Based on your description, this is a user visible API change. We now
return success so long as we allocated at least a single vector and the
user has no way to know that they didn't get all the vectors they
requested. That's unacceptable, userspace expects the old API - setup
the requested vectors or setup none and tell me how many to retry with.
To maintain the same API exposed to userspace, I'd think we need
something like:
if (ret != nvec) {
if (ret > 0)
pci_disable...
kfree(...
kfree(...
return ret;
}
Thanks,
Alex
