This patch series introduced a feature that the time to probe a VF/SF will be reduced greatly in large scale, eg hundreds of VF/SFs. This feature is controlled through the "probe_opt_en" device argument. Setting it to a non-zero value indicates the application will enable this functionality when probing a device. This feature relies on a feature of RDMA driver to be release in incoming upstream kernel 6.13 or the equivalent in OFED 24.10, ie. RDMA monitor. For further information on the devargs limitation, see "doc/guides/nics/mlx5.rst".
