[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/5] bnx2x: SR-IOV VF driver changes to support OOB PF driver
> >2015-09-11 17:42, Rasesh Mody: >> From: Harish Patil >> >> Signed-off-by: Harish Patil > >Please explain your change a bit more. > > SR-IOV is supported using bnx2x poll mode driver running as VF driver and native linux driver running as PF (in host/hypervisor). There is no issue while running with the PF driver which is at the base version as that of PMD. However, there is a compatibility issue between newer out-of-box PF drivers with older VF driver. So the newer VFs would also need to send BNX2X_VF_TLV_PHYS_PORT_ID (among other TLVs) to differentiate between newer and older VFs.
