[PATCH net-next v7 2/7] net: phy: phylink: add helper to modify pause
From: javen
Date: Tue Jul 21 2026 - 22:38:57 EST
From: Javen Xu <javen_xu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
For Realtek nics, when we enable jumbo, pause are not supported. So we
must check the pause capabilities from ourself and lp.
Signed-off-by: Javen Xu <javen_xu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
---
Changes in v5:
- no changes, new file
Changes in v6:
- rename phylink_update_mac_pause_capabilities(), this function only
changes mac pause capability
- set asym pause and pause according to config->pause tx and rx
- add phydev->lock when change pl->phydev->advertising
Changes in v7:
- modify the logic of phylink_update_mac_pause_capabilities
funciton
- extract a helper function to update phylink from phylink_ethtool_set_pauseparam
