Currently the PF allocates a default number of queues for each VF and cannot be changed. This patch enables the VF to request a different number of queues allocated to it. This patch also adds a new virtchnl op and capability flag to facilitate this negotiation. After the PF receives a request message, it will set a requested number of queues for that VF. Then when the VF resets, its VSI will get a new number of queues allocated to it. This is a best effort request and since we only allocate a guaranteed default number, if the VF tries to ask for more than the guaranteed number, there may not be enough in HW to accommodate it unless other queues for other VFs are freed. It should also be noted decreasing the number queues allocated to a VF to below the default will NOT enable the allocation of more than 32 VFs per PF and will not free queues guaranteed to each VF by default.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
