Subject: [PATCH net-next v7 8/9] ice: move prefetch enable to ice_setup_rx_ctx
Date: Mon, 02 Dec 2024 16:26:31 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241202-packing-pack-fields-and-ice-implementation-v7-8-ed22e38e6c65@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241202-packing-pack-fields-and-ice-implementation-v7-0-ed22e38e6c65@intel.com>

The ice_write_rxq_ctx() function is responsible for programming the Rx
Queue context into hardware. It receives the configuration in unpacked form
via the ice_rlan_ctx structure.

This function unconditionally modifies the context to set the prefetch
enable bit. This was done by commit c31a5c25bb19 ("ice: Always set prefena
when configuring an Rx queue"). Setting this bit makes sense, since
prefetching descriptors is almost always the preferred behavior.

However, the ice_write_rxq_ctx() function is not the place that actually
defines the queue context. We initialize the Rx Queue context in
ice_setup_rx_ctx(). It is surprising to have the Rx queue context changed
by a function who's responsibility is to program the given context to
hardware.

Following the principle of least surprise, move the setting of the prefetch
enable bit out of ice_write_rxq_ctx() and into the ice_setup_rx_ctx().
