The ice driver has some logic in ice_vf_mbx.c used to detect potentially malicious VF behavior with regards to overflowing the PF mailbox. This logic currently stores message counts in struct ice_mbx_vf_counter.vf_cntr as an array. This array is allocated during initialization with ice_mbx_init_snapshot. This logic makes sense for SR-IOV where all VFs are allocated at once up front. However, in the future with Scalable IOV this logic will not work. VFs can be added and removed dynamically. We could try to keep the vf_cntr array for the maximum possible number of VFs, but this is a waste of memory. Use the recently introduced struct ice_mbx_vf_info structure to store the message count. Pass a pointer to the mbx_info for a VF instead of using its VF ID. Replace the array of VF message counts with a linked list that tracks all currently active mailbox tracking info 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.
