Hi,

But I fear we missed one part of the deal. Concept patch:

Because:

static int add_promisc_qp(struct mlx4_dev *dev, u8 port,
               enum mlx4_steer_type steer, u32 qpn)
{
...
A)  s_steer = &mlx4_priv(dev)->steer[port - 1];

     mutex_lock(&priv->mcg_table.mutex);

     if (get_promisc_qp(dev, 0, steer, qpn)) {
         err = 0;  /* Noting to do, already exists */
         goto out_mutex;
     }
...
     /* add the new qpn to list of promisc qps */
C)  list_add_tail(&pqp->list, &s_steer->promisc_qps[steer]);
...
}

static struct mlx4_promisc_qp *get_promisc_qp(struct mlx4_dev *dev, u8 
pf_num,
                           enum mlx4_steer_type steer,
                           u32 qpn)

B)  struct mlx4_steer *s_steer = &mlx4_priv(dev)->steer[pf_num];
     struct mlx4_promisc_qp *pqp;

     list_for_each_entry(pqp, &s_steer->promisc_qps[steer], list) {
         if (pqp->qpn == qpn)
             return pqp;
     }
     /* not found */
     return NULL;
}

As far as I can understand, we are changing a list for a port and 
checking for duplicates on the other list. Points marked as A, B and C 
for highlighting. Am I missing something? What do you think?

FWIW, this call get_promisc_qp(dev, 0, ...) happens in other places too.

Thank you,
Marcelo.
