What if the vf is running > a bridge. No shouldn't break anything. Actually, implementing these ops in the VF driver (ixgbevf in this case) will allow bridging to work on the VF. Because at least on the intel 82599 devices the VF can't be put in promiscuous mode so bridging doesn't work as expected. With the ops implemented we could at least get traffic forwarded correctly for addresses that were known above the VF. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
