Description:
This file appears when a physical PCIe device supports SR-IOV.
Userspace applications can read this file to determine the
maximum number of Virtual Functions (VFs) a PCIe physical
function (PF) can support. Typically, this is the value reported
in the PF's SR-IOV extended capability structure's TotalVFs
element. Drivers have the ability at probe time to reduce the
value read from this file via the pci_sriov_set_totalvfs()
function.

Description:
This file appears when a physical PCIe device supports SR-IOV.
Userspace applications can read and write to this file to
determine and control the enablement or disablement of Virtual
Functions (VFs) on the physical function (PF). A read of this
file will return the number of VFs that are enabled on this PF.
A number written to this file will enable the specified
number of VFs. A userspace application would typically read the
file and check that the value is zero, and then write the number
of VFs that should be enabled on the PF; the value written
should be less than or equal to the value in the sriov_totalvfs
file. A userspace application wanting to disable the VFs would
write a zero to this file. The core ensures that valid values
are written to this file, and returns errors when values are not
valid. For example, writing a 2 to this file when sriov_numvfs
is not 0 and not 2 already will return an error. Writing a 10
when the value of sriov_totalvfs is 8 will return an error.

2.1 How can I enable SR-IOV capability
The device driver (PF driver) will control the enabling and disabling
of the capability via API provided by SR-IOV core. If the hardware
has SR-IOV capability, loading its PF driver would enable it and all
VFs associated with the PF.
Multiple methods are available for SR-IOV enablement.
In the first method, the device driver (PF driver) will control the
enabling and disabling of the capability via API provided by SR-IOV core.
If the hardware has SR-IOV capability, loading its PF driver would
enable it and all VFs associated with the PF. Some PF drivers require
a module parameter to be set to determine the number of VFs to enable.
In the second method, a write to the sysfs file sriov_numvfs will
enable and disable the VFs associated with a PCIe PF. This method
enables per-PF, VF enable/disable values versus the first method,
which applies to all PFs of the same device. Additionally, the
PCI SRIOV core support ensures that enable/disable operations are
valid to reduce duplication in multiple drivers for the same
checks, e.g., check numvfs == 0 if enabling VFs, ensure
numvfs <= totalvfs.
The second method is the recommended method for new/future VF devices.

3.1 SR-IOV API
To enable SR-IOV capability:
(a) For the first method, in the driver:
int pci_enable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev, int nr_virtfn);
'nr_virtfn' is number of VFs to be enabled.
(b) For the second method, from sysfs:
echo 'nr_virtfn' > \
/sys/bus/pci/devices/<DOMAIN:BUS:DEVICE.FUNCTION>/sriov_numvfs
To disable SR-IOV capability:
(a) For the first method, in the driver:
void pci_disable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev);
(b) For the second method, from sysfs:
echo 0 > \
/sys/bus/pci/devices/<DOMAIN:BUS:DEVICE.FUNCTION>/sriov_numvfs
To notify SR-IOV core of Virtual Function Migration:
(a) In the driver:
