Subject: [PATCH v3 net-next 4/5] net: fec: remove rx_align from fec_enet_private
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 10:51:47 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119025148.2817602-5-wei.fang@nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251119025148.2817602-1-wei.fang@nxp.com>
The rx_align was introduced by the commit 41ef84ce4c72 ("net: fec: change
FEC alignment according to i.mx6 sx requirement"). Because the i.MX6 SX
requires RX buffer must be 64 bytes alignment.
Since the commit 95698ff6177b ("net: fec: using page pool to manage RX
buffers"), the address of the RX buffer is always the page address plus
FEC_ENET_XDP_HEADROOM which is 256 bytes, so the RX buffer is always
64-byte aligned. Therefore, rx_align has no effect since that commit,
and we can safely remove it.
In addition, to prevent future modifications to FEC_ENET_XDP_HEADROOM,
a BUILD_BUG_ON() test has been added to the driver, which ensures that
FEC_ENET_XDP_HEADROOM provides the required alignment.
