From: Konstantin Taranov <kotaranov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch series aims to allow mana_ib to get master netdev from mana. In the netvsc deployment, the VF netdev is enslaved by netvsc and the upper device should be considered for the network state. In the baremetal case, the VF netdev is a master device. I would appreciate if I could get Acks on it from: * netvsc maintainers (e.g., Haiyang) * net maintainers (e.g., Jakub, David, Eric, Paolo) v1 -> v2: Leon Romanovsky asked to make a helper in the net/mana and get acks from net maintainers.
