[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/2] net/i40e: support VF request more queues

[Yan, Zhirun]

Hi David,

The i40evf_init_vlan() always returns 0. So the change doesn’t affect it.
I agree with you. So I will put the "int ret" declaration in the new block in next version.

Thanks.

Did not look too much into this code, but I noticed that with this change, you always return 0, whatever happened with i40evf_init_vlan().
I would have put the "int ret" declaration in the new block and left the return i40evf_init_vlan(dev); as is.
Do you have a rationale not to do so ?
