[PATCH net-next v7 02/10] enic: add admin channel open and close for SR-IOV

From: Satish Kharat

Date: Wed May 13 2026 - 11:31:13 EST


The V2 SR-IOV design uses a dedicated admin channel (WQ/RQ/CQ/INTR
on separate BAR resources) for PF-VF mailbox communication rather
than firmware-proxied devcmds.

Introduce enic_admin_channel_open() and enic_admin_channel_close().
Open allocates and initialises the admin WQ, RQ, and two CQs (one per
direction), then issues CMD_QP_TYPE_SET to tell firmware the queues are
admin-type. Close reverses the sequence.

enic_admin_wq_buf_clean() unmaps and frees any WQ buffers still held
at close time, fixing a DMA mapping leak when a send times out.

Add CMD_QP_TYPE_SET (97), QP_TYPE_ADMIN/DATA, and QP_ENABLE/QP_DISABLE
defines to vnic_devcmd.h. Add VNIC_CQ_* named constants to vnic_cq.h
so CQ initialisation parameters are self-documenting from their first
introduction.
