[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 00/29] Support VFD and DPDK PF + kernel VF on i40e

I do not see test to validate that the PF userland will look like a Linux 
PF. I am getting concerned that it is a bad solution since we have 
two/three PF mailboxes which may not be consistent: Linux, DPDK, VMware.

> 1, VF Daemon (VFD)
> VFD is an idea to control all the VFs from PF.
> As we need to support the scenario kernel PF + DPDK VF,
> DPDK follows the interface between kernel PF + kernel VF.
> We don't want to introduce too many new messages between PF and VF.
> So this patch set adds some new APIs to control VFs directly from PF.
> The new APIs include,
> 1) set VF MAC anti-spoofing
> 2) set VF VLAN anti-spoofing
> 3) set TX loopback
> 4) set VF unicast promiscuous mode
> 5) set VF multicast promiscuous mode
> 6) set VF MTU
> 7) get/reset VF stats
> 8) set VF MAC address
> 9) set VF VLAN stripping
> 10) VF VLAN insertion
> 12) set VF broadcast mode
> 12) set VF VLAN tag
> 13) set VF VLAN filter
> VFD also includes VF to PF mailbox message management by APP.
> When PF receives mailbox messages from VF, PF should call the callback 
> provided by APP to know if they're permitted to be processed.

> 2, Implement VF MAC address setting on VF.
