The VEB (virtual embedded switch) as a switch element can be connected according datasheet though its uplink to: - Physical port - Port Virtualizer (not used directly by i40e driver but can be present in MFP mode where the physical port is shared between PFs) - No uplink (aka floating VEB) But VEB uplink cannot be connected to another VEB and any attempt to do so results in: "i40e 0000:02:00.0: couldn't add VEB, err -EIO aq_err I40E_AQ_RC_ENOENT" that indicates "the uplink SEID does not point to valid element". Remove this logic from the driver code this way: 1) For debugfs only allow to build floating VEB (uplink_seid == 0) or main VEB (uplink_seid == mac_seid) 2) Do not recurse in i40e_veb_link_event() as no VEB cannot have sub-VEBs 3) Ditto for i40e_veb_rebuild() + simplify the function as we know that the VEB for rebuild can be only the main LAN VEB or some of the floating VEBs 4) In i40e_rebuild() there is no need to check veb->uplink_seid as the possible ones are 0 and MAC SEID 5) In i40e_vsi_release() do not take into account VEBs whose uplink is another VEB as this is not possible 6) Remove veb_idx field from i40e_veb as a VEB cannot have sub-VEBs Tested using i40e debugfs interface: 1) Initial state [root@cnb-03 net-next]# CMD="/sys/kernel/debug/i40e/0000:02:00.0/command" [root@cnb-03 net-next]# echo dump switch > $CMD [root@cnb-03 net-next]# dmesg -c [ 98.440641] i40e 0000:02:00.0: header: 3 reported 3 total [ 98.446053] i40e 0000:02:00.0: type=19 seid=392 uplink=160 downlink=16 [ 98.452593] i40e 0000:02:00.0: type=17 seid=160 uplink=2 downlink=0 [ 98.458856] i40e 0000:02:00.0: type=19 seid=390 uplink=160 downlink=16 2) Add floating VEB [root@cnb-03 net-next]# echo add relay > $CMD [root@cnb-03 net-next]# dmesg -c [ 122.745630] i40e 0000:02:00.0: added relay 162 [root@cnb-03 net-next]# echo dump switch > $CMD [root@cnb-03 net-next]# dmesg -c [ 136.650049] i40e 0000:02:00.0: header: 4 reported 4 total [ 136.655466] i40e 0000:02:00.0: type=19 seid=392 uplink=160 downlink=16 [ 136.661994] i40e 0000:02:00.0: type=17 seid=160 uplink=2 downlink=0 [ 136.668264] i40e 0000:02:00.0: type=19 seid=390 uplink=160 downlink=16 [ 136.674787] i40e 0000:02:00.0: type=17 seid=162 uplink=0 downlink=0 3) Add VMDQ2 VSI to this new VEB [root@cnb-03 net-next]# dmesg -c [ 168.351763] i40e 0000:02:00.0: added VSI 394 to relay 162 [ 168.374652] enp2s0f0np0v0: NIC Link is Up, 40 Gbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None [root@cnb-03 net-next]# echo dump switch > $CMD [root@cnb-03 net-next]# dmesg -c [ 195.683204] i40e 0000:02:00.0: header: 5 reported 5 total [ 195.688611] i40e 0000:02:00.0: type=19 seid=394 uplink=162 downlink=16 [ 195.695143] i40e 0000:02:00.0: type=17 seid=162 uplink=0 downlink=0 [ 195.701410] i40e 0000:02:00.0: type=19 seid=392 uplink=160 downlink=16 [ 195.707935] i40e 0000:02:00.0: type=17 seid=160 uplink=2 downlink=0 [ 195.714201] i40e 0000:02:00.0: type=19 seid=390 uplink=160 downlink=16 4) Try to delete the VEB [root@cnb-03 net-next]# echo del relay 162 > $CMD [root@cnb-03 net-next]# dmesg -c [ 239.260901] i40e 0000:02:00.0: deleting relay 162 [ 239.265621] i40e 0000:02:00.0: can't remove VEB 162 with 1 VSIs left 5) Do PF reset and check switch status after rebuild [root@cnb-03 net-next]# echo pfr > $CMD [root@cnb-03 net-next]# echo dump switch > $CMD [root@cnb-03 net-next]# dmesg -c ...

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.
