Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] i40e: validate ring_len parameter against hardware-specific values.
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2025 09:04:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251113080459.2290580-2-gregory.herrero@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251113080459.2290580-1-gregory.herrero@oracle.com>
From: Gregory Herrero <gregory.herrero@oracle.com>
The maximum number of descriptors supported by the hardware is hardware
dependent and can be retrieved using i40e_get_max_num_descriptors().
Move this function to a shared header and use it when checking for valid
ring_len parameter rather than using hardcoded value.
Cast info->ring_len to u32 in i40e_config_vsi_tx_queue() as it's u16 in
struct virtchnl_txq_info.
Also cast it in i40e_config_vsi_rx_queue() even if it's u32 in
virtchnl_rxq_info to ease stable backport in case this changed.
By fixing an over-acceptance issue, behavior change could be seen where
ring_len would now be rejected whereas it was not before.
Fixes: 55d225670def ("i40e: add validation for ring_len param")
