[PATCH net] octeontx2-af: Handle pool context address update in aura WRITE operation

From: nshettyj

Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 06:57:31 EST


From: Ashwin Sekhar T K <asekhar@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The NPA AQ WRITE operation for aura context was not translating the
pool_id in aura.pool_addr to the actual pool context IOVA, unlike the
INIT path which already did this correctly.

Add a helper npa_aura_translate_pool_addr() that validates pool_ctx,
checks bounds, and performs the pool_id to IOVA translation. Use it
in both the WRITE and INIT paths to fix the missing translation and
avoid code duplication.

Fixes: 4a3581cd5995 ("octeontx2-af: NPA AQ instruction enqueue support")
