So the new comments makes it clear but can you consider change the name to reflect that? i.e. it is good to have comments describing variables role but better to have the names self explanatory. Something like the following will make comments almost unneeded. max_sge_rdma_rd: Maximum number of sges per WR for RDMA Read operations. max_sge_rd: Maximum number of sges per WR for QP for non RDMA Read My 2 cents. > > [1] http://www.rdmamojo.com/2012/07/13/ibv_query_device/ > > Signed-off-by: Parav Pandit<parav@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > Reviewed-by: Yishai Hadas <yishaih@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > > Pull request was sent: > https://github.com/linux-rdma/rdma-core/pull/131 > > libibverbs/man/ibv_query_device.3 | 4 ++-- > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/libibverbs/man/ibv_query_device.3 b/libibverbs/man/ibv_query_device.3 > index 35daa53..0e9d286 100644 > --- a/libibverbs/man/ibv_query_device.3 > +++ b/libibverbs/man/ibv_query_device.3 > @@ -33,8 +33,8 @@ uint32_t hw_ver; /* Hardware version */ > int max_qp; /* Maximum number of supported QPs */ > int max_qp_wr; /* Maximum number of outstanding WR on any work queue */ > int device_cap_flags; /* HCA capabilities mask */ > -int max_sge; /* Maximum number of s/g per WR for non-RD QPs */ > -int max_sge_rd; /* Maximum number of s/g per WR for RD QPs */ > +int max_sge; /* Maximum number of s/g per WR for SQ & RQ of QP for non RDMA Read operations */ Should the line be break here as it exceed 80 characters? > +int max_sge_rd; /* Maximum number of s/g per WR for RDMA Read operations */ > int max_cq; /* Maximum number of supported CQs */ > int max_cqe; /* Maximum number of CQE capacity per CQ */ > int max_mr; /* Maximum number of supported MRs */ > -- > 1.8.3.1 > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
