Hello, I had noticed that whenever I create virtual function on Nic devices, the numbering scheme is the same: the the last digit of first VF is .0, of the second one is .2, the third is .4, and so on; and no odd number are used. For example, with Intel IXGBE nic, we have: echo 4 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:06:00.0/sriov_numvfs lspci | grep "Virtual Function" 06:10.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599 Ethernet Controller Virtual Function (rev 01) 06:10.2 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599 Ethernet Controller Virtual Function (rev 01) 06:10.4 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599 Ethernet Controller Virtual Function (rev 01) 06:10.6 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599 Ethernet Controller Virtual Function (rev 01) Does anybody know what is the reason that odd numbers are not used ? are they kept for something else ? For example, why don't we get : 06:10.0,06:10.1,06:10.2,06:10.3 in this case ?
