Paper "Live Migration with Pass-through Device for Linux VM" describes it. It does VF hotplug during migration. In order to maintain Network connection when VF is out, it takes advantage of Linux bonding driver to switch between VF NIC and emulated NIC. But the side affects, that requires VM to do additional configure and the performance during switching two NIC is not good. -- Best regards Tianyu Lan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
