HI Jason,

You are right here. We did not catch your change in driver and the SRIOV flag is set correctly as you stated.

We want to orchestrate the HW implementation of VFs and PFs for virtio-net using libvirt.

The issue that we want to resolve is that there is no .ndo_get_vf_config Callback implemented in virtio-net driver as other NIC's drivers have, called by libvirt.
See https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c#L2996, for example
This callback really should create a minimal configuration inside of driver, but we cannot avoid it.


The reason for not implementing that callback is because the attributes are not implemented in the virtio spec.

We're working on adding management plane to virtio spec[1].



Another issue is lack of sysfs fro virtual functions /sys/class/net/ens801f0/device/virtfnX (where X is VF number and ens801fo is its PF netdev),


What hardware did you use?

I'm using ifcvf (the hardware not the vdpa driver) and it works like a charm:

# pwd
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/virtio-pci/0000:07:00.0
# echo 4 > sriov_numvfs
# ls | grep virtfn
virtfn0
virtfn1
virtfn2
virtfn3

Thanks

Could you advise us, how we can solve our issue and drive us to proper solution?

Regards,

With increasing interest for virtio, NIC have appeared that provide
SRIOV with PF appearing in the host as a virtio network device and
probably more similiar NICs will emerge.
igb_uio of DPDK or pci-pf-stub can be used to provide SRIOV, however
there are hypervisors/VMMs that require VFs, which are to be PCI
passthrued to a VM, to have its PF with network representation in the
kernel. For virtio-net based PFs, virtio-net could do that by
providing both SRIOV interface and netdev representation.

Enable SRIOV via VIRTIO_F_SR_IOV feature bit if the device supports
it.

So I'm suprised that it needs to be enabled per device. We had:

static void vp_transport_features(struct virtio_device *vdev, u64 features) {
          struct virtio_pci_device *vp_dev = to_vp_device(vdev);
          struct pci_dev *pci_dev = vp_dev->pci_dev;

          if ((features & BIT_ULL(VIRTIO_F_SR_IOV)) &&
                          pci_find_ext_capability(pci_dev,
PCI_EXT_CAP_ID_SRIOV))
                  __virtio_set_bit(vdev, VIRTIO_F_SR_IOV); }

And I had used this driver for SRIOV virtio-pci hardware for more than one year.

Thanks
