From: Miao Yan <[email protected]> When reading device status, 0 means device is successfully activated and 1 means error.
This behavior can be observed by the following steps: 1) run a Linux distro on esxi server (5.5+) 2) modify vmxnet3 Linux driver to give it an invalid address to 'adapter->shared_pa' which is the shared memory for guest/host communication This will trigger device activation failure and kernel log will have the following message: [ 7138.403256] vmxnet3 0000:03:00.0 eth1: Failed to activate dev: error 1 So return 1 on device activation failure instead of -1; Signed-off-by: Miao Yan <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Dmitry Fleytman <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <[email protected]> --- hw/net/vmxnet3.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/hw/net/vmxnet3.c b/hw/net/vmxnet3.c index 9c1adfc..8a992d3 100644 --- a/hw/net/vmxnet3.c +++ b/hw/net/vmxnet3.c @@ -1662,7 +1662,7 @@ static uint64_t vmxnet3_get_command_status(VMXNET3State *s) switch (s->last_command) { case VMXNET3_CMD_ACTIVATE_DEV: - ret = (s->device_active) ? 0 : -1; + ret = (s->device_active) ? 0 : 1; VMW_CFPRN("Device active: %" PRIx64, ret); break; -- 2.5.0
