Thank you for your review. The another instance of get_group_fd(), is this it?
int
fslmc_vfio_setup_group(void) {
...
/* Get the actual group fd */
ret = rte_vfio_get_group_fd(groupid);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
vfio_group.fd = ret;
...
}
I don't think this's necessary. Because it must be a valid descriptor before it
can be used.
