Subject: [PATCH net-next v7 12/15] ibmveth: Report MQ-aware RX counts in ethtool get_channels
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 11:38:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9560e3e3b0fa2e90312660d6f32dc54d1073f8a5.1790319558.git.mmc@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1790319558.git.mmc@linux.ibm.com>
Report MQ-aware channel limits and counts from get_channels():
- max_rx is IBMVETH_MAX_RX_QUEUES when MQ firmware is enabled, else 1
- rx_count tracks the driver's published num_rx_queues
Previously get_channels() mirrored netdev->real_num_rx_queues for both
fields, which under-reports max_rx on MQ firmware and can disagree with
the driver's private RX count before the next open.
This patch only reports. set_channels() still only adjusts tx_count, so
an RX channel request returns -EOPNOTSUPP if rx_count changes, while
read-modify-write TX requests pass through with the live rx_count.
Patch 14 implements live RX resizing via ibmveth_resize_rx_channels(),
and patch 15 completes the down-path publish/rollback and caps max_rx
once mq_fallback latches.
Keep this out of the stats patch: channel reporting is ethtool -l ABI,
independent of per-queue counters, so it can be reviewed and blamed on
its own.

Changes in v7:
- reject rx_count change with -EOPNOTSUPP in
set_channels() until patch 14 implements resize
- noted: TX-only read-modify-write still passes;
max_rx stays here (reject, not reorder);
get_channels uses the adapter count,
get_base_stats uses real_num; RX max is
MAX_RX_QUEUES, not the TX CPU cap; P14
wires live rx_count resize; P15 is the
tip ABI (live rx_count, max_rx cap on
mq_fallback, max_tx at least the live tx_count)
Changes in v5:
- get_channels rx_count via get_num_rx_queues() (READ_ONCE consistency)
- New peel: get_channels from v4 stats -> tip P12 (14->15)
- get_channels: max_rx = MAX_RX_QUEUES when MQ else 1; rx_count =
get_num_rx_queues() (was mirroring real_num_rx_queues for both)
