How can I use the Virtual Functions
-----------------------------------
The VF is treated as hot-plugged PCI devices in the kernel, so they
should be able to work in the same way as real PCI devices. The VF
requires device driver that is same as a normal PCI device's.

3.1 SR-IOV API
SR-IOV API
----------
To enable SR-IOV capability:
(a) For the first method, in the driver:
(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:
'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:
(a) For the first method, in the driver::
void pci_disable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev);
(b) For the second method, from sysfs:
(b) For the second method, from sysfs::
echo 0 > \
/sys/bus/pci/devices/<DOMAIN:BUS:DEVICE.FUNCTION>/sriov_numvfs
To enable auto probing VFs by a compatible driver on the host, run
command below before enabling SR-IOV capabilities. This is the
default behavior.
::
echo 1 > \
/sys/bus/pci/devices/<DOMAIN:BUS:DEVICE.FUNCTION>/sriov_drivers_autoprobe
To disable auto probing VFs by a compatible driver on the host, run
command below before enabling SR-IOV capabilities. Updating this
entry will not affect VFs which are already probed.
::
echo 0 > \
/sys/bus/pci/devices/<DOMAIN:BUS:DEVICE.FUNCTION>/sriov_drivers_autoprobe
