[PATCH v5 0/3] make mac programming for virtio net more robust
Currenly mac is programmed byte by byte. This means that we have an intermediate step where mac is wrong. Third patch introduced a new vq control command to set mac address, it's atomic. V2: check return of sending command, delay eth_mac_addr() V3: restore software address when fail to set hardware address V4: split eth_mac_addr, fix error handle V5: rebase patches to net-next tree Amos Kong (2): move virtnet_send_command() above virtnet_set_mac_address() virtio-net: introduce a new control to set macaddr Stefan Hajnoczi (1): net: split eth_mac_addr for better error handling drivers/net/virtio_net.c| 110 ++- include/linux/etherdevice.h |2 + include/uapi/linux/virtio_net.h |8 +++- net/ethernet/eth.c | 41 -- 4 files changed, 106 insertions(+), 55 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
