From f6266b56ecd6bca3074886b37d48cf5c20f37fa3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Smith Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2019 09:43:45 -0600 Subject: vmbus: fix bug that breaks multiple netvsc vdevs VPP supports two DPDK drivers for managing netvsc devices on Azure/Hyper-V. The new netvsc PMD looks a lot like other PCI-based PMDs but it requires recently added kernel support (>=4.17). The older vdev_netvsc is an abstraction that manages the mlx4 VF and tap device underlying the netvsc interface using the failsafe PMD. Distros with older kernels (e.g. RHEL/CentOS 7.x) have to use vdev_netvsc. At startup, netvsc devices are processed and an attempt is made to initialize them for management by the netvsc PMD. If that fails, then vlib_vmbus_bind_to_uio() returns early and the device can be initialized for management by vdev_netvsc. The operation that is supposed to fail if the netvsc PMD cannot be used is registration of the netvsc device type ID with the uio_hv_generic driver. This operation is attempted exactly once so it does not fail for netvsc devices processed after the first one and they end up in a state where they cannot be initialized for use by vdev_netvsc. Only unset uio_new_id_needed if uio_hv_generic registration succeeds.
