Subject: [PATCH net] net: mana: Return error code from mana_create_rxq()
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 19:48:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260718024818.560552-1-gargaditya@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
mana_create_rxq() returns a struct mana_rxq pointer and returns NULL on
any failure. The caller, mana_add_rx_queues(), cannot tell what went
wrong and hardcodes the error as -ENOMEM. As a result the actual failure
reported by the lower layers (for example -EPROTO from a failed HW
request) is masked and every RX queue creation failure looks like an
out-of-memory error.
Change mana_create_rxq() to return an int and pass the created rxq back
to the caller through an output parameter. The caller now propagates the
returned error code directly instead of substituting -ENOMEM.
Fixes: ca9c54d2d6a5 ("net: mana: Add a driver for Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA)")
