Part of virtchannel messages are treated in different way in switchdev mode to block configuring VFs from iavf driver side. This blocking was done by doing nothing and returning success, event without sending response. Not sending response for opcodes that aren't supported in switchdev mode leads to block iavf driver message handling. This happens for example when vlan is configured at VF config time (VLAN module is already loaded). To get rid of it ice driver should answer for each VF message. In switchdev mode: - for adding/deleting VLAN driver should answer success without doing anything to allow creating vlan device on VFs - for enabling/disabling VLAN stripping and promiscuous mode driver should answer not supported, this feature in switchdev can be only set from host side Signed-off-by: Michal Swiatkowski <michal.swiatkowski@linux.intel.com> Tested-by: Sandeep Penigalapati <sandeep.penigalapati@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
