Why was this merged? It was never signed off by any of the netvsc maintainers,
and there were still issues unresolved.
There are also namespaces issues I am fixing and this breaks them.
Will start my patch set with a revert for this. Sorry
I would appreciate if you can make the fixes on top of this patch series. I tried hard
to make sure that netvsc functionality and behavior doesn't change.
It is possible that there could be some bugs introduced, but they can be fixed.
Looks like Wei already found a bug and submitted a fix for that.
Ok, but several of these may clash with what you want for virtio.
Like:
- VF should be moved to namespace of virt device
- VF should be associated based on message from host with serial # not
registration notifier and MAC address.
- control operations should use master device reference rather than
searching based on MAC.
As you can see these are structural changes.
