If we try to set VFs rate on a VF (not PF) net device, the kernel
will be crash. The commands are show as below:
$ echo 2 > /sys/class/net/$MLX_PF0/device/sriov_numvfs
$ ip link set $MLX_VF0 vf 0 max_tx_rate 2 min_tx_rate 1
If not applied the first patch ("net/mlx5: Avoid panic when setting
vport mac, getting vport config"), the command:
$ ip link set $MLX_VF0 vf 0 rate 100
can also crash the kernel.

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.
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.
