Hi Mykyta,

I'm testing these patches from the patchew branch 
https://gitlab.com/xen-project/patchew/xen/-/tree/patchew/cover.1775742115.git.mykyta._5Fpoturai@epam.com?ref_type=tags
with an Intel 82576 card which uses the igb driver.  I think your X550T 
testing uses the ixgbe drvier.

SR-IOV capabilities are exposed, and I can create VFs (PF c4:00.0, VF 
c4:10.0).  However, the VF network interfaces don't work.  They can't 
get an IP address.  The PF reports "Detected Tx Unit Hang" as seen in 
the log snippet below.  I trimmed out some "Spoof event" and "invalid 
MAC filter messages" from Xen.  I also included some baremetal logs 
which don't have "Spoof event" messages.  On baremetal, the interface 
gets an IP and is usable.

This is an x86 PVH dom0, but you tested with ARM?  Do you know if there 
are any other dependencies for this patch series?  I'll keep looking at 
it, but I figured I'd ask first.

Thanks,
Jason
