Subject: [PATCH net-next V6 01/13] devlink: Add 'total_vfs' generic device param
Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2025 20:04:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250709030456.1290841-2-saeed@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250709030456.1290841-1-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.
