> Subject: [PATCH v2] net/iavf: initialize large VF setting at startup
>
> lv_enabled is used to remember if large VF setting is configured, but its
> value
> is not initialized at startup. This can lead to a different configuration
> regarding the initial configuration of the PF.
> For example, a first start is done with 8 rx and 8 tx queues. Large VF is not
> needed and reta size is 64.
> A second start is done with 20 rx and tx queues. Large VF is required and reta
> size is 256.
> A third start is done with 2 rx and tx queues. Large VF is not needed but reta
> size is 256 as the PF has been configured during the second start.
>
> In order to have a consistent behavior regarding reta size whatever the
> configuration of the PF (may be changed by a previous boot) the lv_enabled
> must be set properly at the init phase.
