    igb: do not re-init SR-IOV during probe · 6423fc34
    Stefan Assmann authored
    During driver probing the following code path is triggered.
    igb_probe
    ->igb_sw_init
      ->igb_probe_vfs
        ->igb_pci_enable_sriov
          ->igb_sriov_reinit
    
    Doing the SR-IOV re-init is not necessary during probing since we're
    starting from scratch. Here we can call igb_enable_sriov() right away.
    
    Running igb_sriov_reinit() during igb_probe() also seems to cause
    occasional packet loss on some onboard 82576 NICs. Reproduced on
    Dell and HP servers with onboard 82576 NICs.
    Example:
    Intel Corporation 82576 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10c9] (rev 01)
    Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:0481]
