[PATCH net-next v8 0/4] Enable virtio_net to act as a standby for a passthru device
This is another update based on feedback from MST and Stephen on the last patchset. Hopefully this series can be integrated and any further enhancements can be made on top of this patchset. v8: - Made the failover managment routines more robust by updating the feature bits/other fields in the failover netdev when slave netdevs are registered/unregistered. (mst) - added support for handling

[PATCH net-next v10 0/4] Enable virtio_net to act as a standby for a passthru device
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_STANDBY that can be used

[PATCH net-next v11 3/5] net: Introduce net_failover driver
The net_failover driver provides an automated failover mechanism via APIs to create and destroy a failover master netdev and mananges a primary and standby slave netdevs that get registered via the generic failover infrastructure. The failover netdev acts a master device and controls 2 slave devices. The original paravirtual interface gets registered as 'standby' slave netdev and a

[RFC PATCH net-next v2 0/2] Enable virtio to act as a backup for a passthru device
This patch series extends virtio_net to take over VF datapath by simulating a transparent bond without creating any additional netdev. I understand that there are some comments suggesting an alternate model that is based on 3 driver model(virtio_net, VF driver, a new driver virt_bond that acts as a master to virtio_net and VF). Would like to get some feedback on the right way to solve the live
