Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to get access to hardware timestamping on the NIC if you using SR-IOV virtualization.
Currently in a non-virtualized environment, I can configure HW timestamping by passing hwtstamp_config structure to ioctl(). However, when I do the same operation in a Xen based VM which uses SR-IOV (and Intel 82599 NIC)
the same operation failed (I am getting Operation not supported message after calling ioctl()).
Reading the documentation on SR-IOV I couldn't figure out if accessing HW timestamps on a NIC is fundamentally not possible, or I just missing some configuration (such as Virtual Function for NIC).
Thank you
