[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v9 3/3] i40e: add floating VEB extension support

Mon Jun 13 08:45:50 CEST 2016


To enable this feature, the user should pass a devargs parameter to the EAL
like "-w 84:00.0,enable_floating=1", and the application will make sure the PMD
will use the floating VEB feature for all the VFs created by this PF device.

Also you can specifiy which VF need to connect to this floating veb using
"floating_bitmap", every bit corresponding to one VF (e.g. bitn for VFn).
Like "-w 84:00.0,enable_floating=1,floating_bitmap=1", means only the VF0 connect
to the floating VEB, VF1 connect to the legacy VEB.

The current implementation only support one floating VEB and one legacy
VEB. VF can connect to floating VEB or legacy VEB according to the
configuration.

 The floating VEB means the VEB doesn't has some uplink connection to the outside
 world, so all the switching belong to this VEB cannot go to outside, the
