If max_vfs was specified, the SR-IOV state is disabled, removing the VFs. The occurs regardless of whether the VF count was later modified through sysfs. If however max_vfs is zero, such as by not specifying the module parameter, the VFs persist after the PF is unbound from ixgbe. If the PF is then bound to vfio-pci to be assigned to a VM, the PF is non-functional. >From the comment, commit da36b64736cf ("ixgbe: Implement PCI SR-IOV sysfs callback operation") clearly intended this alternate behavior, but probably didn't realize the PF doesn't work in this mode. This bimodal behavior is confusing to users and results in a state where the PF is broken for other uses unless the user sets sriov_numvfs to zero prior to unbinding the device. Remove this behavior so that VFs are removed and the PF is functional for other uses after unbind, regardless of the way VFs are enabled.
