Revision 1ad9a00ae0efc2e9337148d6c382fad3d27bf99a authored by Paul Blakey on 21 March 2017, 13:59:16 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 22 March 2017, 19:11:13 UTC
This was added to allow the TC offloading code to identify offloading
encap/decap vxlan rules.
The VF reps are effectively related to the same mlx5 PCI device as the
PF. Since the kernel invokes the (say) delete ndo for each netdev, the
FW erred on multiple vxlan dst port deletes when the port was deleted
from the system.
We fix that by keeping the registration to be carried out only by the
PF. Since the PF serves as the uplink device, the VF reps will look
up a port there and realize if they are ok to offload that.
Tested:
<SETUP VFS>
<SETUP switchdev mode to have representors>
ip link add vxlan1 type vxlan id 44 dev ens5f0 dstport 9999
ip link set vxlan1 up
ip link del dev vxlan1

README
Linux kernel
============
This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst
Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
