netvsc: transparent VF management
This patch implements transparent fail over from synthetic NIC to SR-IOV virtual function NIC in Hyper-V environment. It is a better alternative to using bonding as is done now. Instead, the receive and transmit fail over is done internally inside the driver. Using bonding driver has lots of issues because it depends on the script being run early enough in the boot process and with sufficient information to make the association. This patch moves all that functionality into the kernel. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
