[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 4/5] net/mlx5: use Netlink to enable promisc/allmulti

2018-03-13 Thread Nelio Laranjeiro
VF devices are not able to receive promisc or allmulti traffic unless it fully requests it though Netlink. This will cause the request to be processed by the PF which will handle the request and enable it. This requires the VF to be trusted by the PF. Signed-off-by: Nelio Laranjeiro --- driver
