Subject: [PATCH net v2 08/12] ice: fix crash in ethtool offline loopback test
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 13:15:39 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225211546.1949260-9-anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260225211546.1949260-1-anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>

From: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>

Since the conversion of ice to page pool, the ethtool loopback test
crashes:

It crashes because we have not initialized libeth for the rx ring.

Fix it by treating ICE_VSI_LB VSIs slightly more like normal PF VSIs and
letting them have a q_vector. It's just a dummy, because the loopback
test does not use interrupts, but it contains a napi struct that can be
passed to libeth_rx_fq_create() called from ice_vsi_cfg_rxq() ->
ice_rxq_pp_create().
