This 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.

It exposes 2 sets of interfaces to the paravirtual drivers.
1. existing netvsc driver that uses 2 netdev model. In this model, no
master netdev is created. The paravirtual driver registers each instance
of netvsc as a 'failover' instance  along with a set of ops to manage the
slave events.
     failover_register()
     failover_unregister()
2. new virtio_net based solution that uses 3 netdev model. In this model,
the failover module provides interfaces to create/destroy additional master
netdev and all the slave events are managed internally.
      failover_create()
      failover_destroy()
These functions call failover_register()/failover_unregister() with the
master netdev created by the failover module.

I like this patch. Yes something to improve (see below)

I think you should copy the header from bond_main.c upon which
some of the code seems to be based.

Why? Pls change this comment so it explains the motivation
rather than just repeat what the code does.

I suspect this was copied from bond. this variable is never
used and I'm even surprised gcc did not warn about this.

How do we know slave supports this MTU? same applies to
failover_change_mtu.

Don't you need to get stats from it? This device is going away ...

And I think it's a good idea to get stats from device here too.

... for now. It would be possible easy to make this generic -
just copy things like type and addr_len from slave.

Is this going through qdisc twice? Won't this hurt performance

OK but then you must make sure your primary and standby both
support these features.

OK MTU is copied, fine. But is this always enough?

How about e.g. hard_header_len? min_header_len? needed_headroom?
needed_tailroom? I'd worry that even if you cover existing ones more
might be added with time.  A function copying config between devices
probably belongs in some central place IMHO.

So it bothers me that this ties to just any device at all.

I thought hard about it, and I see a nice solution.
Here goes:

QEMU has a pci-bridge-seat device. It is used currently to
group e.g. input devices for multiseat support.

Now if you squint at it hard enough, you can see we are also
in a grouping problem. So how about the following:

1. allocate a virtio pci bridge device failover grouping id (reserve through virtio TC).
2. only group two devices in a failover configuration if both
   are under the same bridge with this id (in addition to a mac check).

In particular a bridged configuration makes it easier to
make sure the standby is enumerated before the primary.
In fact we could fail init of failover if we see
appear standby *after* primary.

And this allows many devices with the same ethernet address
without any issues - just under separate bridges.

Further if we ever want to enumerate in parallel this can
be supported by adding a driver for the bridge.

In fact, I see how down the road such a device could
be the beginning of the more ambitious plan to
expose a powerful switchdev interface for
more advanced 


So far so good, but I see a couple of issues:

- it is PCI specific
	 Not a big deal: we limit ourselves to PCI anyway ATM.

- does not work across PCI domains - which are helpful for NUMA
  (e.g. we want to be able to move to primary
   which is on a different numa
   node without losing connectivity).

	Idea: add a "group ID" register to each of these pci bridge
	devices (e.g. in device specific config space).
	Match two bridges if they have the same group ID.

- all these extra bridges slow enumeration down somewhat

	Idea: as a fallback if no bridge is found,
	just assume all devices match, which will result
	in falling back on the "match by mac" logic like in
	this patchset. Will be fine for simple setups.
	

Thoughts?

Yes. some of the code is based on bonding/team and netvsc. i added a reference
to netvsc in the comment, will also include bonding/team driver.

Thanks for catching, I broke this when i moved the dev_open() and dev_set_mtu()
calls from register to join. I need to reset slave_dev mtu to orig_mtu on failure.

The err check below should catch it and we will reset the mtu back and
fail the join/register.

ok. failover_create can copy these values from standby_dev and
we can validate that they match when primary_dev registers.

The failover dev has no queue (IFF_NO_QUEUE) , so doesn't go through qdisc twice.

I think it should be possible to add it be calling the lower dev ndo_xdp routines
with proper checks. can we add this later?

I guess i need to add something like bond_compute_features() to handle this.

ok. will add a function that handles these fields too.

link down is often indication of a hardware problem.
lower dev might stop responding down the road.

I'd be concerned that if you don't xdp userspace will keep poking
at lower devs. Then it will stop working if you add this later.

The failover device is better off not providing in-driver XDP since
there are already skbs allocated by the time that we see the packet
here anyway. As such generic XDP is the preferred way to handle this
since it will work regardless of what lower devices are present.

The only advantage of having XDP down at the virtio or VF level would
be that it performs better, but at the cost of complexity since we
would need to rebind the eBPF program any time a device is hotplugged
out and then back in. For now the current approach is in keeping with
how bonding and other similar drivers are currently handling this.

Thanks.

Should we rename all these structs net_failover?
It's possible to extend the concept to storage I think.

Does this make callers do something sane?
Shouldn't these return an error?

struct pfailover seems like a typo.

Does anyone test return value of unregister?
should this be void?

We could, the only downside is that the names become longer. i think we need
to change the filenames and the function names also to be consistent.

Yes. i think i should return -EOPNOTSUPP here, so that we fail
when CONFIG_NET_FAILOVER is not enabled and the virtio-net driver is trying
to create a failover device.

yes. will also change the return to -EOPNOTSUPP
