Yes, thanks for the reminder. I had noticed it earlier.

I mentioned inefficient because below code gets executed unnecessarily.


/**
 * ice_get_avail_q_count - Get count of queues in use
 * @pf_qmap: bitmap to get queue use count from
 * @lock: pointer to a mutex that protects access to pf_qmap
 * @size: size of the bitmap
 */
static u16
ice_get_avail_q_count(unsigned long *pf_qmap, struct mutex *lock, u16 size)
{
	unsigned long bit;
	u16 count = 0;

	mutex_lock(lock);
	for_each_clear_bit(bit, pf_qmap, size)
		count++;
	mutex_unlock(lock);

	return count;
}

/**
 * ice_get_avail_txq_count - Get count of Tx queues in use
 * @pf: pointer to an ice_pf instance
 */
u16 ice_get_avail_txq_count(struct ice_pf *pf)
{
	return ice_get_avail_q_count(pf->avail_txqs, &pf->avail_q_mutex,
				     pf->max_pf_txqs);
}
