original netdevs and are present in both the
models.
In the 3 netdev model, bypass_master netdev is created and VF_slave and
backup_slave are
marked as the 2 slaves of this new netdev.
You say it looks correct and in another sentence you provide completely
different description. Could you please look again?
To be exact, 2 netdev model with netvsc looks like this.
netvsc_netdev
/
/
VF_slave
With virtio_net, 3 netdev model
bypass_netdev
/ \
/ \
VF_slave virtio_net netdev
Could you also mark the original netdev which is there now? is it
bypass_netdev or virtio_net_netdev ?
bypass_netdev
/ \
/ \
VF_slave virtio_net netdev (original)
That does not make sense.
1) You diverge from the behaviour of the netvsc, where the original
netdev is a master of the VF
2) If the original netdev is a slave, you cannot have any IP address
configured on it (well you could, but the rx_handler would eat every
incoming packet). So you will break the user bacause he would have to
move the configuration to the new master device.
This only makes sense that the original netdev becomes the master for both
netvsc and virtio_net.
Forgot to mention that bypass_netdev takes over the name of the original
netdev and
virtio_net netdev will get the backup name.
What do you mean by "name"?
bypass_netdev also is associated with the same pci device as the original
virtio_net
netdev via SET_NETDEV_DEV(). Also, we added ndo_get_phys_port_name() to
virtio_net
that will return _bkup when BACKUP feature is enabled.
So for ex: if virtio_net inteface was getting 'ens12' as the name assigned by
udev
without BACKUP feature, when BACKUP feature is enabled, the bypass_netdev
will be
named 'ens12' and the original virtio_net will get named as ens12n_bkup.
So the userspace network configuration doesn't need to change.
