The patch is line-wrapped and bizarrely corrupted and won't apply, eg:
> + mthca_warn(mdev, "num_qp rounded to power of 2 (%d).\n",
> + default_profile.num_qp); + }
This is completely unnecessary:
> +#define to_up_power_of_2(x) (x = roundup_pow_of_two(x))
...just open code this.
And this seems strange:
> +#define is_power_of_2(x) (x>0 &&(x & (x - 1)))
so there's no warning if someone passes in a negative value?? and
it's backwards too, (x & (x - 1)) is 0 precisely for the powers of 2.
Was this patch tested at all?
Anyway, all this
> + if (!is_power_of_2(default_profile.num_qp)){
> + to_up_power_of_2(default_profile.num_qp);
> + mthca_warn(mdev, "num_qp rounded to power of 2 (%d).\n",
> + default_profile.num_qp); + }
seems very repetive. Can't it be wrapped up in a function so we just
do something like
mthca_check_profile_value(&default_profile.num_qp);
mthca_check_profile_value(&default_profile.rdb_per_qp);
mthca_check_profile_value(&default_profile.num_cq);
etc.
- R.
