This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled igbvf: Regard vf reset nack as success to the 6.2-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: igbvf-regard-vf-reset-nack-as-success.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6682ffd3b6bb82e2fb960d54a762cccc7eeda604 Author: Akihiko Odaki <akihiko.odaki@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Dec 1 19:20:03 2022 +0900 igbvf: Regard vf reset nack as success [ Upstream commit 02c83791ef969c6a8a150b4927193d0d0e50fb23 ] vf reset nack actually represents the reset operation itself is performed but no address is assigned. Therefore, e1000_reset_hw_vf should fill the "perm_addr" with the zero address and return success on such an occasion. This prevents its callers in netdev.c from saying PF still resetting, and instead allows them to correctly report that no address is assigned.
