This is admittedly a bit convoluted. > So shall I add comments here? Or rewrite the if statement to make this > more obvious? Ah! Of course you're right, I completely misread the code. Maybe indeed rewriting a bit to make it more obvious: if (gsi == -ENXIO && vpci->features & VIRTIO_PCI_F_SIGNAL_MSI) break; if (gsi < 0) { die("failed to configure MSIs"); break } which is closer to the first. Thanks, M. -- Jazz is not dead, it just smell funny.
