No it doesn't. Please, don't ask rhetorical questions. I have a toddler and I constantly ask him toddler level questions and it drives me nuts that all the adults in the room will answer me... "Yes, I already know that's a cow. I was quizing my son. But thank you!" Meanwhile I can't resist answering questions myself... The code looks like this: drivers/net/ethernet/huawei/hinic/hinic_hw_dev.c 345 hw_ioctxt.rq_depth = ilog2(rq_depth); 346 347 for (i = 0; ; i++) { 348 if ((rx_buf_sz_table[i].sz == HINIC_RX_BUF_SZ) || 349 (rx_buf_sz_table[i].sz == -1)) { 350 hw_ioctxt.rx_buf_sz_idx = rx_buf_sz_table[i].idx; 351 break; 352 } 353 } 354 355 if (hw_ioctxt.rx_buf_sz_idx == -1) 356 return -EINVAL; 357 The loop doesn't make sense. We are looping through rx_buf_sz_table[] until we hit 2048 or -1. But 2048 comes first so we always get there and break. We may as well replace all that code with: hw_ioctxt.rx_buf_sz_idx = 11; Something is very wrong. regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
