Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 09/15] ibmveth: Harden RX poll path with helpers
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 00:36:36 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260814073642.24630-10-mmc@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

ibmveth_poll() must handle several distinct skip/fail outcomes on each
RX slot, not only the happy path:
- interface close / napi_disable must not re-arm PHYP delivery
- bad correlators and harvest errors must not look like successful GRO
- oversize or wrap-around offset+length must not skb_put() past the
buffer
- an out-of-range queue index must napi_complete_done rather than
fall through and keep polling
Doing all of that inline turns the NAPI callback into a deeply nested
switchyard. Split each outcome into a small helper so ibmveth_poll()
stays a thin budget loop:
ibmveth_poll_stopping()
ibmveth_poll_harvest_slot() / recycle_invalid / skip_bad_correlator
ibmveth_poll_drop_oversize()
ibmveth_poll_deliver_frame()
ibmveth_poll_bump_invalid()
Drop schedule_work from rxq_get_buffer() (skip_bad_correlator owns
reset escalation). ibmveth_poll_stopping() ensures close/napi_disable
does not re-arm PHYP. Runtime is still single-queue: helpers are defined
and called from the existing SQ poll path in this same patch (first
use). The next patch turns on MQ and reuses this loop; subordinate
register helpers stay there.

Changes in v5:
- Wrap poll_stopping return after complete so it stays under 80 cols
- On poll_stopping after the budget loop: return < budget after
napi_complete_done (was frames_processed-1 even when under budget)
- New in v5: peel SQ poll harden + helpers before MQ enable so tip P10
stays bring-up focused (mailed v4 09/14 MQ enable -> tip P10; also
14->15). Kitchen-sink / enable-path poll fixes land here on the live
single-queue path first.
- After napi_complete_done, check poll_stopping again before enable_irq
(avoid re-arm while resize/close waits on napi_disable)
