[PATCH v2 0/2] hv_netvsc: associate VF and PV device by serial number

2018-09-14 Thread Stephen Hemminger
The Hyper-V implementation of PCI controller has concept of 32 bit serial number (not to be confused with PCI-E serial number). This value is sent in the protocol from the host to indicate SR-IOV VF device is attached to a synthetic NIC. Using the serial number (instead of MAC address) to associ
