From 6423fc34160939142d72ffeaa2db6408317f54df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Assmann Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2015 15:01:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] igb: do not re-init SR-IOV during probe During driver probing the following code path is triggered. igb_probe ->igb_sw_init ->igb_probe_vfs ->igb_pci_enable_sriov ->igb_sriov_reinit Doing the SR-IOV re-init is not necessary during probing since we're starting from scratch. Here we can call igb_enable_sriov() right away. Running igb_sriov_reinit() during igb_probe() also seems to cause occasional packet loss on some onboard 82576 NICs. Reproduced on Dell and HP servers with onboard 82576 NICs.
