[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 4/5] vfio-pci: Add FAILOVER_PRIMARY_CHANGED event to shorten downtime during failover

[Venu Busireddy <venu.busireddy@oracle.com>]

From: Si-Wei Liu <si-wei.liu@oracle.com>

When a VF is hotplugged into the guest, datapath switching will be
performed immediately, which is sub-optimal in terms of timing, and
could end up with substantial network downtime. One of ways to shorten
this downtime is to switch the datapath only after the VF is seen to get
enabled by guest, indicated by the bus master bit in VF's PCI config
space getting enabled. The FAILOVER_PRIMARY_CHANGED event is emitted
at that time to indicate this condition. Then management stack can kick
off datapath switching upon receiving the event.
