From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Alex Williamson Subject: [PATCH 0/5] virtio_net: Add MAC and VLAN filtering Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2009 14:13:12 -0700 Message-ID: <20090116211312.22836.34331.stgit@debian.lart> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: rusty@rustcorp.com.au, markmc@redhat.com, kvm@vger.kernel.org To: netdev@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Sender: kvm-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org This series enables setting the virtio-net device MAC address, adds infrastructure for the new control virtqueue, and makes use of it to support set_rx_mode, unicast and multicast address lists, and supporting a hypervisor based VLAN filter. The goal is to make the virtio-net device support more of the features of a physical NIC and allow the hypervisor to discard packets we're not interested in. This version incorporates the review comments from Mark McLoughlin, specifically, much improved comments and commit logs, verifying the functionality of host not providing a MAC address, moving communication structs into virtio_net.h, adding warnings when things don't work, and making the strings grep'able. I've left the class/cmd split in the control header rather than consolidating it into a single value, I'm hoping I've made sufficient arguments for that. Also, I left the error return rather than a BUG_ON in send_command because I can't conditionally enable set_rx_mode as it's in a const struct. Instead, I've changed the caller to avoid the issue. Please comment and/or apply.
