Dear Salil,
Thank you very much for your patch.
Thanks for the review.
In the git commit message summary, could you please use imperative mood [1]?
No issues. There is always a scope of improvement.
Re-organize reqstd/avail {R, T}XQ check/code for efficiency+readability
It’s a bit long though. Maybe:
Avoid unnecessary assignment with user specified {R,T}XQs
Umm..above conveys the wrong meaning as this is not what patch is doing.
If you see the code, in the presence of the user specified {R,T}XQs it avoids fetching available {R,T}XQ count.
What about below?
"Avoid unnecessary avail_{r,t}xq assignments if user has specified Qs"
Am 14.04.21 um 00:44 schrieb Salil Mehta:
If user has explicitly requested the number of {R,T}XQs, then it is unnecessary to get the count of already available {R,T}XQs from the PF avail_{r,t}xqs bitmap. This value will get overridden by user specified value in any case.
This patch does minor re-organization of the code for improving the flow and readabiltiy. This scope of improvement was found during the review of
readabil*it*y
Thanks. Missed that earlier. My shaky fingers :(
the ICE driver code.
FYI, I could not test this change due to unavailability of the hardware. It would be helpful if somebody can test this patch and provide Tested-by Tag. Many thanks!
This should go outside the commit message (below the --- for example).
Agreed.
Fixes: 87324e747fde ("ice: Implement ethtool ops for channels")
Did you check the behavior before is actually a bug? Or is it just for the detection heuristic for commits to be applied to the stable series?
Right, later was the idea.

I have not looked into that detail but irrespective of what compiler generates I would like to keep the code in a shape which is more efficient and more readable.
I do understand in certain cases we have to do tradeoff between efficiency and readability but I do not see that here.
