Subject: [PATCH net-next 4/6] bnx2x: no error when RSS configuration fails
Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2013 20:44:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1387824283-15687-5-git-send-email-yuvalmin@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1387824283-15687-1-git-send-email-yuvalmin@broadcom.com>
It's possible for VMs with older versions of bnx2x to run over a hypervisor
with latest driver. If a VF in such a VM does not support RSS configuration,
the PF driver in the hypervisor will print an error message to system logs.
This changes the error message into a debug message, as this is very likely
a false alarm for an older VF (i.e., VF manages to work properly; PF simply
cannot configure the additional queues for it).
