Subject: [net PATCH v2] ixgbe: Reset interface after enabling SR-IOV
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2015 13:28:17 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151020202715.2955.88128.stgit@ahduyck-vm-fedora22> (raw)
Enabling SR-IOV and then bringing the interface up was resulting in the PF
MAC addresses getting into a bad state. Specifically the MAC address was
enabled for both VF 0 and the PF. This resulted in some odd behaviors such
as VF 0 receiving a copy of the PFs traffic, which in turn enables the
ability for VF 0 to spoof the PF.
A workaround for this issue appears to be to bring up the interface first
and then enable SR-IOV as this way the reset is then triggered in the
existing code.
In order to correct this I have added a change to ixgbe_setup_tc where if
the interface is down we still will at least call ixgbe_reset so that the
MAC addresses for the device are reset to the correct pools.
Steps to reproduce issue:
modprobe ixgbe
echo 7 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.1/sriov_numvfs
ifconfig enp1s0f1 up
ethregs -s 1:00.1 | grep MPSAR | grep -v 00000000
Result:
MPSAR[0] 00000081
MPSAR[254] 00000001
Expected Result, behavior after patch:
MPSAR[0] 00000080
MPSAR[254] 00000080

This is also a candidate for stable going back to 3.9 kernel as that
appears to be where the code for using ixgbe_setup_tc as a part of the
SR-IOV initialization was introduced.
v2: Replaced dev with adapter as parameter for ixgbe_reset().
