[PATCH net v3 08/10] net: stmmac: use the tracked datapath restart for XSK pool changes
From: James Hilliard
Date: Thu Sep 24 2026 - 14:43:33 EST
Live XSK pool changes free and replace individual RX/TX queues through
void helpers. An allocation failure is only logged and the caller enables
NAPI over missing rings. The TX queue and its timer also remain available
while their storage is being freed.
Use the XDP datapath release/open pair instead. Quiesce all NAPI contexts,
transmitters, IRQ handlers and timers while the old program and pool bitmap
still describe the active layout. Only then change the bitmap and rebuild
the queues. This pauses all queues during a pool change, but avoids a
partially running datapath and shares its failure and ownership handling
with program changes instead of maintaining a second queue-level lifetime.
Undo the new pool's bitmap bit and DMA mapping if reopening for attachment
fails. For removal, free every reference to the pool before unmapping it
and return success even if rebuilding the ordinary queues fails: socket
teardown must not leave the departing pool reachable. In both cases failed
reopening leaves the interface detached for down/up recovery.
Remove the unused per-queue allocation/enable helpers. Preserve their TBS
programming when using the full XDP reopen path, and clear the released TX
pool pointer alongside its RX counterpart.
Fixes: bba2556efad6 ("net: stmmac: Enable RX via AF_XDP zero-copy")
