Merge branch 'virtio_net-vdpa-update-mac-address-when-it-is-generated-by-virtio-net'
Laurent Vivier says: ==================== virtio_net: vdpa: update MAC address when it is generated by virtio-net When the MAC address is not provided by the vdpa device virtio_net driver assigns a random one without notifying the device. The consequence, in the case of mlx5_vdpa, is the internal routing tables of the device are not updated and this can block the communication between two namespaces. To fix this problem, use virtnet_send_command(VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MAC) to set the address from virtnet_probe() when the MAC address is not provided by the device. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230127204500.51930-1-lvivier@redhat.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
