Currently if an AVF driver doesn't account for the possibility of a
port VLAN when determining its max packet size then packets at MTU will
be dropped. It is not the VF driver's responsibility to account for a
port VLAN so fix this. To fix this, do the following:
1. Add a function that determines the max packet size a VF is allowed by
using the port's max packet size and whether the VF is in a port
VLAN. If a port VLAN is configured then a VF's max packet size will
always be the port's max packet size minus VLAN_HLEN. Otherwise it
will be the port's max packet size.
2. Use this function to verify the max packet size from the VF.
3. If there is a port VLAN configured then add 4 bytes (VLAN_HLEN) to
the VF's max packet size configuration.
Also, the VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_VF_RESOURCES message provides the capability
to communicate a VF's max packet size. Use the new function for this
purpose.

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.
