The changelog is definitely bogus. I meant here an improvement to the
existing scheme, not a conversion to the new one:
msix_entries = msix_table_size(val);
Getting i.e. 16 vectors here.
if (msix_entries > ndev->limits.msix_cnt) {
rc = -EINVAL;
goto err;
}
Upper limit check i.e. succeeds.
[...]
rc = pci_enable_msix(pdev, ndev->msix_entries, msix_entries);
pci_enable_msix() does not success and returns i.e. 8 here, should retry.
if (rc < 0)
goto err1;
if (rc > 0) {
/* On SNB, the link interrupt is always tied to 4th vector. If
* we can't get all 4, then we can't use MSI-X.
*/
if (ndev->hw_type != BWD_HW) {
On SNB bail out here, although could have continue with 8 vectors.
Can only use SNB_MSIX_CNT here, since limits.msix_cnt is the upper limit.
rc = -EIO;
goto err1;
}
[...]
}
