Subject: [PATCH v2 net 01/11] octeontx2-af: npc: cn20k: Propagate MCAM key-type errors on cn20k
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:04:32 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420023442.3295891-2-rkannoth@marvell.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260420023442.3295891-1-rkannoth@marvell.com>
npc_mcam_idx_2_key_type() can fail; callers used to ignore it and still
used kw_type when enabling, configuring, copying, and reading MCAM
entries. That could program or decode hardware with an undefined key
type.
Return -EINVAL when key-type lookup fails. Return -EINVAL from
npc_cn20k_copy_mcam_entry() when src and dest key types differ instead
of failing silently.
Change npc_cn20k_{enable,config,copy,read}_mcam_entry() to return int on
success or error. Thread those errors through the cn20k MCAM write and
read mbox handlers, the cn20k baseline steer read path, NPC defrag
move (disable/copy/enable with dev_err and -EFAULT), and the DMAC
update path in rvu_npc_fs.c.
Make npc_copy_mcam_entry() return int so the cn20k branch can return
npc_cn20k_copy_mcam_entry() without a void/int mismatch, and fail
NPC_MCAM_SHIFT_ENTRY when copy fails.
