[PATCH net v1] net/mlx5: HWS: Reject unsupported remove-header action
From: Prathamesh Deshpande
Date: Tue May 05 2026 - 20:01:36 EST
mlx5_cmd_hws_packet_reformat_alloc() handles
MLX5_REFORMAT_TYPE_REMOVE_HDR by looking up a matching HWS remove-header
action.
If mlx5_fs_get_action_remove_header_vlan() returns NULL, the code only
logs an error and continues. The function then returns success with a NULL
HWS action stored in the packet-reformat object.
Return an error when no matching remove-header action is available.
Fixes: aecd9d1020e3 ("net/mlx5: fs, add HWS packet reformat API function")
