Subject: RE: [PATCH] virtio-net: enable SRIOV

HI Jason, 

You are right here. We did not catch your change in driver and the SRIOV flag is set correctly as you stated.

We want to orchestrate the HW implementation of VFs and PFs for virtio-net using libvirt. 

The issue that we want to resolve is that there is no .ndo_get_vf_config Callback implemented in virtio-net driver as other NIC's drivers have, called by libvirt. 
See https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c#L2996, for example 
This callback really should create a minimal configuration inside of driver, but we cannot avoid it. 

Another issue is lack of sysfs fro virtual functions /sys/class/net/ens801f0/device/virtfnX (where X is VF number and ens801fo is its PF netdev), 

Could you advise us, how we can solve our issue and drive us to proper solution?

Regards,

Mirek

So I'm suprised that it needs to be enabled per device. We had:

static void vp_transport_features(struct virtio_device *vdev, u64 features) {
         struct virtio_pci_device *vp_dev = to_vp_device(vdev);
         struct pci_dev *pci_dev = vp_dev->pci_dev;

         if ((features & BIT_ULL(VIRTIO_F_SR_IOV)) &&
                         pci_find_ext_capability(pci_dev,
PCI_EXT_CAP_ID_SRIOV))
                 __virtio_set_bit(vdev, VIRTIO_F_SR_IOV); }

And I had used this driver for SRIOV virtio-pci hardware for more than one year.

Thanks
