Currently the netvsc/VF binding logic only checks the PCI serial number. The Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA) supports multiple net_device interfaces (each such interface is called a "vPort", and has its unique MAC address) which are backed by the same VF PCI device, so the binding logic should check both the MAC address and the PCI serial number. The change should not break any other existing VF drivers, because Hyper-V NIC SR-IOV implementation requires the netvsc network interface and the VF network interface have the same MAC address.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
