[dpdk-users] VMware i40en SR-IOV VLAN

[Iain Barker]

Does anyone use DPDK with VLAN on SR-IOV VF for i40en NIC driver under VMware ?

It seems new 'security' in the Intel i40en driver broke the ability for DPDK to set VLAN filters for SR-IOV.

Specifically, the VF has to be manually set as 'trusted mode' via a CLI command to allow more than 8 VLAN filters to be added on a VF with DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_VLAN_FILTER set using rte_eth_dev_vlan_filter.

Anyone had similar experience / workaround possible?
