Sorry, I make a mistake, what I mean is:

1. ret = i40e_aq_get_vsi_params(hw, &ctxt, NULL);
    here will fill the the field  ctxt.info of struct i40e_vsi_context
ctxt right?
    So ctxt.info is get from other place.

2. Then:

+	ctxt.info.valid_sections =
+		rte_cpu_to_le_16(I40E_AQ_VSI_PROP_SWITCH_VALID);

Has been override by assignment a value, so I just confuse whether it has some issue.

If I'm wrong, please ignore.


Thanks,
Michael
