Subject: [PATCH] net/ixgbe: clear registers of all queues on VF reset

ixgbe devices support up to 8 Rx and Tx queues per virtual function.
Currently, the registers of only seven queues are set to default when
resetting a VF.

Fixes: d17d0b7a2407 ("ixgbe/base: reset VF registers")

Good catch, thanks!

This seems a very long lived defect, I am just suspicious if there was a reason 
to limit queue number to 7.


Simon,

How did you find the defect? And did you test/verify it with the update? 
(assuming you are using all 8 queues for the VF)
