Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 7/7] bnxt_en: Fix ring accounting and validation when rings are constrained
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 15:08:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261012220827.340998-8-michael.chan@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261012220827.340998-1-michael.chan@broadcom.com>
When __bnxt_reserve_rings() reserves fewer TX rings than requested,
and an XDP program is attached, the driver used to blindly subtract
bp->tx_nr_rings_xdp from bp->tx_nr_rings, potentially causing an integer
underflow.
This patch mainly fixes the existing bnxt_adj_tx_rings() and
bnxt_rings_ok():
1. bnxt_adj_tx_rings() is now renamed bnxt_adj_rings() to reflect that
all rings (tx, rx, cp) may adjust if needed. It will now correctly
scale down TX rings for XDP and TCs evenly. Because XDP requires
a 1:1 TX/RX ring mapping in combined channel mode, it will now clamp
the RX rings to match. CP rings will also be reduced if necessary.
Any leftover rings after integer division are intentionally left unused.
2. bnxt_rings_ok() is now updated to robustly check for the absolute
minimum viable ring configuration. We now call bnxt_rings_ok() to
make sure we have the bare minimum before calling the new
bnxt_adj_rings(). This now guarantees that bnxt_adj_rings() will
never underflow or truncate any rings to 0.
With these 2 main changes, we can now centralize bnxt_adj_rings() in
__bnxt_reserve_rings() and bnxt_init_int_mode() and delete other
adjustments and checks in other functions. Note that in
__bnxt_reserve_rings(), we only need to call bnxt_adj_rings() if
irq_re_init is true which means that bp->bnapi has not been allocated.
In this context, we may be asking for more rings than FW can grant
and we need to call bnxt_adj_rings() for possible adjustments. We
need to be careful when aborting __bnxt_reserve_rings() and
bnxt_init_int_mode() to restore the possibly truncated rings if
necessary so that the driver state is consistent.
We now remove the error path at the end of bnxt_reserve_rings() to abort
and reset the TCs if the rings cannot satisfy the TC requirements. The
user will have to reduce the TCs and retry.
There are other related changes to reset the RSS table if needed and
to recalculate the IRQs required if the rings have shrunk. Note that
the latter can only be done if the NAPIs have not been allocated yet.
As noted in the cover letter, we have similar existing issues regarding
RSS tables for non-default RSS contexts and user defined n-tuple
filters when RX rings shrink due to FW or MSI-X constraints. The fixes
for these are deferred to a separate patchset.
These existing issues were detected by Sashiko when reviewing the
new kTLS patchset (patch #3 of 15):

v3:
No longer have to deal with dropped NITRO A0
Fix the dynamic IRQ code path in bnxt_reserve_rings().
Use the proper __bnxt_num_tx_to_cp() in bnxt_rings_ok().
v2:
Reduce RX and CP rings if needed when TX rings are reduced to keep it
consistent.
Handle NITRO_A0 special RX requirements to keep it consistent.
Fix all unwind issues in these code paths.
