Currently VIRTCHNL only allows for VLAN filtering and offloads to happen on a single 802.1Q VLAN. Add support to filter and offload on inner, outer, and/or inner + outer VLANs. This is done by introducing the new capability VIRTCHNL_VF_OFFLOAD_VLAN_V2. The flow to negotiate this new capability is shown below. 1. VF - sets the VIRTCHNL_VF_OFFLOAD_VLAN_V2 bit in the virtchnl_vf_resource.vf_caps_flags during the VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_VF_RESOURCES request message. The VF should also set the VIRTCHNL_VF_OFFLOAD_VLAN bit in case the PF driver doesn't support the new capability. 2. PF - sets the VLAN capability bit it supports in the VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_VF_RESOURCES response message. This will either be VIRTCHNL_VF_OFFLOAD_VLAN_V2, VIRTCHNL_VF_OFFLOAD_VLAN, or none. 3. VF - If the VIRTCHNL_VF_OFFLOAD_VLAN_V2 capability was ACK'd by the PF, then the VF needs to request the VLAN capabilities of the PF/Device by issuing a VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_OFFLOAD_VLAN_V2_CAPS request. If the VIRTCHNL_VF_OFFLOAD_VLAN capability was ACK'd then the VF knows only single 802.1Q VLAN filtering/offloads are supported. If no VLAN capability is ACK'd then the PF/Device doesn't support hardware VLAN filtering/offloads for this VF. 4. PF - Populates the virtchnl_vlan_caps structure based on what it allows/supports for that VF and sends that response via VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_OFFLOAD_VLAN_V2_CAPS. After VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_OFFLOAD_VLAN_V2_CAPS is successfully negotiated the VF driver needs to interpret the capabilities supported by the underlying PF/Device. The VF will be allowed to filter/offload the inner 802.1Q, outer (various ethertype), inner 802.1Q + outer (various ethertypes), or none based on which fields are set. The VF will also need to interpret where the VLAN tag should be inserted and/or stripped based on the negotiated capabilities.
