The current name of vf_offload_flags indicates that the bitmap is
limited to offload related features. Make this more generic by renaming
it to vf_cap_flags, which allows for other capabilities besides
offloading to be added.

Hello Stefan,

Thanks for the patch series, but we believe the vf should be ignorant of its trusted status.  That being said, you've definitely pointed out a bug in our implementation so that if a vf ends up being configured as trusted, its unable to change its mac address itself when this is an allowed action for this configuration.  The pf can change the mac address for the vf, but the vf itself cannot, which is not correct.  We are working on an alternate solution that keeps the vf from knowing its trusted status, but its not a simple fix.

Thanks,

Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,

Might I ask why?

Thanks,

Hello Greg,

The trusted status of the vf is something that pf manages, mostly for security reasons.  The mailbox model of communication between them relies on the pf to have authority over the vf.  In most things, the vf asks permission from the pf for changes in its configuration and this keeps the pf as the gatekeeper between trusted and regular vf's.  However, the issue here is that changing the MAC address from within the vf does not go through the mailbox, so it cannot tell if the vf is trusted or not.   We are working on a redesign of this feature to fix that instead of having the vf sort of know its trusted.  If, for some reason, we are unable to redesign it that way we would reconsider this method instead.

Thanks,

Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,

the only other solution I can think of is to use the mailbox interface,
which allows the PF to immediately allow or deny the MAC address change.
If you can make that happen, it would indeed be a better solution.

Independently of that decision, I'd still like to propose patch 1/2
to be applied now. vf_offload_flags is used in struct virtchnl_vf_resource
which is found in the generic header include/linux/avf/virtchnl.h.
So we should keep it as generic as possible.

Let's make the change while the struct hasn't gained popularity
outside of i40e/i40evf.

Thanks!

  Stefan

Thanks, that was my concern, that by allowing the VF to set it's own
MAC then it would implicitly know it was trusted.

Yes, a more thorough review of the code shows that we do check with the PF to allow or deny the change as part of the add filter function call.  However, today that does not happen if the PF has set the MAC address for the VF, trusted or not.  Ixgbe and i40e are different in this regard and there is some difference of opinion internally on the best approach, but we are actively working on it.

I'm fine with this change.
