[RFC] virtio-net: check the mac address for vdpa device
Posted by Cindy Lu 5 months, 3 weeks ago
When using VDPA device, we should verify whether the MAC address in the
hardware matches the MAC address from the QEMU command line. If not,
we will need to update the related information.

This seems to be a workaround, for example it means the mac address
set from the qemu command line has the higher priority compared to the
one that is provisioned by the host?

At least we need to have a warning here?

Thanks

In this design, the MAC address from the host will take higher
priority over the MAC address from the command line. I'm not sure if
this is acceptable?
sure, will add some warning here

That's fine but it seems not what I read for this patch?

As you try to set config, or anything I missed here?

yes I use   vhost_net_get_config(get_vhost_net(nc->peer), (uint8_t *)&netcfg,
 ETH_ALEN); to get the mac  from hardware and copy it
to n->nic_conf.macaddr and n->mac
  memcpy(&n->nic_conf.macaddr, &netcfg.mac, sizeof(MACAddr));
  memcpy(&n->mac[0], &netcfg.mac, sizeof(MACAddr));
qemu will use this information for the following steps

I think we need to explain:

1) why do we need a get_config in realization, or what happens if we
don't do that. (AFAIK we will call get_config when a guest is trying
to read the config space).
2) why do we need a set_config, what happens if we don't do that.
