[PATCH v3 0/4] virtio_net: Add the check for vdpa's mac address

[PATCH v3 0/4] virtio_net: Add the check for vdpa's mac address

[Cindy Lu]

When using a VDPA device, it is important to ensure that the MAC
address is correctly set.Here we add Add a new parameter to 
enable this check.
There are only three acceptable situations for MAC setup; any other
configuration will fail to boot.

The usage is:
....
-netdev type=vhost-vdpa,vhostdev=/dev/vhost-vdpa-0,id=vhost-vdpa0,macstrickcheck=true\
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=vhost-vdpa0\
....

tested by ConnectX-6 Dx device

change in v3
1. add a new parameter to enable the check and keep the old behavior
2. adjust the comment and make it more clear

Cindy Lu (4):
  vhost_vdpa : Add a new parameter to enable check mac address
  virtio_net: Add the check for vdpa's mac address
  virtio_net: Add the 2rd acceptable situation for Mac setup.
  virtio_net: Add the 3rd acceptable situation for Mac setup.

[PATCH v3 1/4] vhost_vdpa : Add a new parameter to enable check mac address

[Cindy Lu]

When using a VDPA device, it's important to ensure that the MAC
address is correctly set.
Add a new parameter in qemu cmdline to enable this check, default value
is false

The usage is:
....
-netdev type=vhost-vdpa,vhostdev=/dev/vhost-vdpa-0,id=vhost-vdpa0,macstrickcheck=true\
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=vhost-vdpa0\

[PATCH v3 2/4] virtio_net: Add the check for vdpa's mac address

[Cindy Lu]

When using a VDPA device, it is important to ensure that the MAC
address is correctly set. The MAC address in the hardware should
match the MAC address from the QEMU command line. This is a recommended
configuration and will allow the system to boot.

[PATCH v3 3/4] virtio_net: Add the 2rd acceptable situation for Mac setup.

[Cindy Lu]

When using a VDPA device, the following situations are
also acceptable: the hardware MAC address is not 0,
and the MAC address in the QEMU command line is 0.

typos in command line are not welcome.
you should also separate words e.g. by dashes.
Are there more options than strict?
Also if not strict, should we still warn?
