Allocating steerable UD QPs depends on having at least one IB port, while releasing those QPs does not. As a result, when there are only ETH ports, the IB (RoCE) driver requests releasing a qp range whose base qp is zero, with qp count zero. When SR-IOV is enabled, and the VF driver is running on a VM over a hypervisor which treats such qp release calls as errors (rather than NOPs), we see lines in the VM message log like: mlx4_core 0002:00:02.0: Failed to release qp range base:0 cnt:0 Fix this by adding a check for a zero count in mlx4_release_qp_range() (which thus treats releasing 0 qps as a nop), and eliminating the check for device managed flow steering when releasing steerable UD QPs. (Freeing ib_uc_qpns_bitmap unconditionally is also OK, since it remains NULL when steerable UD QPs are not allocated).
