Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] examples/ioat: fix invalid link status check
Date: Fri,  7 Feb 2020 10:24:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200207102402.24396-1-ciara.power@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200204160156.64773-1-ciara.power@intel.com>

The return value of the get link function call was not checked, and
could return a negative value indicating a failure. This meant the
link_status of the link being checked is invalid, because the link was
not filled with data. The return value is now checked, and if the return
value is not 0 for success, the loop continues with the next port.

To avoid confusion between variable names, the existing retval variable
is renamed to link_status, to better represent its use.

Coverity issue: 350348
Fixes: c8e6ceecebc1 ("examples/ioat: add new sample app for ioat driver")
