Subject: [RFC net-next 1/2] bnxt_en: return status from bnxt_hwrm_tx_ring_free
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 16:32:14 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917233218.1160001-2-joe@dama.to> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917233218.1160001-1-joe@dama.to>

hwrm_ring_free_send_msg() already reports failure to its caller,
returning -EIO when the firmware rejects HWRM_RING_FREE or never
answers it. bnxt_hwrm_tx_ring_free() discards that value.

Return it instead. No caller acts on it yet, so there is no functional
change; this only makes the failure observable so that the next patches
can recover from it.
