The ixgbe_set_max_vfs function has several issues. The two big ones are
that this function assumes it can just enable/disable SR-IOV without any
other changes being necessary which is not the case. I would recommend
looking at ixgbe_setup_tc for how to do this properly. Secondly is the
fact that this code will change the PF network device and as such
sections of the code should be called with the RTNL lock held. In
addition I believe you have to disable SR-IOV before enabling it again
with a different number of VFs.
Below is a link to one of the early patches for igb when we were first
introducing SR-IOV, and the in-driver sysfs value had been rejected. I
figure it might be useful as it was also using sysfs to enable/disable
VFs. It however doesn't have the correct locking on changing the queues
and as such will likely throw an error if you were to implement it the
same way now:
