Subject: [PATCH net-next V2 2/3] net/mlx5: E-Switch, introduce generic work queue dispatch helper
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 08:10:16 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428051018.219093-3-tariqt@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260428051018.219093-1-tariqt@nvidia.com>
From: Mark Bloch <mbloch@nvidia.com>
Each E-Switch work item requires the same boilerplate: acquire the
devlink lock, check whether the work is stale, dispatch to the
appropriate handler, and release the lock. Factor this out.
Add a func callback to mlx5_host_work so the generic handler
esw_wq_handler() can dispatch to the right function without
duplicating locking logic. Introduce mlx5_esw_add_work() as the
single enqueue point: it stamps the work item with the current
generation counter and queues it onto the E-Switch work queue.
Refactor esw_vfs_changed_event_handler() to match the new contract:
it no longer receives work_gen or out as parameters. It queries
mlx5_esw_query_functions() itself and owns the kvfree() of the
result. The devlink lock is acquired and released by esw_wq_handler()
before dispatching, so the handler runs with the lock already held.
Update mlx5_esw_funcs_changed_handler() to use mlx5_esw_add_work().
