Hi i40e maintainers, I have the following configuration: - host runs with Linux pf i40e driver - guest runs with DPDK vf i40e driver
I send a vlan packet from the host to the guest. On the guest, I start testpmd with --disable-hw-vlan-strip. When I receive the packet on the guest, it has the PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED flag although I'm not asking for it. From what I understand, it is not possible to disable vlan stripping when using a Linux PF driver. Since the i40evf DPDK driver does not behave like what the application asks for, I think it should be fixed. What do you think about re-adding the vlan in software when dev_conf->rxmode.hw_vlan_strip == 0 ? The other alternative would be to forbid this configuration and return an error. Any opinion? Shall I send a patch? Thanks Olivier
