Do we need to document that the driver must not do

Patch 1 introduces a new feature bit VIRTIO_NET_F_BACKUP that can be used by hypervisor to indicate that virtio_net interface should act as a backup for another device with the same MAC address. Ppatch 2 is in response to the community request for a 3 netdev solution. However, it creates some issues we'll get into in a moment. It extends virtio_net to use alternate datapath when available

From: Aaron Conole <aconole at bytheb.org> The virtio committee recently ratified a change, VIRTIO-152, which defines the mtu field to be 'max' MTU, not simply desired MTU. This commit brings the virtio-net device in compliance with VIRTIO-152. Additionally, drop the max_mtu branch - it cannot be taken since the u16 returned by virtio_cread16 will never exceed the initial value of

The following series adds the ability for a hypervisor to set an MTU on the guest during feature negotiation phase. This is useful for VM orchestration when, for instance, tunneling is involved and the MTU of the various systems should be homogenous. The first patch adds the feature bit as described in the proposed VFIO spec addition found at

The main motivation for this patch is to enable cloud service providers to provide an accelerated datapath to virtio-net enabled VMs in a transparent manner with no/minimal guest userspace changes. This also enables hypervisor controlled live migration to be supported with VMs that have direct attached SR-IOV VF devices. Patch 1 introduces a new feature bit VIRTIO_NET_F_BACKUP that can be used

balloon device is not part of virtio 1.0 spec. Still, it's easy enough to make it handle endian-ness exactly as other virtio 1.0 devices: what we gain from this, is that there's no need to special-case it in virtio core. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
