Hi there,
I have an Intel X520 network card, and I find the max supported VFs are
different.
Please check below outputs:
# lspci -vvv -s 04:00.0
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet 10G 2P X520 Adapter
(rev 01)

# echo 63 > /sys/class/net/enp4s0f0/device/sriov_numvfs
# cat /sys/class/net/enp4s0f0/device/sriov_numvfs
63
The lspci command says the Total VFs supported is 64, while in the file
"sriov_totalvfs" says it's 63.
And the sriov_numvfs file will take precedence.
Why are the numbers different? Just a little curious.
Thank you!
