[ Upstream commit 47b6f50077e68bcd544f657526dad4bfdce7e87d ]
There seems to be a problem in the x540's internal switch wherein if SR-IOV mode is enabled and an offloaded IPsec packet is sent to a local VF, the packet is silently dropped. This might never be a problem as it is somewhat a corner case, but if someone happens to be using IPsec offload from the PF to a VF that just happens to get migrated to the local box, communication will mysteriously fail.
Not good.
A simple way to protect from this is to simply not allow any IPsec offloads for outgoing packets when num_vfs != 0. This doesn't help any offloads that were created before SR-IOV was enabled, but we'll get to that later.
