[PATCH] virtio-net: Add check for mac address while peer is vdpa

[Cindy Lu]

Sometime vdpa get an all zero mac address from the hardware, this will cause the
traffic down, So we add the check for in part.if we get an zero mac address we will
use the default/cmdline mac address instead

please do keep numbering patch versions.

How does this differ from v4 of same patch?

Lots of typos above. I guess I can just rewrite the whole log ...

Below needs a huge code comment explaining what is going on.

E.g.  if we get a valid mac from peer, use it.

If we get 0 instead
then we don't know the peer mac but since the
mac is 0 and that is not a legal value,
try to proceed assume something else (management, hardware) sets up the mac
correctly and consistently with the qemu configuration.


> +            if (memcmp(&netcfg.mac, &zero, sizeof(zero)) != 0) {

!= 0 is not necessary

So why are you skipping the copying of the whole config space? Why not
just skip the mac? Seems quite risky e.g. looks like it will break
things like reporting the link status, right?

[PATCH] virtio-net: Add check for mac address while peer is vdpa

[Cindy Lu]

Sometime vdpa get an all 0 mac address from the hardware, this will cause the traffic down
So we add the check for this part.
if we get an 0 mac address we will use the default mac address instead
