I think that we should only make primary visible after guest acked the backup feature bit.does not ack backup feature.Otherwise legacy guest won't even have the chance to see primary device inthe guest.That's by design.And on reset or when backup is cleared in some other way, unplug the primary.What if guest does not support hotplug?It shouldn't ack the backup feature then and it's a good point. We should both document this and check kernel config has hotplug support. Sridhar could you take a look pls?Right now we select NET_FAILOVER when virtio-net is enabled, Should we select PCI_HOTPLUG when NET_FAILOVER is enabled?
Maybe I was wrong but it looks to me PCI_HOTPLUG is no sufficient since it depends on other to work e.g HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI.
Thanks
