[PATCH -next 0/2] virtio-net: Advised MTU feature

[PATCH -next 0/2] virtio-net: Advised MTU feature

[Aaron Conole]

The following series adds the ability for a hypervisor to set an MTU on the
guest during feature negotiation phase. This is useful for VM orchestration
when, for instance, tunneling is involved and the MTU of the various systems
should be homogenous.

The first patch adds the feature bit as described in the proposed VFIO spec
addition found at
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-dev/201603/msg00001.html

The second patch adds a user of the bit, and a warning when the guest changes
the MTU from the hypervisor advised MTU. Future patches may add more thorough
error handling.

[PATCH -next 1/2] virtio: Start feature MTU support

[Aaron Conole]

This commit adds the feature bit and associated mtu device entry for the
virtio network device. Future commits will make use of these bits to
support negotiated MTU.

[PATCH -next 2/2] virtio_net: Read the advised MTU

[Aaron Conole]

This patch checks the feature bit for the VIRTIO_NET_F_MTU feature. If it
exists, read the advised MTU and use it.

No proper error handling is provided for the case where a user changes the
negotiated MTU. A future commit will add proper error handling. Instead, a
warning is emitted if the guest changes the device MTU after previously
being given advice.

I don't see a warning and I don't think it's needed.
Patch is ok commit log isn't.

why split it out? Pls squash with the next patch.

Hi Rick,

In the future, please don't cut the list.

This was cut because it didn't make sense for such a warning to
be issued, but it seems like perhaps you may want such a feature?  I
agree with Michael, after thinking about it, that I don't know what sort
of use the warning would serve.  After all, if you're changing the MTU,
you must have wanted such a change to occur?

Okay.  I thought the usual method was make a commit which introduces the
data structure changes, and then make a commit which hooks it up.  I'll
squash this in the future.

Okay, I'll fix it when I submit v2.
