Subject: [PATCH net-next 10/11] net: macb: use context swapping in .set_ringparam()
Date: Wed, 01 Apr 2026 18:39:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260401-macb-context-v1-10-9590c5ab7272@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260401-macb-context-v1-0-9590c5ab7272@bootlin.com>

ethtool_ops.set_ringparam() is implemented using the primitive close /
update ring size / reopen sequence. Under memory pressure this does not
fly: we free our buffers at close and cannot reallocate new ones at
open. Also, it triggers a slow PHY reinit.

Instead, exploit the new context mechanism and improve our sequence to:
 - allocate a new context (including buffers) first
 - if it fails, early return without any impact to the interface
 - stop interface
 - update global state (bp, netdev, etc)
 - pass buffer pointers to the hardware
 - start interface
 - free old context.

The HW disable sequence is inspired by macb_reset_hw() but avoids
(1) setting NCR bit CLRSTAT and (2) clearing register PBUFRXCUT.

The HW re-enable sequence is inspired by macb_mac_link_up(), skipping
over register writes which would be redundant (because values have not
changed).

The generic context swapping parts are isolated into helper functions
macb_context_swap_start|end(), reusable by other operations (change_mtu,
set_channels, etc).
