[PATCH net-next v5 07/10] net: team: Track rx enablement separately from tx enablement

Marc Harvey
2026-04-06T03:05:00Z

Separate the rx and tx enablement/disablement into different
functions so that it is easier to interact with them independently
later.

Although this patch changes receive and transmit paths, the actual
behavior of the teaming driver should remain unchanged, since there
is no option introduced yet to change rx or tx enablement
independently. Those options will be added in follow-up patches.

Changes in v5:
- Reorder function calls in team_port_enable() to make sure the call
order stays the same as before.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260403-teaming-driver-internal-v4-7-d3032f33ca25@google.com/

Changes in v4:
- New patch: split from the original monolithic v3 patch "net: team:
Decouple rx and tx enablement in the team driver".
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260402-teaming-driver-internal-v3-6-e8cfdec3b5c2@google.com/
