From c96692fb8f3d0a161c6892ab9cc51a5e9992ccf2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bodong Wang Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2018 17:28:06 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: E-Switch, Allow transition to offloads mode for ECPF Currently, the e-switch driver requires going to legacy mode before changing to the offloads mode. This makes sense for regular case as the legacy mode is done by creating VFs. However, it's problematic when ECPF is the eswitch manager. In such case, ECPF will control the vports on peer host including the peer PF and VFs. But ECPF doesn't need and shall not create VFs as the VFs are created in the peer PF host. Grant ECPF the ability to change from none to the offloads mode. Note that currently the only way to go back to none mode is by unloading the ECPF driver.
