Hi Geetha,

Some minor feedback from my side.

It looks like the size argument should be sizeof(struct rep_dev *)
or sizeof(*priv->reps).

Please consider limiting lines in Networking code to 80 columns wide
where it can be achieved without too much bother.

I don't think the string passed to NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD needs a trailing '\n'.
I'm unsure if this also applies to NL_SET_ERR_MSG_FMT_MOD or not.

The current ndev appears to be leaked here,
as it does not appear to be covered by the unwind loop below.

I think this can be resolved using:

			free_netdev(ndev);

Even with the above fixed, Smatch complains that:

../rep.c:180 rvu_rep_create() warn: 'ndev' from alloc_etherdev_mqs() not released on lines: 180.
../rep.c:180 rvu_rep_create() warn: 'ndev' from register_netdev() not released on lines: 180.

Where line 180 is the very last line of the funciton: return err;

I think this is triggered by the error handling above.
However, I also think it is a false positive.
I've CCed Dan Carpenter as I'd value a second opinion on this one.
