Currently, there is no way for a VF driver to specify that it wants to change its device/primary unicast MAC address. This makes it difficult/impossible for the PF driver to track the VF's device/primary unicast MAC address, which is used for VM/VF reboot and displaying on the host. Fix this by using 2 bits of a pad byte in the virtchnl_ether_addr structure so the VF can specify what type of MAC it's adding/deleting. Below are the values that should be used by all VF drivers going forward. VIRTCHNL_ETHER_ADDR_LEGACY(0): - The type should only ever be 0 for legacy AVF drivers (i.e. drivers that don't support the new type bits). The PF drivers will track VF's device/primary unicast MAC using with best effort. VIRTCHNL_ETHER_ADDR_PRIMARY(1): - This type should only be used when the VF is changing their device/primary unicast MAC. It should be used for both delete and add cases related to the device/primary unicast MAC. VIRTCHNL_ETHER_ADDR_EXTRA(2): - This type should be used when the VF is adding and/or deleting MAC addresses that are not the device/primary unicast MAC. For example, extra unicast addresses and multicast addresses assuming the PF supports "extra" addresses at all. If a PF is parsing the type field of the virtchnl_ether_addr, then it should use the VIRTCHNL_ETHER_ADDR_TYPE_MASK to mask the first two bits of the type field since 0, 1, and 2 are the only valid values. For i40evf PMD, when set default MAC address, use type VIRTCHNL_ETHER_ADDR_PRIMARY as this case is changing device/primary unicast MAC. For other cases, such as adding or deleting extra unicast addresses and multicast addresses, use type VIRTCHNL_ETHER_ADDR_EXTRA. Fixes: |
