Use the registration/notification framework supported by the generic failover infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sridhar.samudrala@intel.com>In previous patchset versions, the common code did netdev_rx_handler_register() and netdev_upper_dev_link() etc (netvsc_vf_join()). Now, this is still done in netvsc. Why? This should be part of the common "failover" code.Also note that in the current patchset you use IFF_FAILOVER flag for master, yet for the slave you use IFF_SLAVE. That is wrong. IFF_FAILOVER_SLAVE should be used.
Or drop IFF_FAILOVER_SLAVE and set both IFF_FAILOVER and IFF_SLAVE? -- MST
