There are three patch about the floating VEB feature, I put all of them, and just send one test-by.
Here I listed the test case summary,  you can get the detail steps from attachment.
I run test cases according to my test plan, all the test cases passed.


Test Case1: Floating VEB Inter-VM VF-VF  
=======================================================
Summary: DPDK PF, then create 2VFs and 2VMs, assign one VF to one VM, say VF1 in VM1, VF2 in VM2, and make PF link down(the cable can be pluged out). VFs in VMs are running dpdk testpmd, VF1 send traffic, and set the packet's DEST MAC to VF2, check VF2 can receive the packets. Check Inter-VM VF-VF MAC switch when PF is link down as well as up.

Test Case2: Floating VEB PF can't get traffic from VF    
================================================================
DPDK PF, then create 1VF, assign VF1 to VM1, send traffic from VF1 to PF, then check PF will not see any traffic.


Test Case3: Floating VEB VF can't receive traffic from outside world   
======================================================
DPDK PF, then create 1VF, assign VF1 to VM1, send traffic from tester to VF1, in floating mode, check VF1 can't receive traffic from tester.

Test Case4: Floating VEB VF can not communicate with legacy VEB VF inter-VM
======================================================
Summary: DPDK PF, then create 3VFs and 3VMs, assign one VF to one VM, say VF1 in VM1, VF3 in VM3, floating VEB; VF2 in VM2, lagecy VEB. Make PF link down(port stop all), VFs in VMs are running dpdk testpmd.
1. VF1 send traffic, and set the packet's DEST MAC to VF2, check VF2 can not receive the packets. 
2. VF1 send traffic, and set the packet's DEST MAC to VF3, check VF3 can receive the packets. 
3. VF2 send traffic, and set the packet's DEST MAC to VF1, check VF1 can not receive the packets. 
Check Inter-VM VF-VF MAC switch when PF is link down as well as up.

Test Case5: PF can't get traffic from Floating VEB VF, but PF can get traffic from legacy VEB VF.
================================================================
DPDK PF, then create 2VF, assign VF1 to VM1, VF2 to VM2, set VF1 in floating VEB, VF2 in legacy VEB.
1. Send traffic from VF1 to PF, then check PF will not see any traffic; 
2. Send traffic from VF2 to PF, then check PF will receive all the packets.


Test Case6: Floating VEB VF can't receive traffic from outside world, while legacy VEB VF can receive traffic from outside world.
======================================================
DPDK PF, then create 2VF, assign VF1 to VM1, assign VF2 to VM2, set VF1 in floating VEB, set VF2 in legacy VEB
1. send traffic from tester to VF1, check VF1 can't receive traffic from tester.
2. send traffic from tester to VF2, check VF2 can receive all the traffic from tester.


Thanks!
Yuan.

Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v8 3/3] i40e: add floating VEB extension support

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.
