Hi Xu Han,
Thanks very much for your help.
And I found that testcases can pass just with "set the `mac` param to the PF
nic device with its actual value".
Best Regards,
Zhiguo Wu

Subject: Re: [Avocado-devel] Issues: pf assignable testing
Hello Zhiguo Wu,
Firstly, thank you for your attention to the avocado project!
It seems that the PF/VF assignment functionality has not been maintained for a
few years, and hence I don't even sure about if these kinds of tests could be
run properly. But I will try to answer your questions as much as I can.

Would you please elaborate more about the issue you encountered so that it can
help me understand that? thanks!

This looks like a bug. Anyway, could you please try with the following to see
if it can workaround the issue?
1. apply the patch below to avocado-vt.
diff --git a/virttest/qemu_vm.py b/virttest/qemu_vm.py
index 6706b097..dfd6d5bc 100644
--- a/virttest/qemu_vm.py
+++ b/virttest/qemu_vm.py
@@ -3011,6 +3011,8 @@ class VM(virt_vm.BaseVM):
elif pa_type == "pf":
self.pci_assignable.add_device(device_type=pa_type,
name=name)
+ self.virtnet.set_mac_address(nic["nic_name"],
+ nic_params["mac"])
else:
raise virt_vm.VMBadPATypeError(pa_type)
else:
2. set the `mac` param to the PF nic device with its actual value, for example,
mac_nicpf1 = 90:e2:ba:34:bf:e6
('nicpf1' is the logic name of the PF nic in this example, please replace it
with the one used in your case.)
