I don't think this is sufficient.
If both primary and standby devices are present, a legacy guest
without
support for the feature might see two devices with same mac and get
confused.
I think that we should only make primary visible after guest acked the
backup feature bit.
I think we want exactly the reverse? E.g fail the negotiation when
guest
does not ack backup feature.
Otherwise legacy guest won't even have the chance to see primary
device in
the guest.
That's by design.
And on reset or when backup is cleared in some other way, unplug the
primary.
What if guest does not support hotplug?
It shouldn't ack the backup feature then and it's a good point.
We should both document this and check kernel config has
hotplug support. Sridhar could you take a look pls?
Right now we select NET_FAILOVER when virtio-net is enabled, Should we
select
PCI_HOTPLUG when NET_FAILOVER is enabled?
Maybe I was wrong but it looks to me PCI_HOTPLUG is no sufficient since
it depends on other to work e.g HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI.
Thanks
