hv_netvsc: Implement support for VF drivers on Hyper-V
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1616677 Support VF drivers on Hyper-V. On Hyper-V, each VF instance presented to the guest has an associated synthetic interface that shares the MAC address with the VF instance. Typically these are bonded together to support live migration. By default, the host delivers all the incoming packets on the synthetic interface. Once the VF is up, we need to explicitly switch the data path on the host to divert traffic onto the VF interface. Even after switching the data path, broadcast and multicast packets are always delivered on the synthetic interface and these will have to be injected back onto the VF interface (if VF is up). This patch implements the necessary support in netvsc to support Linux VF drivers. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
