Title:
  VLAN creation fails with VF multi queueuing

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Description
  

  It can be read in SR-IOV companion guide that 82599 chipsets :

  * The 82599 has 128 Transmit and 128 Receive queues. They are generally 
referred to/thought of as queue pairs (1 Transmit and 1 Receive queue). This 
gives the 82599 128 queue pairs.
  * The 82599 has up to 64 pools, with each pool having two queue pairs in 
it. That is two Transmit and Receive queue assigned to each VF.
  * The 82599 allows for a variable configuration for the number of pools. 
In SR-IOV mode, there can be 16, 32 or 64 pools.

  The last line suggest using combined queues of 2, 4 and 8.

  The only way, for now we found, is using tc on the host especially as the 
ethtool command is not supported (ethtool -L eth10 combined 8 for example).
  And, with following command "tc qdisc add dev eth10 root mqprio num_tc 8", we 
will be able to use up to 8 combined queues on the host PF and guests which are 
using VFs.
  Yet, with 8 combined queues with tc commnad, VLAN creation was not permitted.

  Following driver versions have been used on host and guest to enable this 
multiqueue option:
* 4.3.15 ixgbe in the host
* 3.1.2  ixgbevf in the guest

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1621474] Re: VLAN creation fails with VF multi queueuing

2016-09-09 Thread Wijdene REKIK 
With additional tests basing on the last driver versions on the host and guest:
 * 4.4.6 ixgbe version on the host 
 * 3.2.2 ixgbevf version on the guest, 

and with following kernel version:

root@ubuntu1604:~# uname -a
Linux ubuntu1604 4.4.0-31-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 13 00:07:12 UTC 2016 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@ubuntu1604:~# lsb_release -da
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release:16.04
Codename:   xenial

on both host and VM, the creation of VLAN was not supported:

root@ubuntu1604:~# ip link add link ens5 name vlan2 type vlan id 2
[ 3275.847268] VF could not set VLAN 2 <=

Thus, even with recent versions, issue can be reproduced.
