The ice_vf_create_vsi() function and its VF ops helper introduced by commit
a4c785e8162e ("ice: convert vf_ops .vsi_rebuild to .create_vsi") are used
during an individual VF reset to re-create the VSI. This was done in order
to ensure that the VSI gets properly reconfigured within the hardware.
This is somewhat heavy handed as we completely release the VSI memory and
structure, and then create a new VSI. This can also potentially force a
change of the VSI index as we will re-use the first open slot in the VSI
array which may not be the same.
As part of implementing devlink reload, commit 6624e780a577 ("ice: split
ice_vsi_setup into smaller functions") split VSI setup into smaller
functions, introducing both ice_vsi_cfg() and ice_vsi_decfg() which can be
used to configure or deconfigure an existing software VSI structure.
Rather than completely removing the VSI and adding a new one using the
.create_vsi() VF operation, simply use ice_vsi_decfg() to remove the
current configuration. Save the VSI type and then call ice_vsi_cfg() to
reconfigure the VSI as the same type that it was before.
The existing reset logic assumes that all hardware filters will be removed,
so also call ice_fltr_remove_all() before re-configuring the VSI.
This new operation does not re-create the VSI, so rename it to
ice_vf_reconfig_vsi().
The new approach can safely share the exact same flow for both SR-IOV VFs
as well as the Scalable IOV VFs being worked on. This uses less code and is
a better abstraction over fully deleting the VSI and adding a new one.

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.
