Subject: getting VF link info seems to be broken in 3.9-rc8

[re-posting as of non text only content in the 1st post - sorry for the 
spam] Rony Efraim <ronye@...lanox.com>observed a regression in 3.9-rc8 
with respect to getting VFs link info from user space. Using latest 
iproute2 we can easily get the VF info on 3.8.8 but not on the net git 
which is now aligned on 3.9-rc8, will try to bisect it later 
today/tomorrow, but for the sake of maybe someone has an insight of the 
bug, reporting it now...

You can see below that for eth10 and eth11 which are ixgbe PFs, the VF 
info is reported on 3.8.8 but not on 3.9-rc8, we see the same problem 
with patches to mlx4 which implement ndo_get_vf_info which gives some 
evidence that the problem isn't in the ixgbe driver, but rather 
somewhere else, maybe the networking core, from quick looking on 
net/core/rtnetlink.c I don't see there a smoking gun, anyway

net.git]# git log --oneline v3.8..v3.9-rc8 net/core/rtnetlink.c
88c5b5c rtnetlink: Call nlmsg_parse() with correct header length
fcca143 rtnetlink: fix error return code in rtnl_link_fill()
a5b8db9 rtnetlink: Mask the rta_type when range checking
84d73cd rtnl: fix info leak on RTM_GETLINK request for VF devices
b67bfe0 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
1690be6 bridge: Add vlan support to static neighbors
6cbdcee bridge: Dump vlan information from a bridge port
407af32 bridge: Add netlink interface to configure vlans on bridge ports
c5c3510 netns: fdb: allow unprivileged users to add/del fdb entries
2afb9b5 ethtool: set addr_assign_type to NET_ADDR_SET when addr is 
passed on create
471cb5a bonding: remove usage of dev->master
898e506 rtnetlink: remove usage of dev->master
e7c3273 rtnl: use dev_set_mac_address() instead of plain ndo_
9a57247 rtnl: expose carrier value with possibility to set it


Or.
