The commit log of Patch 1 explains the majority of the reason for
these patches. In short, they disambiguate the multiple netdevs per
PCI device on the SRIOV PF and VFs of a Mellanox dual port NIC *when
converting from a VF netdev to a PF netdev and vice versa*. This
permits us to set the vlan tag and MAC address for the correct VF
netdev (and detect the online status of the correct PF netdev for that
VF) when using a VF in macvtap passthrough mode. (in other words, with
these patches in place, it is possible to use *all* the VF netdevs on
both ports of a dual port mellanox NIC for macvtap passthrough.)
These patches *do not* solve the problem of saving/setting the mac
address/vlan tag for both ports when using a dual port VF for PCI
device assignment with VFIO (see my RFC email from yesterday). That is
a much more complex problem. (These patches are a prerequisite to
anything that might come out of that RFC though).

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH 1/3] util: new function virNetDevGetPhysPortID()
On Linux each network device *can* (but not necessarily *does*) have
an attribute called phys_port_id which can be read from the file of
that name in the netdev's sysfs directory. The examples I've seen have
been a many-digit hexadecimal number (as an ASCII string).
This value can be useful when a single PCI device is associated with
multiple netdevs (e.g a dual port Mellanox SR-IOV NIC - this card has
a single PCI Physical Function (PF), and that PF has two netdevs
associated with it (the "net" subdirectory of the PF in sysfs has two
links rather than the usual single link to a netdev directory). Each
of the PF netdevs has a different phys_port_id. The Virtual Functions
(VF) are similar - the PF (a PCI device) has "n" VFs (also each of
these is a PCI device), each VF has two netdevs, and each of the VF
netdevs points back to the VF PCI device (with the "device" entry in
its sysfs directory) as well as having a phys_port_id matching the PF
netdev it is associated with.
virNetDevGetPhysPortID() simply attempts to read the phys_port_id for
the given netdev and return it to the caller. If this particular
netdev driver doesn't support phys_port_id (most don't), it returns
NULL (*not* a NULL-terminated string, but a NULL pointer) but still
counts it as a success.

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH 2/3] util: support matching a phys_port_id in virPCIGetNetName()
A single PCI device may have multiple netdevs associated with it. Each
of those netdevs will have a different phys_port_id entry in
sysfs. This patch modifies virPCIGetNetName() to allow matching the
netdev for a PCI device that has the same phys_port_id that the caller
wants.

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH 3/3] util: match phys_port_id when converting PF-netdev to/from VF-netdev
This patch updates functions in netdev.c to pay attention to
phys_port_id. It uses the new function virNetDevGetPhysPortID() to
learn the phys_port_id of a VF or PF, then sends that info to
virPCIGetNetName(), which has newly been modified to take an optional
phys_port_id.
