When allocating a large number of VFs, the driver previously used i40e_reset_vf in a sequence. Just as when performing a normal reset, this accumulates a large amount of delay for handling all of the VFs in sequence. This delay is mainly due to a hardware requirement to wait after initiating a reset on the VF. We recently added a new function, i40e_reset_all_vfs() which can be used to amortize the delay time, by first triggering all VF resets, then waiting once, and finally cleaning up and allocating the VFs. This is almost as good as truly running the resets in parallel. In order to avoid sending a spurious reset message to a client interface, we have a check to see whether we've assigned pf->num_alloc_vfs yet. This was originally intended as a way to distinguish the "initialization" case from the regular reset case. Unfortunately, this means that we can't directly use i40e_reset_all_vfs yet. Lets avoid this check of pf->num_alloc_vfs by replacing it with a proper VSI state bit which we can use instead. This makes the intention much clearer and allows us to re-use the i40e_reset_all_vfs function directly.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
