I don't know exactly what problem you ran into. I think we needn't worry about
those DGLORT setting when using VF device.
I've followed steps to use SRIOV device with RSS enabled and disabled, both
are worked well from my side after applying your patch. Below is my setup.
1. PF with Linux driver "fm10k-next_0.19.3".
2. DPDK with latest code from master branch, apply your patch.
3. Use 1 VF device created by kernel driver.
4. use l3fwd with " ./examples/l3fwd/build/l3fwd -c fc -n 4 -- -p 0x1 --config="(0,0,2),(0,1,2),(0,2,3),(0,3,3)""
with RSS enabled. After sending packets, I can see all 4 queues received packets.
5. use l3fwd with " ./examples/l3fwd/build/l3fwd -c fc -n 4 -- -p 0x1 --config="(0,0,2)""
with RSS disabled. After sending packets, I can see queue 0 received packets.
Can you explain what actual problem is?
We can talk offline.
