SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 =============== NIC SR-IOV APIs =============== Modern NICs are strongly encouraged to focus on implementing the ``switchdev`` model (see :ref:`switchdev`) to configure forwarding and security of SR-IOV functionality. Legacy API ========== The old SR-IOV API is implemented in ``rtnetlink`` Netlink family as part of the ``RTM_GETLINK`` and ``RTM_SETLINK`` commands. On the driver side it consists of a number of ``ndo_set_vf_*`` and ``ndo_get_vf_*`` callbacks. Since the legacy APIs do not integrate well with the rest of the stack the API is considered frozen; no new functionality or extensions will be accepted. New drivers should not implement the uncommon callbacks; namely the following callbacks are off limits: - ``ndo_get_vf_port`` - ``ndo_set_vf_port`` - ``ndo_set_vf_rss_query_en`` |
