But I need > to check as I know there is some mechanism now to make a VM privileged. From iproute2's man: <-- trust on|off - trust the specified VF user. This enables that VF user can set a specific feature which may impact security and/or performance. (e.g. VF multicast promiscuous mode) --> So yes, it is possible to get PF features upstream'd into the kernel without having a specific PF into DPDK. best regards, Vincent
