Subject: [Patch net-next v2] hv_netvsc: Set device flags for properly indicating bonding in Hyper-V

From: [email-masked]
Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2024 12:06:01 -0800

From: Long Li <[email-masked]>

On Hyper-V platforms, a slave VF netdev always bonds to Netvsc and remains
as Netvsc's only active slave as long as the slave device is present. This
behavior is not user-configurable.

Other kernel APIs (e.g those in "include/linux/netdevice.h") check for
IFF_MASTER, IFF_SLAVE and IFF_BONDING for determing if those are used
in a master/slave bonded setup. RDMA uses those APIs extensively when
looking for master/slave devices. Netvsc's bonding setup with its slave
device falls into this category.

Make hv_netvsc properly indicate bonding with its slave and change the
API to reflect this bonding setup.

v2: instead of re-using IFF_BOND, introduce permanent_bond in netdev
