From: Long Li <lon...@microsoft.com> When a VF is being exposed form the kernel, it should be marked as "slave" before exposing to the user-mode. The VF is not usable without netvsc running as master. The user-mode should never see a VF without the "slave" flag.
An example of a user-mode program depending on this flag is cloud-init (https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/blob/19.3/cloudinit/net/__init__.py) When scanning interfaces, it checks on if this interface has a master to decide if it should be configured. There are other user-mode programs perform similar checks. This commit moves the code of setting the slave flag to the time before VF is exposed to user-mode. Signed-off-by: Long Li <lon...@microsoft.com> --- Change since v1: Use a new function to handle NETDEV_POST_INIT. Change since v2: Add "net" in subject. Add more details on the user-mode program behavior. Change since v3: Change target to net-next. drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c | 24 +++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c b/drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c index ec77fb9dcf89..fdad58dcc6a8 100644 --- a/drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c +++ b/drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c @@ -2206,9 +2206,6 @@ static int netvsc_vf_join(struct net_device *vf_netdev, goto upper_link_failed; } - /* set slave flag before open to prevent IPv6 addrconf */ - vf_netdev->flags |= IFF_SLAVE; - schedule_delayed_work(&ndev_ctx->vf_takeover, VF_TAKEOVER_INT); call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_JOIN, vf_netdev); @@ -2320,11 +2317,9 @@ static struct net_device *get_netvsc_byslot(const struct net_device *vf_netdev) */ list_for_each_entry(ndev_ctx, &netvsc_dev_list, list) { ndev = hv_get_drvdata(ndev_ctx->device_ctx); - if (ether_addr_equal(vf_netdev->perm_addr, ndev->perm_addr)) { - netdev_notice(vf_netdev, - "falling back to mac addr based matching\n"); + if (ether_addr_equal(vf_netdev->perm_addr, ndev->perm_addr) || + ether_addr_equal(vf_netdev->dev_addr, ndev->perm_addr)) return ndev; - } } netdev_notice(vf_netdev, @@ -2332,6 +2327,19 @@ static struct net_device *get_netvsc_byslot(const struct net_device *vf_netdev) return NULL; } +static int netvsc_prepare_slave(struct net_device *vf_netdev) +{ + struct net_device *ndev; + + ndev = get_netvsc_byslot(vf_netdev); + if (!ndev) + return NOTIFY_DONE; + + /* set slave flag before open to prevent IPv6 addrconf */ + vf_netdev->flags |= IFF_SLAVE; + return NOTIFY_DONE; +} + static int netvsc_register_vf(struct net_device *vf_netdev) { struct net_device_context *net_device_ctx; @@ -2753,6 +2761,8 @@ static int netvsc_netdev_event(struct notifier_block *this, return NOTIFY_DONE; switch (event) { + case NETDEV_POST_INIT: + return netvsc_prepare_slave(event_dev); case NETDEV_REGISTER: return netvsc_register_vf(event_dev); case NETDEV_UNREGISTER: -- 2.34.1
