I had intended to copy the remaining VF-specific functions from the generic ethdev API to ixgbe in 17.02 and a deprecation notice was sent in 16.11. This work was parked in order work on the VF-specfic functionsfor the i40e. Is it ok to submit patches for this work after the V1 deadline (today)? Regards, Bernard.
