You don't want to refill existing queues, so you don't need the "if".
for (i = vi->curr_queue_pairs; i < queue_pairs; i++) {
if (!try_fill_recv(&vi->rq[i], GFP_KERNEL))
schedule_delayed_work(&vi->refill, 0);
We don't free up buffers when we're reducing queues, but I consider that
a corner case.
Thanks,
