From: Ido Schimmel <ido...@mellanox.com> The shared buffer pools are containers whose size is used to calculate the maximum usage for packets from / to a specific port / {port, PG/TC}, when dynamic threshold is employed.
While it's perfectly fine for the sum of the pools to exceed the maximum size of the shared buffer, a single pool cannot. Add a check when the pool size is set and forbid sizes larger than the maximum size of the shared buffer. Without the patch: $ devlink sb pool set pci/0000:03:00.0 pool 0 size 999999999 thtype dynamic // No error is returned With the patch: $ devlink sb pool set pci/0000:03:00.0 pool 0 size 999999999 thtype dynamic devlink answers: Invalid argument Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <ido...@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <j...@mellanox.com> --- drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum_buffers.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum_buffers.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum_buffers.c index bcaed8a..a746826 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum_buffers.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum_buffers.c @@ -611,6 +611,9 @@ int mlxsw_sp_sb_pool_set(struct mlxsw_core *mlxsw_core, u32 pool_size = MLXSW_SP_BYTES_TO_CELLS(size); enum mlxsw_reg_sbpr_mode mode; + if (size > MLXSW_CORE_RES_GET(mlxsw_sp->core, MAX_BUFFER_SIZE)) + return -EINVAL; + mode = (enum mlxsw_reg_sbpr_mode) threshold_type; return mlxsw_sp_sb_pr_write(mlxsw_sp, pool, dir, mode, pool_size); } -- 2.7.4
