Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 0/3] make mac programming for virtio net more robust
Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2013 10:43:06 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1358649789-2338-1-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.
Third 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
V4: split eth_mac_addr, fix error handle
Amos Kong (2):
move virtnet_send_command() above virtnet_set_mac_address()
virtio-net: introduce a new control to set macaddr
Stefan Hajnoczi (1):
net: split eth_mac_addr for better error handling
