Subject: [PATCH iwl-net v3 2/3] ice: fix autoneg disable when link partner doesn't support AN
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 15:32:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918133234.4169074-3-aleksandr.loktionov@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918133234.4169074-1-aleksandr.loktionov@intel.com>
From: Konrad Knitter <konrad.knitter@intel.com>
Disabling autonegotiation was silently ignored when autoneg had not yet
completed (ICE_AQ_AN_COMPLETED was not set), leaving the configuration
unchanged with no error. This could prevent link from forming if the
link partner requires non-autoneg mode.
Extend the condition to also allow disabling autoneg when the link
partner reports no AN ability (ICE_AQ_LP_AN_ABILITY clear). Gate the
ICE_AQ_LP_AN_ABILITY check on the link being up so that stale or
zeroed an_info when link is down does not produce a false positive.
Introduce the helper ice_autoneg_disable_allowed() to make the check
explicit.
Fixes: f1a4a66d2310 ("ice: fix set pause param autoneg check")
