Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 1/3] ethtool: Add RSS indirection table resize helpers
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 09:33:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317083339.2811865-2-bjorn@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260317083339.2811865-1-bjorn@kernel.org>
The core locks ctx->indir_size when an RSS context is created. Some
NICs (e.g. bnxt) change their indirection table size based on the
channel count, because the hardware table is a shared resource. This
forces drivers to reject channel changes when RSS contexts exist.
Add helpers to resize indirection tables:
ethtool_rxfh_can_resize() checks whether a table can be resized
without modifying it.
ethtool_rxfh_resize() resizes a raw u32 table in place. Folding
(shrink) requires the table to be periodic at the new size;
non-periodic tables are rejected. Unfolding (grow) replicates the
existing pattern. Sizes must be multiples of each other.
Both ethtool_rxfh_can_resize() and ethtool_rxfh_resize() take a
user_size parameter: the number of indirection table entries the user
originally provided. When shrinking, the table will not fold below
this floor.
ethtool_rxfh_ctxs_can_resize() validates all non-default RSS contexts
can be resized. ethtool_rxfh_ctxs_resize() applies the resize and
sends ETHTOOL_MSG_RSS_NTF per resized context after releasing
rss_lock.
No reallocation is needed because ethtool_rxfh_ctx_alloc() reserves
space for rxfh_indir_space entries, and key_off is based on that
maximum.
