For SDN/NFV case, we need to handle unlimited VLAN packets on VF. In such case, every VLAN packet can be transmitted to each VF. When we try to make VLAN devices on VF, the 65th VLAN registration fails and never be able to receive a packet with that VLAN tag. If we do the below command on VM, ethX.65 to ethX.100 cannot be created. # for i in `seq 1 100`; do \ ip link add link ethX name ethX.$i type vlan id $i; done There is a capability to disable HW VLAN filter and that makes all VLAN tagged packets can be transmitted to every VFs. After VLAN filter stage, unicast packets are transmitted to VF which has the MAC address same as the transmitting packet. With this patch and "disable_hw_vlan_filter=1", we can use unlimited number of VLANs on VF. Disabling HW VLAN filter breaks some NIC features such as DCB and FCoE. DCB and FCoE are disabled when HW VLAN filter is disabled by this module parameter. Because of that reason, the administrator has to know that before turning off HW VLAN filter.
