[ Upstream commit50ac747984] The userspace utility "driverctl" can be used to change/override the system's default driver choices. This is useful in some situations (buggy driver, old driver missing a device ID, trying a workaround, etc.) where the user needs to load a different driver. However, this is also prone to user error, where a driver is mapped to a device it's not designed to drive. For example, if the ice driver is mapped to driver iavf devices, the ice driver crashes. Add a check to return an error if the ice driver is being used to probe a virtual function.

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.
