[PATCH net-next 0/6] enic: SR-IOV V2 preparatory infrastructure

From: Satish Kharat via B4 Relay

Date: Wed Mar 25 2026 - 03:22:55 EST


This is the first of four series adding SR-IOV V2 support to the enic
driver for Cisco VIC 14xx/15xx adapters.

The existing V1 SR-IOV implementation has VFs that interact directly
with the VIC firmware, leaving the PF driver with no visibility or
control over VF behavior. V2 introduces a PF-mediated model where VFs
communicate with the PF through a mailbox over a dedicated admin
channel. This brings enic in line with the standard Linux SR-IOV
model, enabling full PF management of VFs via ip link (MAC, VLAN,
link state, spoofchk, trust, and per-VF statistics).

This preparatory series adds detection and resource helper code with
no functional change to existing driver behavior:

- Extend BAR resource discovery for admin channel resources
- Register the V2 VF PCI device ID
- Detect VF type (V1/V2/usNIC) from SR-IOV PCI capability
- Make enic_dev_enable/disable ref-counted for shared use by data
path and admin channel
- Add type-aware resource allocation for admin WQ/RQ/CQ/INTR
- Detect presence of admin channel resources at probe time

Tested on VIC 14xx and 15xx series adapters with V2 VFs under KVM
(sriov_numvfs, VF passthrough, ip link VF configuration, VF traffic).

Based in part on initial work by Christian Benvenuti.
