Subject: [BUG] Kernel Oops and crash using i40e VF devices

Hi,

I have a SuperMicro X11SPM-F mainboard with two Intel X722 devices which
support up to 32 VF devices per PF device. They are running with i40e
driver. Whenever I try to use the VF devices in Xen VMs, the host kernel
got an Oops or crash. In all cases the PF running on the host
immediately loses network connection. I can reproduce this always
running the following:

Enable VFs:

$> echo 24 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:b5:00.2/sriov_numvfs
$> echo 2 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:b5:00.3/sriov_numvfs

Assign MACs:

$> ip link set net0 vf 0 mac 00:16:3e:00:b9:1e
...

Enable trust:

$> ip link set net0 vf 0 trust on
...

Assign NIcs:
xl pci-assignable-add b5:0a.0
...

If I start 1 VM everything works fine, as soon as I start a second one,
the host becomes unavailable and the log shows the following:

After that PF and VFs are no longer accessible. In another try with
same kernel I get:

This can be easily reproduced on my system in all cases when running 2
VMs simultaneously.

What I've done so far:

1. I've tried 4.18.0, it is even more worse. With this kernel the system
immediately reboots when assigning MACs to the VFs, sometimes after 1st,
sometimes after 2nd, sometimes after 20th. No errors shown, system just
resets.

2. I've tried 4.14.62 LTS version. VFs are not working at all cause of:
Unable to enable 24 VFs. Limited to 0 VFs due to device resource constraints.

3. I've tried i40e version 2.4.10 from https://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/i40e%20stable/2.4.10/
I've tried it with 4.17.14 and 4.14.62 LTS, both lead to kernel freezes
and reboots without any output on the local display.

As intermediate solution I've reverted configuration to use bridges and
put physical NICs into the system for those VMs which requires VLANs and
PPPoE support.

Also the same configuration (same SSD) works with VFs perfectly using a
NIC under ixgb driver.

Any help is very much appreciated as I can test kernel patches on this
machine.
