[ Upstream commit d0725312adf5a803de8f621bd1b12ba7a6464a29 ] Commit339f289641("ixgbevf: Add support for new mailbox communication between PF and VF") added support for v1.5 of the PF to VF mailbox communication API. This commit mistakenly enabled IPSEC offload for API v1.5. No implementation of the v1.5 API has support for IPSEC offload. This offload is only supported by the Linux PF as mailbox API v1.4. In fact, the v1.5 API is not implemented in any Linux PF. Attempting to enable IPSEC offload on a PF which supports v1.5 API will not work. Only the Linux upstream ixgbe and ixgbevf support IPSEC offload, and only as part of the v1.4 API. Fix the ixgbevf Linux driver to stop attempting IPSEC offload when the mailbox API does not support it. The existing API design choice makes it difficult to support future API versions, as other non-Linux hosts do not implement IPSEC offload. If we add support for v1.5 to the Linux PF, then we lose support for IPSEC offload. A full solution likely requires a new mailbox API with a proper negotiation to check that IPSEC is actually supported by the host.

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.
