Commit 04f05230c5c13 ("bnx2x: Remove configured vlans as part of unload sequence."), introduced a regression in driver that as a part of VF's reload flow, VLANs created on the VF doesn't get re-configured in hardware as vlan metadata/info was not getting cleared for the VFs which causes vlan PING to stop. This patch clears the vlan metadata/info so that VLANs gets re-configured back in the hardware in VF's reload flow and PING/traffic continues for VLANs created over the VFs.

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.
