Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 13/14] net: macb: use context swapping in .set_ringparam()
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 21:52:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410-macb-context-v2-13-af39f71d40b6@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260410-macb-context-v2-0-af39f71d40b6@bootlin.com>
ethtool_ops.set_ringparam() is implemented using the primitive close /
update ring size / reopen sequence. Under memory pressure this does not
fly: we free our buffers at close and cannot reallocate new ones at
open. Also, it triggers a slow PHY reinit.
Instead, exploit the new context mechanism and improve our sequence to:
- allocate a new context (including buffers) first
- if it fails, early return without any impact to the interface
- stop interface
- update global state (bp, netdev, etc)
- pass buffer pointers to the hardware
- start interface
- free old context.
The HW disable sequence is inspired by macb_reset_hw() but avoids
(1) setting NCR bit CLRSTAT and (2) clearing register PBUFRXCUT.
The HW re-enable sequence is inspired by macb_mac_link_up(), skipping
over register writes which would be redundant (because values have not
changed).
The generic context swapping parts are isolated into helper functions
macb_context_swap_start|end(), reusable by other operations (change_mtu,
set_channels, etc).
