Re: [PATCH v3] vp_vdpa: fix the method of calculating vectors

better subject:

vp_vdpa: don't allocate unused msix vectors

to make it clear it's not a bugfix.




more comments below, but most importantly this
looks like it adds a bug.

I would actually call allocated_vectors -> vectors, make the patch
smaller.

better:
allocated_vectors++; /* extra one for config */

using uninitialized msix_vec here?

I would expect compiler to warn about it.


pay attention to compiler warnings pls.

don't move pci_name - don't make unrelated code changes.

I would report ret here too.

don't make unrelated code changes.
