Subject: [PATCH net] net: enetc: do not transmit redirected XDP frames when the link is down
Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2025 18:53:07 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251205105307.2756994-1-wei.fang@nxp.com> (raw)
In the current implementation, the enetc_xdp_xmit() always transmits
redirected XDP frames even if the link is down, but the frames cannot
be transmitted from TX BD rings when the link is down, so the frames
are still kept in the TX BD rings. If the XDP program is uninstalled,
users will see the following warning logs.
fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.0 eno0: timeout for tx ring #6 clear
More worse, the TX BD ring cannot work properly anymore, because the
HW PIR and CIR are not the same after the re-initialization of the TX
BD ring. And I see no reasons to transmit the redirected XDP frames
when the link is down, so add a link status check to quickly fix this
issue. However, this solution does not completely solve the problem,
for example, if the link is broken during transmission and the TX BD
ring still has unsent frames. I think this requires another patch to
address this situation, but it will not conflict with the current
solution and can coexist.
Fixes: 9d2b68cc108d ("net: enetc: add support for XDP_REDIRECT")
