Subject: [PATCH net v2] octeontx2-pf: check DMAC extraction support before filtering
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 11:53:29 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260626062329.871990-1-nshettyj@marvell.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260625172552.258631-1-nshettyj@marvell.com>

From: Suman Ghosh <sumang@marvell.com>

Currently, configuring a VF MAC address via the PF (e.g., 'ip link
set <pf> vf 0 mac <mac>') blindly attempts to install a DMAC-based
hardware filter. However, the hardware parser profile might not
support DMAC extraction.

Check if the hardware parsing profile supports DMAC extraction
before adding the filter. Additionally, emit a warning message
to inform the operator if the MAC filter installation fails due
to missing DMAC extraction support.

Fixes: f0c2982aaf98 ("octeontx2-pf: Add support for SR-IOV management functions")

v2:
 - Move the DMAC extraction check from otx2_set_vf_mac() into
   otx2_do_set_vf_mac() which already holds pf->mbox.lock, so all
   mbox operations are under a single lock/unlock pair. All error
   paths now use the existing goto-out pattern, eliminating the
   scattered mutex_unlock() + return calls from v1.
 - Return -EOPNOTSUPP instead of 0 when DMAC extraction is not
   supported, so the caller gets an explicit error rather than a
   silent success.
