Created attachment 166757 [details] Proposed patch The ixv driver incorrectly accesses the following non-VF registers: IXGBE_ERRBC and IXGBE_RXCSUM. The offset of these registers is actually larger than the VF's bar size, so it ends up overflowing and accessing the next BAR instead. This could cause issues, but by happenstance it ends up writing to an unused portion of the MSI-X table BAR of the VF, which seems to have no ill effect. Could cause problems if the pci layout were changed/different and definitely appears to be incorrect. I attached a patch that removes these accesses. Removing the IXGBE_ERRBC access should be no problem. For IXGBE_RXCSUM I'm less sure, but I don't see any equivalent register to set in the VF register specification.
It looks like your patch is now mostly committed. The only part that is left is printing Error Byte Count, but that doesn't do any harm. Closing.
