Hi Team,
I am using the mlx5/100G in KVM guest. The host shows this PCI vfNIC is
provisioned to the guest:
"17:01.1 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27800 Family
[ConnectX-5 Virtual Function]"
I am using DPDK 19.11 with kind of standard configurations, and when DPDK
application runs I still have the kernel mlx5e net device present. I have both
promiscuous and all-multicast turned on.
It works fine for IPV4, but for IPV6 it fails. It can receive packets destined
to 33:33:00:00:00:02 (IPV6 Router solicitation), but cannot receive packets
destined to 33:33:ff:00:00:01 (IPV6 neighbor solicitation for some address).
But if I avoid DPDK, directly use the OFED-4.6 based kernel driver, everything
works fine as expected.
I am thinking there is some mismatch happened for MLX5 PMD. Please give some
advice/hints.
Many thanks
Liwu
