From 47b6f50077e68bcd544f657526dad4bfdce7e87d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shannon Nelson Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2018 16:47:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: disallow IPsec Tx offload when in SR-IOV mode There seems to be a problem in the x540's internal switch wherein if SR-IOV mode is enabled and an offloaded IPsec packet is sent to a local VF, the packet is silently dropped. This might never be a problem as it is somewhat a corner case, but if someone happens to be using IPsec offload from the PF to a VF that just happens to get migrated to the local box, communication will mysteriously fail. Not good. A simple way to protect from this is to simply not allow any IPsec offloads for outgoing packets when num_vfs != 0. This doesn't help any offloads that were created before SR-IOV was enabled, but we'll get to that later.
