Hi again, The patches worked great and the DPDK bonding API functions with the ConnectX-3 now.. yay :-)
I have run into some new trouble however and since its related I figured I would ask here if anyone could help. I am using SR-IOV to create a dual-port VF. When trying to bond the ports on this VF it seems that DPDK cannot set the mac address on the slaves. As a result, I am unable to receive data on the bonded port. As a workaround, I can set the mac address on the two VF ports manually in Linux using "ip link set <pf interface> vf 0 mac ..." after which I can start DPDK and receive data on the bonded port as wanted. Is there a way to allow DPDK to change the mac address so I avoid the workaround ? I have done some searching but couldn't find anything.
