Public bug reported:

Some devices doesn't seem to support link state setting:

ubuntu@devstack1:~$ ip l sh p2p1
189: p2p1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 0c:c4:7a:1e:ac:0e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    vf 0 MAC 00:00:00:00:00:00, spoof checking on, link-state auto
    vf 1 MAC 00:00:00:00:00:00, spoof checking on, link-state auto
    vf 2 MAC 00:00:00:00:00:00, spoof checking on, link-state auto
    vf 3 MAC 00:00:00:00:00:00, spoof checking on, link-state auto
    vf 4 MAC 00:00:00:00:00:00, spoof checking on, link-state auto
    vf 5 MAC 00:00:00:00:00:00, spoof checking on, link-state auto
    vf 6 MAC 00:00:00:00:00:00, spoof checking on, link-state auto
ubuntu@devstack1:~$

ubuntu@devstack1:~$ sudo ip l set dev p2p1 vf 6 state disable
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported
ubuntu@devstack1:~$

ubuntu@devstack1:~$ ls -all /sys/class/net/p2p1/device/driver/module
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jun 24 14:30 /sys/class/net/p2p1/device/driver/module -> ../../../../module/ixgbe
ubuntu@devstack1:~$

As you can see, this happens with the 'ixgbe' driver.

This confuses sriov agent:

In neutron/plugins/sriovnicagent/sriov_nic_agent.py there's a
'treat_device' method that's called after port binding for example. The
sriov agent tries to set VF state to UP and fails, so the code doesn't
reach self.plugin_rpc.update_device_up() and the port ends up hanging in
BUILD state.
