DPDK generic representor devarg parser (rte_eth_devargs_parse_representor_= ports()) can parse first 3 cases i.e. a ,representor=3Dpf0vf0 .... ``-a = ,representor=3Dpf0vf[0-4]``, while 4 case was a special case which our PMD needs. Representor devargs are processed as part of new device (eswitch) PMD only,= normal CNXK PMD won't accept representor as a devarg. Hence all devargs we define under= eswitch PCI device and all the required representors are created while probing eswitch device = probing. In the following format we are defining representors for which PFs and VFs = should be created: Eg.=20 -a ,representor=3Dpf0vf[1,2],representor=3Dpf1vf[2-5] Here VF representor will be created only for PF0VF1, PF2VF2, PF1VF2.....PF1VF5 Although there may be n no of PF VF combinations but user wants representor= s for this devices only. Please let us know your opinion if "-a ,representor=3Dpf0vf[= 1,2],representor=3Dpf1vf[2-5]" format handling can also be handled in common code. We can push a separate = patch for it. >=20 > > +In case of exception path (i.e. until the flow definition is > > +offloaded to the hardware), packets transmitted by the VFs shall be > > +received by these representor port, while packets transmitted by > > +representor ports shall be received by respective VFs. >=20 > Not clear. How is it related to any offload? Point what I wanted to highlight here is, until the flow rule for a fastpat= h is identified and installed (offloaded) to the HW, packet flow will take the slow path (e= xception path) i.e. for every packet sent out via VF should be received by its represento= r port and vice versa. Once the application installs the rule packets can take fast path i.e. dire= ctly from VF to destination (wire or other VF), representors will not come in th= e=20 datapath for fast processing. >=20 > > +On receiving the VF traffic via these representor ports, applications > > +holding these representor ports can decide to offload the traffic flow= into > the HW. > > +Henceforth the matching traffic shall be directly steered to the > > +respective VFs without being received by the application. >=20 > Using "these" makes no sense here.
