Hi,
I have noticed this while loading ixgbe kernel module.
When I do something like:
insmod /path/to/ixgbe.ko max_vfs=5
The above command causes ixgbevf kernel module also automatically loaded.
The worst part is instead of loading ixgbevf which is compatible with
ixgbe, it just loads ixgbevf.ko from the default path.
I think this behavior is NOT correct and may cause issues. As per my
understanding, insmod should load what it was asked to load.
Please let me know otherwise.
version used: ixgbe-3.18.7.tar.gz
ixgbevf-2.11.3.tar.gz
Thx.
