Please note that there are bunch (not many, but more then 1-2) of things to configure from user space in a PF/VF scheme, and I think it would be best if we do that through one mechanism, which may be netlink based or extension to ethtool as you suggested, we've started to discuss this on the "L2 switching in igb" thread The "82576 SR-IOV Driver Companion Guide" document, section 7.6 mentions "Transmit Bandwidth Allocation to VFs... define minimum transmit bandwidth for individual VMs". I'm not clear if one can program rate limiter (upper bound) per VF or actually rate guarantee per VF, even with these being just details of specific device, alex, I would be happy if you can clarify that.
