Date: Fri, 17 May 2019 17:54:41 -0700 From: xiangxia.m.yue@...il.com To: roid@...lanox.com, saeedm@...lanox.com Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, Tonghao Zhang <xiangxia.m.yue@...il.com> Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5e: Allow removing representors netdev to other namespace From: Tonghao Zhang <xiangxia.m.yue@...il.com> At most case, we use the ConnectX-5 NIC on compute node for VMs, but we will offload forwarding rules to NICs on gateway node. On the gateway node, we will install multiple NICs and set them to different dockers which contain different net namespace, different routing table. In this way, we can specify the agent process on one docker. More dockers mean more high throughput. The commit abd3277287c7 ("net/mlx5e: Disallow changing name-space for VF representors") disallow it, but we can change it now for gateway use case.
