I meant between PFs on 2 compute nodes.
If the PF serves as uplink rep, it functions as a switch port -- applications
don't run on switch ports. One way to get apps to run on the host in switchdev
mode is probe one of the VFs there.
So once a pci device is configured in 'switchdev' mode, only port representor
netdevs are
seen on the host, no more PF netdev.
Are you going to expose another way to change sriov_num_vfs when the device is
in
'switchdev' mode OR do we need to switch to 'legacy' mode to increase/decrease
the number of
VFs?
Even in switchdev mode, i guess it will be possible for host apps to use the IP
configured
on the uplink rep to talk externally.
In case of multiple uplinks, are you exposing one uplink-rep netdev per uplink?
