Subject: fail to add 64 VLANs or more when SR-IOV is enabled
Hi all,
We're facing an issue that we cannot add 64 VLANs or more per VF.
When using SR-IOV, pass through a VF to the KVM guest and a lot of VLANs,
we could add 63 VLANs using vconfig but we failed to add 64th VLAN.
We'd like to use many VLANs on the guest with SR-IOV.
We're using Intel's 82599EB chip with ixgbe and ixgbevf driver.
Has anyone seen the same issue?
Is there any idea to solve this?
The below instruction is a reproducing method.
Create hundred VLANs on the guest.
# for i in `seq 100 199`; do vconfig add eth2 $i; ifconfig 192.168.$i.1/24; done
# vconfig add eth2 100
Added VLAN with VID == 100 to IF -:eth2:-
# vconfig add eth2 101
Added VLAN with VID == 101 to IF -:eth2:-
# vconfig add eth2 102
Added VLAN with VID == 102 to IF -:eth2:-
...
# vconfig add eth2 162
Added VLAN with VID == 162 to IF -:eth2:-
# vconfig add eth2 163
ERROR: trying to add VLAN #163 to IF -:eth2:- error: Permission denied

# vconfig add eth2 165

thanks,
