This seems similar to normal SR-IOV operation, but I've not heard of use cases for them VM to know what its pvid is. Could you elaborate?It's provided for informational purposes.Seems like an information leak :S and since it's equivalent to the standard SR-IOV functionality - we'd strongly prefer a common interface for all use cases. sysfs won't be it. Jiri & Mellanox had been working on something in devlink for quite some time.
Agreed, Thomas please work with Jiri et al. so that you can provide this information using a standard facility. Thanks.
