From 0102c8c7fdfc4bd700971daff2b94470f4eafae4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dapeng Mi Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 09:52:33 +0800 Subject: perf/x86/intel: Rename DMR offcore_rsp attribute to offmodule_rsp DMR introduces Offmodule Response events in place of the legacy Offcore Response events, but it still exposes the inherited offcore_rsp PMU attribute for programming the corresponding MSR data. Rename the DMR PMU attribute to offmodule_rsp so the sysfs interface matches the underlying event name and avoids user & tooling confusion.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +======== +FAILOVER +======== + +Overview +======== + +The failover module provides a generic interface for paravirtual drivers +to register a netdev and a set of ops with a failover instance. The ops +are used as event handlers that get called to handle netdev register/ +unregister/link change/name change events on slave pci ethernet devices +with the same mac address as the failover netdev. + +This enables paravirtual drivers to use a VF as an accelerated low latency +datapath. It also allows live migration of VMs with direct attached VFs by +failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged. -- cgit v1.3.1
