The max_vfs= option has always been self limiting to the number of VFs
supported by the device. fa44f2f1 added SR-IOV configuration via
sysfs, but in the process broke this self correction factor. The
failing path is:
igb_probe
igb_sw_init
if (max_vfs > 7) {
adapter->vfs_allocated_count = 7;
...
igb_probe_vfs
igb_enable_sriov(, max_vfs)
if (num_vfs > 7) {
err = -EPERM;
...
This leaves vfs_allocated_count = 7 and vf_data = NULL, so we bomb out
when igb_probe finally calls igb_reset. It seems like a really bad
idea, and somewhat pointless, to set vfs_allocated_count separate from
vf_data, but limiting max_vfs is enough to avoid the null pointer.
