[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix representors detection

[Nelio Laranjeiro]

On systems where the required Netlink commands are not supported but
Mellanox OFED is installed, representors information must be retrieved
through sysfs.

I find this logic a bit complex to be under a single if statement. Can you simplify it w/ local variables?

This goto is not correct. 
Representors will indeed be able to read, but PFs will not be able to open the phys_port_name (as there is none).
The phys_switch_id is accessible form both. 

I pasted a suggestion below[1], let me know what you think.

It won't be so easy has the second step depends on the result of the
mlx5_nl_switch_info() call.  To split this if statement into two, it
will be a full copy of the first block by replacing only the call to
mlx5_nl_switch_info().

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] net/mlx5: fix representors detection

[Nelio Laranjeiro]

On systems where the required Netlink commands are not supported but
Mellanox OFED is installed, representors information must be retrieved
through sysfs.

Fixes: 4c10141488fe ("net/mlx5: add port representor awareness")

Signed-off-by: Nelio Laranjeiro <nelio.laranjeiro@6wind.com>

---

Changes in v2:

On some distribution, the PF may not be able to open the sysfs file,
such issue should not be handled as an error.
