It was discovered that for a VF there's a simple [yet uncommon] scenario which would cause device firmware to declare that VF as malicious - Add a vlan interface on top of a VF and disable txvlan offloading for that VF [causing VF to transmit packets where vlan is on payload].
Patch #1 corrects driver transmission to prevent this issue. Patch #2 is a by-product correcting PF behavior once a VF is declared malicious. Dave, Please consider applying these to 'net'.
