After an upstream patch (see Fixes), net_ixgbe_vf is no longer
declared in testpmd PMD info, when compiling under Redhat-9:
$ meson setup build && ninja -C build

"name": "net_ixgbe",
Name 'net_ixgbe_vf' should also be reported.
One workaround is to move 'intel/ixgbe' as last in the list of Intel
drivers. This restores net_ixgbe_vf under Redhat-9:
$ meson setup build && ninja -C build
$ ./usertools/dpdk-pmdinfo.py build/app/dpdk-testpmd|grep ixgbe
"name": "net_ixgbe_vf",
"name": "net_ixgbe",
Fixes: 04f1b16c54f3 ("drivers: merge common and net idpf drivers")

This is a strange one - did you do any investgation into why or how this
fixes things? You describe it as a workaround so any hints towards a proper
root cause and fix are welcome :-)
Hello Bruce,
This is indeed a bit puzzling: it seems that the expected ELF section is
present, a 'strings' dump shows no difference between a 'full' testpmd
and one missing ixgbe_vf. Still pmdinfo is missing one PMD.
The issue was not seen when using Ubuntu-24.04.
Best regards
Thierry
