Thanks Andy! I'll address the comments in v14. Some question for the comment below: > > + size = vring_size(vring->num, vring->align); > > + va = dma_alloc_coherent(dev->parent, size, &dma, GFP_KERNEL); > > + if (!va) { > > > + dev_err(dev->parent, "dma_alloc_coherent failed\n"); > > I don't see how this will free the allocated entries. > I think I told about this either. When an error is returned, all the allocated entries will be released by the in the caller context by calling mlxbf_tmfifo_free_vrings(), like the logic below. Or do you prefer releasing the entries in mlxbf_tmfifo_alloc_vrings() instead? 1073 if (mlxbf_tmfifo_alloc_vrings(fifo, tm_vdev)) { 1074 dev_err(dev, "unable to allocate vring\n"); 1075 ret = -ENOMEM; 1076 goto vdev_fail; 1077 } ... 1097 vdev_fail: 1098 mlxbf_tmfifo_free_vrings(fifo, tm_vdev); Regards, Liming > -----Original Message----- > From: Andy Shevchenko <andy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Friday, April 5, 2019 11:44 AM > To: Liming Sun <lsun@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: David Woods <dwoods@xxxxxxxxxxxx>; Andy Shevchenko <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Darren Hart <dvhart@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Vadim > Pasternak <vadimp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>; Linux Kernel Mailing List <linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Platform Driver <platform-driver- > x86@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: [PATCH v13] platform/mellanox: Add TmFifo driver for Mellanox BlueField Soc > > On Thu, Apr 4, 2019 at 10:36 PM Liming Sun <lsun@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > This commit adds the TmFifo platform driver for Mellanox BlueField > > Soc.
