Add new UAPI to support the mac address from vdpa tool Function vdpa_nl_cmd_dev_config_set_doit() will get the MAC address from the vdpa tool and then set it to the device. The usage is: vdpa dev set name vdpa_name mac **:**:**:**:**:**Why don't you use devlink?Fair question. Why does vdpa-specific uapi even exist? To have driver-specific uapi Does not make any sense to me :/I am not sure which uapi do you refer to? The one this patch proposes or the existing one?Sure, I'm sure pointing out, that devlink should have been the answer instead of vdpa netlink introduction. That ship is sailed,
now we have unfortunate api duplication which leads to questions like Jakub's one. That's all :/
Yea there's no point to argue now, there were arguments this and that way. I don't think we currently have a lot of duplication, do we? -- MST
