X-Received-From: 134.134.136.20 X-Mailman-Approved-At: Mon, 07 May 2018 19:46:42 -0400 Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qemu: Introduce VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY feature bit to virtio_net X-BeenThere: qemu-devel@nongnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.21 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: qemu-devel-bounces+incoming=patchwork.ozlabs.org@nongnu.org Sender: "Qemu-devel" This feature bit can be used by hypervisor to indicate virtio_net device to act as a standby for another device with the same MAC address. I tested this with a small change to the patch to mark the STANDBY feature 'true' by default as i am using libvirt to start the VMs. Is there a way to pass the newly added feature bit 'standby' to qemu via libvirt XML file?
