We are planning to replace the simple array structure tracking VFs with a hash table. This change will also remove the "num_alloc_vfs" variable. Instead, new access functions to use the hash table as the source of truth will be introduced. These will generally be equivalent to existing checks, except during VF initialization. Specifically, ice_set_per_vf_res() cannot use the hash table as it will be operating prior to VF structures being inserted into the hash table. Instead of using pf->num_alloc_vfs, simply pass the num_vfs value in from the caller. Note that a sub-function of ice_set_per_vf_res, ice_determine_res, also implicitly depends on pf->num_alloc_vfs. Replace ice_determine_res with a simpler inline implementation based on rounddown_pow_of_two. Note that we must explicitly check that the argument is non-zero since it does not play well with zero as a value. Instead of using the function and while loop, simply calculate the number of queues we have available by dividing by num_vfs. Check if the desired queues are available. If not, round down to the nearest power of 2 that fits within our available queues. This matches the behavior of ice_determine_res but is easier to follow as simple in-line logic. Remove ice_determine_res entirely. With this change, we no longer depend on the pf->num_alloc_vfs during the initialization phase of VFs. This will allow us to safely remove it in a future planned refactor of the VF data structures.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
