From 66b52b0dc82c5c88d769dc1c7d44cf45d0deb07c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Pirko Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2013 18:16:49 +0200 Subject: net: add ndo to get id of physical port of the device This patch adds a ndo for getting physical port of the device. Driver which is aware of being virtual function of some physical port should implement this ndo. This is applicable not only for IOV, but for other solutions (NPAR, multichannel) as well. Basically if there is possible to have multiple netdevs on the single hw port. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Acked-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S.
