    i40e: Add vf-true-promisc-support priv flag · b5569892
    Anjali Singhai Jain 提交于
    This patch adds priv-flag knob to configure global true promisc
    support. With this patch the user can decide the flavor of
    promiscuous that the VFs will see when promiscuous mode is enabled
    on the interface. Since this a global setting for the whole device,
    the priv-flag is exposed only on the first PF of the device.
    
    The default is true promisc support is off, which means the promisc
    mode for the VF will be limited/defport mode.
    
    For the PF, we still will be in limited promisc unless in MFP mode
    irrespective of the flavor picked through this knob.
    
    Usage:
    On PF0
    ethtool --show-priv-flags p261p1
    Private flags for p261p1:
    MFP                    : off
    LinkPolling            : off
    flow-director-atr      : on
    veb-stats              : off
    hw-atr-eviction        : off
    vf-true-promisc-support: off
    
    to enable setting true promisc
    ethtool --set-priv-flags p261p1 vf-true-promisc-support on
    
    At this point if the VF is set to trust and promisc is enabled
    on the VF through
    ip link set ... promisc on
    The VF/VFs will be able to see ALL ingress traffic
