Subject: [net-next 12/13] ixgbe: disallow IPsec Tx offload when in SR-IOV mode
Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2018 14:35:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180828213558.19273-14-jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180828213558.19273-1-jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>

From: Shannon Nelson <shannon.nelson@oracle.com>

There seems to be a problem in the x540's internal switch wherein if SR-IOV
mode is enabled and an offloaded IPsec packet is sent to a local VF,
the packet is silently dropped.  This might never be a problem as it is
somewhat a corner case, but if someone happens to be using IPsec offload
from the PF to a VF that just happens to get migrated to the local box,
communication will mysteriously fail.

Not good.

A simple way to protect from this is to simply not allow any IPsec offloads
for outgoing packets when num_vfs != 0.  This doesn't help any offloads that
were created before SR-IOV was enabled, but we'll get to that later.
