I tried to use SRIOV to virtualize mellanox nics with vlans on redhat Linux. Long story short it did not work. Per Nvidia the os has to also run open switch. This work was on an already complex setup in finance ... so adding open switch was considered too much additionally complexity. This requirement is not something I run across in the docs.
Depending what you're doing AMD's support for VirtIO Native Context might be a useful alternative (I think it gives less isolation which could be good or bad depending on use).

Anybody know better?
