Subject: [PATCH iwl-next v3 01/10] ixgbevf: remove legacy Rx
Date: Wed,  4 Mar 2026 17:03:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260304160345.1340940-2-larysa.zaremba@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260304160345.1340940-1-larysa.zaremba@intel.com>

Similarly as in commit 53844673d555 ("iavf: kill "legacy-rx" for good"),
drop skb construction logic in favor of only using napi_build_skb() as a
superior option that reduces the need to allocate and copy memory.

As IXGBEVF_PRIV_FLAGS_LEGACY_RX is the only private flag in ixgbevf,
entirely remove private flags support from the driver.

When compared to iavf changes, ixgbevf has a single complication: MAC type
82599 cannot finely limit the DMA write size with RXDCTL.RLPML, only 1024
increments through SRRCTL are available, see commit fe68195daf34
("ixgbevf: Require large buffers for build_skb on 82599VF") and commit
2bafa8fac19a ("ixgbe: don't set RXDCTL.RLPML for 82599"). Therefore, this
is a special case requiring legacy RX unless large buffers are used. For
now, solve this by always using large buffers for this MAC type.
