-----Original Message----- From: Intel-wired-lan [mailto:intel-wired-lan-bounces@lists.osuosl.org] On Behalf Of Alexander Duyck Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2015 1:28 PM To: netdev@vger.kernel.org; intel-wired-lan@lists.osuosl.org Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [net PATCH v2] ixgbe: Reset interface after enabling SR-IOV Enabling SR-IOV and then bringing the interface up was resulting in the PF MAC addresses getting into a bad state. Specifically the MAC address was enabled for both VF 0 and the PF. This resulted in some odd behaviors such as VF 0 receiving a copy of the PFs traffic, which in turn enables the ability for VF 0 to spoof the PF. A workaround for this issue appears to be to bring up the interface first and then enable SR-IOV as this way the reset is then triggered in the existing code. In order to correct this I have added a change to ixgbe_setup_tc where if the interface is down we still will at least call ixgbe_reset so that the MAC addresses for the device are reset to the correct pools. Steps to reproduce issue: modprobe ixgbe echo 7 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.1/sriov_numvfs ifconfig enp1s0f1 up ethregs -s 1:00.1 | grep MPSAR | grep -v 00000000 Result: MPSAR[0] 00000081 MPSAR[254] 00000001 Expected Result, behavior after patch: MPSAR[0] 00000080 MPSAR[254] 00000080 Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <aduyck@mirantis.com> --- Tested-by: Darin Miller <darin.j.miller@intel.com> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
