From 6b42a9c5b51fa3cf1090037e33d39475f923e4b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Rose Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2012 04:29:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: Reset max_vfs to zero when user request is out of range If the user request for the number of VFs in the max_vfs parameter is out of range then reset the value to the default value of zero. This makes the behavior of the ixgbe driver the same as for the igb driver.
