Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] net: mana: hardening: Reject zero max_num_queues from GDMA_QUERY_MAX_RESOURCES
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 01:36:21 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430083627.1873757-1-ernis@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In a CVM environment, hardware responses cannot be trusted. The
GDMA_QUERY_MAX_RESOURCES command returns resource limits used to
determine the maximum number of queues.
In mana_gd_query_max_resources(), gc->max_num_queues is initialized
from num_online_cpus() and successively clamped by the hardware-reported
max_eq, max_cq, max_sq, max_rq, and num_msix_usable values. If any of
these hardware values is zero, gc->max_num_queues becomes zero and the
function returns success. This leads to a confusing failure later when
alloc_etherdev_mq() is called with zero queues, returning NULL and
producing a misleading -ENOMEM error.
Add an explicit zero check for gc->max_num_queues after all clamping
steps and return -ENOSPC for a clear early failure, consistent with the
existing gc->num_msix_usable <= 1 guard.
