Attempt to detect malicious VFs and, if suspected, log the information but keep going to allow the user to take any desired actions. Potentially malicious VFs are identified by checking if the VFs are transmitting too many messages via the PF-VF mailbox which could cause an overflow of this channel resulting in denial of service. This is done by creating a snapshot or static capture of the mailbox buffer which can be traversed and in which the messages sent by VFs are tracked.

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.
