Hi, I would like to invoke QEMU and KVM so that the guest sees a virtio NIC, and that NIC goes through a SR-IOV VF of a host NIC as directly and efficiently as possible. But I don't actually want to pass the VF through to the guest. I've found a bunch of discussion and confusing examples on the web, but I'm not able to figure out what the right thing to do with modern QEMU is.
I don't think I want to create a macvtap interface attached to the VF, because I just want to use one MAC address for the VF itself (and allow the NIC anti-spoofing hardware to work etc). Am I supposed to create a raw socket bound to the interface I want to use in a helper, and then pass that to qemu? How exactly do I pass that in — do I still use "-net tap"? Do I have to create my own vhostfd in my helper too? Thanks!
