[ Upstream commit 11fbb1bfb5bc8c98b2d7db9da332b5e568f4aaab ] When initializing over virtchnl, the PF is required to pass a VSI ID to the VF as part of its capabilities exchange. The VF driver reports this value back to the PF in a variety of commands. The PF driver validates that this value matches the value it sent to the VF. Some hardware families such as the E700 series could use this value when reading RSS registers or communicating directly with firmware over the Admin Queue. However, E800 series hardware does not support any of these interfaces and the VF's only use for this value is to report it back to the PF. Thus, there is no requirement that this value be an actual VSI ID value of any kind. The PF driver already does not trust that the VF sends it a real VSI ID. The VSI structure is always looked up from the VF structure. The PF does validate that the VSI ID provided matches a VSI associated with the VF, but otherwise does not use the VSI ID for any purpose. Instead of reporting the VSI number relative to the PF space, report a fixed value of 1. When communicating with the VF over virtchnl, validate that the VSI number is returned appropriately. This avoids leaking information about the firmware of the PF state. Currently the ice driver only supplies a VF with a single VSI. However, it appears that virtchnl has some support for allowing multiple VSIs. I did not attempt to implement this. However, space is left open to allow further relative indexes if additional VSIs are provided in future feature development. For this reason, keep the ice_vc_isvalid_vsi_id function in place to allow extending it for multiple VSIs in the future. This change will also simplify handling of live migration in a future series. Since we no longer will provide a real VSI number to the VF, there will be no need to keep track of this number when migrating to a new host.

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.
