My concern isn't about the above change (which handled the errors when reading multiplier). In fact, above change looks good to me! :-) I mean the below changes in this patch: while (pos) { ret = rte_pci_read_config(dev, &cap, sizeof(cap), pos); - if (ret < 0) { - PMD_INIT_LOG(ERR, - "failed to read pci cap at pos: %x", pos); + if (ret != sizeof(cap)) { + PMD_INIT_LOG(DEBUG, + "failed to read pci cap at pos: %x ret %d", + pos, ret); break; } With this change, it will give up reading other capabilities when failed to read a full virtio PCI capability structure (the returned bytes are less than the expected bytes) even though when the capability it's reading isn't a virtio vendor specific capability. Maybe it would be better to read the first two bytes first and check whether it's the capability we want to parse (i.e. vendor capability and MSIX capability). Something like this: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/72445a41b3ff/sys/dev/pci/pci.c#L1491-L1497 How do you think? Thanks
