Hello, folks!
I have KVM VM with bypassed PCI-E 82599 two port NIC.
Driver version: 4.0.3 at Debian Jessie 3.16 kernel.
lspci -v|grep Eth
00:02.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL-8100/8101L/8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter (rev 20)
00:05.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit
SFI/SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Ethernet Server Adapter X520-2
00:06.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit
SFI/SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Ethernet Server Adapter X520-2
And I want to use VF inside this KVM VM.
And I doing following:
rmmod ixgbe ixgbevf
modprobe ixgbe max_vfs=2,2
modprobe ixgbevf
But after this operation I haven't saw virtual functions in lspci output:

And haven't saw any additional interfaces:

I saw this error in dmesg:
[848550.356391] ixgbe 0000:00:06.0: Enabling SR-IOV VFs using the
max_vfs module parameter is deprecated.
[848550.356398] ixgbe 0000:00:06.0: Please use the pci sysfs interface
instead. Ex:
[848550.356403] ixgbe 0000:00:06.0: echo '2' >
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:06.0/sriov_numvfs
[848705.672383] ixgbe 0000:00:06.0 (unregistered net_device): Failed
to enable PCI sriov: -38 <------- COULD BE IMPORTANT
And try another approach:
rmmod ixgbe ixgbevf
modprobe ixgbe
echo '2' > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:06.0/sriov_numvfs
echo '2' > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:05.0/sriov_numvfs
And it's not working at all:
echo '2' > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:06.0/sriov_numvfs
-bash: /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:06.0/sriov_numvfs: Permission denied
Is it possible to use VF inside KVM VM?
