[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/6] Support running Solarflare PMD over PCI VFs

[Andrew Rybchenko <arybchenko@solarflare.com>]

Running Solarflare PMD over PCI virtual functions requires few fixes:
 - periodic MAC stats DMA is not supported for VFs
 - promiscious and all-multicast modes may be denied by FW/PF
 - MCDI proxy authorization made by FW should be properly handled by
   the VF driver

v1 -> v2
 * rephrase git logs
 * add release notes
 * add SR-IOV feature to the driver list
 * reorder patches to advertise VF support when it works

Andrew Rybchenko (1):
  net/sfc/base: don't ignore requested MAC stats update period

Ivan Malov (5):
  net/sfc: add kvarg control for MAC statistics update period
  net/sfc: poll MAC stats if periodic DMA is not supported
  net/sfc: avoid failure on port start if Rx mode is rejected
  net/sfc: add support for MCDI proxy
  net/sfc: add VFs to the table of PCI IDs for supported NICs
