SubjectRE: [PATCH v2] ixgbe: make VLAN filter conditional
Date

> With this patch, if the user turns VLAN filtering off on the host, VF

> This VLAN filtering can be turned on or off when SR-IOV is disabled, if not
> the operation is rejected.

Hi,

any comment about this?
I added a warning message and prevent operation during SR-IOV is enabled.


thanks,
Hiroshi
