Per the comment in the code snippet above, "If we can't get all 4, then we can't use MSI-X". There is already a check to see if more than 4 were acquired. So it's not possible to hit this. Even if it was, don't use SNB_MSIX_CNT here (limits.msix_cnt is the preferred variable). Also, the "()" are unnecessary. Thanks, Jon > -- > Regards, > Alexander Gordeev > agordeev@redhat.com
