+How can I use the Virtual Functions

 The VF is treated as hot-plugged PCI devices in the kernel, so they
 should be able to work in the same way as real PCI devices. The VF
 requires device driver that is same as a normal PCI device's.

 To enable SR-IOV capability:

+(a) For the first method, in the driver::
+
 	int pci_enable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev, int nr_virtfn);
-	'nr_virtfn' is number of VFs to be enabled.
-(b) For the second method, from sysfs:

+'nr_virtfn' is number of VFs to be enabled.

+(b) For the second method, from sysfs::
+
 	echo 'nr_virtfn' > \

 To disable SR-IOV capability:

 	echo  0 > \

 To enable auto probing VFs by a compatible driver on the host, run
 command below before enabling SR-IOV capabilities. This is the
 default behavior.

+
 	echo 1 > \
         /sys/bus/pci/devices/<DOMAIN:BUS:DEVICE.FUNCTION>/sriov_drivers_autoprobe
 
 To disable auto probing VFs by a compatible driver on the host, run
 command below before enabling SR-IOV capabilities. Updating this
 entry will not affect VFs which are already probed.
