Subject: [PATCH net] net/mlx5e: fix BQL reset on SQ re-activation
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 14:47:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260728-mlx5-bql-v1-1-99a0ab77ede7@meta.com> (raw)

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

mlx5e_queue_start() deactivates and re-activates all channels but closes
only the queue being restarted. mlx5e_activate_txqsq() then
unconditionally calls netdev_tx_reset_queue(), zeroing the BQL counters
of channels that kept their in-flight TX WQEs. The next completion then
over-charges and trips the BUG_ON() in dql_completed():

  kernel BUG at lib/dynamic_queue_limits.c:99!
  RIP: 0010:dql_completed+0x23d/0x280
  Call Trace:
   <IRQ>
   mlx5e_poll_tx_cq+0x668/0xa60
   mlx5e_napi_poll+0x5b/0x7b0
   net_rx_action+0x15a/0x580

Reset BQL only when the SQ has no bytes in flight (sq->cc == sq->pc).

In the case that reset is skipped, the outstanding WQEs will eventually
complete and rebalance the dql. The dql->limit is carried across the
reset.

Fixes: b2588ea40ec9 ("net/mlx5e: Implement queue mgmt ops and single channel swap")
