However, all that detail is completely unclear to the reader of the function, so perhaps we can clean up the code to make it more explicit what is happening. For example: /* for pool >= 32, set bit in PFVFRE[1], otherwise PFVFRE[0] */ if (pool >= ETH_64_POOLS) return -EINVAL; else if (pool >= ETH_64_POOLS/2) { addr = IXGBE_VFRE(1); val = bit1 << (pool - 32); } else { addr = IXGBE_VFRE(0); val = bit1 << pool; } reg = IXGBE_READ_REG(hw, addr); This should fix the issue and make the resulting code clearer, I think. /Bruce
