Subject: [RFC PATCH] ice: allow creating VFs when !CONFIG_ICE_SWITCHDEV
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 11:11:58 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427031158.2665916-1-vincent.chen@sifive.com> (raw)
Currently ice_eswitch_attach_vf() is called unconditionally in
ice_start_vfs() and ice_reset_all_vfs(), which causes VF creation
to fail when CONFIG_ICE_SWITCHDEV is not defined or switchdev mode
is not enabled at runtime.
Fix this by adding switchdev mode checks at the call sites before
calling ice_eswitch_attach_vf(), consistent with how
ice_eswitch_attach_sf() is already handled in ice_devlink_port_new().
Also remove the redundant check inside ice_eswitch_attach_vf() itself.
This is similar to commit aacca7a83b97 ("ice: allow creating VFs for
!CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV") which fixed the same issue for the previous
ice_eswitch_configure() API.
