ice(4): Add host SR-IOV support #1573
Conversation
Enable basic SR-IOV support for E800 adapters. Authored-by: Eric Joyner <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Galazka <[email protected]>
Filter for unicast MAC address is configured with a virtual channel message, but filter for a broadcast traffic was missing. It caused issues with e.g. ARP. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Galazka <[email protected]>
Would you be willing to update the manual page for this change? |

If I was sufficiently motivated, I could maybe take a crack at it. @kgalazka have you tried this on E830 devices? The last time I tried it didn't work; I don't know if it's worth calling out somewhere that it doesn't work on those since E830 hasn't been released yet, but I imagine once they are people will expect this to work on those and will be surprised that it mysteriously does not. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Doing this here might mean that this doesn't get re-added after a reset, right? Though, I want to swear that broadcast promiscuous mode should be getting enabled on this VF VSI already.
Allows creating Virtual Functions on E800 adapters with up to 16 queues.
Changing MAC address and using promiscuous mode for each VF
may be enabled in configuration.
Please be advised that this is still work in progress and may be unstable.
