Public bug reported: This bug only applies to ML2/SR-IOV.
The port field "propagate_uplink_status" defines if the port (VF) will follow the parent port (PF) status (enabled/disabled). The "auto" status has precedence over the "enable"/"disable" status. However, this could be a security issue: if the port owner wants to stop the VF (VM port) from transmitting any traffic, it is needed first to unset the "propagate_uplink_status" field [1] and the set the port status to "disabled". Scope of this bug: The "disabled" status must have precedence over the "auto" or "enabled" statuses, for security reasons.
