[PATCH net V3] virtio-net: validate features during probe

From: Jason Wang
Date: Thu Nov 20 2014 - 01:11:03 EST


We currently trigger BUG when VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VQ
is not set but one of features depending on it is.
That's not a friendly way to report errors to
hypervisors.
Let's check, and fail probe instead.

Changes from V2:
- only check the features for ctrl vq (this fix the real bug)
- better error message and simplify API
