Subject: Re: mlx5 sub function issue

Hi David,
      I can see that the variable settings are in effect：
# mlxconfig -d b3:00.0 s PF_BAR2_ENABLE=0 PER_PF_NUM_SF=1 PF_SF_BAR_SIZE=8
# mlxconfig -d b3:00.0 s PER_PF_NUM_SF=1 PF_TOTAL_SF=192 PF_SF_BAR_SIZE=8
# mlxconfig -d b3:00.1 s PER_PF_NUM_SF=1 PF_TOTAL_SF=192 PF_SF_BAR_SIZE=8

after cold reboot:
# mlxconfig -d b3:00.0 q|grep BAR
PF_BAR2_ENABLE                           False(0)
# mlxconfig -d b3:00.0 q|grep SF
Description:    ConnectX-6 Dx EN adapter card; 25GbE; Dual-port SFP28;
PCIe 4.0 x8; Crypto and Secure Boot
         PER_PF_NUM_SF                   True(1)
         PF_TOTAL_SF                         192
         PF_SF_BAR_SIZE                   8
# mlxconfig -d b3:00.1 q|grep SF
Description:    ConnectX-6 Dx EN adapter card; 25GbE; Dual-port SFP28;
PCIe 4.0 x8; Crypto and Secure Boot
         PER_PF_NUM_SF                  True(1)
         PF_TOTAL_SF                        192
         PF_SF_BAR_SIZE                  8

I tried to create as many SF as possible, then I found each PF can
create up to 132 SFs. I want to confirm the maximum number of SFs that
CX6 can create. If the mft version is correct, can I think that CX6
can create up to 132 SFs per PF?
