Jakub Kicinski 38972375ef PCI/IOV: Reset total_VFs limit after detaching PF driver
The TotalVFs register in the SR-IOV capability is the hardware limit on the
number of VFs.  A PF driver can limit the number of VFs further with
pci_sriov_set_totalvfs().  When the PF driver is removed, reset any VF
limit that was imposed by the driver because that limit may not apply to
other drivers.

Before 8d85a7a4f2 ("PCI/IOV: Allow PF drivers to limit total_VFs to 0"),
pci_sriov_set_totalvfs(pdev, 0) meant "we can enable TotalVFs virtual
functions", and the nfp driver used that to remove the VF limit when the
driver unloads.

8d85a7a4f2 broke that because instead of removing the VF limit,
pci_sriov_set_totalvfs(pdev, 0) actually sets the limit to zero, and that
limit persists even if another driver is loaded.

We could fix that by making the nfp driver reset the limit when it unloads,
but it seems more robust to do it in the PCI core instead of relying on the
driver.

The regression scenario is:

  nfp_pci_probe (driver 1)
  ...
  nfp_pci_remove
    pci_sriov_set_totalvfs(pf->pdev, 0)   # limits VFs to 0

  ...
  nfp_pci_probe (driver 2)
    nfp_rtsym_read_le("nfd_vf_cfg_max_vfs")
    # no VF limit from firmware

Now driver 2 is broken because the VF limit is still 0 from driver 1.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
