After setting port VLAN and MTU to 9000 on VF with ice driver there was an iavf error "PF returned error -5 (IAVF_ERR_PARAM) to our request 6". During queue configuration, VF's max packet size was set to IAVF_MAX_RXBUFFER but on ice max frame size was smaller by VLAN_HLEN due to making some space for port VLAN as VF is not aware whether it's in a port VLAN. This mismatch in sizes caused ice to reject queue configuration with ERR_PARAM error. Proper max_mtu is sent from ice PF to VF with GET_VF_RESOURCES msg but VF does not look at this. In iavf change max_frame from IAVF_MAX_RXBUFFER to max_mtu received from pf with GET_VF_RESOURCES msg to make vf's max_frame_size dependent from pf. Add check if received max_mtu is not in eligible range then set it to IAVF_MAX_RXBUFFER.

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.
