In previous patchset versions, the common code did
netdev_rx_handler_register() and netdev_upper_dev_link() etc
(netvsc_vf_join()). Now, this is still done in netvsc. Why?
This should be part of the common "failover" code.
Based on Stephen's feedback on earlier patches, i tried to minimize the changes
to
netvsc and only commonize the notifier and the main event handler routine.
Another complication is that netvsc does part of registration in a delayed
workqueue.
It should be possible to move some of the code from net_failover.c to generic
failover.c in future if Stephen is ok with it.
Also note that in the current patchset you use IFF_FAILOVER flag for
master, yet for the slave you use IFF_SLAVE. That is wrong.
IFF_FAILOVER_SLAVE should be used.
Not sure which code you are referring to. I only set IFF_FAILOVER_SLAVE
in patch 3.
