Subject: [PATCH net 2/3] net/mlx5e: Fix setting RS FEC after remapping
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 19:46:33 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902164634.3657606-3-tariqt@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902164634.3657606-1-tariqt@nvidia.com>

From: Shahar Shitrit <shshitrit@nvidia.com>

When a user sets a FEC mode via ethtool, the driver maps the ethtool
FEC type to the lowest mlx5 bit of that type. For RS FEC, this is
MLX5E_FEC_RS_528_514 (bit 2). The driver then checks whether this
bit is supported by at least one link mode by inspecting the
fec_override_cap fields via mlx5e_fec_in_caps(), and returns
-EOPNOTSUPP if not.

This check is incorrect. RS FEC has three supported hardware variants:
RS_528_514 (bit 2), RS_544_514_INTERLEAVED_QUAD (bit 4), and
RS_544_514 (bit 7). mlx5e_remap_fec_conf_mode() already remaps bit 2
to the appropriate RS variant per link mode when writing the admin
fields, but the early capability check is done against the raw
unmapped bit. As a result, a device that supports RS_544_514 or
RS_544_514_INTERLEAVED_QUAD but not RS_528_514 will incorrectly reject
the user's RS FEC request.

Remove the early support check from mlx5e_set_fec_mode() and fold
it into the existing write loop, checking caps against the remapped
policy per link mode. Return -EOPNOTSUPP before the final register
write if no link mode accepted the policy.
