Hey William, Thanks for reporting the dereference. Could you provide a little more detail on how you created this issue? Are you just running the two commands (ip, sriov_numvfs) in some rc script and if you put a few second sleep in front of it you don't see the failure? Thanks, -Don Skidmore <[email protected]>
