Hi, From: Jiawei(Jonny) Wang <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2023 9:41 AM To: Suanming Mou; Xueming(Steven) Li; Slava Ovsiienko Cc: [email protected]; Raslan Darawsheh Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: support no host PF configuration
From: Xueming Li <[email protected]> In BlueField, a new firmware configuration option NUM_OF_PF=0 disables PF on the x86 host side, no HPF on the ARM side, and the only RDMA port on the ARM side is the bonding device(PF0). A device probe with devargs of representor=pf[0-1]vf[...] will probe PF0 and PF1 one by one, and it's possible that PF1 device scan results in no switch ports. This patch supports the new configuration by allowing a PF scan with empty switch ports.
