Re: [dpdk-dev] vf init issue with patch igb_uio: issue FLR during open and release of device file

["Yang, Qiming" <qiming.yang@intel.com>]

Hi, Thomas
We meet a urgent issue because of Shijith's patch. 
When use DPDK version 17.08, DPDK VF driver and kernel PF driver, i40e, ixgbe and qede(Harish said) VF all meet initial failure.
This issue only occurred when use 17.08 igb_uio, vfio-pci and 17.05 igb_uio all works well.
Considering this issue will block our vf driver develop and test work, could we revert this patch first and find another appropriate way?
