2. The main thread will handle the response and will do a

The netsec network controller IP can drive 64 address bits for DMA, and
the DMA mask is set accordingly in the driver. However, the SynQuacer
SoC, which is the only silicon incorporating this IP at the moment,
integrates this IP in a manner that leaves address bits [63:40]
unconnected.
Up until now, this has not resulted in any problems, given that the DDR
controller doesn't decode those bits to begin with. However, recent
firmware updates for platforms incorporating this SoC allow the IOMMU
to be enabled, which does decode address bits [47:40], and allocates
top down from the IOVA space, producing DMA addresses that have bits
set that have been left unconnected.
Both the DT and ACPI (IORT) descriptions of the platform take this into
account, and only describe a DMA address space of 40 bits (using either
dma-ranges DT properties, or DMA address limits in IORT named component
nodes). However, even though our IOMMU and bus layers may take such
limitations into account by setting a narrower DMA mask when creating
the platform device, the netsec probe() entrypoint follows the common
practice of setting the DMA mask uncondionally, according to the
capabilities of the IP block itself rather than to its integration into
the chip.
It is currently unclear what the correct fix is here. We could hack around
it by only setting the DMA mask if it deviates from its default value of
DMA_BIT_MASK(32). However, this makes it impossible for the bus layer to
use DMA_BIT_MASK(32) as the bus limit, and so it appears that a more
comprehensive approach is required to take DMA limits imposed by the
SoC as a whole into account.
In the mean time, let's limit the DMA mask to 40 bits. Given that there
is currently only one SoC that incorporates this IP, this is a reasonable
approach that can be backported to -stable and buys us some time to come
up with a proper fix going forward.

====================
Enable virtio_net to act as a standby for a passthru device
The main motivation for this patch is to enable cloud service providers
to provide an accelerated datapath to virtio-net enabled VMs in a
transparent manner with no/minimal guest userspace changes. This also
enables hypervisor controlled live migration to be supported with VMs that
have direct attached SR-IOV VF devices.
Patch 1 introduces a failover module that provides a generic interface for
paravirtual drivers to listen for netdev register/unregister/link change
events from pci ethernet devices with the same MAC and takeover their
datapath. The notifier and event handling code is based on the existing
netvsc implementation.
Patch 2 refactors netvsc to use the registration/notification framework
introduced by failover module.
Patch 3 introduces a net_failover driver that provides an automated
failover mechanism to paravirtual drivers via APIs to create and destroy
a failover master netdev and mananges a primary and standby slave netdevs
that get registered via the generic failover infrastructure.
Patch 4 introduces a new feature bit VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY to virtio-net
that can be used by hypervisor to indicate that virtio_net interface
should act as a standby for another device with the same MAC address.
Patch 5 extends virtio_net to use alternate datapath when available and
registered. When STANDBY feature is enabled, virtio_net driver uese the
net_failover API to create an additional 'failover' netdev that acts as
a master device and controls 2 slave devices. The original virtio_net
netdev is registered as 'standby' netdev and a passthru/vf device with
the same MAC gets registered as 'primary' netdev. Both 'standby' and
'failover' netdevs are associated with the same 'pci' device. The user
accesses the network interface via 'failover' netdev. The 'failover'
netdev chooses 'primary' netdev as default for transmits when it is
available with link up and running.
As this patch series is initially focusing on usecases where hypervisor
fully controls the VM networking and the guest is not expected to directly
configure any hardware settings, it doesn't expose all the ndo/ethtool ops
that are supported by virtio_net at this time. To support additional usecases,
it should be possible to enable additional ops later by caching the state
in failover netdev and replaying when the 'primary' netdev gets registered.
At the time of live migration, the hypervisor needs to unplug the VF device
from the guest on the source host and reset the MAC filter of the VF to
initiate failover of datapath to virtio before starting the migration. After
the migration is completed, the destination hypervisor sets the MAC filter
on the VF and plugs it back to the guest to switch over to VF datapath.
This patch is based on the discussion initiated by Jesse on this thread.

v12:
- Tested live migration with virtio-net/AVF(i40evf) configured in failover
mode while running iperf in background. Tried static ip and dhcp
configurations using 'network' scripts and Network Manager.
- Build tested netvsc module.
Updates:
- Extended generic failover module to do common functions like setting
FAILOVER_SLAVE flag, registering rx-handler and linking to upper dev in
the generic register/unregister handlers.
This required adding 3 additional failover ops pre_register, pre_unregister
and handle_frame. netvsc and net_failover drivers are updated to support
these ops.
v11:
- Split net_failover module into 2 components.
1. 'failover' module that provides generic failover infrastructure
to register a failover instance and listen for slave events.
2. 'net_failover' driver that provides APIs to create/destroy upper
netdev and supports 3-netdev model used by virtio-net.
- Added documentation
v10:
- fix net_failover_open() to update failover CARRIER correctly based on
standby and primary states.
- fix net_failover_handle_frame() to handle frames received on standby
when primary is present.
- replace netdev_upper_dev_link with netdev_master_upper_dev_link and
handle lower dev state changes.
- fix net_failver_create() and net_failover_register() interfaces to
use ERR_PTR and avoid arg **
- disable setting mac address when virtio-net in STANDBY mode
- document exported symbols
- added entry to MAINTAINERS file
v9:
Select NET_FAILOVER automatically when VIRTIO_NET/HYPERV_NET
are enabled. (stephen)
v8:
- Made the failover managment routines more robust by updating the feature
bits/other fields in the failover netdev when slave netdevs are
registered/unregistered. (mst)
- added support for handling vlans.
- Limited the changes in netvsc to only use the notifier/event/lookups
from the failover module. The slave register/unregister/link-change
handlers are only updated to use the getbymac routine to get the
upper netdev. There is no change in their functionality. (stephen)
- renamed structs/function/file names to use net_failover prefix. (mst)
v7
- Rename 'bypass/active/backup' terminology with 'failover/primary/standy'
(jiri, mst)
- re-arranged dev_open() and dev_set_mtu() calls in the register routines
so that they don't get called for 2-netdev model. (stephen)
- fixed select_queue() routine to do queue selection based on VF if it is
registered as primary. (stephen)
- minor bugfixes
v6 RFC:
Simplified virtio_net changes by moving all the ndo_ops of the
bypass_netdev and create/destroy of bypass_netdev to 'bypass' module.
avoided 2 phase registration(driver + instances).
introduced IFF_BYPASS/IFF_BYPASS_SLAVE dev->priv_flags
replaced mutex with a spinlock
v5 RFC:
Based on Jiri's comments, moved the common functionality to a 'bypass'
module so that the same notifier and event handlers to handle child
register/unregister/link change events can be shared between virtio_net
and netvsc.
Improved error handling based on Siwei's comments.
v4:
- Based on the review comments on the v3 version of the RFC patch and
Jakub's suggestion for the naming issue with 3 netdev solution,
proposed 3 netdev in-driver bonding solution for virtio-net.
v3 RFC:
- Introduced 3 netdev model and pointed out a couple of issues with
that model and proposed 2 netdev model to avoid these issues.
- Removed broadcast/multicast optimization and only use virtio as
backup path when VF is unplugged.
v2 RFC:
- Changed VIRTIO_NET_F_MASTER to VIRTIO_NET_F_BACKUP (mst)
- made a small change to the virtio-net xmit path to only use VF datapath
for unicasts. Broadcasts/multicasts use virtio datapath. This avoids
east-west broadcasts to go over the PCI link.
- added suppport for the feature bit in qemu
