Subject: [PATCH net-next 14/15] net/mlx5e: Return errors from profile->enable
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 16:08:57 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707130858.969928-15-tariqt@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260707130858.969928-1-tariqt@nvidia.com>
From: Cosmin Ratiu <cratiu@nvidia.com>
profile->enable is called before enabling an mlx5 netdevice and
currently doesn't return errors. Code called from it has to either:
1. eat errors and keep going, leaving a netdevice initialized with
missing functionality
or
2. manually clean up things that other parts of the init flow might have
set up.
Option 1 might be useful in some cases for optional functionality but
option 2 doesn't make for good design.
Add a 3rd option for code which wants to propagate errors from
profile->enable and fail netdev init. This change is a noop for now, the
first 'user' of this option 3 will be in the next patch.
