Subject: [PATCH net-next 11/11] net: macb: use context swapping in .ndo_change_mtu()
Date: Wed, 01 Apr 2026 18:39:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260401-macb-context-v1-11-9590c5ab7272@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260401-macb-context-v1-0-9590c5ab7272@bootlin.com>

Use newly introduced context buffer management to implement
.ndo_change_mtu() as a context swap: allocate new context ->
reconfigure HW -> free old context.

This resists memory pressure well by failing without closing the
interface and it is much faster by avoiding PHY reinit.
