[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 0/3] make mac programming for virtio net more robust

[akong]

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

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 1/3] move virtnet_send_command() above virtnet_set_mac_address()

[akong]

From: Amos Kong <akong@redhat.com>

We want to send vq command to set mac address in
virtnet_set_mac_address(), so do this function moving.
Fixed a little issue of coding style.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 2/3] net: split eth_mac_addr for better error handling

[akong]

From: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@gmail.com>

When we set mac address, software mac address in system and hardware mac
address all need to be updated. Current eth_mac_addr() doesn't allow
callers to implement error handling nicely.

This patch split eth_mac_addr() to prepare part and real commit part,
then we can prepare first, and try to change hardware address, then do
the real commit if hardware address is set successfully.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 3/3] virtio-net: introduce a new control to set macaddr

[akong]

From: Amos Kong <akong@redhat.com>

Currently we write MAC address to pci config space byte by byte,
this means that we have an intermediate step where mac is wrong.
This patch introduced a new control command to set MAC address,
it's atomic.

VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_MAC_ADDR is a new feature bit for compatibility.
