Should we rename all these structs net_failover?
It's possible to extend the concept to storage I think.

We could, the only downside is that the names become longer. i think we need
to change the filenames and the function names also to be consistent.



+void failover_destroy(struct failover *failover);

+int failover_register(struct net_device *standby_dev, struct failover_ops *ops,
+		      struct failover **pfailover);
+void failover_unregister(struct failover *failover);
+
+int failover_slave_unregister(struct net_device *slave_dev);
+
+#else
+
+static inline
+int failover_create(struct net_device *standby_dev,
+		    struct failover **pfailover);
+{
+	return 0;
Does this make callers do something sane?
Shouldn't these return an error?

Yes. i think i should return -EOPNOTSUPP here, so that we fail
when CONFIG_NET_FAILOVER is not enabled and the virtio-net driver is trying
to create a failover device.

struct pfailover seems like a typo.

yes. will also change the return to -EOPNOTSUPP

+void failover_unregister(struct failover *failover)
+{
+}
+
+static inline
+int failover_slave_unregister(struct net_device *slave_dev)
+{

Does anyone test return value of unregister?
should this be void?

yes. can be changed to void.
