[PATCH net-next v2 05/13] net: mana: swap queue sets in mana_change_mtu

From: Long Li

Date: Tue Aug 11 2026 - 02:44:32 EST


The RX buffer layout depends on the MTU - see mana_get_rxbuf_cfg() - so
changing it rebuilds the queues. Convert mana_change_mtu() to the
pre-allocate and swap helpers.

The MTU becomes part of the queue-set configuration:

- struct mana_qset gains mtu, so it is swapped atomically with the
queues it describes and restored by the rollback path.
- mana_port_context gains configured_mtu, the MTU the current RX queues
were built for. mana_create_rxq() now sizes buffers from it rather
than ndev->mtu, so a new set can be built for a different MTU while
ndev->mtu still advertises the old one.
- mana_publish_qset() commits ndev->mtu once the new set is serving
traffic. It is a no-op for callers that do not change the MTU.

Previously ndev->mtu was written before mana_attach() and rolled back on
failure, so a failed change was briefly visible to the stack.

mana_pre_alloc_rxbufs() is no longer needed here; de-risking allocation
after teardown is pointless when there is no teardown.
