Hi!
I re-discussed MPLS/MTU internally, dropped it from the patch 1,
re-tested everything, found out I forgot about debugfs pointers,
fixed that as well.
v5:
- don't reserve space in RX buffers for MPLS label stack
(patch 1);
- fix debugfs pointers to ring structures (patch 5).
v4:
- cut down on unrelated patches;
- don't "close" the device on error path.
--- v4 cover letter
Previous series included some not entirely related patches,
this one is cut down. Main issue I'm trying to solve here
is that .ndo_change_mtu() in nfpvf driver is doing full
close/open to reallocate buffers - which if open fails
can result in device being basically closed even though
the interface is started. As suggested by you I try to move
towards a paradigm where the resources are allocated first
and the MTU change is only done once I'm certain (almost)
nothing can fail. Almost because I need to communicate
with FW and that can always time out.
Patch 1 fixes small issue. Next 10 patches reorganize things
so that I can easily allocate new rings and sets of buffers
while the device is running. Patches 13 and 15 reshape the
.ndo_change_mtu() and ethtool's ring-resize operation into
desired form.
Jakub Kicinski (15):
nfp: correct RX buffer length calculation
nfp: move link state interrupt request/free calls
nfp: break up nfp_net_{alloc|free}_rings
nfp: make *x_ring_init do all the init
nfp: allocate ring SW structs dynamically
nfp: cleanup tx ring flush and rename to reset
nfp: reorganize initial filling of RX rings
nfp: preallocate RX buffers early in .ndo_open
nfp: move filling ring information to FW config
nfp: slice .ndo_open() and .ndo_stop() up
nfp: sync ring state during FW reconfiguration
nfp: propagate list buffer size in struct rx_ring
nfp: convert .ndo_change_mtu() to prepare/commit paradigm
nfp: pass ring count as function parameter
nfp: allow ring size reconfiguration at runtime
