@terrykrudd - I think there is a bug here somewhere as the card should support 127 VF's (and 1 PF) per port - setting the firmware to this limit results in this error.
I'm not sure whether this problem is in the kernel driver code or in the underlying firmware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to iproute2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849856 Title: ip commands error with mellanox devices in switchdev mode Status in iproute2 package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Kernel: using 5.0.0-23-generic from hwe-edge Configuring a mellanox connectx device with configured VF's into switchdev (rather than legacy) mode result in the ip cli tool erroring when trying to query the interface state: $ sudo ip link Error: Buffer too small for object.
