Bug description:
Description of problem:
Attempting to read SW stats (ifstat -x cpu_hit) on a system with probed VFs
will crash the system.
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a VF
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:82\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
2. read SW stats:
ifstat -x cpu_hit
Actual results:
System will crash
Expected results:
No system crash
Additional info:
The reason for the crash is insufficient check on the helper that determines
if a netdev is vf rep.
will crash:
$ ifstat -x cpu_hit
will not crash:
$ ifstat -x cpu_hit $VF_REP
$ ifstat -x cpu_hit $UPLINK_REP
We already have a fix for this issue, and it is accepted upstream.
