Subject: [dpdk-dev] DPDK with port partitioning
Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2014 13:05:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHJKsGwZrOGdDxh6jZhC0Xn+3jmFAztr3vE+y61-TgqCH_UNmg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi All


I'm trying to setup a system with 3 VMs.
Each VM has a VF assigned to it. (based on instructions from Programmers
Guide).

I found a white paper by Patrick Kutch which describes how to do it using
the linux driver and ip route commands. The problem is that I need to
create VFs using the linux driver, and i want to create VFs using the
igb_uio (which works ok)

Is it even possible to set port partitioning using the dpdk driver.
If yes then how to do it?
- Use PF to VF Mailbox (simply add some code on host which would set it)?
- use appropriate eth_xxx_link_update() function when running DPDK on VM?

Thanks in advance
Tomasz
