igb: Indicate failure on vf reset for empty mac address
Commit5ac6f91d
changed the igb driver to expose a zero (empty) mac address to the VF on reset rather than a random one. However, that behavioral change also requires igbvf driver changes which can be hard especially when we want to talk to proprietary guest OSs. Looking at the code previous to the commit in Linux that made igbvf work with empty mac addresses (8d56b6d
), we can see that on reset failure the driver will try to generate a new mac address with both the old and the new code. Furthermore, ixgbe does send reset failure when it detects an empty mac address (35055928c
). So I think it's safe to make igb behave the same. With this patch I can successfully run a Windows 8.1 guest with an empty mac address and an assigned igbvf device that has no mac address set by the host. If anyone is aware of a guest driver that chokes on NACK returns of VF RESET commands, please speak up.
