Hi Dumont

There is PF enforced limit on a number of allowed VLANs per UNTRUSTED VF - to 
prevent malicious VF from grabbing all resources and as you noted - it is set 
to 8 VLANs.

Trusted VF is allowed to get as many VLANs as possible - to HW limits. Please 
note this could mean other VFs may not get them AT ALL.

There was one other feature that seem to be enabled when a VF is trusted : more 
than 8 vlans on a single VF (while not using vlan filters)

It seems to be highly dependent on drivers/firmware/NIC cards to pass more than 
8 vlans on a single VF, we had to set it trusted.

I checked around and was told that promiscuous mode and MAC manipulation are 
the features that are enabled. At this time, there aren't any other features.

Subject: [E1000-devel] i40e driver - trusted VF features

Hello,

I am wondering if there is any information/document about what exact features 
are turned on while switching VF into trust mode? I've found docs saying only 
that trust mode allows "for example" promisc mode on VF or MAC address 
manipulation. I would like to know all the features of trusted VF in comparison 
to untrusted VF.

My i40e driver version: 2.3.2-k

Thank you in advance.

BR,
Wojciech
