Bug Description
=== SRU Justification ===
[Impact]
Intel's VF drivers such as igbvf and ixgbevf are already available in
generic. It makes sense to add i40evf especially for SR-IOV enabled clouds with Intel X710/XXV710/XL710.
[Fix]
Add i40evf to linux-modules package
[Test]
Extract linux-modules to check if i40evf is there
[Regression Potential]
Low
========= original bug description =========
For example with bionic, i40evf module is in linux-modules-
$ curl -s http://
linux-base 4.5ubuntu1
linux-headers-
linux-headers-
linux-headers-
linux-headers-
linux-image-
linux-image-virtual 4.15.0.65.67
linux-modules-
linux-virtual 4.15.0.65.67
We don't need the whole linux-modules-extra because the size is not small, but we need some VF drivers in cloud guest image embedded for SR-IOV enabled cloud including OpenStack. Otherwise, the guest is unusable with no network device.
