[PATCH net-next v4 1/4] net: stmmac: embed struct stmmac_est in stmmac_priv struct

From: James Hilliard

Date: Thu Oct 01 2026 - 00:13:11 EST


From: Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo.bianconi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This is a preliminary change to fix EST reconfiguration in the open
and resume paths: the taprio offload must be re-applied after the DMA
soft reset clears the MTL_EST registers, but the current layout makes
that fragile.
priv->est is currently a pointer allocated with devm_kzalloc() on the
first taprio REPLACE, and the mutex guarding it (priv->est_lock) is
initialized at the same time. That ties the lock's validity to whether
taprio has ever been configured, so the EST parameters can not be
read under the lock (e.g. to check priv->est->enable in the open and
resume paths) before the first offload setup.
Embed struct stmmac_est into struct stmmac_priv and initialize the mutex
in probe(). This makes the code simpler (no logical changes added).
Moreover, the lock is now unconditionally valid, so the enable flag can
be inspected under the lock from any control path.
