5.2.1.3. VF to PF Mapping
VF to PF mapping always starts from the lowest possible PF number. For instance, if the IP has 2 PFs, wherein PF0 has 64 VFs and PF1 has 16 VFs, VF1 to VF64 are mapped to PF0, and VF65 to VF80 are mapped to PF1.
Number of PFs | Number of VFs per PF (PF0/PF1/PF2/PF3/PF4/PF5/PF6/PF7) | Total VFs |
---|---|---|
1 | 8 | 8 |
1 | 16 | 16 |
1 | 32 | 32 |
1 | 64 | 64 |
1 | 128 | 128 |
1 | 256 | 256 |
1 | 512 | 512 |
2 | 16/16 | 32 |
2 | 32/32 | 64 |
2 | 128/128 | 256 |
2 | 256/256 | 512 |
2 | 32/0 | 32 |

4 | 1024/0/0/0/0 | 1024 |
4 | 0/1024/0/0 | 1024 |
8 | 256/0/0/0/0/0/0/0 | 256 |
8 | 0/256/0/0/0/0/0/0 | 256 |
For example, the row that shows the combination of four PFs, 256 VFs, and the notation 256/0/0/0 in the Number of VFs per PF column indicates that all 256 VFs are mapped to PF0, while no VF is mapped to PF1, PF2 or PF3.
SR-IOV permutations allow any PF to be assigned the initial VF allocation.
