Subject: [PATCH v5 08/10] net/mlx5: pass maximum number of unicast MAC to common code
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 14:41:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723124200.3069410-9-david.marchand@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260723124200.3069410-1-david.marchand@redhat.com>
Isolate how the MAC addresses array is walked through in the common code
by passing the max index at which a unicast MAC address is stored in
dev->data->mac_addrs[].
In the sync callback, the size of the array allocated on the stack is
known by the caller, treat the mac_n field as an input parameter too.
With this change, only net/mlx5 knows about the max number of
unicast/multicast MAC addresses.
