Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net-next, v5, 1/2] devlink: Add new "max_mac_per_vf" generic device param
Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2025 16:08:58 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251025130859.144916-1-mheib@redhat.com> (raw)
From: Mohammad Heib <mheib@redhat.com>
Add a new device generic parameter to controls the maximum
number of MAC filters allowed per VF.
For example, to limit a VF to 3 MAC addresses:
$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:3b:00.0 name max_mac_per_vf \
value 3 \
cmode runtime
