From bf4d67d94c842edf57e3cac2c4dff58a9ce7ac41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Duyck Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2015 13:28:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: Reset interface after enabling SR-IOV 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 Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck Tested-by: Darin Miller Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher --- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_main.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_main.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_main.c index 47395ff5d908..aed8d029b23d 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_main.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_main.c @@ -7920,6 +7920,9 @@ int ixgbe_setup_tc(struct net_device *dev, u8 tc) */ if (netif_running(dev)) ixgbe_close(dev); + else + ixgbe_reset(adapter); + ixgbe_clear_interrupt_scheme(adapter); #ifdef CONFIG_IXGBE_DCB -- 2.25.1
