[PATCH net 3/3] net/mlx5e: Fix reporting support for all RS FEC variants

From: Tariq Toukan

Date: Wed Sep 02 2026 - 13:36:48 EST


From: Shahar Shitrit <shshitrit@xxxxxxxxxx>

get_fec_supported_advertised() populates the FEC modes reported as
supported to userspace. The MLX5E_ADVERTISE_SUPPORTED_FEC macro only
checked MLX5E_FEC_RS_528_514, causing devices that support only the
other RS variants (RS_544_514_INTERLEAVED_QUAD or RS_544_514) to not
advertise RS as supported to ethtool at all.

Introduce MLX5E_FEC_RS_MASK covering all three RS bit positions,
update the macro to accept a bitmask directly rather than a single
enum value, and pass MLX5E_FEC_RS_MASK for the RS entry.

Fixes: b5ede32d3329 ("net/mlx5e: Add support for FEC modes based on 50G per lane links")
Fixes: 4e343c11efbb ("net/mlx5e: Support FEC settings for 200G per lane link modes")
