Newer versions of firmware will pre-reserve 1 VNIC for every possible PF and VF function. Update the driver logic to take this into account when assigning VNICs to the VFs. These pre-reserved VNICs for the inactive VFs should be subtracted from the global pool before assigning them to the active VFs. Not doing so may cause discrepancies that ultimately may cause some VFs to have insufficient VNICs to support features such as aRFS.

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.
