Linux kernel source tree
c070e51db5
When the PF and VF drivers both support flexible rx descriptors and have
negotiated the VIRTCHNL_VF_OFFLOAD_RX_FLEX_DESC capability, the VF driver
queries the PF for the list of supported descriptor formats
(VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_SUPPORTED_RXDIDS). The PF driver is supposed to set the
supported_rxdids bits that correspond to the descriptor formats the
firmware implements. The legacy 32-byte rx desc format is always
supported, even though it is not expressed in GLFLXP_RXDID_FLAGS.
The ice driver does not advertise the legacy 32-byte rx desc support,
which leads to this failure to bring up the VF using the Intel
out-of-tree iavf driver:
iavf 0000:41:01.0: PF does not list support for default Rx descriptor format
...
iavf 0000:41:01.0: PF returned error -5 (VIRTCHNL_STATUS_ERR_PARAM) to our request 6
The in-tree iavf driver does not expose this bug, because it does not
yet implement VIRTCHNL_VF_OFFLOAD_RX_FLEX_DESC.
The ice driver must always set the ICE_RXDID_LEGACY_1 bit in
supported_rxdids. The Intel out-of-tree ice driver and the ice driver in
DPDK both do this.
I copied this piece of the code and the comment text from the Intel
out-of-tree driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
