Subject: [PATCH v2 net 1/9] net: enetc: fix incorrect mailbox message status returned to VFs
Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 11:05:27 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260518030535.1057228-2-wei.fang@nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260518030535.1057228-1-wei.fang@nxp.com>

There are two cases where VFs receive an incorrect success status from
the PF mailbox message handler, misleading them into believing their
requests have been fulfilled:

In enetc_msg_handle_rxmsg(), *status is pre-initialized to
ENETC_MSG_CMD_STATUS_OK. When an unsupported command type is received,
the default case only logs an error without updating *status, so it
remains as ENETC_MSG_CMD_STATUS_OK.

In enetc_msg_pf_set_vf_primary_mac_addr(), when the PF has already
assigned a MAC address for the VF (ENETC_VF_FLAG_PF_SET_MAC is set),
the function rejects the request but returns ENETC_MSG_CMD_STATUS_OK
instead of ENETC_MSG_CMD_STATUS_FAIL.

Therefore, correct the status value for the two cases mentioned above.

Fixes: beb74ac878c8 ("enetc: Add vf to pf messaging support")
