Subject: [PATCH V7 net-next 01/11] devlink: Add 'total_vfs' generic device param
Date: Sat, 6 Sep 2025 18:29:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250907012953.301746-2-saeed@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250907012953.301746-1-saeed@kernel.org>
From: Vlad Dumitrescu <vdumitrescu@nvidia.com>
NICs are typically configured with total_vfs=0, forcing users to rely
on external tools to enable SR-IOV (a widely used and essential feature).
Add total_vfs parameter to devlink for SR-IOV max VF configurability.
Enables standard kernel tools to manage SR-IOV, addressing the need for
flexible VF configuration.
