Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/2] make mac programming for virtio net more robust
Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2013 18:40:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1358419212-32356-1-git-send-email-akong@redhat.com> (raw)
From: Amos Kong <akong@redhat.com>
Currenly mac is programmed byte by byte. This means that we
have an intermediate step where mac is wrong.
Second 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
Amos Kong (2):
move virtnet_send_command() above virtnet_set_mac_address()
virtio-net: introduce a new control to set macaddr
