Restore previous mqprio qdisc configuration if
tc_setup_dwmac510_mqprio() fails running the following configuration:
$tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: mqprio queues 2@0 2@2
$tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root handle 2: mqprio queues 2@0 2@2 fp E P
Propagate FPE preemption-class mapping errors in
tc_setup_dwmac510_mqprio() and tc_taprio_configure().

Changes in v3:
- Fix commit message.
- Rebase on top of net main branch.
- Add log in case of netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() failures in
tc_setup_dwmac510_mqprio() error path.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260909-stmmac-tc_setup_dwmac510_mqprio-error-path-v2-0-8158b8333b3d@oss.qualcomm.com
Changes in v2:

stmmac_fpe_map_preemption_class() dispatches through the
stmmac_do_void_callback() helper, which forces the callback's return
value to 0 whenever the op pointer is populated. As a result the
-EINVAL returned by dwmac5_fpe_map_preemption_class() (e.g. when a
preemptible TC owns more than one TXQ under SP scheduling) is silently
swallowed by every caller.
Switch the dispatch macro to stmmac_do_callback() so the callback's real
result is propagated, and honour it in the taprio and mqprio qdisc
offload.
Note that the taprio "if (ret)" check in tc_taprio_configure() used to
be dead code and now becomes live: a preemptible TC spanning more than
one TXQ under SP scheduling cannot be programmed in hardware, so a
taprio or mqprio configuration that previously returned success while
leaving the preemption-class register unprogrammed now fails with
-EINVAL. For taprio, the failure also runs the disable path, tearing
down the schedule that was just installed; this is the intended
behaviour.

With the FPE preemption-class mapping error now propagated from
stmmac_fpe_map_preemption_class(), tc_setup_dwmac510_mqprio() can fail
on the mapping step. The error path used to call stmmac_reset_tc_mqprio(),
which resets the number of real TX queues to priv->plat->tx_queues_to_use
(the platform maximum), overwriting the value that was active before the
offload was attempted (for example a lower count left over from a previous
mqprio configuration).
The issue can be triggered using the following configuration:
# First mqprio config lowers the hw queue count below the platform
# default (e.g. 8 TX queues).
$tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: mqprio queues 2@0 2@2
# Replace mqprio configuration with a second one that fails FPE
# preemption-class mapping. stmmac driver resets the real_num_tx_queues
# to the platform maximum, losing the previous configuration.
$tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root handle 2: mqprio queues 2@0 2@2 fp E P
Save ndev->real_num_tx_queues before lowering it and restore it,
together with the TC-to-queue and priority-to-TC mappings, when the FPE
preemption-class mapping fails, instead of resetting the queue count to
the platform maximum.
Note that a failed setup makes the qdisc layer run mqprio_destroy() on
the new qdisc. Because priv->hw_offload is only assigned after
ndo_setup_tc() succeeds, mqprio_destroy() calls netdev_set_num_tc(dev, 0),
so dev->num_tc ends up 0 regardless of the driver-side restore and the
previous qdisc is not reactivated. The restore is still needed to keep
real_num_tx_queues and to avoid leaving the failed configuration's
TC-to-queue and priority-to-TC mappings in place.

- Is the described condition narrower than what the code actually rejects?
In dwmac5_fpe_map_preemption_class() the SP rejection is not gated on the
TC being preemptible:
- I guess we can do a little improvement of the commit message if I need to
repost.

- Can a failed TAPRIO_CMD_REPLACE now leave sch_taprio and the hardware out
of sync? In tc_taprio_configure() the FPE mapping is validated only after
the gate control list has already been programmed and enabled:
ret = stmmac_est_configure(priv, priv, priv->est,
priv->plat->clk_ptp_rate);
mutex_unlock(&priv->est_lock);
if (ret) {
...
ret = stmmac_fpe_map_preemption_class(priv, priv->dev, extack,
qopt->mqprio.preemptible_tcs);
if (ret)
goto disable;
That "goto disable" was unreachable for every MAC providing the op while
the macro forced 0, and becomes live now. The disable block sets
priv->est->enable = false, reprograms EST, zeroes
priv->xstats.max_sdu_txq_drop/mtl_est_txq_hlbf/mtl_est_txq_hlbs and clears
the preemption class register, and the function returns -EINVAL.
- I think this issue is not introduced by this patch, but it is already there
and it should be fixed with a dedicated patch.
- Is this ternary reachable in any form other than "return ret;"? Following
the call with pclass == 0:
- dwmac5_fpe_map_preemption_class() takes "if (!pclass) goto
update_mapping;" and falls through to "return 0;"
- dwxgmac3_fpe_map_preemption_class() has no error return at all
- I think the current implementation is more robust for any future change
even if in the current code if pclass is 0, it can't return an error code.

- Same question for the mqprio delete path: with pclass == 0 the value
returned by stmmac_reset_tc_mqprio() can only encode "callback op pointer
missing", after netdev_reset_tc() and netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() have
already been applied. Is propagating it useful here, or would keeping
"return 0;" after the reset match what the hardware state actually is?
- Same here, I think the current implementation is more robust for any
future change.

- Is the loss of the FPE reprogramming step on these two labels intentional?
The old err_reset_tc path went through stmmac_reset_tc_mqprio(), which ends
with:
return stmmac_fpe_map_preemption_class(priv, ndev, extack, 0);
The new error_reset_num_tx_queues / error_reset_tc labels only touch netdev
software state (stmmac_set_ndev_tcs() -> netdev_reset_tc() /
netdev_set_num_tc() / netdev_set_tc_queue(), plus
netdev_set_prio_tc_map()), so the hardware mapping is never rewritten.
- I guess we have already discussed about it. If qdisc replace fails, I think
the driver should restore the previous offloaded hw configuration. It is then
up to sch_mqprio qdisc to properly restore the logic. Here sch_mqprio does
not run mqprio_disable_offload() and this one seems a sch_mqprio bug to me.

Lorenzo
