It seems to indicate an ordering of device tables vs. collection tables. What is that? I thought the point was that you'd want to save the valid table, and not save the other one. So, aren't we looking for something like this: ret = vgic_its_save_device_tables(its); if (ret < 0) goto out; ret = vgic_its_save_collection_table(its); Thanks, -Christoffer
