When using a VDPA device, it is important to ensure that the MAC address is correctly set. We add a new parameter to enable this check in this patch series. Only three MAC configurations are acceptable; any others will fail to boot
The usage is: .... -netdev type=vhost-vdpa,vhostdev=/dev/vhost-vdpa-0,id=vhost-vdpa0,check-mac=true\ -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=vhost-vdpa0\ .... tested by ConnectX-6 Dx/vdpa_sim 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 clearer change in v4 1. Change the new parameter's name to check-mac 2. Change the comment and make it clearer change in v5 1. These patches haven't been merged for a while, so I rebased them with the latest code and resubmitted change in v6 1. Address comments 2. Rebase with the latest QEMU change in v7 1. Enable this check by default 2.
