| From: Stefan Assmann <sassm...@redhat.com> | Date: Wednesday, June 30, 2010 01:53 am | | This is not a udev bug since udev doesn't create persistent rules for | VFs as their MAC address changes every reboot. | | To avoid this problem we could change the kernel name for the VFs and | thus avoid confusion between VFs and PFs. | | I've already discussed this with Alexander Duyck and Greg Rose, so far | they have no objection. However this problem appears for all drivers that | support PFs and VFs and thus the changes should be applied consistently | to all of these drivers.
I'm not sure that this problem affects "all drivers which support PFs and VFs." I think that you might mean "all drivers which support PFs and VFs with non- persistent MAC addresses for the VFs." For instance, the MAC addresses associated with the new cxgb4vf VFs are persistent so, from what I understand of the scenario you outlined, I don't think that they would trigger the problem you describe. Please correct me if I've missed something. Thanks.
