mlx5_device_disable_sriov() currently reads num_vfs from the PCI core.
However when mlx5_device_disable_sriov() is executed, SR-IOV is
already disabled at the PCI level.
Due to this disable_hca() cleanup is not done during SR-IOV disable
flow.
mlx5_sriov_disable()
pci_enable_sriov()
mlx5_device_disable_sriov() <- num_vfs is zero here.
When SR-IOV enablement fails during mlx5_sriov_enable(), HCA's are left
in enabled stage because mlx5_device_disable_sriov() relies on num_vfs
from PCI core.
mlx5_sriov_enable()
mlx5_device_enable_sriov()
pci_enable_sriov() <- Fails
Hence, to overcome above issues,
(a) Read num_vfs before disabling SR-IOV and use it.
(b) Use num_vfs given when enabling sriov in error unwinding path.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
