[PATCH v2 2/2] hv_netvsc: pair VF based on serial number

2018-09-14 Thread Stephen Hemminger
Matching network device based on MAC address is problematic since a non VF network device can be creted with a duplicate MAC address causing confusion and problems. The VMBus API does provide a serial number that is a better matching method. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger --- drivers/net/hype
