Yes, I can't be sure if other HW type support this.

Yes, this is a static function, so it can't be called by other type of NIC. I add this in order to prevent it being called by other NIC. Now I see it is unnecessary. I will remove it in next version of patch. > > > + > > + /* set default queue number per VF as 4 */ > > + pf->vf_nb_qp_max = RTE_LIBRTE_I40E_QUEUE_NUM_PER_VF; > > + > > + if (dev->device->devargs == NULL) > > + return 0; > > + > > + s = rte_zmalloc(__func__, strlen(dev->device->devargs->args) + 1, > > +0); > > No need to allocate temp memory from hugepages here. > Normal malloc, or even alloca() would do, I think. Yes, no need to allocate memory from hugepage. I will use normal malloc/freee instead of rte_zmalloc/rte_free. > > > > + if (s == NULL) > > + return -(ENOMEM); > > + strcpy(s, dev->device->devargs->args); > > + > > What is the point to write your own parsing function from scratch? > Why just not use rte_kvargs API as most other PMDs do? > BTW, i40e does the same in few other places. Thanks for your guidance. I will use rte_kvargs in next version of patch. I write my own parsing function only for performance. As it is only in control path and for SW maintenance, it is better to use rte_kvargs. > > > + ps0 = s; > > + do { > > + while (isblank(*ps0)) > > + ps0++; > > + pv = strchr(ps0, '='); > > + if (pv == NULL) > > + break; > > + ps1 = pv - 1; > > + *pv++ = 0; > > + > > + while (isblank(*ps1)) > > + *ps1-- = 0; > > + > > + if (!strcmp(ps0, I40E_QUEUE_NUM_PER_VF_ARG)) { > > + errno = 0; > > + value = strtoul(pv, &end, 0); > > + if (errno != 0 || end == pv) > > That wouldn't catch something like ...=1blah, Should be *end != '0' (or > whatever your stop-character is). > Anyway would be much better to use kvargs. > Even better to have a common function, something like: > int devargs_get_uint(const struct rte_devargs *devargs, const char > *name,uint64_t *value); and use it in all appropriate places.
