Hi all, When SR-IOV introduce in Juno the SR-IOV Agent supported only link state change. Some Intel cards don't support setting link state, so to resolve it the SR-IOV mechanism driver supports agent and agent less mode. >From Liberty the SR-IOV agent brings more functionality like qos and port security so we want to make the agent mandatory.
I have already talked to pczesno from Intel and got his approval in the pci meeting [1] For this to happen commit [2] and [3] need to be approved. If anyone objects to this change now is the time to speak.
