RE: [PATCH 1/2] bnx2x:Fix error handling in the function bnxc2x_dbcx_set_params

From: Yuval Mintz <hidden>
Date: 2015-07-19 06:51:22
Also in: lkml

This fixes the error handling in the function bnxc2x_dbcx_params for both calls
to bnx2x_dcbnl_update_applist by checking if they failed by returning a error
code and if so return immediately to this function's caller due to this
nonrecoverable internal failure.
Hi Nicholas,

Even assuming this is the reasonable thing to do [which I'm not fully convinced],
I don't think this solution is complete - you'd also need to break the iteration in
bnx2x_dcbnl_update_applist() [at the moment said function always returns 'rc'
from the last dcb_app weve tried setting].

Also, why do you send multiple patches for fixing the same issue in different
functions in the same file?

Thanks,
Yuval
