The QAT driver allows enabling SR-IOV VFs but does not allow them to be disabled through a write to sysfs. Disabling SR-IOV VFs can be only achieved by bringing down and up a device using the attribute /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state. The documentation for the sysfs attribute `sriov_numvfs` specifies that "a userspace application wanting to disable the VFs would write a zero to this file". Add support for disabling SR-IOV VFs by writing '0' to the 'sriov_numvfs' attribute in sysfs. Enabling or disabling SR-IOV always requires adf_dev_down() to be called. This action subsequently leads to the deletion of the ADF_KERNEL_SEC configuration section. The keys ADF_NUM_CY and ADF_NUM_DC within that section must be set to '0', otherwise, the driver will register into the Linux Crypto Framework. Because of this, the configuration in the ADF_KERNEL_SEC section must be added before every sriov_enable.

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 reStructuredText 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.
