Discussion of said patch has led to the suggestion of implementing a bus-agnostic method for VF count retrieval so rtnetlink could work with both real VF-capable PCI NICs as well as my dummy modifications without introducing ugly hacks. The following series tries to achieve just that by introducing a bus type callback to retrieve a device's number of VFs, implementing this callback for PCI bus and finally adjusting rtnetlink to make use of the generalized infrastructure. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
