Hi,

This patchset is implementing sysfs API introduced here [1].

It will allow user to assign different amount of MSI-X vectors to VF.
For example when there are VMs with different number of virtual cores.

Example:
1. Turn off autoprobe
echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:18\:00.0/sriov_drivers_autoprobe
2. Create VFs
echo 4 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:18\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
3. Configure MSI-X
echo 20 > /sys/class/pci_bus/0000\:18/device/0000\:18\:01.0/sriov_vf_msix_count

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210314124256.70253-1-leon@kernel.org/

Michal Swiatkowski (4):
  ice: implement num_msix field per VF
  ice: add bitmap to track VF MSI-X usage
  ice: set MSI-X vector count on VF
  ice: manage VFs MSI-X using resource tracking

This doesn't apply to net-queue, however, it seems as though it applies 
to net-next. Please use the tree that you are targeting to base your 
patches on. While most the time it may not matter, in some cases, like 
this, it does.

Thanks,
Tony
