Shannon Nelson says: ==================== ionic: add sriov support Set up the basic support for enabling SR-IOV devices in the ionic driver. Since most of the management work happens in the NIC firmware, the driver becomes mostly a pass-through for the network stack commands that want to control and configure the VFs. v4: changed "vf too big" checks to use pci_num_vf() changed from vf[] array of pointers of individually allocated vf structs to single allocated vfs[] array of vf structs added clean up of vfs[] on probe fail added setup for vf stats dma v3: added check in probe for pre-existing VFs split out the alloc and dealloc of vf structs to better deal with pre-existing VFs (left enabled on remove) restored the checks for vf too big because of a potential case where VFs are already enabled but driver failed to alloc the vf structs v2: use pci_num_vf() and kcalloc() remove checks for vf too big add locking for the VF operations disable VFs in ionic_remove() if they are still running ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
