Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: airoha: keep PPE offload when NPU refuses flow stats
Date: Fri,  9 Oct 2026 10:33:22 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261009050322.39060-1-sayantann11@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261008094828.15458-1-sayantann11@gmail.com>

From: Chad Monroe <chad@monroe.io>

With flow stats enabled, PPE offload setup requests flow statistics
from the NPU. If the running NPU firmware does not support flow
counters, the request fails and the current setup path aborts PPE
offload.

Treat flow statistics as an optional capability so that a failure to
set up the counters does not prevent normal PPE offload. Record
whether flow statistics are available and continue PPE initialization
when the NPU refuses the flow-statistics request.

Also treat a zero NPU statistics address returned by the firmware as a
refusal. The host-side DMA buffer (foe_stats_dma) is allocated by
dmam_alloc_coherent() in airoha_ppe_init() from system memory. The NPU
statistics address (npu_stats_addr) is a separate allocation from the
NPU firmware's internal SRAM pool. When that pool is exhausted, the
firmware replies with success and npu_stats_addr = 0. A zero address
does not provide a usable counter region and must not be passed to
devm_ioremap().

When flow stats are available, clear PSE_PORT6_SHARE_DIS so that PSE
port 6 (CDM3 path to the NPU) participates in shared-buffer flow
control, which the counter traffic path needs.

When flow statistics are unavailable, PPE continues to operate without
NPU flow counters while retaining normal offload functionality.

This combines the original SmartRG/Airoha fixes for:
- keeping PPE offload active when the NPU refuses flow statistics
- treating a zero NPU statistics address as a flow-statistics refusal

Based on the original SmartRG/Airoha work by Chad Monroe:
5ce96ab ("SDG-9458: keep PPE offload when NPU refuses flow stats")
0ad8528 ("SDG-9458: airoha: treat a zero NPU stats address as a refusal")
Fixes: b81e0f2b58be ("net: airoha: Add FLOW_CLS_STATS callback support")
Tested-on: AN7581 with MT7992

Changes since v1:
- Rename flow_stats to flow_stats_cap (Lorenzo).
- Explain that npu_stats_addr is an NPU firmware SRAM allocation,
  distinct from the host-side foe_stats_dma buffer (Lorenzo).
- Explain why PSE_PORT6_SHARE_DIS is cleared for counter traffic
  (Lorenzo).
- Use airoha_fe_clear() and shorten the warning message (Lorenzo).
- Add hardware testing information requested by netdev-bot.
