This series fixes several issues in the netvsc PMD's VF hot-plug retry
logic and adds support for MANA service reset (suspend/resume) recovery.
Patches 1-5 fix the VF hot-add retry path to handle Azure-specific
timing issues: slow MANA driver probe (>100s), udev interface renames,
asynchronous mana_ib registration, and multi-NIC staggered VF
appearance.
Patch 6 fixes per-queue stats forwarding from VF to netvsc.
Patch 7 adds recovery event handling for MANA service resets, where
the kernel suspends/resumes the VF without PCI remove.
v3:
- Patch 1: wrapped rte_eal_alarm_set lines to fix checkpatch
line-length warning
- Patch 4: changed "retry loop exiting" log from NOTICE to DEBUG
to avoid noise on every successful VF re-attach
- Patch 6: removed dead -ENOTSUP fallback to rte_eth_stats_get,
replaced with direct -ENOTSUP return; documented caller contract
for zeroed buffers
- Patch 7: deferred all recovery callbacks via rte_eal_alarm_set
consistent with INTR_RMV pattern; dropped unlocked vf_attached
guard in recovery_failed; cancel new alarms in hn_vf_close
v2:
- Patch 1: added comment explaining why indefinite retry is safe
- Patch 2: changed SIOCGIFHWADDR retry log to DEBUG
- Patch 3: restored ERR log for non-ENODEV/EEXIST failures
- Patch 4: changed per-iteration logs from NOTICE to DEBUG;
used RTE_ETHER_ADDR_PRT_FMT macros
- Patch 5: fixed commit message (limit 120 not 30); changed
mac_retry log to DEBUG; explicit NULL comparisons
- Patch 6: added comment for direct dev_ops call; added -ENOTSUP
fallback
- Patch 7: added dev_started check in recovery_success; added
vf_attached guard in recovery_failed
Long Li (7):
net/netvsc: retry VF hotplug indefinitely until PCI device disappears
net/netvsc: retry on SIOCGIFHWADDR failure during VF hotplug
net/netvsc: retry full probe when IB device not ready during hotplug
net/netvsc: add debug logging for VF hotplug retry
net/netvsc: retry when no matching MAC found in net directory
net/netvsc: forward per-queue stats from VF device
net/netvsc: handle VF recovery events for service reset
