Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] common/mlx5: fix bogus assert
Date: Thu, 14 May 2020 15:11:22 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AM0PR05MB4561F71A4AAA6D65A97B9158A2BC0@AM0PR05MB4561.eurprd05.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1589440142-7197-1-git-send-email-viacheslavo@mellanox.com>

These asserts seem redundant for me. Don't you think?
EINVAL is returned, why bother to assert the same condition?

Regards,
Alex
